Bloody Mary
Danelle B.

Spacious spot, great waitstaff, delicious and healthy food options. Bloody Mary is fantastic!

Hawaiian French Toast
Travis L.

This place has a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and attentive. There are lots of good options on the menu and they have a rotating seasonal menu. I ordered the Hawaiian French toast from the seasonal menu. It was very good. Like liked the crunch from the crushed gingerbread cookie.

I already knew I loved the food gere,everything is always exceptional and consistent across all locations. But what really impressed me at this location was the speed of service. My waiter was attentive and ready to take my order as soon as I was ready. Then the whole meal came out beautifully plated in easily less than 10 minutes. I'm used to waiting for way too long at other brunch places, so this was a very pleasant surprise!

Silver and Gold Seniors Group monthly brunch at First Watch, Mason OH location

Manager, Mary Southard, offered her restaurant in Mason, OH as a monthly gathering spot for our Silver and Gold Seniors group. The accommodation and service for our large group has been nothing short of amazing. We were initially offered BOGO coupons and free appetizers, but that seems to have ended. But we all agree that the menu offerings are varied and perfectly presented. We will continue meeting there for now.

Lovely breakfast/brunch place!!!! Was so sad when Maplewood closed their location around here, and then so happy when we saw First Watch coming to Deerfield! It is very spacious, we got a table within 20 minutes on a busy Saturday, and we loved that they have outdoor seating where they allow you to bring your dog! The service was excellent. The food is reasonably priced, great portions, and delicious. Loved the smoked salmon eggs benedict, also had the market veggie sandwich to go and it was fantastic - filled with delicious fresh crimini mushrooms. Can't wait to come back!

One of the best breakfast places I've been to in a while! Great quality and delicious food! Yummy coffee choices too! We had a big party and service was great!

Personally, I thought the regular amount of chicken was fine, but he is trying to maintain his weight, so..... Flavors? Yum!! Really plentiful portions and Tasted great! Perfect portions, great taste! (redundant, Who cares!) Nice vibes! Lighting, ambient volume, comfortable seats (not real cushiony but nice) Definitely worth a return visit! I'd recommend it to friends for sure.

Although I like the Buddha bowl, thought I'd try the Northstar burger and chicken avocado sandwich. Today was a particularly warm day for March so they had the windows open which created a nice breeze. The line took a bit of time to get to the front but the staff was extremely nice and was able to make substitutions. There a lot of seating so whether you are a party of 1 or 8 there's plenty of areas to eat. The food took about 30 minutes to arrive with the kitchen backed up. There's a self serve water station so we relaxed and took in the ambiance. There's food emphasizes fresh ingredients and the burger and chicken sandwich did not disappoint. The burger is vegetarian friendly and comes with a good portion of kale slaw. The chicken sandwich was stacked tall and super filling. Would recommend to try!

Yawn... Another…read morecorporate bruch spot that over promises, under delivers, and seems proud of it. Dry and NOT flaky biscuits. Sausage gravy that tastes heavily of flour. 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? Maybe they've only been open a short while? Who knows. We won't be back.

Okay, biscuit lovers, I just had a religious experience at Maple Street Biscuit Company in…read moreColumbus, Ohio, and I need to tell you about it. 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.

There are tons of different options, the service is friendly and helpful & the vibes are great! The blueberry pancake is huge & the compote on it tastes awesome!

There was a bunch of smoked salmon, but it was meh--one of the driest benedicts I've ever had. Coffee was good. 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.
