A group from our church celebrated a sweet friend's birthday at First Watch during one of their busiest times. Even after several changes to our reservation, Adele, the manager, was incredibly patient and accommodating. Our server, Hannah W., and the entire staff were friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful, and the service made our luncheon extra special. Highly recommend! read more

I enjoy "First Watch". The food is always good, consistently good. The menu is to the point. Good food people eat for breakfast and lunch. Lunch today with my siblings was fun. Our server Ari was a very pleasant young lady with a sweet personality. Her skills were excellent. The establishment is comfortable, neat, clean and brightly lit. I will return often.

The cheesecake and Nutella around the donuts really made it like a yummy dessert. The donuts were a bit dense for us and tasted much better when we reheated as leftovers. Elevated egg sandwich was delicious although I would have preferred it to be more egg than bacon. I would recommend getting on the waitlist as it updates in real time on the website and they were able to sit my small party prior to my time slot being ready in line read more

My dad brought me here for breakfast. We came early around 8:15 am. I was impressed with the pot of coffee brought to the table for the two of us. It was excellent coffee ! We both ordered the turkey sausage and biscuits breakfast. I ended up taking home one of the biscuits and potatoes. It was really tasty. Our server checked in on us at a comfortable time pace. The location is comfortable and clean. Really glad to have been brought here. I'd like to return on the weekend for their brunch. It looks lovely. Definitely will be back. read more

My friend and I came here for breakfast recently. When we walked in, we were told it would be about a 20 minute wait. We were told they were short staffed and unfortunately you could tell they were. The staff were still pretty efficient given the circumstances. This location has a small bar area and those seats are first come, first served. The 20 minute wait ended up being about 45 minutes. Once we were seated, our waitress came over quickly. I ordered a kale tonic juice and the BLT Benedict. I hadn't been to a first watch in quite some time, so I didn't have any expectations. Our drinks and food arrived quickly and everything was really fresh and delicious. Overall, our experience was good. I just hope they get hire more staff soon! read more

UPDATE: I really enjoy coming here and come here frequently since they opened. I am a regular at the one in Mayfield and usually go there but decided to order out from the Willoughby one today by placing an order on the phone. I had my dog with me at the time of pick up and didn't want to leave her in the car by herself so I had called the restaurant asking them if they could please bring my food to my car - they agreed and I had told them the make, model, and color of my car and was very grateful they could accommodate me and my pup. However, 20 minutes goes by and I called and asked them if they were still bringing my food out for me to my car and another women picked up after my phone rang for a long time and said okay yes the girl couldn't find you - which I find odd since I was parked outside in the parking lot at the time I had called her. Then the lady on the phone gets snippy and she's like you know you have to pay right. And I was like uh yeah I was going to give you cash or I can give you my card details. (I was going to let them keep the change for being helpful) and she's like no you would need to come inside to get your change and I can't take card over the phone. Ridiculous. I used to work at a cafe myself and this is common protocol for most cafes. Also the food was cold at this time and I told her that and she's like now you want me to remake it for you and I said to cancel the order instead. It would've been nice to at least give me a call to tell me you couldn't find me or actually come out to the parking lot and look for my car. This business has put me in a sour mood today and I didn't even get my lunch. If you can't accommodate your customers just say that instead of making me wait in my car for a long while and not even let me know. I would've sat there all day. read more

Normally, I do not like leaving reviews on chain restaurants. But I will for this one, considering I did not expect to find a first watch in Cleveland. At first watch, you get what you pay for. This restaurant is the epitome of quality over quantity. Everything is always delicious! The food is hot, the servings are appropriate. my only regret was, I did not get the lunch special which is what my sister ordered. Her turkey sandwich looked amazing! But I could not go without my million dollar bacon. First watch will always have a customer in me no matter where I travel to. As always job well done read more

Do not order delivery from this location. They NEVER include butter, syrup, or the promised and never delivered berry compote. I actually called the store today to personally request these items be included with our breakfast and still they weren't included. A $70 breakfast no one wanted to eat. The French toast was so dry it was literally just toast. Absolute waste of hard earned money. Lazy, rude, brain dead staff. Go anywhere else. read more

Food is OK; for me, it wasn't anything special; ambience is good. Nice place to meet friends. Service was good but the glasses are small.

I will preface with I went the second weekend they were open so of course they were swamped. We had about a 30-minute wait for a 2 top. They do have quite a few waiting benches, which are nice. They have a cute bar with stools, tables, or booths to choose from. It's a very bright, fun atmosphere. It is one of those places where you aren't assigned one server, and everyone just helps out. Everyone was friendly, but a few things slipped through the cracks (refills, a box, water). I think that will probably work itself out when they aren't so busy. The coffees were dessert in a cup but I loved it. We tried the mint mocha and the caramel honey one, and both were delicious! I wanted to order a second, but we didn't get a server in time. Our food was also delicious. We were both impressed with the quality of the food, and it did not take long at all. I ordered the chicki-changa on the breakfast side with breakfast potatoes. He ordered the roast beef sandwich with the salad. The horseradish sauce that comes with it was really good! I'm really glad we checked it out, I will definitely get the chicki-changa again. read more

Just perfect! Always great food and friendly service. I look forward going every chance I get.

They have pretty good food but not worth the high prices. They were very accommodating about a dietary restriction I have though!

Good food, stylish and modern decor. Purple haze is a seasonal drink, and I highly recommend getting it if it's in season. BLT Eggs Benedict is a classic. read more

Food was good, ambiance is fine. The waitress appeared with our check and said we could pay via ApplePay. Great, I did that. I thankfully had the foresight to email myself a receipt. Right after I paid, a different waitress (who was NOT our waitress) appeared and said my payment only authorized for partial payment because she was "splitting the bill". I pulled up the receipt and credit card charge and both showed the full amount. She kept insisting I owed another $30, but would send over the manager. Mind you, my family was ready to go. So we waited and waited and no manager ever came over. So then we asked our original waitress for a manager. She asked why, and I explained. She went to talk to the second waitress who said I owed money. After a few minutes, suddenly the second waitress (again, not our original waitress) said it was all figured out and the manager would cover the missing charge for us. The manager never ever approached our table or ever said anything to us. My credit card was charged the full amount of the check and has cleared any pending charges...so what happened here? This second waitress thought she would get an extra $30 out of me? Just pay attention to your charges if you go here and 100% get a receipt for everything. We won't be back and we won't recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

I have been to First Watch several times, each and every visit, the eggs get to the table cold. They try to "gourmet" every dish instead of making each and all genuinely delicious and authentic, e.g.: Got the avocado toast: YAIKS, NOOOO! so much bad guacamole on top of a soggy toast? and two eggs on the side ( COLD). It's a very popular restaurant in USA, however it's like all fast food, starts good but the process and end is not really great for the price. Coffee , hmmm pretty acid , and service....nothng special. The whole experience pretty platic, CANE ASADA breakfast tacos....really good for a doggie. If one has a good palate, and worldly taste, this chain is only a fast food experience in a kool designed space, young women and man serving, Ambiance? same as any Denny's or old fashion Perkins....etc. read more

Breakfast was quickly prepared and tasty. Server was fast and attentive. Great atmosphere and clean.

Food is always good and the service was fast and very friendly. One of my go-to's for brunch when I'm in the area.

After moving from tx and loving this restaurant we were thrilled when one opened up right here in Eastlake...so missed the eggs Benedict and it was amazing...service was good and they were very busy read more

It's kind of on the pricey side so don't be shocked. Food is okay and service is good it's nice inside.

Nice selection of healthy food items from which to choose. The prices are a little too consistently high. They should have daily/weekly special deals. They cannot cook eggs like over easy or over medium . If you're a big fan of eggs, then don't go there. The ambience is open and cooler than most places. Service was above average. read more

A delicious, healthy alternative to fast food or processed food....this food is fresh and made to order...

Great food. I love that they give you a pot of coffee and a to go cup if you can't drink it all. Very changing menus with seasonal items that are fun to explore. Quick and attentive service. A bit on the pricey side is only reason for a four star. But great place to splurge on brunch. read more

Good good, good service. Who can ask for more? Worth a visit if you live in the area, or passing through.
