i love this place. amazing. love it. soooo good. great juice. great french toast. great interior as well

I went there with my daughter and her two friends this morning for the first time. It was just OK. The coffee and bacon was great. The food was just average for the high price I paid. Breakfast for 4 people ran me $61. Solon needs a simple diner in town! read more

One of my favorite places. I am never disappointed with anything I order here. The food is fresh and full of flavor. The staff is great. I recommended the tomato soup, one of the best things on the menu. read more

First time there...food was FAR better than your typical breakfast dinner. They had decent vegan options and great service. I know it's a chain, but they could use a name change, thought it was a security shop or medical supply company. read more

The place has gone downhill. It smells is dirty and food not as fresh as it used to be.

A nice breakfast place. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere follows their culinary path. The food is fresh, much healthier than most other breakfast places, but has great taste and variety. If you are a big eater, you might not leave full, but you will leave happy. read more

Oh man, I really wanted to like this place. So badly did I want to like this place that I went here on my birthday with my whole family. But really what ended up happening was that we spent a hefty chunk of change for breakfast and we were all disappointed. The first thing I'll say is that the service is not great. Not bad, but not great. It was very hard to get our waitresses attention and there were at least two rounds of empty coffee cups that weren't filled for more then five minutes. This place brings you a carafe but the thing was empty in 30 seconds the first time, and then the next two replacements were lukewarm to cold (which we sent back and it took more then 10 minutes to get a replacement on the last one). Totally unacceptable for a breakfast place. Also, in regards to the service, the waitress seemed very green. Not only did she not know the menu (at all) but this also might have been her first waitress job because her timing was totally off and she only checked on us twice (over an hour and a half). ALL of our coffee refills were done through the next sections waiter because we could never find her. But that to me is not the worst part. The worst part was that all four of us ordered four different dishes and the salt level in every single one was astronomical. My father didn't eat half his meal (which was never commented on by the waitstaff) and my mother only ate a 1/4 of hers (also not commented on), I ate more then half of mine and my Grandpa ate his whole thing (because he can't taste much anymore). But I tried everyone's dish and my mother's in particular was so salty that I drank nearly a half cup of coffee just to wash the taste out of my mouth. I don't know who is responsible in the kitchen for that mess but it was atrocious. There is absolutely no way that someone could not notice how much salt was being put on those dishes. Which to me means that no one in the kitchen is tasting what they make, and no one is experienced enough to season dishes properly. With only one dish being messed up a person could say it's an accident. But all four? That speaks to a systematic issue. Please, management of this establishment, fix your salt issue! It's disgusting! read more

We stopped in while visiting from California. The breakfast was amazing! I loved that I was able to get a fresh kale juice and the special was chilaquilas, which was amazing. My daughters got chocolate chip pancakes that were bigger then their heads, which they amazingly finished. Highly recommended this place read more

I had the eggs benedict and they were a delight. Our waitress was alright, she seemed like a nice person at first but then she said she would get us more coffee and she never came back, so that just shows the type of person she is. read more

After several attempts at giving them the benefit of the doubt we have been disappointed. We ordered the bubba's Benny and the description was completely wrong. it said it came with homemade buiscuts and sausage and eggs topped with turkey sausage gravy. that was not homemade and there was no sausage and the sausage gravy was hollandaise sauce. This was not as advertised at all and i will never go here again! read more

BEWARE! This location does not offer any Gluten Free options! Even though the website specifies several options - this location has nothing to offer. Went there with my family and the only food that was available to me was bacon and a fruit cup. If you are seeking gluten free food or have Celiac disease you should bring your own food or just DON'T GO! On top of not having anything to offer, I asked if they could cook an egg for me that was safe (gluten, dairy & soy free) and the server shrugged saying that all egg selections included gluten - which is ridiculous because they could have easily poached an egg (egg in boiled water) if they really wanted to. The overall impression I got was that they didn't care. What a slap in the face to a person with celiac who was just trying to have a fun breakfast meal with her family. STAY AT HOME OR GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

The Solon First Watch, OK, but the Fairlawn restaurant head and shoulders over this one.

I came here for brunch with my parents and it was a very enjoyable experience. I really liked this cool little breakfast place and will definitely be coming back! It was really delicious with a ton of healthy options! In a world filled with chain breakfast places, this is really a shining star and a great place to start the morning. Our waitress was wonderful, she even pointed out a better bang for our buck option on the menu we had overlooked. I highly recommend this place! read more

Good breakfast selections. The employees are super friendly, a nice place to come in the morning. They need to work on the coffee though, a bit chewy. read more

This was my first ever FirstWatch experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my food. I love that they focus on healthy and organic food options. The only down side was the lack of friendliness from our server. His demeanor made it seem like we were keeping him from doing something better, as if we were inconveniencing him. Luckily the other staff members were friendly and welcoming. read more

Good fresh healthy food, fast friendly service. Will eat here every time I'm in town.

I have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. My boyfriend and I frequent the Solon first watch a couple times a month on Saturday or Sunday mornings. They have such a great menu with great healthy options! Never had a bad meal! The price is great as well, you really get your money's worth. read more

Food was good. I had a grilled roast beef sandwich and tomato soup. Sandwich was good except for the cheese on it wasn't melted at all. Soup was excellent. read more

I have been to First Watch several times for lunch. Their menu has options for differents tastes. The entrees are delicious and reasonably priced! The waiters are very friendly and the decor is simple but pretty. read more

It was like having sex, but without all of the tears afterwards. The bacon was next level good!everyone is nice! Saw someone I knew, so that was awkward. So yeah, 10/10 would definitely eat my problems away there again. read more

In the past the food and service was good. Last couple of times, the service has been poor and really slow. I'm not sure if new management has taken over or what, but it's been disappointing. read more

Out of all of the FirstWatch restaurants I've visited across the country, this had by far the best service and atmosphere. The very friendly staff helped accommodate our family's needs, since we were with our two children. The food was mouth watering, and very fresh! Can't say enough good things. If you choose not to try this place out, your loss, for sure! read more

This shit so good took my little bros we going back next week! Man if you like breakfast like me you'll be completely satisfied with the food they have here, I leave full every time read more

My husband took me to the one on Solon, OH. This is now my favorite breakfast restaurant. The pancakes with the lemon glaze is the best pancakes I have ever had and I am over 50. The maple bacon is also great. I go once every two weeks read more

Great place for breakfast! The staff is wonderful, they are always so friendly and courteous. The food is delicious, I recommend the Bacado, it is the best! That being said, nothing on their menu disappoints. This location is a bit far from me but I go out there a few times a month to meet up with friends and it is our favorite place to meet for brunch. We always talk about other places but end up at First Watch because nothing compares. read more

New manager is great! Place is clean and the service greatly improved. Will return again soon.

Great for novel, lean eating options. Definitely going to make this my lunchtime dining choice when I want to eat healthy.

Tomato soup was good. Sandwhich was good however I wouldve like more pesto and less mayo so now I know for next time. Waitress knew when to check on us and when to leave us alone. read more

This was my first time at First Watch and can easily say I would go back. A friend brought me here while I was in town for the weekend and I only wish there was one closer to me. Even for being very busy, the two of us were seated very quickly. The servers were friendly and informative and the atmosphere was all around good. I ordered two of the specials, neither of which I can remember the names. The juice I ordered was an orange, carrot, and ginger blend and was so refreshing I was tempted to order another to go. The meal I ordered was the crab cake Benedict which was a hearty amount of crab on thick toast with eggs Benedict on top served with a fresh arugula salad topped with lemon juice. My friend ordered the yogurt parfait and muffin which she said she loved. Over all, the restaurant was cute and fresh, the food delicious, and the service good. I would definitely go back. read more

Constantly serving delicious healthy fresh food. Best breakfast in town. Good coffee and great kale tonics! I recommend the Parma hash... I get it every time we eat breakfast here. The avocado toast is a great summer dish. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is always clean. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff is very friendly and food is great. I love love love the lemon ricotta pancakes. Even my picky eater son will eat them!!! I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a friendly atmosphere and great food!!!!! read more

Best service ever!!! Clean restaurant, staff was friendly ! I got the lemon pancakes , amazing! Will definitely be back !!!

This is my kind of restaurant. From the full pitcher of water with lemon slices to the end of the meal. I had the smoked salmon special, it was excellent. The dressed greens were so good. Just plain greens with dressing and it was so good. The price was very reasonable. read more

We just finished our brunch at First Watch and we will definitely be back. My husband had the Forager Omlette (which I tasted) and it was delicious. I had the traditional breakfast. The potatoes were well seasoned and tasty, there was enough bacon to share with my husband and get my fill, and the raspberry spread was the best I've ever tasted. We found our new breakfast spot! read more

I really appreciate the gluten free accommodations available for breakfast. The GF listings are, however, only available on-line, so you need to check before going or use their free wi-fi while there to order. The manager, Jacob, is very knowledgeable about GF issues regarding food AND the all important avoidance of cross contamination. The wait staff is always pleasant and helpful in checking with the kitchen staff on any GF questions I have. I've dined at First Watch Solon during light and very busy weekend mornings and have always had efficient, correct and polite service. David, Nathan and Missy are unfailing cheerful, professional and competent, They are all a terrific assets to Jacob's team! read more

Had a great breakfast at Florence, KY location. Not so in Solon. The place was a little dirty, there was a very dirty glass at my place setting, much of our food arrived cold, eggs were overcooked to dryness, and the cashier barely acknowledged us as she chatted with a friend. The menu is excellent and the food could be very good, but MANAGEMENT needs work. read more

I agree with Maggie R....this is nothing special....the prices are too high for what you get....

Consistently good breakfast food. Prices are average, and service is generally very good. Usually crowded on the weekends. They serve breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is all-day, but they're only open until 2:30pm. read more

Great food I had the chorizo omelet, service was fantastic, the only down I would say is the atmosphere is a little sterile, at least when we were there but could've just been the time of the day, Great food read more

I literally just walked out. 10 minutes after we were sat a server still had not greeted us to take our drink order. The cook happened to walk by and ask if we had been helped yet and if he could get our drinks. We asked for our drinks and then I watched him as he went to the back to start cooking again... Never bringing our drinks. No server stopped to say they would be with us in a minute. I watched as they all sauntered around with no sense of urgency. After time had passed I realized no one was in any hurry to help us. I was on my lunch break at noon and had no time to wait. So, we walked out.... Which saddens me because I was really looking forward to it. read more
