Always love First watch! This is the smallest one I've been to so be prepared to wait or at least put yourself on the waitlist. Food is great and the service is perfect. Their fresh squeezed juices are amazing! Also love how many gluten free options they have. The ham and Gruyère omelette was literally amazing! So cheesy and delicious. Also so happy I got extra potatoes...highly recommend. My husband loved his biscuits and gravy and I wish I had tried some! Go here and enjoy. read more

I placed a carry out order at First Watch. I was given the standard 20 minute wait time. I asked four times within a period of an hour about my order and was assured it would be out soon. Finally, I was told that my order was picked up by someone else, and I would have to wait another 45 minutes for my order. I was also given $30 in bonus bucks to cover the order for three people. UNACCEPTABLE! My order should have taken priority. Management is incompetent and needs a refresher course in customer service and logic. Logically my order should have taken priority. I am hoping that another breakfast place will open in the area. I will not be using the very generous $30 in bonus bucks because I won't be going back. read more

First time at First Watch. New location for brunch after church was told there was a 45 minute wait unless we sat at the community table. We took the community table, sat with eight other guests at a tall table,and tall chairs, but we were served immediately, and the food wasn't far behind. Service was amazing. Food was fresh and delicious and hot. Coffee was hot. Water was ice cold.. Can't wait to go back next week. read more

Power Wrap substitute Deli Turkey for Turkey Sausage & it was 5 stars. Sangria 2 stars. Lots of chunks & sour. Service from Ashly zero. Very pissy & unnecessarily rude. I asked her for more napkins & she rudely threw them down & walked away. When she dropped off my wrap she didn't say a word just put it in the middle of the table & walked away. I'd say she was having a bad day, but was friendly to the chefs. Really should've left zero tip, but left $2. read more

First time here decided to swing in after work and give it a tray. Is laid back and welcoming. Staff is friendly and the dining area is spacious as well as they have a few tables outside on the patio you can eat at if you like to eat outside. The food was fresh and simple with good flavors. I will be back again to try the lemon ricotta pancakes. read more

That Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich? This may well be the absolute BEST breakfast sandwich I have ever eaten. I judge all my breakfast sandwiches on the sausage egg and cheese from T&M deli, and this one far surpasses that. The wait staff was above par. The coffee was excellent. All in all, this was a great place for breakfast. read more

Food was great, and came out quickly! Always busy, but the service and staff are nice and very efficient. Love eating here anytime I visit my in-laws! read more

Delicious Cobb salad, and broccoli cheese soup! Blackberry iced tea also delicious! Service was outstanding! We will be back!

I had not been here for a few years. Today's meal was Floridian French Toast. It was topped with a mountain of Fruit including Bananas, Strawberries, and Kiwi. The eye appeal was stunning. The other meal ordered, was the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. Of the two meals, the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were the best. The lemon glaze on the Pancakes made the meal perfection. The coffee was outstanding. Price points are high, each meal at least 9.00. But the portions are very generous. The menu has so many choices. There is something here for everyone! read more

The only positive thing about this place was the waitress. She was very friendly. That's why 2 star and not one. This was an very bad first experience. I won't go back. The tangerine dream drink was really good. I never tasted the food. I asked for my skillet to have scrambled eggs (since you know they are always cooked right) and no cheese. I got it with sunny side up eggs and cheese. The food was slow to come out also. I asked for the manager to come out and speak to me. His response I was told was that he was busy and would come out if there was time. Very poor attitude. They remade it, however the scrambled eggs were watery in many spots. I tried to remove those spots than decided that was too much work for the money I was spending. The manager never came out. Clearly he didn't care. I left without eating and the waitress said they would take care of the check. I did offered to pay for the drink. She said no need. I went to McDonald's instead. read more

Recently visited First Watch for the first time in a few years. I ordered avocado toast with two eggs and a vanilla iced coffee. It wasn't my favorite but it wasn't too bad. They weren't very busy so I couldn't understand why our server wasn't very attentive to us. She was very nice and pleasant when she was around maybe she was new. I would be willing to give it another try. I know we are in a pandemic and these restaurants are under a lot of stress and have to work under different t conditions so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt so that's why I am giving them a four. read more

I didn't realize that first watch was a chain... I had been to one previously in Tampa. This spot was pretty packed and we waited about 40 min for a table. We were looking for a spot for a late breakfast and saw that there was a first watch a couple miles away so headed over. I started with the kale tonic juice and had the avocado toast with 2 over medium eggs. The juice was super refreshing and the avocado toast loaded with avocado atop a nice hearty multigrain bread. It was super tasty... The finishing salt on top was a nice touch and was put on with a light hand. My eggs were done perfectly with the whites cooked through and the yokes runny. Great spot that I'd definitely return to. read more

Our server, Hannah, was hands-down incredible. Great food and excellent service!! I highly recommend this First Watch.

Stopped in for some Brunch during the holiday break and was relatively happy with the experience. I was able to put my spot in line online and have a table ready when I got there. There were 4 of us there total. They brought coffee mugs and waters for all of us. I ordered an iced coffee but couldn't even drink it because it was so sweet and sugary. Ended up just drinking the coffee on the table. The food portions were nice and filling. A little on the expensive side but the quality is worth it. The waitress did seem semi pushy trying to get us to leave so we left sooner than we would have liked, didn't even get a box for the leftovers. Between that and the undrinkabke iced coffee it was good. Would definitely stop again. read more

Excellent place for brunch! Ate Bacado omelet today and it was delicious. Good ratio of eggs to filling. Potatoes were good but a little spicy which I wasn't expecting. Everything was freshly prepared and hot. Staff was wonderful! I recommend this omelet but next time will get fruit or salad greens instead of potatoes. Also delicious was the fruit spread that came with the gluten free bread. It's nice to eat at a really good breakfast and brunch restaurant where gluten free bread is offered. read more

The kind of place where you chug a whole carafe of Columbian coffee by yourself and walk away satisfied. Almost stereotypical in terms of being a trendy breakfast place, but everything was great. We'll go back. Must-Try: - Blue Booster juice - Orange Juice - Coffee - Pancakes (kid's choc chip pancakes great) Not missing out: N/A Menu somewhat predictable but everything sounded good and we struggled picking. Prices slightly higher, but relative to similar places, very reasonable. Baja chicken burrito bowl with juicy chicken, hearty grains and bright kale slaw. Seasoned beans and lime crema perhaps lackluster. Farmhouse hash well made. Most pieces had good color, some pieces were too charred. read more

First Watch has the best breakfasts. So many healthy options, great taste and good service.

This place is a Breakfast and brunch heaven!!! Be ready for a wait because they are always busy. But I think that shows how good of a place this truly is, to always have steady business! I ordered a power Baja chicken bowl. I left feeling full and satisfied! I also tried one of their fresh squeezed juices, which was very refreshing. Was exactly what I needed to pair with my food. As a table we shared the million dollar bacon. If you eat here, these are a must! They are both savory and sweet! I cannot wait to come back! read more

Been going here forever. Food is always great. Service is awesome. And the atmosphere is pretty good for a breakfast place

First watch is always a treat. This trip and location was no different. I asked the waitress what I should get and she recommended pork belly and poached eggs. Was she ever correct, it was spectacular. The fresh fruit cup was much better than I would expect for the season and the coffee was great as I expected. Go enjoy this meal!!!! read more

First Watch - Pork belly with poached eggs and fruit cup. Incredible!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

This place is AMAZING - I would wait forever to eat there if the time was right but you don't even have to because they'll text you when your seat is ready so you can get some steps in at the mall or just wander about ... but I digress ... The FOOD - my only complaint is that everything looks amazing and it all is - it's one of the few places I'll eat foods that I am sensitive to because the flare up or discomfort is 100% worth it. Portions are generous - I took my two cousins there and we all just shared all of our meals and still took food home. When I left all I wanted to do was go back. I typically feel like restaurants attached to a mall, specifically Summit Mall, are - to be blunt - garbage. Let's get real - Ruby Tuesday, there was once a Burger King, I don't know what's going on over at Bravo - plenty of others that have come and gone. This place is gold - I hope it doesn't have the same fate. I have not tried their take out, but I'm sure it's great as well! read more

I don't where to begin! Well, I started this morning with opening my eyes and craving something very... refreshing! I knew exactly where to go. First Watch! I would recommend this if you want something that is not that pricey but rather delicious. The waitress was quite sweet, as she was very patient and polite with me. I have to admit, I have difficulties with choosing; so I sat here for some time, but she made sure that I truly could choose something perfect for me. The light shining through to me was amazing as well, and the windows I was sat by made it even better. Only thing I did dislike was how small our table was. What I did though food wise was getting pancakes and my partner Brucie got gravy and eggs. We splitsies! I had a lot of fun and enjoyed my food, perfect way to wake up to in the morning. read more

The food here is fantastic and they have so many good options for breakfast. But while the service and ambiance is pretty good, we had to wait for around 20 - 40 minutes before being seated, but that just proves that everyone loves it. I would definitely recommend this place for a great breakfast. read more

I want to like this place so much. The food was ok at best, but the kitchen was constantly behind, orders were wrong, and it took way to long. The service was great aside from that. If I could rate the wait staff separately, that would be five stars; the kitchen-zero stars. This was over five visits. read more

I got the chickencanga. It was DELICIOUS!!! First time getting it and now its my favorite item on the menu! It has probably the best grilled chicken ive tasted,, avocado, chorizo, jalapeños i think, sour cream, and this cream sauce. The tortilla was nice and crispy/crunchy but not too much. Everything was on point! The food came to our table fast. The waitress was Jesslien she was super sweet. We wanted to sit outside and it got too hot and right away she sat us in a nice cool booth inside. read more

Service was excellent, facilities were clean, ingredients were fresh and healthy. This would be a place I'd frequent. My complaint is the serving sizes for the pricing. One of those needs adjusted. Other than that, good job! Whole-grain pancakes had a great texture and nice flavor. The BLT eggs Benedict was very light on ingredients for the pricing but had great flavor. Really enjoyed our breakfast, but was hungry in a couple hours. read more

Neither the atmosphere or menu is inviting unless you are a trendy hipster type. We had to try it because it's new, but will never go back. Very overpriced for what you get as well. read more

First time visit to this location, second visit to a First watch resturaunt. I have to say they are consistent, great food and spotty service. The atmosphere in this location is pretty bland to the other one we were in. We ordered the Pork Belly & Grits, smoked salmon frittata, biscuit & Gravy and the super food kale salad. All the food was great from the flavors to the texture and seasonings very delightful. The dishes presentation was nice and the food did arrive quickly, but the server for some reason could not remember to refill our drinks but was quick to give us the bill to pay and leave. As much as their service needs work we will return because of the food. read more

Worst First Watch in the county, honestly they should fire every manager and district manager at this location. Always a night mare, don't dare order anything online. That's the biggest joke! They tell you time At least 1hour wait, expect another hour to wait. Two hours for to go orders and there not that busy. Call them and they said they don't have your order but you have an email that says they have your order. Complete idiots! Orders are always wrong, they Constantly leave items out of order. It's a joke! read more

Horrible they tell you 45 minute wait so we said ok will wait. Guess what an hour and 15 min later we're going home with nothing to eat after we were told more online guests are coming..... with tables open but our parties not big enough for the tables that we're open. ...... read more
