This was my first visit to this First Watch location. Arrived around 1pm on Friday for lunch with about a 10 minute wait. Service was mid. Sat for a few minutes before our server checked in and got our drink order. Once drinks arrived it took a little longer for them to come back and take our food order. Not particularly friendly or attentive, just came back once to see how the food was. I guess all of this to say service wasn't good or bad, but it took a long time for Friday lunch visit--I wouldn't want to come during work because one might not get in and out on time. Food and drinks were good. Tasted my mom's ham & gruyère sandwich and tomato basil soup, both delicious. Sampled her Morning Meditation juice and I liked that as well. I had the Purple Haze tea which I loved. I ate the Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl which was alright but it was lighter on the kale (quite literally two little pieces) than I would have liked. The restaurant was loud and very full. The seating feels kind of awkward and tight. Walking to the bathroom felt precarious. Not only was I brushing into people's winter jackets and bags hanging from their chairs, but the floor in the restaurant was greasy and slippery. read more

First Watch is my new favorite restaurant in my hometown of Canton. We "got in line" on line and only waited 5 minutes or so when we arrived. Courtney was attentive and courteous. We ordered The Trifecta and the Parma Skillet Hash. The portions were just right and the food was delicious!! The environment was inviting and clean. We will absolutely make this a regular stop when we are in town. read more

Got here at 11:40 and we had to wait 40 minutes just to sit down. Not sure if that's normal or not for breakfast places like this or not. Food was mid. Got to tri-fecta, sausage was good, eggs weren't too good, pancakes were not good (might just be because it's a multigrain bread) but eggs and pancake were cold. I think it's very overpriced too. The atmosphere is very nice though, the employees are very nice too. read more

The food came out in a timely manner. Service was excellent, never needed to ask for anything. Service was punctual and efficient. Great experience. Thank you for the meal. read more

Today I went to first watch for breakfast. We had a reservation before we entered, and when we came in, they had told us that we were next, but then they had three other groups go before us before we were taken to our table. I got bacon and toast, I liked the bacon it was really good, but I didn't really like the toast. The service was okay, there was nothing wrong about it. That was my experience at first watch. read more

I recently had breakfast at First Watch. We were immediately seated and ordered coffee. I do recommend the coffee but it is pricey at almost $4. I ordered the Avacado Toast which comes with 2 eggs which I ordered over easy. I also ordered a side order of toast. The Avacado Toast was good but did not have as much Avacado as some of the pictures on Yelp. The eggs were good and the toast was good with a heavy grain texture, The service was great. read more

Was going to eat there on 12-7-2025 around 11:45 am, they already had a 30 minute wait time, I heard they have great food, haven't tried it yet, I'll try again. read more

Very friendly and knowledgable people and specially the manager! They had everything I asked for, even a wine that I rarely find

Again breakfast is hard to mess up. We had a basic breakfast and enjoyed it. I am sure lunch is much more exciting. Nice interior and the waitstaff was promp and very helpful. We will go back. read more

My first time eating here. I have to say the omelet I had was fresh and delicious. I would recommend this place for breakfast.

Everything was absolutely perfect. They go above and beyond! My BF and I get our own entrees and then split one as well

We had a great breakfast with super good service. Great menu options from the routine offerings elsewhere.

First of all, I would check the wait-time on their website and get on that waitlist so you're not spending too much time in your car before they text you that your table is ready. I've been there when the wait is an hour and another time when I was seated right away. I really do enjoy their food and cocktails there. I had the Pomegranate Sunrise which is tequila, pomegranate, fresh lime, and agave nectar and it was amazing. My boyfriend drank the Morning Glory which had vodka, orange, lemon, turmeric, ginger and agave nectar. If you like turmeric and ginger, then Morning Glory is for you! To eat we both got the Carnitas Burrito and it was delicious. It had carnitas (obviously), potatoes, eggs, cheese, beans, and avocado wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla and smothered in tomatillo sauce. They have a fairly large menu but I do try to get their limited time specials! read more

Too expensive, too crowded, waiter too weird, lol. But if you're traveling and need something besides donuts or McDonald's for breakfast one day out of five, it's probably a good bet. Oh, it smells like garbage truck juice out on the patio. : ( Boo. read more

I came IN PERSON and checked in, was told it would be a half hour. I waited, in a half hour I was told IN PERSON I was 6th in line because of people checking in online. My party and I went somewhere else!! I won't ever try first watch again. read more

Excellent food and excellent service Absolutely no complaints The place is just adorable We had the pressed juice(kale, and morning )which was as good as the frittata read more

Meh. Very average experience here. My food was lukewarm at best. Pricey. Not great big portions. Crowded with terrible acoustics. It was way too loud in the restaurant and I couldn't hear myself think. There are better places for breakfast. And I don't like how they feel the need to make the bacon so sweet. I don't like that flourish. That said, the server was nice and the coffee was decent. I won't likely make it a priority to dine here. read more

Our server I believe her name was Reagan maybe not spelled like that was wonderful! Very cheery and pleasant and smiling! We will definitely be back! read more

First Watch is the best breakfast place no matter which location. The food is different than most places and they always have great specials. The food is always fantastic and fresh. I've never had anything less than excellent service. It's one of my favorite chains. read more

While First Watch may be a chain restaurant it absolutely does not feel like one! When you walk in for breakfast you not only get your own pot of coffee, there is also complimentary WiFi and (my favorite) a free newspaper! It's a lovely laid back vibe where you don't feel rushed to get in and get out so they can seat more people. So let's chat food... it's all delicious. They take bacon very seriously and I love that about them. It's always perfectly prepared. Their seasoned breakfast potatoes are super yummy as is their homemade toast. It's the perfect classic breakfast. So my friends and I have a thing... it's called the table cake. I highly recommend you try this - it's straight pancakes for the table to share. First Watch has amazing pancakes and they're huge, so order the table cake - you won't regret it! read more

While nothing was truly horrible I am giving it one star because I can not believe it has 4. The food was not good. The menu is weird. The chicken patty sausage tasted like dog food, the eggs were overcooked and it was very expensive for what we got. There are way better places to go. They have a limited menu and no white bread for toast which to me is weird. The service was probably the best I have had in a while but I did not like anything else about this place. We will not return ever. read more

Our server, Desaray, was right there when we were seated, offering water and coffee. She was smiling, pleasant, and efficient. They have an extensive and interesting menu, with summer specials. I took advantage of the new Honey Crunch iced coffee- delicious! So big I asked for a to-go cup before leaving. The classic eggs Benedict was wonderful, but the side greens could have used dressing. Hubby's Breakfast tacos w/ potatoes "were excellent ". read more

The food is good, although they took my favorite item off the menu, which was the muffin top pancake. I returned for lemon ricotta pancakes which are good. Unfortunately, due to the long wait times, it is not feasible to go here anymore. Call ahead seating wasn't exactly useful as our actual wait time was longer than the predicted wait time. Then when we did get seated, we waited for a very long time- over 30 minutes for our food. The wait time makes the service poor, unfortunately. So, if you have a lot of time and don't mind the wait and you are aren't actually hungry, this place is acceptable. read more

That's the only place I would eat breakfast there. Everything is fresh and very good service. Also, a very good nice people my husband and I go there. read more

Really good breakfast. Polite servers clean place and the food was great. Would go again if I get back to Canton.

Food was very good and fresh. Restaurant was brand new and comfortable seating. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I plan to eat there again. read more

Outstanding breakfast in Canton. After learning it was a large chain we were very surprised at their attention to using locally sourced foods. read more

Sitting area outside entrance had trash lying around and ripped chair cushions. Host seemed either exhausted or bored. Very average food. Potatoes were undercooked. Avocados were underripe. Ham and gruyere omelet was very bland and lacked flavor. Power wrap breakfast also underwhelming. It gets one star for my daughters' Belgian waffles and chocolate chip pancakes, which were reported to be great-- and the food came out quickly. Breakfast for five was $72- way overpriced for the quality. I saw one of these in eastern Indiana and was excited to visit. That one had a long wait and looked pretty vibrant inside. This one-- not so much. read more

We're done trying here. For some reason, the kitchen just can't get it right, expediter can't get it right and nobody cares that it's wrong. We love First Watch elsewhere, but in our home town, they miss and miss again. Maybe we'll try back in several months in hopes they control the problems. read more

Safety is top of mind here. The place was full when we went in. The hostess asked for a name and cell phone number so she could contact us when the table was ready. She made it clear that we had to either wait outside or in our car. We were contacted soon enough and The server was immediately available to bring drinks and take our order. I drank an absolutely delicious Bloody Mary and enjoyed the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. Others ordered the classic eggs Benedict and the omelette with ham and Gruyere cheese. My friends ordered orange juice stating that that First Watch has the best orange juice ever! read more

I really like this place! We tried both delivery and inside dining. They have vegetarian options and they are eager to submit the meat with no issues on some of the meals. Definitely recommend the market omelette! This one is really tasty! I tried also the power wrap without the turkey And I really liked it! The tacos are apparently really good too, as my friends are always ordering those. read more

It was great! Drinks were amazing I had brioche French toast which was great! Ashley was super friendly and down to earth. They were also super safe and clean. read more

Every thing on the menu is great impossible to get a bad meal Must try the million dollar bacon Lyndsay is the best most personal waitress read more

Quality food but pricey. Service is good and coffee is above average. Trendy but comfortable atmosphere. I go here every now and then as a treat. read more

I'm not much for chain restaurant food, but when you're hungry for breakfast, sometimes the closest choice is the best choice. First Watch was just 2 blocks from our Canton hotel, and the ability to join the waiting list from my phone was the clincher. By the time we got to First Watch, our name had already come up on the waiting list. We chose a table outside. A server arrived with coffee, water, and menus and we ordered within minutes. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but my lemon ricotta pancakes were awesome. There are not a lot of breakfast choices in North Canton, but in the Belden Village area, First Watch is probably the best. read more

Food is decent, but wait and service times are completely unacceptable. Waited 1 hour to be seated, then another 35 minutes for our order . Turns a Sunday brunch into a pain In the a** waiting game. Overall is the food is simply not good enough to justify the wait and the poor service. And what is the deal with cold toast read more

Ask for Liz.she was nice to talk to. Checked in a lot on us. I would ask for Liz the next time too because maybe it will be just as enjoyable next time read more

Always hits, no matter the location. Food is good, reasonably priced and a wide variety. Drink options are nice too. Kids always try something new. Wait is never bad either. It's a chain, which I normally try to avoid, especially when we travel, but it's consistently good while changing up menu options. read more
