Back before COVID-19 I did a lot of traveling for my job so I've ate at a lot of restaurants and had many waiters and waitresses but Lisa was one of my top five most favorite. Not only was she very polite and proper but she was always on her game and very accommodating. Lisa if you see this you did an amazing job and I can't wait to come back. read more

First visit and we loved it! Although it was a long wait due to short staff (40 minutes). I appreciated that they were restricting the amount of tables to ensure the staff was not overwhelmed and that the guests were treated well. Good was great! I had the classic Benedict. My husband had the salmon frittata, and the kids shared the chocolate chip pancake. Next time I'll order two of the kids pancakes because it wasn't as much of a portion as we see with other kids breakfast items from other restaurants. But none the less it was tasty. Great quality, presentation, and taste with everything! read more

Possibly the worst experience I've had a first watch. The table we were sat at was sticky and the floor had smushed strawberries and bananas. After asking for our area to be cleaned. We had to ask for new glasses of water 3 times then gave up because every single one was dirty. After that introduction I was weary of the cleanliness of the food considering they can't even wash a glass correctly. The only reason this review is a two star and not a one star is because of the food I ordered. French toast with mixed fruit and a berry compote read more

First Watch - French toast with mixed fruit and berry compote - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Nice atmosphere,mediocre food, horribly run. Let me start with the waitlist doesn't work. The hostess doesn't know how to run it. We waited 2 hrs to get seated on a Sat. When she sat us down finally after multiple times of us going in and checking.. she said ' oh sorry, i thought there were 5 of you, not 2'... it's kinda your job though... Next, the patio seating although tables are available stops seating ppl at 1pm in case you want to sit outside. Finally we get at the coveted table and then she just wipes down the crumbs off the table with her hand... no rug, no spray.. trash everywhere on the table.. i mean just really puts you in the mood for food! No thanks! read more

Really disappointed. I went inside to order takeout. Ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and this is what I got. Didn't even bother to add the main ingredient to the order. The taste is bland with watery eggs-it's like they didn't even try after waiting a good 15-20 mins for it. An unfortunate waste of money on my end. read more

Hell of a breakfast. Or should I say breakfast from hell. Signed up for the wait list online at 10am and it showed a 30min wait. Got to the restaurant at 10:30 and we were seated at 11am. Our food didn't arrive to our table for another hour and 15 min. Went in for a late breakfast and ended up eating lunch. Very unorganized staff. A crowd of door dash people standing around waiting for carry out orders in the middle of the dining area. The large sign on the wall that says farm to table should be a warning to anyone planning a trip to this restaurant. They are driving down to a local farm to get your breakfast before it reaches your table. First time last time. read more

Lousy service. Got on the list was told it would be a 25-30 minute wait. 40 minutes later the hostess could not say how much longer it would take. Noted plenty of tables were open. When this was pointed out to her she said the slowdown was in the kitchen. Went to Leo's instead. No wait fast service read more

Fresh delicious food, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable... Perfect atmosphere for a brunch! Also, very easy to find and parking is abundant. Do recommendo! read more

I was excited to try this new restaurant after looking at their menu and because they are close to my home. The food was good but the portions were small and the place is a bit over priced. Not sure that i would give it a second try. read more

First Watch in canton is by far the best place to go for breakfast or brunch. The food is amazing and the staff always go above and beyond no matter how busy they are. If you're lucky to have Nikki as your server you'll be blown away. She does such an incredible job of taking care of her customers. Honestly everyone here makes you feel like family when dining. Another thing I really like and appreciate is how clean the place is at all times. read more

SLOOOOOOWWWWWW. Food is OK if you have 2 hours for breakfast. Hopefully they work out the kinks, but definitely not a pleasant experience for those who don't have endless patience. read more

My wife and I visited the Northville location fo breakfast. If you think that because it's in a little strip mall so you would think that it's going to be less than stellar, you'd be wrong. Place was clean and open with many windows. Lots of staff which today is an exception. Staff was friendly and prompt. Took our order and order he food was delivered in good time. Food presentation was very good. It was a little over the top for my tastes but many people will love it. I ordered an omelette and my wife eggs Benedict and both plates came with salad on the plate. A bit showey but Ok, I get what they are going for. Food taste for both meals was again excellent. Staff checked on your needs without being intrusive. Portion sizes were more than adequate. What more can you ask of a restaurant? Clean, open atmosphere, prompt staff and excellent food. Prices were a bit on the high side but not ripping you off. Overall a good experience. If you are looking for a place to have a breakfast or brunch it should definitely be on your list. read more

I'm a regular at First Watch and saw they have a new location in Canton so I decided to stop and have lunch with a friend there. Food is always so good. I always get the Traditional, it's a classic :). Staff were great! Location was great! read more

Great decor and ambiance. I had the Belgian waffle. It was too sweet batter and compote for my taste. Other items may be better but more of a savory flavor profile in the other menu items. Service was great though. Friendly staff! read more

I wanted to love this place. I really did. I had waited for months to try them out finally got a chance to. Was seated at a table waited 40 minutes for our order to arrive. Seems pretty simple two orders of eggs Benedict with well Done potatoes. When it finally came 1/2 of mine had 1/2 egg, the other egg was only a yolk which was broken and a half and drying on the plate already. My daughters Benedict the egg was raw. They forgot the potatoes and brought to our table afterwards so much for well done, they were stark white. Ended up leaving without even taking a bite of food quite disappointed. read more

The food here is always fresh and delicious! I also like the creative drinks that they have.

Food was good, not much of a menu but the service was terrible. The waitress brings no water, 3 little sugar packs and 3 little cream packs for 3 people. Doesn't ask us if we need ketchup or hot sauce. After all that good is Way over priced. Needless to say I will not be back. read more

We had a great first experience at First Watch this morning. Our server, Renda (I think), was so kind and accommodating. We all got a variety of food items and everyone was pleased. I personally had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and loved it. I had a taste of the pumpkin pancake too and it was great. read more

Terrible service, twice now. First time I ordered here they said the food would be ready in 35 minutes. 1 hour and 35 minutes later it was ready, after being told it would only be 5 more minutes multiple times. Second time I ordered, they forgot the sides that are supposed to come with the dishes and part of the order. Called to speak with the manager and he was dismissive and rude. read more

Came for a breakfast with my family, ordered but egg Benedict breakfast. The meals were brought the the egg Benedict was hard boiled. Sent it back and was told two chefs were working on it. 20 minutes later the second meal came out with hard boiled eggs again. Please learn to cook. Great way to ruin a family breakfast atmosphere, when one person doesn't get to eat and the others feel bad eating. Shame on the manager, cooks( not chefs as described) to serve the poor quality meals. read more

Placed an order this morning that was to be ready at approximately 7:47am, food was not ready by 8:00AM. Understanding there had been issues in food service establishments due to staffing and other issues during the pandemic, I was being patient. However, only a handful of customers were in the restaurant and had already been served. The wait staff of 3 servers was standing around on cellphones and one was sitting reading a book and on cellphone. There was a full staff in the back if the house. By 8:10 AM still no order or staff acknowledgements. When I asked for status of order. I asked the server sitting and reading if she could let me know if it was my order. Another server walked up and said " if I don't like the service I didn't have to eat here". This is the second time for poor service at this location, customer service and communication isn't priority, no problem definitely won't eat here again! read more

Great spot to go for a brunch. We sat in the covered outdoor spot and felt very comfortable with the spacing of the tables. Everything tasted delicious. I had a side of the biscuits and turkey sausage gravy and it was outstanding. Had a good amount of spice to it. Our service was wonderful too. Will be back. read more

Although the service and food was great, the hardest part was getting in the door. We did the "Get in Line" option when the app stated the wait was 30-45 minutes, however, after checking in with the hostess we waited another 30 minutes. From the time we confirmed on the app to the time we were seated was much more than the app stated the wait would be. We have patronized other restaurants that use a similar feature and we have grown to trust it. I cannot say the same for First Watch's "Get in Line" feature. read more

I placed my order online for an in store pick up. I arrived right on time and the hostess said they were bagging up my order just as I walked in and directed me to the back counter to wait for my carry out. I stood and waited in the restaurant for an additional 11 minutes. It was interesting to observe the flow of the restaurant. After arriving home just a couple of minutes later, the food was cold... although the flavors were better than I was expecting! Everything had potential. I was disappointed with the extra wait time and that the food was cold. I would give this place another shot but would definitely dine in next time. read more

First Watch - Biscuits and Gravy Side, Blueberry Muffin and HUEVOS RANCHEROS TOSTADAS with Black Beans. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Great AVOCADO TOAST with egg on top and add potatoes on the side! Waitress I had was smiling and attentive!

We were shopping in Canton and knew there was a new First Watch out there so it gave us a good excuse to try this one out. We love the one in Livonia already and go to that one often . It didn't disappoint. Server Becca was friendly. Food amazing as always. Glad we have another option and we're big fans. read more

I love this place! So far I have only ordered carryout but have loved it every time. The inside is nice and bright with plenty of sunlight coming in. Appears clean and staff has always been friendly. I have ordered the traditional breakfast, biscuits and gravy and the crab and avocado toast. I'm not sure which I liked best because everything is so delicious and fresh. read more

Food was amazing, must try the million dollar bacon! Our server, Terri, was wonderful!! Very clean and appropriately socially distanced. Must try! read more

Food and service is always amazing. First tried First Watch in Naples FL. last year and loved it. We were so happy to see this one open in Canton MI. Food is fresh and delicious. read more

This cafe is great and the atmosphere is nice. The cafe is clean and comfortable. The food is amazing. The only thing difficult is the amazing choices of food to choose from. The green juice is delicious and I have no doubt the others are good also. The waitress Becca is amazing always with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. I highly recommend you visit this cafe. read more

My friend and I chose to come here today because it was our half way point, and we were DELIGHTED! The food was exceptional, I got their savory lemon ricotta pancakes while my girlfriend got the healthy turkey omelet, which we split! So delicious and healthy! The young man Ryan who take care of us was so nice and talked us through the menu because it was my friends first time here, will DEFINITELY be back! read more

It's my second time here and I'm still a fan. I've had their holey donuts (YUM) and their AM superfoods bowl. I was a little apprehensive about the bowl but it was sweet and delicious and filling. The almond buttered toast with the sea salt helped balance out the sweetness from the chia seed pudding and there was definitely enough for me to split between two meals. Needless to say, they have some unique and filling recipes and I was definitely inspired me to replicate it at home! read more

Shout out to our awesome server, Terri. Not only was the food amazing but the service she provided was on-point. This is how you do customer service! read more

It was good but very expensive not really worth the price in my opinion I would recommend going there once or twice but not often the service was also pretty bad it wasn't quick really at all read more

Love love love this place. Great food and servers. 10/10 My favorite is the PUMPKIN PAN CAKE read more

I don't even know where to start. 2 stars is insanely generous for the average brunch spot. We were seated at a booth that was absolutely sticky and unappetizing to eat at. I realized a few minutes into being seated my foot was slipping and sliding all over the floor; my area had so many scrambled eggs smashed all over. We started with their limited time only watermelon wake up drink that had absolutely no flavor. You'd think that for a $5 no refill drink you'd get a little flavor. After a long 1 hour and 7 minute wait (from the moment we sat down to receiving our food) everything was average, mediocre, lacked flavor, and best of all inconsistent. We all ordered 3 market skillet hashes and they each had a completely different amount of food. Our server Carmen was so sweet and continued to check up on us after we received our food. Overall, skip this place and head to Omelette & Waffle cafe in Plymouth. read more

This was a fairly new location and opened a couple of weeks after Darth Vader reopened restaurants again from the pandemic. Sunday brunch was busy with an hour to wait. The food was very good with great selections. The ambiance was quite modern. Service was slow getting drinks and food...but it was a busy morning. read more
