    Belgium Waffle w mixed berry compote
    Belkis T.

    I had the pleasure of having breakfast this morning at First Watch. The ambiance was nice and family friendly. Valerie is very attentive and welcoming. My food was flavorful and had the right amount of kick. I ordered the "CHICKICHANGA" which is Whipped eggs with spicy chicken breast, chorizo, green chiles, Cheddar and Monterey Jack, onions and avocado rolled in a flour tortilla. Topped with Vera Cruz sauce and a dab of sour cream, side of home fried potatoes. As if it wouldn't be filling, I also ordered a lite and fluffy mouth watering Belgium Waffle, with a side of warm mixed berry compote and powdered cinnamon sugar. A must try place, good comforting food! I'll be back!

    Farmhouse Hash

    I would recommend trying First Watch at least once to see what it's all about, and a second time to see if you like it or not. My 2-star rating comes with a disclaimer: I've only gone there one time - I will try it again and update my review accordingly. From my inner circle, I have heard various opinions about First Watch, from terrible to terrific. I take this information in stride and like to find out for myself. This review is from my experience on February 21, 2025. The reason for the low rating is the food, but again, there's a catch: I ordered breakfast food to-go. This is not something I usually do or make a habit of. The reason is that most food, especially breakfast food, does not travel well. I knew this ahead of time but took a chance anyway. The food was edible, but less-than desirable. I expected more. One item I ordered was the Elevated Egg Sandwich which comes with smashed avocado. The avocado was brown. This indicates to me that it was not fresh. It comes with really unique and tasty toppings, and the bun is divine - I would have preferred fresh, though. The other item was the Farmhouse Hash. The eggs over easy were disgusting. I can forgive quite a bit when it comes to eggs, but these eggs were severely undercooked with a ton of the most undesirable slime. Oddly enough, the outside of the egg was browned. From personal experience of cooking eggs for myself for 40 years, I know what the problem was: the griddle was way too hot for egg cooking. The outside appeared done but the inside was raw (see attached video). The person who took my order over the phone and the person who assisted me when I went to pick up the order were super nice and friendly - so I feel like the staff are polite and personable. Also, you cannot deny the place is clean and well-lit. So yeah, I had a bad experience. It's not the end of the world. I will try again and see what happens!

    Breakfast tacos
    Nary K.

    Ambiance - cozy and comfortable. Service - fast. Food - ok. I had the breakfast tacos. I wished the tacos included two layers of the tortillas because the tacos wouldn't hold. They fell apart very easily. The eggs and chorizo had good flavor though. We also had the biscuit and gravy dish as well as the Western (Cali) hash. They both were ok. Nothing extraordinary.

    Eggs, bacon and waffle.

    I always get the trifecta, which is a waffle, eggs and bacon. Which is delicious. Service is always great, dining area is very clean. I eat inside but you can eat outside. Coffee is always hot and tasty.

    Biscuits and gravy
    Amanda L.

    Such a cute place! Love the vibe. Sat at the bar on a Sunday morning and service was quick and friendly even with how busy they were. Food was excellent. I got the biscuits and gravy with potatoes and scrambled eggs and my girlfriend got eggs Benedict. The potatoes were so well seasoned and crispy. The gravy had a nice peppery kick with so much flavor to it. We loved our meals and will absolutely be back!

    Avocado toast with gluten free bread

    So disappointed with my order today. Had to send it back and pick something else from the menu. The avocado was brown, the eggs were overcooked and dry, gluten free bread was damp. The replacement choice of French toast was " why did I even bother " No powdered sugar,the presentation was blah. Thank goodness it wasn't dry! Will be back to Wash Twp First Watch!

    What I had
    Roger N.

    45 minute wait. Valentine day. Expected. Very slow service, again! Donut holes burned. Bacon not fully cooked in Monterey sandwich. Clean place. Very friendly servers and front door folks. Manager deducted the burned donuts off the bill and apologized pleasantly. Nice place.

    Such a beautifully renovated space! Glad this location is finally open, after taking over the place Bertucci's previously operated. The renovations are apparent as soon as you step into the brightly lit and well decorated dining area that First Watch is known for. We came in for a Sunday morning breakfast early, before 9am. We were sat immediately. I ordered the under $4 pot of coffee that stayed at the table with me, the BLT benedict, and a side of toast with preserved. The food was out quickly and piping hot. I could see steam coming off the black beans that came with my friend's order of breakfast tacos. The benedict was cooked perfectly, had great flavor, and I absolutely loved the side salad with a lemony dressing. It was a bright, fresh, and filling breakfast. The bathroom was bright, clean, and stocked with soap and paper towels. There were at least 3 stalls in the women's. Would definitely recommend stopping in, if in the area.

I have been coming here since they first opened, and it has always been one of my favorite spots. Over the years, the food has consistently been great and I've always had good experiences with the service, which makes yesterday especially disappointing. From the beginning, it seemed like our server had far too many tables and was overwhelmed with the workload. We initially ordered our appetizers, and when she brought them out, we told her we were ready to put in our entrées. She said okay, but then did not return to our table for another 20 minutes to actually take our order. We were left sitting there waiting despite already telling her we were ready to order. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and that servers can be stretched thin. However, the lack of attention to our table made the entire experience frustrating, especially at a restaurant where I've had such consistently good service in the past. Unfortunately, the food was also not up to the quality I've come to expect from Cinder Bar. To make matters worse, after eating there, I became extremely sick with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. I normally wouldn't let one bad experience erase years of positive ones, but between the extremely slow service, disappointing food, and becoming sick afterward, this experience was bad enough that I no longer feel comfortable returning. It's genuinely disappointing because Cinder Bar has been one of my favorite restaurants since they opened, and I have recommended it to others many times. I really hope management looks into both the staffing situation and what may have happened with the food that day, because yesterday's experience was completely different from the Cinder Bar I've known and enjoyed for years.

When he saw my wife and I come in with kids in tow, he immediately entertained them while we had a chance to scope out the menu. As we ordered, he offered helpful tweaks - that seems like too much, if you have picky eaters we can do a grilled cheese, etc. He suggested the best sides and even ran to get the drinks filled at the fountain from the other side of the restaurant. 10/10 service that would have me back even if they served garbage. Fortunately, the food matched the service. My only complaint was that my burger was so juicy it squirted onto my shirt when I took a bite. That said, I'd sacrifice a shirt every time I can here if it meant I'd be treated to a perfectly juicy, expertly cooked patty. The sides were great too, led by the truffle fries. They had the perfect amount of Parmesan, finely grated so you didn't feel like you were just eating chunks of cheese, and the truffle oil was delicious. We also tried the Mac and cheese bites, which were tasty but a bit small if you want to split with more than two. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll find an excuse to get here and have another burger.
