    7 of us stopped in for breakfast. We were seated at a round table which was spacious. Service was excellent as were the orders across the 6 epicureans and one, 3 year old. The standard menu along with the seasonal menu offered a variety for a large offering of eclectic choices. I was very impressed and will certainly be back Sorry no pictures- had family in from out of town that took my full attention.

    Place is packed. Standing room only!

    Our service was a pleasant experience. Our server was amazing. She was extremely helpful, responsive, prompt, as well as detail oriented on specific requests. (I believe her name was Sidney?). Foods must to come out together. Our family had 2 orders of avocado toast. One arrived first thing, the other was minutes after all food was served. (My wife's was last) As a large profitable franchise, I'd focus on the layout. The front wait area is not comfortable, walking through the dining room has no flow, families are smashed and sat into uncomfortable booths, tables, with no room to walk around when chairs have guests pulled out from tables and enjoying themselves. We were trying to navigate our son's wheelchair to our seat. I'd strongly advised removing front entry checkout. Has no reason whatsoever in today's world. Nothing is efficient. Clogging, bogging, and shuffling out of the way for checkout, arrivals, and yelling party names. (Experience) It can leave a last tarnished memory when existing the restaurant.

    It was pretty busy for a Wed morning, we got seated right away. Food was great, lots of gluten free options. It was hard to decide what to choose!

    Blueberry pancake with a side of bacon

    First watch has an amazing selection of breakfast and lunch items. Their portions are huge. Their pancakes are the size of a dinner plate so unless you're starving one is sufficient. Their bacon is crispy the way I love it. Although I didn't get it today their Bloody Mary is awesome. It's topped with their million dollar bacon. They have a nice selection of healthier options as well. The oatmeal is delicious. Weekends are really busy. I suggest getting the app and getting on the waitlist. When you get there you can breeze past the line. The restaurant is very open with big windows that bring in a lot of natural light.

    We've been here multiple times, but this time we got the pancake for the first time. We asked for a mix of chocolate and blueberry pancakes. The recipe used real blueberries and high quality chocolate. It came with a fresh compote. This has been a great pancake experience! Next time I will get just Chocolate pancake and I can already imagine how awesome it will be. Moist, soft and delicious!

    Came here on our trip's last day for breakfast, because we wanted something hearty before the flight home. We were seated immediately and was greeted with great service. Quite fitting for a morning riser food place. We walked in and felt right at home, a little rustic vibe and the menu looked like newspapers. The food itself was a little pricey for the portion size but everything tasted great. The plates were dressed very nicely, I'll give it that much. I do wish my potatoes were crisped a little more because I do like them crunchy. The french toast hit the spot, and the chile omelet did too.

    Avocado chicken chop salad
    Patrice B.

    Love First Watch! I'm currently on a restricted meal plan and so thankful for this place having many options to fit the mold! I tried the Avocado chicken chop salad and the citrus dressing was the perfect addition! It was a very summery salad which I loved and it was just the right size. The restaurant was busy but we were seated very quickly and our server was prompt with checking in on us. I also like that they have both an inside option and a patio for seating. So glad I stopped in. I hadn't been here since doing takeout during Covid!

    This is what you get when you order out.
    Teresa H.

    The food looks like it was half eaten before it even arrived. I understand COVID changed a lot of things howver, quaity and give a damn should not be one of them. I wish I could give them zero like come on! The standards should be the same for take out!! Because the prices sure do cost more to have it delivered.

    Food was amazing! Kendall gave us great service we will definitely be back to try more!

    The entry area is super confusing with the pay-out area and greeter stand being separate. When it's busy there will be 2 long lines that tangle together. Atmosphere is hectic but the food is good!

    Food is good with some healthy choices. Nice atmosphere and great service just a little pricey. But we knew that coming in.

    Worst first watch I've been too. Go to the one in Erlanger that's 10 minutes away. No care into making the food

    great food and atmosphere! I had the southwest bowl and my husband had the wings! He said some of…read morethe best he's had!

    I've been wanting to try this venue for several months now. After all, it's only a few miles from…read morehome. Wow! What a super, wonderful pleasant surprise. The usual adjectives of undiscovered gem, etc. apply. It's situated right in a residential community and 60% of their traffic is local. We went on a Saturday evening when they have live music. Love the music. Not too loud or intrusive and you can actually hear your dining compadres during dinner. The patio area looked enticing, too, and we'll try that on a cooler fall evening. Loved the menu options and the drink selections. The smoked old-fashioned was my favorite and our server, Sydney, relished lighting the fire for it. I even ordered another one because she enjoyed doing it so much. Their specialty is brisket and they do it daily on their smoker outside the kitchen. They're also known for their flatbreads and I selected the Brisket flatbread which was absolutely scrumptious. That followed up on the appetizer of spinach artichoke dip which was some of the best I've had. I can't end this review without commenting on our server, Sydney, with whom we conversed at length over the course of 3.5 hours. She's one of the most interesting, insightful, intelligent young women you'll ever meet. Make sure you come on a night she's working! This will definitely be one of our favorite, local 'go tos'.
