First Watch was good! I ordered the Avocado Toast, which came as one slice of toast cut in half with two eggs. It tasted fresh, but I did feel it was a bit pricey (around $13-$14) considering there weren't any extra toppings or sides included. I also tried the biscuits and gravy, the biscuit was super light and fluffy, absolutely delicious. The gravy, however, was a little too peppery for my taste, though I know a lot of people enjoy that flavor profile. The wait was surprisingly quick. I checked in through the app, and by the time I officially checked in at the restaurant, I was 6th in line. Within about five minutes, my table was ready, which was great. Our waitress was fine, nothing outstanding, but no complaints either. I would come back!

Real maple syrup

Cute breakfast chain with several options including special menu items that rotate. We shared the carne asada breakfast tacos (seasonal special), biscuits and gravy meal made with turkey sausage, and the Belgian waffle. Everything was delicious! They do have real maple syrup available (for an extra cost). We both ordered coffee so they left a carafe at our table, which is nice when wanting a refill. I wish the chain would offer more gf options like many of the other breakfast places (that aren't just eggs) and that they wouldn't charge extra for real syrup. Service at this location was great!

First Watch never disappoints. Even though it's a chain, its food is consistent and good. Good service, excellent food and love the ambiance of this location. They offer dining inside, on an enclose patio or outside if you choose. It's great if you have a pet. You can enter and exit from the outside patio. We had the traditional breakfast and it was excellent. Lots of food for the value. Looking for breakfast or lunch, this is your spot.

I've been to First Watch on 3 different occasions. It's not a bad place to get breakfast, but after multiple trips here I don't really find it to be all that special. The menu has some good stuff but the portions don't always justify some of the prices. The staff and dining area have always been consistently good. Even this healthy breakfast option that included egg whites, sauteed veggies and some tomato slices didn't really satisfy or feel special in any way. This place does sweet dishes far better than savory ones in my opinion.

Ordered take out got the chips pudding that come with almond butter toast and got a side of turkey sausage. The toast was hard dry and cold and the turkey sausage was also cold. The chia pudding was ok.

Farmhouse skillet hash
Cibi A.

Visited on Christmas eve as a group of 11. We were given our own room with a long table. Our server was organized and the thorough. The farmhouse skillet hash has everything you could want for breakfast - eggs, bacon, potatoes, cheese, toast etc. nothing tasted overly seasoned or oily. Great addition to city, I hope it stays!

Order

I decided to order breakfast from first watch. I had been there before. They usually have a good breakfast. I went to pick up the order. I asked the girl if everything was there and she said yes. I got home and half the items were not in the bag. I went back and tried to explain that they had left out half the order. They were very rude and refused to make the rest of the order. Please don't order carry out. I was ripped off.

belgian waffle and trifecta

This is the perfect brunch spot! Their food is always so eye catching and very tasty. Their service is excellent but this place can get really busy. Well maintained and clean.

Brought in a group of 8 for brunch. Place was busy so I asked about wait times. The first hostess…read morewas nice and told me we could split up to two groups of 4 and take two table tops that they had already open and get seated right away. After some time of waiting, they continued seating multiple groups that came in after us taking the tables of 4 that were available. They even seated the couple behind us in line at a 4 person table. I asked the hostess about my group and if I should take them elsewhere as they kept seating people behind us in line. She responded and said "it will be more time for your group. Looking to get tables close to each other". I told her that the reason why we stuck around was to get seated and was fine with splitting, as already discussed. Another table got sat ahead of us shortly after this conversation happened. My group instantly felt disrespected and not welcomed - which led to our group unanimously voting to leave. Unfortunate experience. Maybe just caught them on a bad day.

My husband and I just ordered the blueberry pancakes because you get three huge ones and order of sausage which was another four. He also wanted eggs and it was all delicious and perfect. The blueberries are inside the pancakes where they should be and they added some on top. Also, loose fresh blueberries. And you know pancakes are good when you can just use butter and no syrup.! I do that at first but later use a little syrup to top it off. We loved "Jonny cakes"and we highly recommend it.

We started with the mac and cheese balls. Small portion of six and they were bland unless you dunked it into the sauce. Where was the pepperjack? Not bad but not what we were expecting. Dinner itself was fabulous. My husband loved his shrimp tacos. Generous with both protein and toppings. I went with the Ahi tuna California bowl. Huge bowl full of rice, crisp fresh veggies, creamy avocado and a solid portion of perfectly seared tuna. I loved both the sauces and mixing and matching each bite. The halved cherry tomatoes, shedded carrot and crunchy cucumbers really provided that textural contrast and colorful appeal. Yum. Service was fast, accurate and friendly. Atmosphere was very sports bar still but airier and brighter somehow. Plenty of TVs with the Masters on though. We took a prime rib dip sandwich to my dad and a cobb salad to my mom and they were equally delighted. My husbands already thinking about which app we'll try next time. We will be back soon.

Great classic rock music playing! The menu was really extensive for lunch, as they offered both the regular menu and lunch specials! Something for everyone! The table ordered Cali Club Panini and sweet potato fries , two Maurice Saiads, and a Reuben with kettle chips. We felt all of the lunch portions were VERY generous and VERY delicious! The Maurice salad guests liked the chopped lettuce and clever pinwheels (order and you'll see!). Wait staff was very attentive. Prices reasonable. All guests at the table were happy to have another place to go that was not adding yet another bottom line fee to the bill. Just food, drink, tax - and add your tip! Great place - take the time and go. Get off Ford road and the (yawn) chain restaurant row and find this one on Warren near Sheldon. The Canton residents at lunch plan to come back for the Sunday brunch advertised at the hostess stand. Great job, Local Tavern. Cheers!

Unfortunately both my soup and the spinach artichoke dip appetizer were only lukewarm at best. Very busy that night so probably the kitchen was busy . Love that they extended happy hour throughout the whole restaurant. It is actually a very good deal and a great idea to make it available everywhere. Now the only big negative that night . The live music was far too loud as others have indicated. We are going there to enjoy dinner , the primary purpose . Live Music is nice, but it should be in the background not like you're in the front row of a rock concert. Other nights it was not this loud, so hopefully it was the exception . Not a trend .

There was no question, I would see my friend. We had selected Chicane earlier, eager to try the new restaurant in a familiar setting, by the train tracks on Starkweather. This location was formerly Station 885, a restaurant my friend and I visited years earlier, when a toy train ran along tracks around the perimeter, delighting her young daughter. We arrived early, scoring a great table with a view of the large bar, lounge, and stage. The restaurant is glamorous, with gorgeous lighting and attractive furnishings. Musicians entertained the eager and appreciative audience. There are so few places that provide this level of entertainment and hospitality. I had already previewed the menu and was anticipating the meal ahead. The duck sounded amazing and is almost always my first choice. However, the short ribs were tempting, as were the scallops in a coconut curry broth. I went with my first instinct, the duck, paired with a French Onion soup. The medium-rare duck breast was perfectly prepared; I liked the sweet potato puree and slaw accompaniments. Incidentally, the portion was huge. My friend enjoyed her braised short rib, which was on the 2-course supper menu, available before 6pm. For dessert, I went with the chocolate cube. Unfortunately, I didn't even see the banana parfait, which was mentioned in several of the reviews here. Oh, well, I was content. The dessert had a bold, intense chocolate flavor, which paired well with the ice cream's more subtle flavors. I also appreciated the different textures on the plate. Service was fantastic: professional and helpful. Unfortunately, my car died during the cold, and TripleA was unable to help, given the number of people/vehicles in a similar situation. The restaurant staff went above and beyond to find someone (the Executive Chef, who was in the middle of service) to provide a jump; I am so grateful for the gracious hospitality.
