Love the open atmosphere here. The food was high quality and just the right amount. Service was excellent and efficient. It was quite busy for a brunch on a Thursday morning, just goes to show how popular they are! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

My friend and I went to First Watch at Crocker Park for a late breakfast. Got seated quickly but service was very slow. I ordered the Frittata Rustica. Very small for an omelette and it was heavily salted which ruined it. The mixed greens had no dressing that I could taste. The toast was tasteless. The waiter never came back to see if we liked our meal. I was so hungry and waited so long for it I just went ahead and ate most of it. However, the cashier asked how I liked my meal and I told her. She took 20 percent off which was kind. I will not be back. For $12 plus tip definitely not worth it. I typically eat at Goldies in Strongsville if I go out for breakfast. 100 times better and cheaper. read more

First Watch is a lot of fun, but it's always SOOOO busy. I guess that's a testament to the good food and great service. Impressive selection of healthy and vegetarian choices. Never had a bad meal. read more

My 5 year old and I stopped in for a late breakfast on the Tuesday after Christmas. We had to wait to be seated but that was fine. The host saw that I was with an antsy little one and did his best to get us in. The waitress took our order right away and even brought my son some fruit because the kitchen was a little backed up. It just being my son and I, I appreciate the extra effort. Our food was great and I even got a coffee to go. Thanks for a great breakfast and time with my son! read more

Contemporary, healthy looking food. Went with eggs benedict florentine, presentation exception, eggs cooked well. coffee is good, tried out the healthy meditation drink, but have mixed reservations about value at $4.00 price. The parking situation is hard to understand, but they have meters and parking deck. The location itself is part of a new complex loaded with apartments and stores. read more

The food is consistent good no matter which location you go to. This one is no exception. I love the Kale tonic and breakfast options that you can get anytime. Service was good and restaurant clean. read more

Initially, the restaurant has a very hipster/country vibe. Their interior is made up of metal and locally recycled wood. Their menu is very extensive. I only browsed the breakfast menu but they have everything from simple to things you wouldn't think of putting together. I opted for one of the eggs Benedict. It's was great but the meat on it was more overpowering than the hollandaise sauce. The girlfriend has avocado toast and it was amazing. It came with huge chunks of avacado and was seasoned perfectly on thick break. This is a great addition to Toledo. read more

First Watch - Avocado toast and eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

I've been to First Watch several times. They always have wonderful service & amazing food! I highly recommend.

Hipster hangout with overpriced fancy breakfasts. My wife loves the avocado toast which looks delicious, but under performs in my opinion. I have tried both the BLT eggs benedict and the biscuits and turkey sausage gravy. Both left me desiring a real breakfast. The breakfast potatoes are gross and the eggs were laughably small (organic) The orange juice is even weird and the coffee is disappointing. I hate giving one star because the service was at least good, but next time I want breakfast, I'll go to a place where I can get bacon and eggs with some hashbrowns and escape under $20 for people. This set me back over $60 for 4 of us including 2 kids. For shame. read more

This place is always sooo busy, good for them printing money and all... No wonder, they have got it worked out, fast, friendly and efficient. Place is modern inside and the menu has a vast selection. I'm pretty simple, traditional breakfast, coffee and OJ. Coffee is great, eggs cooked right. Not big on paying at the front door but it adds to the speed at the table. I am more of a mom and pop breakfast connoisseur but you have to give the devil his due... read more

Suburbia in a restaurant! Yes, FIrstWatch is 100% suburbia. Oh it makes me long to quickly return home to Chicago. Don't get me wrong, this is a nice restaurant, an excellent concept, a place dedicated to breakfast. But it ain't spectacular. The best thing about breakfast was this super-hot girl who could pass for sexy at any age, though I am guessing she was in her late forties...but seriously, she was pretty incredible. Sorry to digress... but there's a point to be made. She was the most memorable part of the experience, and I like food! The food here is good. It's worth going to eat here. It's normal good breakfast food, but nothing more. The omelets are prepared well, and there's a wide variety of them to chose from. The eggs benedict are alright, but one can tell they are prepared en masse. The coffee is good, I admit, for a restaurant. This is an excellent idea I wish other restaurants would adopt. I'd rather loose the points of service pouring my own coffee, than constantly flagging down a server. I like how they just give the table a pot so that one is not constantly flagging down a server. The service is excellent, and their lunch items did look enticing. This is nothing out of the ordinary, and I like coming here. I recommend it. Remember, it is average, incredible average, but average ain't bad. Average is underrated. Have an average day!!!! (There's nothing wrong with an average day.) read more

Service and Food were great, albeit a little pricey for breakfast. Million Dollar Bacon app was a nice starter... full disclosure that was only like 5 bucks... read more

I came here at 11 am on a Wednesday and was delightfully surprised! I live around the corner so I have been here before. I stopped coming here on the weekends because the wait is normally outrageous, but I learned today that it's a pleasant experience on weekdays! My order: I got "The Traditional". - Two Eggs over easy: These were done perfectly. They were still hot, which is much appreciated. Nothing is worse than cold eggs over easy. - Seasoned Potatoes: These were good. I usually like my breakfast potatoes on the more well done side. These were less crispy than I would have ideally liked, but they still had some crispy edges. So I enjoyed them. - Whole grain "artisan" toast: I laughed at the menu when it said "artisan" toast, being that this is a huge chain. But it really did not disappoint. The bread really elevated it from a normal, boring breakfast to a more delicious experience! Even if you don't like whole grain, I recommend this bread. Tasty. - Fruit: This is not part of "The Traditional", which normally comes with some type of meat. Our waitress was great and when I said "no meat", she offered this up instead. It was some melon, watermelon and pineapple. All fresh cut. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience! I don't drink coffee or anything like that, so I think my meal was 8-10$. Not that bad for a breakfast. I will definitely return! There's nothing super unique about it but it was clean, bright, and the food was solid! I will only come on weekdays though when it is a stress-free ambiance. I also wouldn't wait more than 10/15 minutes to eat here, but I'll come back. read more

This is a great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot and better than some of the other FW locations I've visited. The service is friendly and fast and the food is always delicious. My fave is the pesto chicken quinoa bowl. Very flavorful and filling, yet still fairly healthy. read more

I've only been for breakfast, but it's mine and my husbands go to on weekday mornings off. The food is really great.. and we've tried quite a bit off the morning menu. Staff is friendly and quick service! We've tried to go on a weekend with 1.5+ hour waits. So we try to avoid that. read more

This is probably my favorite brunch spot in the Cleveland area. The menu has an abundance of options. The food customer service is excellent! I also like their waitlist they take your phone number and shoot you a text when you table is ready.

I would have taken a picture of my meal but I ate it so quickly! It never ceases to amaze me the quality of food you get here for the cost. Belgian waffle fluffy and amazing as always. Had the million dollar bacon which is a favorite of my husband and I's. Tried it dipped in berry compote today (came with the waffle) and my mind was blooownnn!! So so good. Ashley was my server, and she was so incredibly sweet and attentive. THANK YOU ASHLEY! And compliments to the kitchen for always having such consistency of quality :) read more

What a fun find off the toll road. Food was fantastic, healthy and service was great!

hadn't been in a while so took my wife & step daughter Friday morning. Got seated right away and then took about 20 minutes for someone to ask if we wanted coffee. coffee pot provided was nice but only half full for the 3 of us. Never saw the waitress again for another 15 minutes to finally take our order. food showed up literally another 25 + minutes later so at this point it had been nearly an hour after being seated. Something to be said that there are many people filling the tables, but in my opinion very slow service, and the food is good but not great (portions are on the small size ) and while I didn't mind the price, some may think you don't get what you pay for, Just be prepared to spend half your morning there. You may enjoy that but not all will. read more

Went here for the first time with a friend and loved the food! I ordered the chickichanga for breakfast and was quite satisfied since I wanted a Mexican type of breakfast. The service was good and the place kind of reminded me of IHop but I would give it a 4 stars because the waitress made me feel like she was rushing me to leave after she served me my food and handed me the check so quickly... read more

Love this place! My husband and I love to brunch here. Great customer service & food is always fresh!

I loved my first experience at First Watch! As someone trying to eat a more nutrient filled/balanced diet... First Watch is perfect. I ordered an egg white omelet with spinach, tomatoes, and feta. My fiancé ordered biscuit and turkey gravy with eggs. Can't go wrong here; the entire menu is pretty healthy. Went on a Friday morning and was in and out in about 30 or 35 minutes. Service was wonderful! I'll be back! read more

First Watch - Bacado omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

This is a chain that I've been to in various different locations. This was my first visit to the Westlake First Watch. Atmosphere: This location is located in Crocker park. The interior is pleasant enough. It didn't feel too chaotic like some busy breakfasts spot end up being. Service: My service was very pleasant. The check came in a good amount of time, the cashier was pleasant as well. Food: I ordered scrambled egg whites with avocado slices and hash browns with cheese. The food was okay, nothing stood out but nothing was bad. Nothing really more to report. I would eat here again, but I wish they offered gluten free bread. read more

I normally would give 5 stars, but the last couple visits I feel they have been slacking. The little bit of fruit I received was dry. I waited for our waitress to bring more coffee after drinking a cup and she never came around with more. read more

A great place for healthy eats. that being said the Million Dollar Bacon is to die for :)

They told us our table would be ready at 11:25 and we are still sitting here waiting, it has almost been an hour. they keep putting people ahead of us with the same amount of people in their party. all I know is if I'm paying a good amount of money to come dine here I expect nice people we had also called yesterday and the lady was rude on the phone. If I wait over an hour for my food I'm going to be DISAPPOINTED. read more

I go to First Watch Restaurants quite often in Arizona and always get great food and service. This morning's food was very good, as expected. However, our server, Lori, was quite rude and unpleasant to work with. Lori should not be in a customer facing role. Everyone else seemed fine and quite pleasant. read more

This is my first time going to First Watch and I would say overall it was a good experience and would go there again for breakfast. The Wait: I went on a Friday at about 9-10 am and we waited about 15 mins to be seated. The waiting area had plenty of room with benches and had some comfortable lounge chairs. They had complimentary coffee available, which adds a nice touch. By the time we left around 10:30am the wait was probably closer to 30-45 mins. I would highly recommend downloading the NoWait app and check-in before you get there. There were people who got seated before us and showed up after us that used that app to check-in. Service: No complaints about the staff. Didn't bother you but made sure you were happy. The food wait time was average for a breakfast/ lunch joint (5-10 mins after ordering) Food and Beverage: The coffee was average at best, but the food made up for the sub par coffee. I got the Breakfast Scrambler which was excellent. The one thing I noticed about this place compared to other breakfast places is that everything seemed a little extra healthy. The eggs and potatoes were not dripping in butter and oil. There was fruit cup as a side with just about everything. Even the ketchup they served was non- high fructose corn syrup. Portion Size: I have no complaints about the portion sizes because I was full when I left and ate everything. As a comparison to other diners and restaurants, the portion size is far below average; but who eats left over breakfast food... Price: 2 people is probably going to almost always be around $25; food, drink and tip. Things are slightly on the higher end for breakfast food but I would say that the quality of the food I worth the slightly inflated price. Accessibility: This First Watch is in Crocker Park so you will have to park in a parking garage and walk some. They take your phone number and text you when your table is ready so you can stroll around Crocker if the wait is long (which it almost always is during the weekend). Like I mentioned before, get the NoWait app and check-in through that and save lots of time. Cleanliness: Our table was clean and not sticky. We did not smell like we just walked out of a diner when we left. Overall a well kept restaurant. Summary: High quality food, good service, below average parking accessibility, and reasonably priced for the quality of food. I recommend this restaurant to you and I will be going again. read more
