    Honey Chicken Chipotle Hash
    Mary Lynn J.

    Sheyniqua is a very nice person and a great server. She checked on us, asked if we had any questions. Brought out the food promptly. First Watch has a good selection of foods. But their seasonal menu is fabulous. I had the honey chicken chipotle hash. It was worth the trip. It is huge and I am glad I liked it because I am having it for lunch too. The restaurant was clean but as with most restaurants, cold.

    No prices on drinks!!!!

    Better experience on 2nd Watch. Brunch was fairly busy & we sat ourselves at the bar. The server at bar was very sharp & did a good job. Thorough! The roast beef sandwich w/ soup was a decent deal for the size of the sandwich & toppings. Didn't love the horseradish so glad I got on side. Bread was super crispy w/ toasted cheese on it. The vegetable soup was ok. Wish it had beef & not so heavy on corn. Wife liked French toast w/ all the fruit toppling. The warm syrup & jam complimented perfectly. Bananas were bit over ripe & dominated. Prices were a bit high at $26 for brunch for 2. Food came sorta fast. All was clean & tidy.

    Watermelon wake up
    Thomas L.

    Been here numerous times since its opening. Heard it was originated from the South. The menu is so electric and changed for the season. I've never had a bad experience or a bad plate of food. I've gotten something different every time and it always hits. The juice bar is fabulous. Always refreshing and healthy. They have alcohol as well but it never seems the right time when I'm there. The Watermelon Wake Up and the Kale Tonic are my favorite. The Million dollar bacon should be illegal it is so good. The only small almost negative thing I could say is that, most of the food and menu is farm fresh and caged and healthy, which is great but it does tend to raise prices a little bit. You are paying for great service and food so it totally makes sense. A solid 9.3 out of 10. Give it a shot.

    Purple Haze
    Emily T.

    A little pricey, but the food was delicious. I really enjoyed my chickichanga, which was covered in a flavorful Vera Cruz sauce. The Vera Cruz sauce at First Watch is not to be confused with the tomato-based veracruz sauce. The sauce at First Watch was like a tasty hollandaise. The potatoes were also well-seasoned and well-cooked. I also liked my Purple Haze drink, which looked and tasted good. It was sweet and refreshing. I wish it came with free refills but alas. Service was also friendly. Though it was busy, our waitress came to check up on us a few times and refilled our waters. The restaurant was clean. Because it was packed with people, it was loud and somewhat difficult to have a conversation. Note - You pay via a QR code by default. If you want to pay another way, you'll have to go up to the front

    Care asada breakfast taco special. Kale juice so yummy and coffee of course.

    Jadyn at the breakfast bar was awesome, friendly, checked in without being pushy. The food is incredible as always. Just love this place. I never want to go to an ihop or dennys again.

    This is a hard review to write! I had an absolutely wonderful meal with my husbands and friends, but my husbands meal was good not great and our waiter was ok but far from friendly. I had the best avocado toast with scrambled eggs and shared a side of potatoes. My husband had the turkey breakfast wrap. He said it was good but the mushrooms were not cooked through so the water was making the whole wrap soggy. The bar area was adorable...never have seen that before.

    First watch always has fresh, local produce on their menu. Their fall seasonal dishes are so delicious. I also really like the big selection of juices.

    Pineapple Express
    Natalie F.

    OK let's first start with the atmosphere. I'd give it a 4.5. Very pretty, decorated cute, decent amount of seating, a little loud though. We stopped in about 11am on a Saturday and had a 20 minute wait to be seated. It took a little for our waitress to come by as well. But once the order was placed the drinks and food came out in an acceptable amount of time. However it did take a while to get the check. Now for the food. There is NOTHING vegan. I repeat, NOTHING VEGAN. Yes there are vegetarian options but nothing vegan. So I sat there with a bloody mary, minus the bacon, yet still paid the with bacon price . My daughter got 2 eggs, a waffle, and 2 pieces of sausage. She said it was good and did enjoy it. We also got the pineapple express drink (pass) and she got an iced coffee (loved).

    Chickichanga with million dollar potatoes
    Jackie G.

    A great place for brunch. Food was delicious, juice was fresh, ambiance was rustic but a little loud and very clean. Service was quick and polite. A little on the pricey side for breakfast food and portions weren't huge but everything seemed to be high quality. Definitely recommend the million dollar potatoes. We got an order of their donuts to go and were surprised to see a fifty cent "supplies fee" on our receipt for it. Will probably be back in some time.

    Crunch Breakfast Tacos
    J E.

    Several of us came in for breakfast on a Saturday morning... getting there around 8AM, they weren't busy at all and we walked right in and got seated immediately. But by the time we left, they were packed. Menu is the typical menu at FirstWatch restaurants and was decent. I tried their crunch breakfast tacos and they were good. Coffee was good as were the other items we all enjoyed for breakfast. Service was decent and the place was clean and nicely decorated. Restrooms were clean and well-stocked as well. Overall, another nice visit to a First Watch.

    What a cute place with great service ! My waffle was perfectly flaky and paid with jam and whipped cream. We also trie the blueberry lemon cornbread which is to die for!! And I could eat all day!

    The food was good, I ordered the pumpkin pancake breakfast. The service was incredibly mediocre if not bad... they seem to be relatively well staffed in the kitchen and the front so it just did not add up. The ambiance was alright, definitely loud but makes sense with every table being full. Very little wait time even though they were busy which is always great!

I stopped in last minute while out running errands. I was seated immediately on a busy Saturday late morning and greeted right after. The menu is fantastic. Great options, wonderful seasonal specials. (Short rib omelette?! Hell yes!) I wanted basic, so I built my own omelette with a side of bacon and a hot tea. They have a great drink menu- coffee, specialty cocoas, tea, cocktails, mocktails, and refreshers. I was on my way to see a friend, so I grabbed us each a refresher to go. My meal was out in just minutes. Expertly prepared, fresh and delicious. Also a very nice portion. Sourdough toast was excellent. Generous filling for the omelette too. The only drawback was a common plight for strip mall restaurants- entrance that opens straight into the dining room. No foyer or vestibule means the cold January air nipped you in the face every time that front door opened. On cold days, get a table in the back. I'd like to highlight the mocktail concept, too. I often want a spirited drink but don't imbibe booze often. I love that they have offerings. The entire staff was so nice and helpful. I can't wait to come back!

The facility is far bigger than I thought it would be. They have a central restaurant with multiple party centers on either side. It's a really BIG facility. New, modern, and quite attractive. With plenty of convenient parking. The wall of the restaurant that faces Cleveland Hopkins Airport is all glass. It affords you quite an impressive view of the airport and the planes landing. The staff we met was pleasant and efficient. Our server, Mina, did an excellent job all night. If there was a weak point, it would be the food. It was not bad (I'm trying to be kind); it was just uninspired, limited, and not really well prepared. Because they do not offer bread for the table our only option was to order the "Soft Pretzel". It arrived badly overcooked, crunchy not soft, and even boardering on burnt. The charcuterie board was OK, but uninspired. I ordered the "Lemon Chicken" which was a full half chicken in a reasonably good sauce. But the meat was dry and it came only with brussel sprouts (yuk!). My wife had the "Walleye" which she simply said was "okay"... oh well. Our guests weren't any more impressed than we were. I will say our coffee and "Pot de Creme" were very good... thank goodness.

We started strong with a French 75 and an Old Fashioned--both expertly crafted, but that Old Fashioned? Smooth, balanced, and memorable enough to set the tone for the entire evening. Wednesday happens to be Wing Day ($2 whole wings), and we took full advantage. We sampled Buffalo, Sweet & Tangy BBQ, Lemon Pepper Dry Rub, and the undeniable star of the show: Garlic Parmesan. Each had its own personality, but that Garlic Parmesan was simply elite. Service was impeccable--Emily was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our experience flowed as effortlessly as the cocktails.

Simple menu items, executed with intention. We closed the evening the same way we began--together, with one final round of Old Fashioneds. A Happy Hour well spent. A celebration well honored. A 14-year journey still taking off.
