    Coffee refills are easy and plentiful. Selection of vegetarian options. Ask Brady about vegan options. He is knowledgeable and personable.

    Top Notch Service with plenty of great options making it difficult to make a choice. We were all very pleased, like the pancakes were incredible. The ambiance was relax while busy.

    Iced coffee
    Jennifer R.

    Thank you to First Watch for the delicious iced coffee, which has me caffeinated and ready to write my first review of 2024! I could spend the whole review just writing a love letter to the iced coffee. It has it all going on. Always plenty of ice, perfectly sweetened, slight hint of vanilla flavor. I typically order for takeout at First Watch and I always pick something off the seasonal "specials" list. Generally, the food has always tasted delicious. My only caveat is that they are very light handed on the meat and the toppings. You will be playing Where's Waldo looking for the brisket or the barbacoa. They are also very stingy with sour cream for some reason. Anyways. The food tastes so good, that I don't get hung up on that. Staff at this location is always great and orders have always been ready for pickup on time.

    Citrus Hibiscus Punch Hibiscus tea, cranberry, orange, pineapple, lemon, and ginger with a cinnamon-spiced sugar rim GINGERBREAD SPICE DONUTS Warm cake donut holes tossed with gingerbread spice and lightly dusted with powdered cinnamon sugar. Served with salted caramel toffee sauce and creme anglaise. 4-star ONLY because the kitchen was behind on orders and it delayed our order party of 8. Our server was sweet made sure we were aware of the delay and was accommodating at checkout.

    Note: review may be influenced by how hangry I was High quality ingredients and delicious dishes. I was just very irritated by how minuscule the portions were :feelsReal: Additionally, the potatoes were 2 salty. The things we ordered were kinda basic so I would like to try some of their seasonal stuff sometime! The service was occasionally forgetful but was otherwise prompt. Interior design was p cozy too!

    First Watch is my favorite breakfast restaurant in Upper Arlington. Their menu is pretty straightforward-- they just do all the American breakfast classics really well! Their coffee is great, their service is great, and the price is reasonable given the quality. My kids are still too young for us to enjoy dining out for breakfast too often, but we'll definitely be back again for breakfast!

    Had brunch here recently and it was good. We had to wait about 45 min to get seated, but we also showed up on a Sunday at 11:30am. Not a lot of seating for waiting. When we did get seated, our table was clean and our server was fast. The reason I didn't give higher stars was because the floor was so slippery. It wasn't just me, I saw others slipping and sliding on the dining room floor too. I don't know it was just recently waxed, or if a bunch of oil was spilled in it without being properly cleaned, but it was really hard to walk and not slip and fall! Clean, well stocked bathrooms as well. Nice staff. Overall I liked my experience here, but I'd recommend the new First Watch, at 6505 Dublin Center Drive Dublin, OH 43017, over this one hands down!

    This is a chain, but if you're looking for an affordable, healthy breakfast or lunch option, First Watch is an excellence choice. They have a bit of everything, but my favorites are their juices, "power bowls", and seasonal selections. The service has a bit of a Bob Evans feel to it (but the food is much better, in my opinion). You wait to be seated, service is pretty quick, you get your receipt at your table, and you pay at the register when you leave. There is only indoor seating at First Watch.

    It's what you'd expect from a First Watch. Good service, food was decent. The Ginger Spice Donuts were very delicious.

    Food was decent. Excellent customer service. They serve alcohol which is cool for a breakfast place.

The Biscuits for a Cause (2 with butter, jam and honey), Fried Pickles (chips with ranch), and Famous Fried Green Tomatoes (I don't normally like goat cheese, but these are served with stone-ground goat cheese grits) were all fabulous and I had plenty to take home after trying all. I had a glass of red blend wine with my entree, which was the Pan-Seared Salmon. My two chosen sides were the mashed potatoes and fried okra. The salmon was perfectly cooked; it was a great dish. I also got the Rosemary & Parmesan Breakfast Potatoes to go to have with my breakfast this morning. The service, food and atmosphere were all very enjoyable. The manager also helped out bringing food, and checking on me. I would return for another meal.

We enjoyed the grilled pork belly though, marinated enough and it's complimented with soy vinegar dip. The pancit on the other hand was very greasy. The oil was pooling at the bottom of the bowl.
