I was just commenting the other day that I wished more restaurants had vegetables at breakfast. We stopped into this busy First Watch for breakfast and I was happy to observe that most dishes had a side of greens. Many of the egg dishes also included vegs, so yay! We split a golden cinnamon roll which had a gold knife, although the gold sprinkles had melded into the frosting so it had lost its golden color. It was lukewarm and with too much frosting, so it was just ok. Our breakfasts were decent, my frittata was slightly warm. There are a lot of interesting dishes to accommodate different dietary needs. I'll stop at another First Watch in the future.

This was a great breakfast! Our server was very kind and our food came out quick! I ordered the athlete breakfast and it was very fulfilling and healthy! It is a little tight in here as far as seating but they were fast and accommodating!

Farmhouse Hash

I got the Farmhouse Hash and it was very good! My server was very nice and thoughtful and the ambiance was very chill. The food didn't take long to come out either!

Stopped in at one of our favorite brunch spots on a brisk Sunday morning. True to form, both the parking and the inside were bustling, echoing with the lively energy typical of a full house Kicked things off with the Pomegranate Sunrise, charmingly served in a quaint bottle for self-pouring. The cocktail, a perfect mix of Camarena Tequila, pomegranate juice, fresh lime, and agave nectar, was the right way to get our day started Opting for the classics, I went with the Traditional, a plate of eggs over medium, bacon, toast, and seasoned potatoes, all to my liking. My wife's choice, the Farm Stand breakfast tacos, came filled with cage-free eggs, Cajun chicken, chorizo, a blend of cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, all crowned with fresh avocado and housemade pico de gallo, accompanied by a side of seasoned black beans Our fandom for First Watch is strong, rooted in the quality of their food, exceptional service, and welcoming ambiance. We recommend using their app to secure a spot on the weekend waitlist (10a-1p) - definitely a wait that rewards. Can't wait for our next visit!

First time out not a huge breakfast fan but the wifey is! Food/Drink: Everything was great! Salad decent, Cobb salad add chicken...I maybe got 2oz but the salad was huge. Bread and Apps: The Chibatta bread stick was good. Dinning Area: Pretty large, and open. Prices: overall decent. Nothing was outrageous. Parking: Plenty of space, shared huge lot. Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and smaller in size. Atmosphere: During the weekend brunch rush, during the summer season. pretty steady. We did not wait at all. Staff/Attendants: Staff overall was Great, family owned and operated. Good experience when for breakfast! 7/10

Trivia: What three creamers can be found on the table in a small bowl? (Tip, if only one or two are available, you can ask for the third) I don't remember First Watch having cocktails. They looked so good. BUT, hard to pass up their coffee! A whole pitcher of fresh coffee and several different individual creamers to choose from. Food: I was happy to see that the menu was the same as the menu I was used to when I lived in Florida. It's a great menu with lots of variety. Breakfast tacos, at least five different pancakes. Sausage, gravy, and biscuits. And I didn't even pay attention to the lunch menu. It's a place where the picky eater, or the carb conscious, or the health nut can all choose meals that will make them happy. Ever wanted to get just one pancake because you can't decide between the pancakes and the omelet, or the power bowl? Well, you are in luck! Ordering one pancake is available! And they are large enough to share. Ambiance: Also, great valley girl conversation at the table next to us. Seriously, who needs a boyfriend with a mom who is so judgmental? A boyfriend who doesn't agree to go with her to see her own mom each Thursday for a mani-pedi? Cause everyone hates her and she's a gem. Why do they hate her? So yeah. The tables are a little close together. But the menu is awesome, and the service, friendly.

Coffee grinds in the coffee they serve.

The service alone should deter you. They sat us down at a very dirty table, that I had to clean myself. We sat down for 15 mins before we, ourselves had to walk to the front to get someone to come to our table to at least get our drink order. The coffee had chunks of coffee grinds in it that you could choke on it. The food was nice but they could not get the order right and left out food that I did want in there. The floors were dirty you could tell they don't clean or sweep every booth or seating area after the guests leave. I would not recommend coming here. Some food was good, but the overall experience leaves you with a bitter aftertaste.

French toast
Rod V.

Hubs and I were looking for a quick breakfast not far from our hotel in Fairborn, and given the nice experience we'd had with two of their locations in Maryland, we gave this one a try. Good decision. We both had the French toast and split an order of the million dollar bacon (can't remember if that's the exact name), both of which were great. They do a good job at First Watch, from the varied menu (with helpful calorie counts listed for each item!), to the efficient, friendly service. We'll happily come back to First Watch, whatever city we're in that has one!

Frittata Rustica
John H.

All aspects of our breakfast was good from the beginning to finish. We were greeted immediately, and soon after waited on. Started with a blueberry lemon cornbread which was delicious and had a frittata rustica which was tasty and healthy. Will plan to make a return visit in the future.

Will comeback to work here and get some coffee. Started off with some fruit juice the green was good fresh but the other one paradise seems frozen so more like a smoothie. Ordered the chicken & waffles! (Not a fan of the mayo but it wasn't bad). Chicken was well seasoned and crispy and so was the waffle! We also got the cinnamon roll and that didn't disappoint! Was not super sweet, it was just right and the cheese cream icing was amazing! Now service was good, everyone was so friendly and had no problems! Again we had to wait like less than 10 mins.

I met one of my clients and a couple folks from my office for breakfast, and it could not have been a better experience. The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. I hate that I can't remember our server's name, because she absolutely deserves the shout-out. Friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just right. Every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. You could tell it was all made fresh to order, hot, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're starting a busy Saturday. We all left full and happy, which is always the goal. On top of that, it's just a super cute spot. Great vibe, welcoming atmosphere, and perfect for casual meetings or weekend breakfasts. Safe to say I'll definitely be back.

So first off, in my opinion, there's nothing better than a neighborhood bar with cold beer and a…read moregood burger. We met our kids in Dayton, which is about a halfway point for us each, for lunch this Saturday. We'd been wanting a good burger so I started looking for options and when I saw this place it was a no brainer. Slyders did not disappoint! The burgers are done on a flat top that's probably been in their kitchen since they opened in 1948. Talk about flavor!! The burger is good quality, tender, and full of great beef flavor, cranked out on that flat top to a crispy brown exterior. Great fresh tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles and cheese make this burger oh so good!! Add a basket of perfectly fried HUGE onion rings and a cold beer, there's nothing better!! Top top it off the service was incredible. We had 3 or 4 guys stopping by checking on drinks, napkins, ect... The energy in this bar was comfortable and you felt like you were a "regular" even if you'd never stepped in the door before in your life. With big bear hugs and handshakes we left full of great food and a warm soul. Slyders is going on my "ride for a burger" list this summer on the bikes. It'll be well worth 2hr ride to get there!! .

A unique local spot. Helpful and friendly staff. I was there around 7:00pm it was full of patrons…read more Noise is above average loud. Jukebox music, normal conversation din, plus the happy drunk at the bar shouting his words. The food was above average. The "medium-well" burger contained quality meat but was dry. Next time I would add cheese. Burger toppings were fresh - lettuce, onion, pickles. The fries were good but not great. Overall four stars.

The bartenders were very friendly and made us feel welcome, as we were visiting the area for an event at the Air Force Museum. Mikey was great and kept our drinks flowing. We met a nice local couple there, Monty and Stephanie I believe were their names. We had a nice conversation with them about bourbon, as we are from Ky, and other libations. I played some Keno and also the pull-tabs. They also have a large selection of dart boards, pool tables, and a Skee-ball machine. We had already eaten dinner at MacKenzie River, but after a couple of hours there we ordered their cheeseball, which was excellent. Their other food offerings looked good too. I highly recommend stopping in here if you're ever in the Beavercreek area. They have a large selection of bourbon and craft beer. We will definitely be back the next time we are visiting the area.

The Patty Melt came on a marbled rye bread. It was a good sized sandwich and it appears it double patties. The tater tots were plentiful, fried golden crisp and really good. No condiments came with the order but they did include some napkins and plastic cutlery. You can add cheese or other sauce options with your tots for a small up charge. I do recommend. Food is good and filling and items were packed carefully.
