    Traditional breakfast
    Shiree C.

    Service was great! Food was excellent. They have a good variety of healthy options and it was good to have a clean breakfast to start the day. Recommend the maple bacon with Cheyenne pepper!

    Summer brisket hash

    Quick and delicious breakfast. I really love that they've expanded their seasonal offering menu and now include breakfast cocktails. I stuck with an old staple, but my dining partner tried the summer brisket hash and thought it was delicious.

    Turkey Skinny

    It was my first time visiting First Watch, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Me and my team arrived as soon as they opened at 7am. The waitress was very nice and seemed to be super excited to be at work (bless her heart....). I ordered an orange juice & the Turkey Skinny - it consisted of an egg white omelet, turkey sausage, cheese, spinach, & onions. It came with home style potatoes and artisan toast with homemade preserves. It was all very tasty! Whenever I'm in the area again, I'm definitely visiting again

    Menu as of 06/30/18

    Oh First Watch~ how I love thee Service is always great, ambiance is typical for a brunch place, lots of windows. Great menu with additional seasonal menu items. Everything that I've tried at first watch has never disappointed me. My favorite is the farmhouse hash with a side of the morning meditation. Be sure to put your name on the online waitlist if you want to be seated sooner!! The wait is usually not that long but on extremely busy days it helps! Really, you can't go wrong with brunch and First Watch is a testament to that. (This is coming from a non breakfast person)...Enjoy!

    What a gem in Ohio! Our family who lives in Ohio brought us here on our last day. The moment I walked in, I knew our breakfast was going to taste really good. The aroma from the kitchen just lingered a delicious perfume. The restaurant does a good job of distancing the tables inside and outside the restaurant. After browsing the menu with many different options, I decided to go with the chickichanga which reminded me of a wet breakfast burrito. The tortillas was wrapped in a egg jacket and envelopes a mix of chicke breast and chorizo. The flavors were outstanding. The meal also came up with a side of fruit and potatoes. I love that the fruit was a good mix of grapes, pineapple, and water melon. No cantaloupe or honey dew...thank goodness! Finally, the potatoes. They were absolutely the best potatoes I ever had. Well seasoned with a nice camelized crisp from the sugars in the potato. I am drooling as I typed this. I would love to come here again!

    We really enjoyed our experience and the food. I brought my 5 year old granddaughter Alivia. We have been taking her there since she was an infant. PJ is her favorite server. They treat us like family.

    Biscuits and turkey gravy, with 2 eggs over-easy, and breakfast potatoes. Mmmmmmmm!

    **** Review 52 **** Always love this place! Staff is friendly, and very attentive. I'm not a coffee drinker, but this is one of the few places where I get it. The omelets are so delicious, I can't seem to get anything else there. All the food tastes fresh, since you're able to get side salads or fruit, and most omelets also come with toast. I will have to force myself to try something other than the omelets next time. But in the mean while, if you're looking for a good omelet, try the Bacado which is made up of Bacon, avocado and Monterey Jack. Topped with sour cream and served with a side of housemade Pica de gallo. Or the Works, made up of Ham, bacon, sausage, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Topped with all-natural sour cream. Can't go wrong with either one.

    Watermelon Juice (Summer special)

    Like the other First Watch locations in the city, this one is good and we enjoy it. It's super convenient because it's not to far from our house. I also love how they have the waitlist option here on Yelp. The day we went that came in handy. When we arrived there were quite a few people waiting but we were seated immediately because I had put us on the waitlist before we arrived. It's an awesome feature on Yelp that works. The staff was nice. However, our waiter wasn't that good. Our food took 30-45 min and she came over maybe once if that within that time. Once the food arrived she came again maybe once and that was it. I definitely only gave her a 10% tip instead of 20% because she wasn't attentive at all. I ordered the Avocado Toast and the Million Dollar Bacon. My husband ordered the Ricotta Pancakes. I really enjoy their Avocado Toast and Candied Bacon. It's the perfect combination, especially when you add the basted eggs that come with the toast. It's so good! My husband always orders the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. The pancake is huge, moist and the lemon custard adds the perfect touch. This is also another delicious dish. You can't go wrong with the pancakes or the toast.

    Chickichanga!

Twice I tried to get a waitress's attention (once she looked directly at me and walked away). There was no spoon to stir my coffee at the table or in the rolled-up napkin. So I got up to grab one myself. When I grabbed a spoon from the empty server station, I got a dirty look from the waitress as she started approaching me. I told her I needed a spoon, but she ignored me. She then asked me to check the silverware roll. I told you. And she walked away. The orange juice was okay. Did not taste fresh-squeezed; maybe the oranges aren't good. I guess I'll keep going to greasy spoons: better service, better food, better price.

A local said it's normal to park at the high school nearby but I'm not sure if that is a legitimate business agreement or not. Space inside is also tight. Not many places to actually sit and eat after you order food. Instead of making the upper level a smaller balcony style seating area, they should have just made it a full second floor. Restaurant order windows are directly in front of tables, so expect to be crowded around if a line forms. There are at least 3 bars as well as a self pour beer tap. The bourbon bar only serves pours of bourbon or wine. The bartender was condescending when I approached to look at the bourbon list so I didn't order there nor will I ever. The main bar has a cocktail list and large selection of drinks. I got a lavender cocktail from their spring menu and it was not good. Too much syrup. Definitely not craft cocktails, more like dive bar drinks. We tried dry rub wings from Bristol's and a taco, burrito bowl, mango salsa, and churros from Roberto & Miguel's. The wings were decent but I'd get them extra crispy if I were to try them again. The food from Roberto's came in very small portions. The bowl was ok, the taco was ok. The mango salsa was very good! Chips were decent as well. The guacamole in the bowl seemed fresh and tasted good. The churros tasted like funnel cakes and needed more cinnamon. We LOVE churros but these were not good enough to finish. We've had better at Aces Pickleball surprisingly. We left hungry. Overall the food wasn't super impressive, the bars lacked quality or good customer service and it was very loud and crowded. Again, it was a Saturday so it could be a little more chill on other days, not sure. Lots of children running around, and party music playing. They need more seating space and better parking. We will try again later down the line to taste other restaurants. So far I'd recommend Factory 52 over this place by far.

Maybe it was because it was 11am? Who knows. What I do know is that Pillsbury makes better biscuits. Order at the counter, they bring you your food. Dirty tables. Lots of staff. No real excuse. Save your money and hit up First Watch, Wild Eggs, or even Sleepy Bee (with some trepidation). At least you get table service and servings worthy of the cost. Maybe it was a bad day?

From the moment I walked in, I knew this wasn't your average breakfast joint. Their {unique-feature} - let's call it the palpable sense of genuine Southern hospitality mixed with a modern, quirky vibe - immediately sets the stage. It's like your cool grandma's kitchen, but with better coffee (more on that later!). But let's talk about the star of the show: the Biscuits n' Gravy. Oh. My. Goodness. Forget everything you think you know about this Southern staple. This was next-level comfort food. The biscuit itself was perfectly fluffy on the inside, slightly crisp on the outside, and had that subtle buttermilk tang that just makes your soul sing. And the gravy? Forget the bland, floury stuff you get at some places. This was a country gravy, rich, savory, and clearly made with love. The flavors were so spot-on, so perfectly balanced, that when the manager asked how I was enjoying my meal, I practically gushed about the flavor profile! He proudly explained that they make it fresh, on-site, every single day. Amazing. Seriously, I even asked for more gravy (and I'm not ashamed!). The chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy. The welcoming atmosphere is the real deal. It's not just about saying "hello"; it's about making you feel like you're part of the Maple Street family. It's the kind of place where you instantly relax and feel comfortable lingering over your coffee (which, by the way, they have a whole coffee bar with assorted flavors!). The excellent service just seals the deal. From the friendly cashier to the attentive staff refilling my coffee, everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there and eager to make my experience a great one. The manager, especially, was incredibly nice and clearly takes pride in his team and the food they're serving. It's clear they've cultivated a positive and supportive work environment, and that translates directly into the customer experience. For the price, Maple Street Biscuit Company is an absolute steal. Whether you're a couple looking for a cozy brunch spot, a family needing a satisfying and affordable meal, or a die-hard food enthusiast searching for the perfect biscuit, this place delivers. Trust me, folks, this isn't just breakfast; it's an experience. Go. Now. You won't regret it.
