I cant believe I've never reviewed First Watch. I dont think I've ever had a bad meal at any First Watch. I prefer the solon location the best but have also tried the Macedonia location and one in the Cuyahoga Falls area as well and had good experiences there also. Prices are a little more then the small mom and pop greasy spoon breakfast places. Nothing wrong with those places and I can appreciate those restraunts at times also but you definitely are paying for quality here. Many different selections with fresh flavorful and healthy ingredients. I would reccomend first watch to anyone for breakfast, brunch or lunch. If you like avacodo toast it's very good here. Also for lunch their squash soup is also good.

First watch is a nice little place, with great food. I always try their seasonal foods and have very rarely been disappointed. Try a first watch if you have one near you. The healthy drinks are always unique as well.

Veggie skillet.
Aja G.

This was thee best breakfast I have had in long time! The service was fast and phenomenal. The restaurant staff were cleaning and making sure everything was clean. I had the veggie skillet and it was piping hot and very flavorful. I had brioche toast as a add on and it was freshly baked and toasted. I can't wait to enjoy the food.

Eggs Florentine. Absolutely delicious.

Food and atmosphere were amazing as always. I know this place well because I visit often. People are kind and it's a joy to visit there. We joined the line electronically as I've done many times before. Leaving a bad review based on how rude and aggressive the hostess setting on the right hand side was (blonde hair, cast on right leg). She was condescending and rude on arrival, and literally cut me off midsentence. Ruined the day with family. Gentleman to her right with the white hair is the exact opposite (kind and polite). I don't ask a lot, but manners are the bare minimum if you want people to come back (Sunday, June 4). Please don't offer to contact me, I won't respond.

Grits

I stopped by this establishment before work and grabbed bacon and grits. This was not my first time here but it was my first time trying the "cheesy grits" the grits were so runny and clumpy with a whole bunch of unmelted cheese. Do not recommend

A tons of brunch menus. Very recommended to visit. Foods come very fast and do not need to wait a long queue.

We came to First Watch on Wednesday with the gals for breakfast. The hostess waited until all seven of us were present to seat us. This allowed us to catch up in pairs while we waited. We sat at two large tables pushed together. Adam was our server. He was very warm welcoming and attentive. He brought our table several coffee decaf and regular pitchers, along with water carfes to share. He handled our orders with ease. I had the Hibiscus Limeade to drink. It came with a lime and hibiscus leaf as garnish. It was very light and refreshing. Perfect for summertime! I ordered the Rainbow Toast, 2 eggs over easy, and a side of home potatoes. The Rainbow Toast is off the summer special menu. It is brioche toast smothered with Ricotta cheese, topped with a rainbow of fresh fruit, bunches of granola, then drizzled with honey. Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and mango are the juicy fresh fruit featured. It was a delightful representation of a summertime rainbow! The two eggs were basic diner food cooked right. The home potatoes were big golden chunks. They could have been more well-done. The decor was redone to be a sheek farm-table style. The new shelves and lighting were very attractive!

I've been here twice and the food was really good. We go on our lunch hour. Service is a little on the slow side.

We love this location and the food has a healthy selection although my favorites are the bacon and onion hash and the trifecta.

Mother's Day brunch was tasty!!…read more I can't wait to come back for brunch again. Dessert was lacking but everything else great

It was edible is the best I can say Service was deplorable…read moreWe ordered 2 salads with salmon. They showed up not as listed no sweet potatoes You want food as they advertise it not a surprise when the food is delivered So I ask for the manager. They send out a manager he says he was sorry he would take $5 off each salads and give us 2 desserts So that does t happen. So I ask for the REAL manager So now I get the GM And then the beignets come that he said the first manager said he would give us Why. Why because first he offered a dessert for each wrong order but the he sent out the waitress to tell us that was too much The the beignets come out and they are on my bill They tried to make it right but who sends out the waitress to be the hatchet man ?? Not professional at all The. Before we leave we checked with the bank. Amounts not right So back to the waitress and GM All in all not a good experience. They tried but complete misses the mark They bought out dessert to go but it really doesn't fix the experience and frustration. The food was good but not exactly right and the waitress was very nice trying to help but not her fault. At all. Nice young lady and trying to be helpful. But she should not try to fix what was t her fault I read a number of reviews but service was a less Than good theme This review is not good either What could they do better? Let the servers know what is not available In the kitchen not a surprise at delivery Management should understand when they offer a solution not to change after the offer And they should make sure the charges are correct don't modify a bill close it and redo it I have run restaurants and clubs You want repeat business, make it right

A coworker and I were at one of our facilities nearby and were looking for a decent place to get…read morelunch, neither of us being from that part if town. I always seek out the locally owned, non-chain spots with a lot of cars in the parking lot when not in a familiar place, and Glenwillow fit the bill. We walked in and were a little surprised by how fancy the dining room was - white tablecloths and a very nice ambiance, I almost felt underdressed - but there were guys in work uniforms at a table, and we made our way to the equally impressive bar area. I can only speak to the lunches we had and what we saw some out of the kitchen, but I'd love to go back for a dinner date. Lobster bisque was delicious and came in a large bowl. We both had salads, he the greens and I the Caesar "side" salads. They were huge - these weren't the lunch menu salads, mind you - just supposed sides. I'm not sure I could've eaten anything other than soup with a salad that size! We saw burgers (also massive) and "Flatbreads" that were more the size of a medium pizza delivered to the patrons around us and all appeared excellent. Definitely recommend for lunch, and hope to experience a dinner there soon!

Went for Happy Hour this time. Eight of us showed up at 4 p.m. The waitress greeted us and gave out…read more menus. We ordered drinks while waiting for a couple of others. The Happy Hour menu had a nice selection of light and non-alcoholic beers, special drinks and some wine. My Pinot was $5. The only food item for Happy Hour is the flatbread of the day. Today the choice was Margarita with pepperoni. $7 got you a large flat bread, enough to share. I ordered from the main menu the Bubba Gump shrimp wrap with one side. Was delicious. French fries were good. I took half home. Service was a little slow. We were glad the orders were taken at once, the food arrive all together and we got separate checks. Was very enjoyable.

The restaurant has complimentary popcorn, so that's awesome! They have a nice sized menu with options for a variety of dietary needs, and complimentary popcorn. Service can at times be a little on the slower side, but there are many activities and complimentary popcorn to keep you occupied while you wait! If you stop for a meal in the summer, bring your doggo to their dog friendly patio! Our pup loves Rollhouse, and always gets a few treats and lots of scritches while she's there. Oh, and did I mention they have complimentary popcorn?!

I never leave negative reviews, but our experience at RollHouse was incredibly disappointing,…read moreespecially considering this was supposed to be a special day for my little brother's 7th birthday. We booked a party for him, invited all of his friends and their parents, and expected a fun, organized experience. Unfortunately, the service was practically nonexistent. In fact, I can't even say the service was terrible because there really wasn't any service to speak of. We spent most of the time trying to figure things out ourselves and struggled to get assistance whenever we needed it. What made the situation even more frustrating was discovering that we were automatically charged a 20% service fee. For what, exactly? A service charge is supposed to reflect actual service provided, but we received little to none. Charging customers an automatic gratuity while failing to provide the level of service it implies is incredibly disappointing. When we brought our concerns to the manager, Maria, instead of taking responsibility or trying to make things right, she explained that one of her employees had called off. While I understand that staffing issues happen, that's an internal management problem--not the customer's responsibility. We still paid the full price for the party, including the mandatory 20% service charge. If customers are expected to pay full price regardless of staffing shortages, then the business should still be expected to provide the level of service those charges are meant to cover. Birthdays are important, especially for young kids. Families spend a lot of money to create lasting memories, and unfortunately, this experience left us feeling frustrated rather than celebrated. I hope RollHouse takes customer concerns more seriously in the future, reevaluates its automatic service fee policy, and ensures managers take accountability instead of offering excuses. Based on this experience, I can't recommend booking a birthday party here.

Good vibe for a Friday night and the way it is decorated is done pretty well. Once we were seated we ordered and were served quickly. We got the shrimp appetizer to start. The breading was still good and crispy even with the sauce. Some good heat with a sweet finish. I got the Philly cheesesteak with sweet potato waffle fries and my brother for the morning after burger with French fries. We both enjoyed our choices. They give good sized servings of fries and the burger and cheesesteak were a decent size. I would definitely go back!

ZERO STARS - Don't Waste Your Time or Money!…read more This restaurant used to be decent, but my experience today was completely unacceptable. I ordered two grilled patty melts and received burgers served on soft wheat bread instead of rye. The bread wasn't even grilled, and the sandwiches had cheddar cheese instead of Swiss cheese. The entire order was prepared incorrectly. I called the restaurant to let them know about the mistake, and I was shocked by the response. The owner--not a manager--told me there was nothing she would do and that I needed to file a complaint with DoorDash. DoorDash didn't prepare the food; the restaurant did. What disappointed me most wasn't the mistake itself, but the complete lack of accountability and customer service. Errors happen, but refusing to address them is unacceptable. I am extremely disappointed with this establishment and will never eat here again. The owner's attitude has completely ruined what was once a decent restaurant.
