First Watch was pretty good! I went with some friends and got a table really quickly. Also, the food was really fresh and it did not take a long time for it to come out. I thought overall they were awesome! Jon was our waiter and was very kind and helpful. I would come here again! read more

The food was good , no kids menu however if you do have children i suggest the tri-fecta since it's a little bit of everything . The food was good, the wait was short. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was part of my husband's meal was missing and i had to flag down my waitress to remind her and by time his French toast came everyone was done eating . We had a party of 8 and only waited 30 min on a Sunday after church so definitely good timing. read more

Quite pricey and some favorite items not available anymore. Service is good. Fresh ingredients are abundant.

Such a calm relaxing atmosphere the food is always awesome the service is amazing and the drinks are to die for

I always get the same waitress due to the consistent change over of staff. The food is a hit or miss as well. Long lines and dirty tables is what we've experienced. We've came here several times and only a handful was actually enjoyable. I'd recommend getting on the online waitlist. It'll help your wait time to be less that an hour. read more

Came here after an event at Fort Moore for family breakfast, but found all of the food to be lackluster. Not bad, just very basic and under seasoned. However, I really appreciated that everything had calories listed! read more

This place has pallets on the ceiling for decoration The pancakes are very tasty The staff was in too much of a rush for my liking. Still good food and they give you a nice large water container so no worries about running out of drink. read more

The food is 5 stars but the service and experience was more like a 3-4. We waited an hour and a half to be seated- it was a busy Sunday so I get it but dang! The server was this older woman who was a bit short with me. When I asked for my potatoes extra crispy she said "it's busy so you'll get what you get, we'll try our best." Which I wasn't a huge fan of that response. The potatoes I received were undercooked but seasoned well. The omelette and juice were fantastic though! I'm sure it was just the busyness but that's why they're getting the review that I've provided. Hopefully next time will be better because I know they can provide better service than that. read more

We love the food at first watch! It is always so delicious. There can be a long wait at times but they do a call ahead wait list which really helps. We've always had great service there besides in big parties. It just gets complicated with large parties. It's definitely great for smaller families. Delicious food and prices are reasonable! read more

I just love this place! They have THEE best breakfast in Columbus, hands down! The restaurant​ is always packed! but DUHHH why wouldn't​ it be? Parking is fairly​ easy, never had a problem finding a parking spot. The food is to die for... Like seriously​... the pancakes and​ eggs are sooo fluffy. Everything just tastes so homemade​, like yo grandma made it. I've never had a bad experience and I've​ eaten​ here multiple​ times. Food is always good and servers are always amazing. read more

I had the this drink Calle the Morning Meditation and I enjoyed the Ham and Gruyère sandwich and soup(don't know which one since I told the waitress to surprise me). My daughter had her usual omelet read more

Great food, reasonable prices and great service! My friend and I went on Sunday during brunch hours and the place was filled with hungry customers. We waited about 20 minutes and were very satisfied with the overall experience we had there. I ordered the traditional breakfast, which came with delicious eggs, two pieces of toast, chicken sausage patties (other meats are offered to choose from) and house potatoes. I was very impressed with the quality of the food. I also ordered a chocolate pancake for $5. It tasted like I was eating a delicious chocolate chip cookie. Highly recommend this place! read more

Waited over an hour for nothing. What's the point of having mobile check-in if you still have to go inside the restaurant just to be put on a waiting list? The app used to let you actually check in without going inside until you were ready to be seated; how it should be. read more

Great service!! Food was good and hot, the service was quick. Good spot to grab breakfast.

Nothing on the menu truly grabbed my attention or taste buds... I feel like it's missing something... the price with the portions are not fair I believe... Let's just say I wasn't impressed with any food items I went several times with family and friends but still have yet to find something that would make me crave for more. First Watch is a hit or miss I feel... most items I feel like I could of just gone home and cooked myself... I don't know maybe I'll try again ...no photos as you can see too... nothing amazes me read more

The food is OK! Way over priced for the amount of food you get. The service was pretty good but if you on on a Sunday brunch expect to wait for at least an hour to get seated. I guess some people have money to spend. I don't have $45 to spend for two people for brunch. It was a one time thing for us. read more

Always good food, some weekend mornings can be a long wait, but it's worth it. We like to sit outside with the dog, they always bring a water bowl, and check regularly. read more

I have been to several First Watch in Austin, TX and was surprised to find one while visiting my daughter. We had the watermelon drink and it was perfect on a hot day! We also split the chorizo skillet (not sure what it was called) and the lemon ricotta pancakes.......so good!!! The service was good and it was very clean inside. Nice little breakfast/brunch spot! read more

Very slow service. We were seated within 10 minutes of arrival. Ordered about 5 minutes later. Took over 30 minutes for the food to come. Unfortunately my pancake was cold and i was unable to eat it. Sat for another 15 minutes the waitress never came to check on us. We finally asked a bus boy to get a manager he goes into the kitchen and miraculously the waitress appears. I would have been happy with a replacement but we had an appointment to get to and after waiting so long for the food and the waitress we just asked for a refund. First visit very disappointed. Will not be back . read more

Well....after almost a 2 hour wait, 45 min to get seated and almost an hour waiting for food....still waiting. Would have gotten seated earlier but the host didn't enter us into the system even though I received a text saying they would text when our table was ready. Good thing I checked on that. Food looks good. Sara is our server and apologized for how long the wait has been for food. Obviously not run well! After 30 min of waiting for food, they just offer a complimentary something. Food just came out. Good but not hot, slightly warm at best. Don't come here when they're busy they can't can't deal with that kind of pressure. read more

We know of several people who haven't tried First Watch because it's "health food". While they do offer healthy options, you can still get the regular breakfast items as well. I get the Traditional Breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. The OJ is the best in Columbus. My husband ordered the more Interesting meals with pancakes, omelets and he loves the Morning Meditation drink. The bread is not for everyone who was raised on white Wonder bread but we love it so much, we buy a loaf to take home. It is a wheat bread textured with oatmeal and sunflower seeds and such. Wonderful texture and flavor. The wait service is also fabulous. Check on their app though to get on the waitlist for weekends. The only downside is the parking lot is shared with other small shops and a church, so it can be difficult to find a place to Park. read more

The wait wasn't horrible on a Saturday around 9:30; at about 20 minutes. We both had the salmon Benedict. Best hollandaise sauce I've had! Everything tasted homemade and fresh. The star of the morning was my purple haze tea. I'd go back just for that beauty! read more

This was my first time at brunch at First Watch. We made reservations online, but once you get to the restaurant please go into the restaurant and check in, that is when you will be placed in the queue. The restaurant is a nice size and doable for a large party. Be advised no Mimosa available so I was pretty dissatisfied with that. I ordered the works with the million dollar bacon. Let me tell you those eggs were super fluffy and good, but it didn't have much in my omelette. So it lacks items in the Omelette. I am also a bacon lover so the bacon was super good as well but kinda burnt. As you see in the picture. The potatoes were the best item on my plate. Next time I will tell them I don't want it so crispy. I will definitely be back to give it another try with a different order. read more

Restaurant half full, sat for 15 minutes without being greeted or a drink order so I left.

Delicious, wholesome food and friendly staff. We had avocado toast, steel cut oats, and breakfast tacos... all fresh and good!!

The food was delicious, the coffee good, with an upbeat atmosphere. The staff is friendly and efficient. We will be back.

Always enjoyed my visits to First Watch. Tends to be our go to place for brunch before our SC peeps head back after a long weekend. Skillets are tasty, and the million dollar bacon is worth checking out. Coffee is also fresh and good. read more

You know.... For 5 dollars over some cheese grits. You'd think they could at least fill the container half way up. Nah. 1/3. That's all you get. read more

The food is always really great here. I got the quinoa bowl with chicken and a multigrain pancake. Loved them both. I also tried the seasonal juice which was amazing and didn't really taste like cinnamon. I'm giving 4 stars because when we walked in no one greeted us. Then a lady came grabbed menus and told us to follow her, without even greeting us. Seems like she was having a bad day which was very noticeable. The staff wore mask which I was grateful for. Another thing that rubbed me the wrong way was when the cashier pulled down her mask to speak to us and physically grabbed my phone to scan my coupon. We are in a PANDEMIC, please don't grab people's items. Other than I would recommend this place. read more

Despite it being Easter Sunday, we got seated quickly and a waiter was assigned to our table in a fairly swift manner too. The iced coffee and food was delicious, and the environment was spacious enough that we weren't cramped with other families. read more

Wa a super fast service and seating! We did reserve online before getting there. We sat outside and it was nice and quiet. Despite the place being packed we got our food and it was delicious! Our waiter addressed any needs and when made sure we got our order fixed (scrambled eggs instead of sunny side up). The portions are perfect not like typical brunch places that over serve. Great food for a decent price! read more
