I'd give 10 stars if I could! Amazing, creative, fresh delicious food! Had a fabulous breakfast: the lemon blueberry cornbread is served warm and is bursting with flavor. The million dollar bacon.... Is a must! The avacado toast was so good, my husband loved his chorizo omelet. There's so many more things on their menu I want to try! Great service from Heidi, restaurant is clean and modern and welcoming. Definitely worth it! read more

Our server was very nice but not paying attention at all and the quality of the food was not good. They were out of everything and the server did not tell us. There was no avocado on the club sandwich and the server didn't say anything, there was a chunk of bacon floating in our water shown in the photo and we were on the waitlist for 45 minutes, and then got a text that if we didn't show up in 5 minutes we would be taken off. We got there immediately and then we're told we had to wait more and proceeded to wait for 20 more minutes. After we were done eating, we tried getting out servers attention several times and she continued to check all the other tables in our section except ours and her section was not even busy. Ultimately we waited for 30 minutes to get the servers attention just to get the check. read more

First Watch - Bacon in the water - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

Food is always so amazing and the servers as well as the folks who clean the tables are so very nice always happy.

My family and I were staying in an Airbnb nearby and needed something tasty and relatively healthy for breakfast. We were excited to see First Watch was nearby. We ordered takeout and were shocked how quickly it was ready. (~20 min). I ordered a power breakfast bowl with quinoa, tomatoes, kale, lemon dressing, Italian sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese. Since ordering this over a year ago, I can't get myself to order anything else because I love it so much. Not only is it so yummy, but it also makes me feel satiated and good after eating it. read more

First Watch - million dollar bacon, bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

The food here was good, healthy, and wholesome. We went here for Mother's Day and were given an estimated hour wait time for a table. We expected this, as brunch time on Mother's Day is usually very busy for any place. Everyone enjoyed their food - though I did wish the portions were bigger in my case. I informed staff of my dairy allergy and they were extremely kind in checking the bread for dairy and informing me. I did not have an allergic reaction to the food - and I am very pleased with that! It was also incredibly clear that our server - wish I had gotten their name - was very experienced as a server, and knew the menu thoroughly. This was great for us as we had never been there before. The interior seemed pretty hip and natural - lots of wood - but some subtle modern farmhouse themes. I will also add that the kale tonic was sweet and refreshing! I will be returning. read more

Great brunch breakfast for the whole family. Had a mimosa with Salmon eggs Benedict. My husband had the regular eggs Benedict and my daughter had the fruit salad. We were full and satisfied. The waitress was not especially thrilled to be there it seemed, but our orders came out quickly and were delicious. read more

I hate that they have such strict hours because I can't go as much as i like. Decent location with a parking lot behind and some street parking in front. Food is always good, place is always clean and staff is always friendly. There may be a bit of a wait on weekends read more

My absolute favorite breakfast in town! I got half of a veggie sandwich and half of a blue cheese salad. Absolutely everything was wonderful! I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend! read more

First Watch - Salad, half veggie sandwich and a mimosa! All were excellent! Great portion sizes! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

First Watch - French toast with whipped cream, waffle with eggs and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

First Watch needs to "FIRST CLEAN!!" Well, I had breakfast this morning with my girlfriends and we all kind of sensed there had been a change in ownership. The wall around our booth was filthy and also had crayon scribbled on it. I almost got halfway through my Sunrise Granola bowl and found a decent sized hair in it. They did compensate me with another yogurt, but still that had never happened before. I really hope they just close up for a day and scrub the hell out of that place. And then reopen with another crew. This has not been our experience there in the past but I'm afraid this episode has caused me and my friends to pick another restaurant in the future. read more

My daughter and I went and we were not disappointed. The ambiance is pretty laid back. We were seated promptly and our server brought over some water and coffee. We looked at the menu, and we ordered the eggs Benedict and the lemon ricotta pancakes. Both were delicious. To drink, I had the Bloody Mary and my daughter had the purple haze. They were both good. I'd definitely recommend this place for brunch. read more

The service is great! Soon as you walk in you are greeted at the door by a smiling face! Our server was Rosie she's so polite and knowledgeable! Such a good time! The food was delicious everyone had clean plates! My daughter had granola bowl with yogurt and fruit! Food was fresh , bread tasted freshly baked ! Will be back! Also if you stop in try their freshly squeezed juices. We tried the seasonal juice tropical sunrise . Mango Pineapple Strawberry lime! service was speedy. On a Saturday morning there was no wait even though it was packed! This place runs like a well oiled machine! read more

Fast casual style brunch and breakfast. It's a chain, but a well enough done one. The wait staff is attentive and prompt. The parking is easy enough to come by. As far as the food goes it's a major step above IHoP but it can't approach The Blue Door. So if you want something quicker and more affordable than Blue Door, but higher quality than, say...Bob Evans. This is the right call. (PS the coffee is quite good). They have a great selection of Eggs Benedict variations. I like the smoked salmon version. read more

Good restaurant,food was good,service was outstanding.pricing was average., Good selection. Of menu items

I wasn't aware that this is a chain, we don't have them where I'm from. We were in town for a wedding. Really enjoyed the experience! THE ATMOSPHERE: - it was a busy Saturday for brunch. We had put our names on a wait list and waited a bit, weather was nice so we hung out outside. -big tables. We were a party of 2 and got sat at a long booth. There were lots of table styles, looked like a good place to go if you have a large group since they have good tables. -really liked the decor. It was modern and served the brunch vibe well. THE FOOD: -learning it was a chain I was nervous about the food but I loved everything I got. -Big fan of eggs Benedict and it did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked eggs. Delicious. And the ham is thinly sliced. No other way to do it in my opinion! -the side greens were dressed a little bitter for my liking but that's likely personal preference. Overall the plate was very filling ! -at first I didn't want a coffee but my partner's smelled so good I couldn't resist. Tasty! -my partner got some sort of yogurt or oat bowl (not pictured--sorry!) that he liked -he has a huge sweet tooth and couldn't resist getting the cinnamon bun. I'm a fan of a classic cinnamon roll...chewy and fluffy with cream cheese icing. Overly sweet with extras like powdered sugar and caramel isn't my thing, so I opted not to try it--but he loved it!!! -we shared the breakfast potatoes. I was really in the mood for potatoes but hate onions. You can't order them without the onion but they are pick off-able for my fellow onion haters out there. THE SERVICE: -our waitress was clearly very seasoned. Great service while handling lots of tables -our waters and coffees were always full and she made sure to check in on us. Overall, I would definitely choose to go here again! If you're a Benedict lover make sure to try it!! read more

Yes it's busy. That's because it's delicious and they've niched down to being a brunch/lunch place. You'll find your hearty favorites like biscuits and gravy, but also lighter options like quinoa power bowls. The aesthetics of this place is rustic, but feels homey like a diner without being in the diner category. I'm a beverage girl. My go-to's here are the beet/orange juice, I believe it's called the sunrise and the mint iced coffee. I'm a weirdo, so When I order this out, I save the chocolate in the bottom of the cup and use it for my iced coffee the next day. Hot tip, right!?! read more

The notes about the atmosphere stand, and I will still enjoy weekday breakfast here, but I have put a big x over this location for Sunday both as a customer and as a delivery driver. This First Watch has a much different air quality feel than the Fairlawn location. It is a great effect! The food is fresh and quickly served and the breathable air makes me always want to order extra and eat slowly. That was my weekday breakfast review. As a DoorDash driver, I appreciate the well conceived pickup process-- usually. Today was awful. Bad Sunday management. A culture of fun for employees rather than customer service. The manager flat out told me "if you were to come back later, it'll probably be the same so.." I say "so stay home?" He says "that would be just fine with me." He had said they were horribly backed up. I had perked in the kitchen and it was packed with servers dancing and goofing. Fun, but not for the customer. The kitchen staff was watching the servers. It looks like bad management. Sad, for such a great restaurant! read more

We have been here several times and always have a pleasant experience. The food is good and the service is reliable. The only knock that I have for the place is even with the online check In we end up with a decent wait even when we get there towards the end of the allotted time bracket that they give us. Not completely their fault but the only negative about the place! Will still definitely be back read more

Went for breakfast and checked in a half hour early, was told it would be a 30 minute wait. That was 10:30 in the morning. We got the text at 1:30 in the afternoon that our table was ready. Inexcusable! read more

Very busy told 20 minute wait. No problem it is New Years Day. My husband and I could wait. vSitting right in front of greater seater I watched her take a couple to a table that came in about 10 minutes after us. A waitress came up asking if her friends had arrived. The seater laughed and said I took them right to the table and pointed at that couple. The waitress thanked her, telling her she was awesome. It was brunch lunch time I ordered coffee ice water and a cup of Italian wedding soup and 1/2 roast beef havarti sandwich. The coffee was too strong for me. When my food came I explained I could not do their coffee and asked them to take the pot away. He said ok, no apology or offer of something else. The sandwich was very good. Unfortunately it was the worst wedding soup I have ever had. All I could taste was salt and spinach. Not the delicious blend of seasoning and carrots etc you savor with wedding soup. When our waitress brought the bill she did not notice the full bowl of untouched soup or the full cup of coffee and missing pitcher . Everyone was dashing around. The decor is clean. The noise level is loud. Very hard to have a conversation. read more

My Mom and I love First Watch, especially this one in Cuyahoga Falls. We typically get the delicious veggie frittata and enjoy their seasonal juice Concoctions. Even better than their upgraded delicious food and chic farm house style are the warm smiles, hard working and kind professionals who serve us. We truly look forward to seeing the professionals who work here each visit. A huge shout out to one of the many wonderful servers named Taylor. Not only is she extra warm, friendly, efficient and kind but is such a wonderful example of how one person who cares deeply about others including her teammates and customers. It's inspiring to see her make a huge impact on uplifting everyone lucky enough to be in her presence while enjoying the yummy food and the upgraded space at this wonderful First Watch! read more

We read the reviews that told of long waits but if you go on a Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm, there is no wait! I had the veggie burger (seasoned brown rice with carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peppadew peppers - you had me there!). A solid 9.5 on my veggie burger scale, it was moist and perfectly seasoned yet did not fall apart. Served with fresh avocado mash, tomato and onion on a brioche bun, it was yummy. The lemon dressed side salad finished it off very nicely. Had one of their juices - orange, beet, ginger, turmeric and it was very refreshing. Husband had the salad/half sandwich combo with a Cobb salad and roast beef/havarti sandwich - they were a great combo. Service was friendly and attentive but we didn't know (and our server didn't tell us) that you pay at the front but it was a pleasant sunny day to enjoy the outdoors after a hike. read more

Usually this is a great place to eat. Today, the food was ice cold upon delivery dry as if they pulled eggs and waffles out of the freezer and put them on the plate before sending them out immediately. The meat was lukewarm. Things were resolved and I'm sure this was just an off morning but it was disappointing. The hostess was drinking Starbucks coffee (openly, it was sitting on the hostess stand!). This was bizarre and unprofessional. Especially as I think FW's coffee is just fine as is. Update: 12/13/19: This location seems to just be off their game. Sitting around for over 15 mins before even being acknowledged by a waiter? What's with that? Other people at our table receiving ice cold food? What's with that? This isn't the way to run a restaurant. My food isn't even cooked properly and cold all the way through. I won't be back. read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

Massive failure in coordinating app reservations. I reserved a spot about 30 minutes ahead of arrival. No wait time was given. Checked in with hostess upon arrival. Was put on the wait list only then. Again, no wait time given. After a total waiting outside (COVID policy) in the rain, for about an hour. (I even walked next door to the coffee shop for a coffee). I then walked just up the street to an equally busy restaurant, and was served in minutes. After a total of around 3hours wait, I received a text stating that my table at first watch was now ready. It's not likely that I'll make it...nor will I expect to waste another entire morning and into the afternoon dealing with incompetent host/hostess and B.S. app reservations. Wouldn't recommend this time suck to anyone. Terrible organization. read more

Having lived in DC for 5 years, I've gotten used to having absolutely fantastic restaurants near me. However, once I visit home I'm always reminded of how much my home town is lacking. Thank goodness for First Watch! They give Cuyahoga Falls the culinary boost it needed. Obviously this restaurant welcomes all ages, but it's especially fun seeing young people brunching here. The wait staff has always been incredibly kind and the food is scrumptious. I wouldn't say there's anything surprising or unusual here, but First Watch gives a deliciously modern spin on some classic dishes. I've had their Market Hash and the Smoked Salmon Benedict, both of which were flavorful and hit the spot. Everything is fresh, hot, and each time their poached eggs were cooked perfectly! I especially love the hash plates; there's nothing more satisfying than getting a perfectly balanced forkful of potatoes, mushrooms, shallots, spinach, and egg yolk. Mmmmmmm. I added a side of sausage to top it all off. I have yet to try their sandwiches, but I've had bites of the Belgian Waffle and that is just as flavor-packed as the other dishes. The fruit sauce/jam thing that comes with it is so fresh! I highly recommend making a trip to First Watch, but be ware - they get busy during the weekend! read more

Not worth the wait. The silverware and cups were dirty. The drinks were overpriced. The cold brew was watered down to the point of looking like tea. The food was okay but not worth the price. The el pastor special had a single chunk of pork in it with 11 pieces of pineapple and a sad egg. Don't bother going here if you have another option. read more

Too expensive and difficult to order from the menu. Find it close quarters also. Atmosphere is not good either.

I mean if you like a healthy lifestyle breakfast this is your place. I like the greasy spoon joints where everything is fried in lard and you get a big ass meal that will hold you over till dinner or cure the hangover from the night before read more

This is my roommate and my favorite place to grab breakfast. Their iced coffee is delicious. I haven't had a bad meal here yet. And the prices are all very affordable! My friend always gets the avocado toast (what a millennial, am I right?) and I get the pick-two special with a sandwich and salad. The service is impeccable and I've never had a bad experience with the staff. Whether you're hungover or just don't feel like cooking, this is a great, delicious option with the perks of being a little healthier than most. Definitely recommend! read more

First Watch - Inspired Italian Omelet with potatoes instead of salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

I've been to this First Watch location twice and each time the food was impeccable. I got the Cobb Salad this time around. Everything on my salad was fresh! Nothing looked like it had been sitting out for a while or discolored. The presentation was beautiful. Not only was the food fantastic, our server, Matt was excellent. From the moment he greeted us to the time we go our check, he was just what we needed. He was kind, outgoing, funny and asked us if everything was to our liking. We were able to get to know Matt for a bit, and learn about his education and what he is off to do next! What a talented young man, but most importantly, First Watch - you should be very grateful for someone like Matt, who provides excellent service to your patrons. It's so hard these days to come to a place of business and receive good service, and Matt did just that and beyond. Best of luck to you with graduation and your internship Matt! read more
