Walked in waiting for a table and the acoustics were so bad by the door, we couldn't hear each other talk, so we left and went down the street to Cafe Marie where we could understand each other. read more

Very delicious breakfast food! They're one of the best for flavors, but not a first choice due to the prices. Staff is usually pretty good and friendly. Does get very busy on weekends with long waits, just be aware. They also have a lot of items if you have a dietary restriction. read more

First time here and would come back to explore the menu further. I had a sandwich and salad combo (it was a special). Was not crazy about the description of the salad dressing so I got it on the side - and it rocked on my sandwich as it was a mustard base! I can't recall what hubby had but we really appreciated the waitress keeping up with refills on hubby's soda. read more

One of my favorite places to get brunch. I usually just get pancakes or french toast and a side of potatoes, but I wanted to try something new today so I got the summer crab omelet - and it was so good! read more

First Watch - Summer Crab Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Hey brunch babes, So first of all I am a sucker for brunch and have made it a life goal to find all the brunch places in Toledo. With that being said, this was such an amazing find!! The service was great, however the restaurant is usually full so there might be some wait time so if you're not in a hurry, you'll be fine. You should definitely try the "morning meditation" drink; delicious and a great kick start to your day. I have been there twice and the first time I had the avocado toast and the Florida French toast the second time. Portion sizes are great and overall a good bang for your buck. Would 10/10 recommend read more

Family went out to breakfast. The service was wonderful! Food was amazing. We will absolutely will be returning.

The food was fresh and well balanced. Had an omelet with sautéed vegetables, substitute egg whites at no extra charge. The coffee was fresh too. read more

Great place great food. It could be a little quieter and it's always super busy, but otherwise it's a great place to eat.

Food was good but we were missing sauces on our power bowl and side sauce for sandwich. Service was below average, waited a while for missing items. The environment was lacking keep-up. Male bathroom was disgusting, things were falling apart on doors. Our waitress was not very good, she forgot a beverage we ordered. There are better places to spend your money. Gluten free options exist but are lacking. Waited like 15 minutes for our check too. read more

What a fun experience and great service. Rolled in at 9am on a Sunday morning, seated right away & had our food within 5 minutes of ordering! Huevos rancheros & the first watch breakfast with a waffle. Really cool spot, will definitely return. read more

Had heard a lot about this place a lot, finally tried it. Was able to get on the waiting list on line, saved me 10-15 minutes as the wait was about 20 min. The interior and decor looked good. Only one person in the front, was busy with the cash register as it's pay at the front and no host to check you in, waited 5 min before interrupting the cashier to check us in. The menu looked awesome but it turned out to be a little deceiving. The drink we ordered was cinnamon toast cereal milk, was wonderful. Million dollar bacon tasted good too. Got TRI ATHLETE omelette, Salmon Benedict and Barbacoa Benedict. Omelette was good but the Benedict's were horrible, eggs were hard, no runny yolk, very limited Benedict sauce, had high expectations but turned out to be a dud. Server did bring another set of soft dine eggs after 15 min but no sauce or salsa, had to turn it back. Preparation could be better, server was nice, took the barbacoa off my tab after she saw that I left half of my order uneaten, she sure was the saving grace for the place along with the Cinnamon toast drink read more

Great food. Really stellar breakfast menu. Coffee is a Lil strong for my taste. Just fyi. The juices with vitamin shots are incredible

Great food and service. This is not a fancy Restuarant, however the food and service is outstanding.

Nice looking place for lunch with my son. Had an omelet. Was pretty good but a little burnt on the ends. The hash browns and toast are amazing. Great seasoning and how can toast be great? But it was. Horrible service. Yesterday I tipped $10 on a $15 check. Was unusual but I normally might tip $4 or $5. This check will be in the 30s and I might tip 10%. Don't put me in this situation, get someone walking around to check on your customers. read more

Very quick service and great breakfast. Have been here a few times and it never disappoints.

Been there many times and we always get exactly what we went there for,great food and nice service. That's why we will go back. read more

Best avocado toast I've ever had. Very clean and usually always busy. Great service and I've been back several times.

Food was ok but incredibly overpriced. Portions were adequate and came out hot. Not sure I'd go out of my way to go back.

Hip cool place we stopped during our road trip. Great menu selection with lots of healthy options.. I had a fit wrap with turkey mushroom spinach egg white and fruit cup. Yum! read more

First Watch in Toledo, OH was so good! We had the Quinoa power bowl with over-easy eggs & whole grain toast and the special fruit topped French toast. Service was ok (waitress was not attentive) but the food was wonderful. This is not the first time we've been here for breakfast. It's always been good every time. read more

When I heard the name, I honestly didn't realize this was a breakfast place when a friend of mine suggested it. I would describe it as more of a hipster restaurant than your traditional breakfast joint. I ordered an omelette and was surprised when I got greens rather than some type of potatoes (hash browns/potato chunks). It wasn't bad- just not what I was expecting. They offer a variety of dishes to try like breakfast tacos. It's definitely worth checking out! read more

No waiting, arrived 9:30. The hostess with a lovely tattoo sleeve seated us quickly. Food brought out by Alexis with two big smiling eyes. She asked us in a friendly way every few minutes if we needed anything more. She is delightful. read more

We checked in and were told it would be 40-45 minutes. We decided to wait since we had a baby. Multiple people came in and were seated before us. These people checked in online after us but we're put at the head of the line. After waiting 30 minutes we asked and we're finally told about this policy. Once we started packing up to leave other people started asking- they left too. A-total of 7 people walked out at the same time. I will not return. read more

First Watch has quickly become one of my favorite brunch spots! The food is amazing, and fresh. Their iced coffee is extremely underrated- give it a try. On the weekends especially there can be a wait, so either give them a call or check Yelp to reserve your spot in line. My favorites are the Farmhouse Hash with scrambled eggs or the Avocado Toast! read more

I want to love, but my food is never hot! Everything would be good if the food was hot. Staff is always great, good value, but tired of cool food. It has happened on busy days, and slow. read more

The food took forever to arrive to my table. The service felt like no effort given and the ambiance is a very loud atmosphere. Other than that the food was good read more

I ordered one of the potatoes "hash" dishes and asked the waiter for "no onions please". He wrote my request without hesitation and a pleasant demeanor. When the food arrives, my hash is chuck-full of onions. I asked the waiter about my request for no onions and he says "all the hashes have onions", not in a snarky tone or anything, but putting it plainly. Bewildered by the lack of forethought to inform me, or the thought to put in a special request (is a few fried potato chunks really a "special" request these days?) after I specifically asked for no onions, I asked him to simply take the food back, and remove it from the bill. In fairness, he did offer to send out something else, free of charge, but I was soured on the experience already. Everyone else in my party was pleased with their experience, but I wasn't a fan. read more

So, I was really excited to try First Watch but my experience wasn't very great to be honest. The staff and servers were nice but the food was cold. Like it sat in the window for 15 minutes cold. For a 40 dollar breakfast you kind of expect warm food. As far as covid protocols, it looked decent on the surface but I watched the busser handle dirty dishes, not sanitize the tables & then bring out clean glasses and mugs without washing hands. Rolled silverware had fingerprints all over it so I guess they don't wear gloves when rolling silverware :( read more

The food is amazing! Always spot on! Million Dollar Bacon is our favorite . Our waitress super friendly and got our order correct as usual.

So excited that Toledo has a great brunch spot now. This is at the level of a proper city brunch-- amazing food, great variety and selection, and definitely a step up from your greasy diners. I recommend the lemon pancakes, fluffy different than anything you may have had elsewhere and spot on perfection read more

I love Kayla, she is the best server, listens to exactly what I'm craving even if I'm not sure. Kayla double checks our order when it comes out of the kitchen and if it's not right she immediately goes straight to the cook and explains what's wrong and how to correct it. It says a lot when the cooks and other servers respect her. I always request Kayla, she goes the extra mile for her customers and if your lucky she'll wait on you. read more

We have been here many times and this will be our last. We walked in and it was half empty but we were told to wait. We finally got seated and no one wanted to wait on us until I asked. The food was not good, my poached egg was way over cooked and it didn't get replaced until I was done with my food. We had a dirty water glass and she never brought a new one even though we asked. She finally brought the bill then avoided making any eye contact so we finally had to take it up to get paid. read more

The lavender lemonade is the sugariest thing I've ever tasted. I couldn't drink more than a few sips. And that is unlike me. The gluten free club sandwich was very good. The waffles were amazing. read more

1) The veg/fruit drinks were excellent and the servers were very friendly! 2) However, there are no gluten-free entree options according to their allergen menu or the server. 3) The parking lot and building are NOT ADA compliant (NOT handicap accessible). I called ahead to see if this new building was wheelchair accessible and was assured that it was. There are no handicap parking places nearby and it is surrounded by a curbed sidewalk. It was disappointing that the server did not know of a gluten-free meal option to offer, but the drinks were great. read more

We came in here for Brunch the night after the Ohio German American festival, setup wait-list online for reservations (this was good as it was packed that morning, still waited 15 min even when we put our names in 45 min ahead). Long story short, we dined as 2 couples, and the food order had some challenges Primary issue resulted from the fact that the couple with us was vegetarian, and their orders were messed up (meat was included), and arrived very delayed (15-20 min after 1st couple's and food was cooling as we waited). We later found out the wrong orders were brought to someone else's table (?), so the vegetarian orders that came with meat, were then returned. Since it was busy (or rather a side effect of the business) we had very few refills for coffee (and as I'm sure anyone will note, breakfast, you kinda want your coffee ready). The manager came by, apologized and comped the entire table, which was nice as the whole event was just a bad experience with one couple being very frustrated and hungry, and the other waiting for the food and having ours get cold (just being nice I guess). The food was ok, it wasn't anything special, I think given the constraints of the rush that morning (Sunday brunch rush?) they did the best they could and a table's order was simply messed up as it happens even in the best of places. read more

Don't bother with curbside. Placed order on line. Waited about 20 minutes beyond when they said it would be ready and called. It was obvious they were busy so gave benefit of doubt on how quickly order would be ready. Said they would bring it right out. 15 minutes later called again and not as pleasant. Finally food came out. Food was good but COLD. Had now been almost 1 hour from time placed the order. Do takeout or skip them despite big hanging sign facing Secor Rd that says they do curbside. read more
