The décor, people and overall feel of the place deserves 5 stars. The food is what all my review stars are concerning, so let's get right to it. It's very farm-table and welcoming when you walk through the door. Your greeted with smiltes the whole time and that goes a loooonng way! We ordered two elevated egg sandwiches(one with bacon, the other tomato) a bowl of tombaz soup and the little us had chocolate chip pancakes. By the way, their orange juice is really good. My "veggie" elevated egg sam was made great. The egg was perfect texture and the smashed avocado compliments the lightly dressed arugula very well. It comes with potatoes that LOOK the perfect level of crisp, but upon eating they seem soggy and definitely not salted at all. Potatoes and salt are like PB&J. The tombaz has good color and was served at the perfect temp as well...and as such, was not salted much either. The pancakes are flat-out criminally delicious. Minus the cakes, the food didn't have its own identity to stand out from most places, but all-in-all it was good. I would give 3.5 if i could. read more

See all

This is my favorite breakfast place. My kids and I love all of the food. It's clean and the staff is friendly. I've been many times and have always had a great experience. read more

The first time I went I ordered the pancake breakfast with eggs and sausage. The coffee is great and if you want real creamer they will bring some. The second time I ordered the eggs benedict with the ham and it was ok. I would rather have canadian bacon and not ham lunch meat on my eggs benedict, personally and I don't like the home fries. The waitress said next time I can ask for them crispy. My husband loves the omlettes with greens. The menu is fairly healthy which is nice. Both times our waitress was fast so I don't know which ones are the slower. read more

The juices here are divine. Seriously, doesn't matter which one you choose (but i'm very partial to the Morning Meditation.) The food is good, service is usually friendly and fast, though sometimes if they are super busy it can be hit or miss on the friendly aspect. Definitely a good brunch option. read more

Food was good overall but presentation left something to be admired. The glasses and cups at the table looked dirty. Our waiter was very difficult to find. I feel like we were left to fend for ourselves. I would like to go again but I'm not sure I can get past the first impression. read more

Great service. The avocado toast and French toast are very yummy! Big portions. Parking can be a challenge.

This location needs to seriously get their act together! We have been First Watch fans for over a year now, from other locations. We were so excited to have FW come to our local area! At this location the staff is inconsistent, some are good others are bad. The food will be perfect one visit and terrible the next. And the dishwasher, mechanical or human, not so good. Come on manager / owner, step up your game if you want to be successful in this area! read more

This place uses fresh, healthy options when preparing their foods. Artisan breads, fresh guacamole. Eggs cooked to perfection. Friendly service. Highly recommended! read more

Great place for healthy fare. We eat here often for lunch although it's mostly a breakfast menu . Service is always excellent and food is spot on. I enjoy their coffee. read more

One of best place to have breakfast at very helpful and friendly service. Clean environment

Honestly I'm so disappointed I have to put one star. The first time I went everything was amazing, service was great, and I was already planning my next trip. This previous time 7/11/21 it was very busy, understandably. We waited for an hour to get a table which was fine we knew pulling into the parking lot there would be a wait. 25-30 minutes into waiting I told the host that we wouldn't mind sitting outside. We were trying to accommodate them knowing how busy they were. We get seated outside 30 minutes later then wait for another 10 minutes only to have to go inside and find our server. She takes our drinks and is very kind but it was a constant battle to get service. Out of sight out of mind I guess. Right before our food comes out it's starts pouring down raining, we are getting soaked and our server brings the food out then leaves. No one even asked if we'd like to go inside or even tried to accommodate us. I blame management. read more

Food is interesting, there is somewhat of a spin on everything . I like the atmosphere and decor. Pricing seems a little high for the portion given. They are very proud of their million dollar bacon and it's priced accordingly. read more

This is such a great find! Thanks Yelp! I ordered the traditional breakfast and it was soooooo good! An inviting and friendly atmosphere. I'll definitely return! read more

Wow! Million dollar bacon, custom breakfast drinks and the best service in town!! Be sure to come and try this spot for breakfast/brunch

The call ahead through Yelp is great. When we got there only had 1 party a head of us to be seated. Food was excellent?!

We love coming here for lunch, not as crowded! Our fav's are: chickichanga, pesto chicken quinoa bowl, super kale salad.

Yummy breakfast with lots of options. Servers are courteous and food is prepared as requested.

I enjoyed first watch but have noticed a decline in quality and small things like the choice of sugar substitutes are all but gone

Great food. Even better service and staff. For as busy as it was the place still felt calm. Richy made us feel very welcome and made sure everything came out perfect. Best brunch in town. read more

Really amazing food. we are from California and the farm fresh, taste sensation meal was quite the experience. My husbamd had the pot roast skillet and it was amazing. I had the Belgian waffle plate and i know i will wake up dreaming about it in the future! Highly recommend visiting the First Watch!! read more

I went for breakfast with my wife this morning. This location used to be an "Egg and I" franchise. We actually had gone soon after the transition a few weeks ago. I ordered the Benedict with salmon. The restaurant had just reopened. Service was slow, and by the time I got my food the eggs were rock hard and the salmon had a definite funky taste to it. It took a while, and the waitress took it back and got me another meal (the Bacado.) It was ok, but because my wife had already finished by the time I got it, I really wasn't able to enjoy it. After all the long wait she brought the check on which was the original Benedict and the replacement omelette. I mentioned that I should not have to pay for the meal that was inedible. She gave me a coupon for a free entree instead. I wasn't happy, but instead of making a scene, we took the offer. We went back today- the parking lot was crowded, but it must have been for some other store (orange fitness?) We were seated quickly and the waitress brought coffee and took our order. My wife got the "elevated egg sandwich" and I got the "works omelette". Her sandwich came and I have to say it looked like it was served on a burger bun. Not very appealing. She cut into it and the egg white had not been fully cooked. The potatoes that came with were ok. My omelette was bland. I used to work as a short order cook and I love breakfast. Omelettes should not be a layer of dried over cooked eggs with the ingredients rolled up inside. This makes it so when you take a bite all of the ingredients fall out. The cheese wasn't enough to hold it together. There was a wild green salad and whole wheat toast with it - ok. Both my wife and I felt the food was "Meh." Seasoning is such an important part of cooking - they should take note. For a second visit, not enough to bring us back. I would add that they overcharged from the menu price. The manger took 2.00 off the bill- we used the free entree. And it was still almost $14.00 for 1 entree and coffee and a soda. Pretty expensive. read more

This location is awesome. The food is delicious! The employees are really nice and the restaurant is really clean. I would recommend joint the wait list online because it's always busy when we go. Try the Classic Eggs Benedict! read more

Great place for sit down breakfast/brunch. My husband and I finally tried something different today and neither of us was disappointed. Breakfast tacos for him and market hash for me. Strawberry smash is tasty also. As an added bonus, both our kids always eat without complaint here. The wait time is never as long as predicted and staff are friendly. read more

I was a huge fan of the old Egg and I, so I had some qualms about trying the new First Watch. First: the positives. We were seated quickly on a fairly busy Sunday morning and received Very good service. The waitress was knowledgeable about the new menu and even brought us samples of their new superfood juices. We ended up getting the Kale juice (very tasty). Our breakfasts came out quickly and were hot. Waffles were good. Now the negatives: the biggest issue would be that the food was just 'meh'; eggs lacked seasoning and were over cooked. Bacon was cooked to the point it was like chewing gravel. In addition, this restaurant no longer serves the wonderful pork green chili sauce from 'Egg and I' nor has a good salsa ( just pico de gallo). For $50 dollars for 2 people I expected more. read more

Went to this in Columbus, the food was pretty good except the excess butter slathered on the toast. It was decent but not spectacular and for the price was expecting better. read more

This was the first time I had visited First Watch since changing from the Egg and I. I absolutely love the decor. It has mostly the same staff but looks like different management. The Bacado was great! We also enjoyed the Egg sandwich. Super fresh food. My server Asia was really friendly. I do suggest the management coming around talking to the tables since this is a change in restaurants. It seems better run than the Egg and I. All staff was super friendly. read more

This place is good for some breakfast and I also like their salads. They have a flavorful twist on their salads and sandwiches to give you a more fun healthy option which I appreciate. They sell juices as well. read more

I really love this place. My favorite it's Eggs Benedict BLT and Avocado Omelette. My family and I every week come to have lunch

The food was amazing but are server was slow.If you want good food go,if you in a rush don't.

Avocado toast was great and enough for 2 people. I do wish they had mimosas but the green juice is on point! One thing to know about this place is that they do not have fresh cream for coffee . read more

Walked in less than 20 minutes ago, got seated right away and had our menus. Table in front of us had 2 guys sitting there and a 3rd joined them the waitress took their drink orders and totally blew us off when she went by twice. Then she proceeds to take their order and bullshitting away. Another couple had since been seated and was being waited on while we sat. The girl who seated us came by an said our waitress would be with us soon. I said no, I'm not putting up with this, I'm out of here. Fuck them!! read more

Very fun creative food, and not to mention, delicious!!! The environment is super relaxed and has a very cute rustic theme.

Very good breakfast spot. Nothing on the menu looks bad. The only downside is the price. Too pricey for a breakfast spot.

This place has amazing food! My husband and I go to First Watch at least once a week for breakfast. The food is always fresh and delicious! The Banana Granola Crunch pancake is to die for! My husband has tried several of their dishes and has loved all of them but me, I just can't get enough of the Banana Pancake! read more

Great food but very expensive especially for breakfast. Breakfast for two people should NEVER be over $30.

Expensive prices for yuppie/hipster breakfast food. The quality is good - but they just gourmet up basic breakfast food.

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!! I almost didn't come because their average rating wasn't that high. But they definitely deserve a great rating! I ordered their avocado toast and it has SO much avocado on it! The toast was amazing on top of that, and they were so kind! Go here- and order the avocado toast! read more

Great breakfast and lunch. Everything is fresh. Their balsamic salad dressing is amazing also great bread. Prices good, service has always been great. read more

Service has been slow to ultra slow every time we've been here. Currently sharing a coffee mug because we haven't seen our server for 15 minutes after asking for one. Food is OK, nothing spectacular. Only reason I keep coming back is due to the limited breakfast options around here. Did I mention how terrible the service is? read more

Love lunch here! Soup and salad is really great!! Would highly recommend this for breakfast and lunch.
