    Biscuits and gravy - turkey
    Kirby H.

    Brand new first watch restaurant near me was very nicely thought out and decorated. I feel like their food is always top-notch and reasonably priced. Had the brussels sprouts hash as well as the biscuits and gravy, which was surprisingly wonderful even though it was made with ground turkey sausage. Will definitely be coming back here again.

    Always a nice breakfast or brunch when we visit First Watch regardless of location. Enjoy the ambiance, decor and friendly service. Portions generous and bottomless coffee is always nice! Thank you First Watch! This location is nice because of the covered patio!

    I have been to this establishment a few times over the last two years. While the food is usually…read morevery good, the service and attitude of the employees has been less than stellar. The last time we went was a prime example. For one thing, when you ask a patron whether their gluten-free option is an allergy or a preference, it can come off very rude the way it is ask. If someone wants something gluten-free, then it should just be made gluten-free. No questions asked as that is rather intrusive. The second thing is we were eating lunch and there were about eight other people in there. It was 2:05. We didn't realize what time it was. They could've simply said. "Hey we're closing in the dining room" and we would have left. Instead they started putting up chairs and mopping the floor. There was an elderly couple in there, and I am on crutches due to A knee surgery. We all had to leave over wet floors and they seemed to care less. Even locking the front door and asking us to walk down the wet hallway with no rugs to leave. It was merely 2:10pm. They were downright rude and could've cared less for the patrons safety.

    Cute café vibe with a little retail area when you walk in. Parking can be tricky, limited parking…read morespots, so just be prepared if it's busy. You grab your own table and order at the counter. Food is brought to you. The lunch menu was decent, though the breakfast menu looked even better, and I expected a few more coffee options. I had the smoked turkey club, super fresh and really good! Overall, good food and a cute spot. I'd come back and try breakfast next time!

Within 20 minutes we received our text and were seated. The ambiance was fun and relaxing to the seating to the music, all a good vibe. Our waiter, Preston, was amazing. From start to finish he brought the energy and recommended a few things! White Sangria was amazing. Make sure to get the biscuits and you'll need more because they are . We shared the street corn nachos and you'll have to try the freshest jalapeños on them, by far the best nachos ever! I kept with the theme and did the Al pastor tacos but with grilled chicken plus queso and chips on the side! Stuffed and amazed at how quick yet fresh and delicious everything was. Every single person kept saying how great their meal was. Danielle, the manager even stopped by to make sure everyone was taken care of! After an amazing meal like that we had to try the desserts, the butter cake and banana were both great but definitely think if you only get one, the butter cake is where it's at. I will absolutely make sure to plan a visit here on my next trip.

    Great vibes, disappointing service and execution Came here…read morefor a company dinner after a long, rough day, and I was really hoping Kitchen Social would be the reset we needed. The ambiance was definitely vibey and perfect for socializing, with a lively atmosphere that fit our group of 13 well. Unfortunately, everything after the hostess stand went downhill on the service side. Our server felt disengaged from the start and rarely checked on us. It was hard to tell if we'd said something wrong or if he was just having an off night, but even after asking other staff members to send him over, he never came back to check on our table. With automatic gratuity already added for a large party, it was disappointing to experience such minimal attention and care. What I had: * Mediterranean Salmon (shared): The portion split felt more like 75/25 than an even share, which was a little odd for something asked to be split. The salmon itself was decent, but the hummus quickly overpowered the dish if you mixed everything together. * Teriyaki Ribeye: I requested medium rare and received a steak well past well-done, dry enough that it was basically inedible. It almost tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly cooked. Since our server never checked in, I had to flag someone else down to get it replaced, and the remake took about 15 minutes to arrive--even though the cut was thin and already marinated. * Old Fashioned: The cocktail came out quite watered down, with very little depth of flavor. I would've asked for it to be remade, but again, our server was nowhere to be found. The bar program also felt surprisingly limited for a place that leans into a social, cocktail-forward vibe, which added to the letdown. Between the uneven service, lack of follow-through, and several misses on the food and drinks, it's hard to say I'd rush back--especially when there are so many other strong options in Columbus.

This is a very bright lighted and well taken care of establishment with nice clean bathrooms as well. We received decent service, and received our food in a timely manner. We started with the Burnt Ends Poutine, which is a shareable sized loaded French fries with Smoked Brisket, Cheese Curds, Beef Gravy and perfectly pickle red onion on top. For 15$ I Never had fries this way but it certainly didn't disappoint and was very interesting. Everyone decided on burgers. Two of us got the French onion burger and two of us got the All American Burger. The French onion burger consisted of very very caramelized onions, three different cheeses, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato and a toasted bun with butter accompanied by french fries. The caramelized onions were so creamy and tasty. It really brought the whole burger together. The All-American Burger consisted of grilled onions, American cheese, a special sauce, bacon, lettuce, tomato on a buttered toasted bun with fries. The burgers were pretty big in patty size and we all finished our food with no problems. I'm glad we came here instead of spending over 100$ on 3 meals at the zoo!!

Our last visit we were blown away at how fresh and well baked everything was. Even the oatmeal was smooth and creamy. The servers were also so happy to help us select items and tell us about the products. This time, we were an afterthought and seemed liked a nuisance for not knowing what we wanted. I felt like the pastry selection was small compared to the location we went to before. The breakfast sandwich was really thrown together- the last time it was warm and cohesive with a good amount of sauce and the eggs were so fluffy and light. This time very rubbery. The croissant I had was raw/doughy although well flavored. Oatmeal was one big clump versus smooth and velvety. The strawberry matcha was super sweet with almost no "matcha" layer. Our cinnamon roll was over baked with no delicious gooey bits. Seemed like an affluent neighborhood which will support this addition, but maybe an instance where expansion is happening at the expense of quality.

There was a reservation for the 7-top table we were seated at, at 6pm and we were told that might be cutting it too close because they like to allow over 2 hours for a "large" party of six. They seated us anyway, but the vibe was that we needed to understand that we had a limited time. Since we were not having a celebration, we were pretty certain that we wouldn't take two hours to eat. That all seemed super odd to us and we kind of joked with each other about it during the meal. Spoiler alert: we were out in about an hour. I ordered the Shady Legs seasonal specialty cocktail. It had a cucumber soda water and a berry infused vodka and berry simple syrup. It came decorated cute with a flamingo toothpick, but I had to open my own umbrella on it, lol. It was unremarkable and the other person that ordered it agreed. The table shared the Buffalo Cauliflower and Honey Ginger Soy Cauliflower wings. Both were delicious and made just right to not be too raw or too mushy. I and another person got the Sweet Potato Noodles and they were very good and we both agreed we'd order that again. However, we both agreed that we thought it came with actual "noodles" made from sweet potatoes and were not expecting spiralized sweet potatoes. That didn't ruin the meal, because fortunately they were just the right consistency, Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals, but both people wondered the Chickpea Curry said they thought it needed more sauce. As I said, we, with our "large" party were in and out in about an hour, so crisis diverted with the reservation for our table after we left.
