Pick two - salad and 1/2 club sandwich
Jennifer R.

Holey donuts! That is actually what they are called on the menu and they live up to the name. For a place that is not known for donuts, they were better than any I have had from a donut shop in Columbus. The donuts themselves are little nuggets of soft, cakey goodness, but it is the dipping sauces that really make it special. One is a fruit jam and the other is a dark chocolate sauce. We ate other food too and it was good, but get those donuts while you can. They are a limited seasonal special. Service was great as well.

Pros: Juices are delicious Love the seasonal menu friendly staff easy to get on their waitlist - they text you when your table is ready Cons: Super crowded after the holiday, so had a wait a while Also the food was not up to its usual high quality - my chicken quinoa bowl was mushy and over sauced Parking can be difficult when strip is busy Pro tip: You need to pay for bill at the front so don't sit around waiting for your server to come get your payment. The Dublin location does a better job with food quality even when they are busy.

Parmesan prosciutto toast

I've been here a few times and I like this location better than the Worthington one because of the layout. If you're on a special diet I highly suggest looking at their menu online ahead of time because so you can check things like ingredients, sodium, and cholesterol (most of their menu is *really* high in sodium, so you've been warned!). The frittata rustica is one of the healthier options I like to order. Last time I splurged and had the parmesan prosciutto toast, and that was hands down, the best thing I've ever had at First Watch. I had a bite of my hubby's the last time we ate here and I couldn't stop thinking about it, so we had to go back for it! The sourdough toast with fluffy scrambled eggs, prosciutto, arugula w/lemon, topped with fresh shredded parm is absolute perfection! One thing I do not recommend is the million dollar potatoes. My hubby upgraded his side to that and it was insanely salty. So much so that he only ate a few bites. I sampled a tiny bite and wished I hadn't. IMO, the best side is the seasonal fruit. The service here is alright, but not as good as the Dublin location. But I'm ok with that because I don't live near Dublin.

Bacado
Nanci S.

During a spike in Covid-19 cases, I was saddened that this place doesn't ask customers to wear masks. Fully half of the people were maskless. There was no social distancing between tables. I even had to flag down the manager to ask our waitress to cover her nose. I had the Bacado since I wanted to compare it to the same dish at the First Watch in Huber Village. It was a smaller amount of food and the egg was dense. They covered the salad greens with the toast to conceal the skimpy portion.

We visited First Watch this morning and I must admit it has been awhile since we had gone there. There were menus on the table as well as a supplemental menus as well. The regular menu has the normal breakfast items, BUT there was a surprise on the smaller menu. It ended up being an awesome, deliciously deep dish of egg&cheese omelette, black beans, tortilla chips smothered with a spicy barbacoa, wedge of lime and guacamole. I wish I had taken a photo before plowing into it but I didn't. The attached photo obviously is from a table card. If you order the Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl you absolutely cannot go wrong. ENJOY!!!!!!!

Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos
Abby A.

Stopped in for moms birthday lunch! Wait was longer than anticipated but good food all around. I liked the breakfast tacos, they were quite good and more filling than expected. Service was fast and we were out in 45 min. Would recommend if you are looking for fresh, somewhat fancier food than your average diner.

The Trifecta

One of our favorite places to eat breakfast while in Columbus- always good - seems to be a favorite for all the locals - which is always a good sign ! Service is friendly and prompt gotta be careful when go because most always busy - management does good job keeping clean -

Kale Tonic

We stopped here for a quick bite before heading to a shopping mall. The food was good the drink was refreshing and delicious. The staff were nice and our waitress was great!

Pancake

OMG I can't recommend this place enough. We came early on Sunday before the rush and it was perfect. Coffee in a carafe so you don't have to keep asking for more. Pancakes are huge and delicious. I've loved everything here.

See all
