Great food! Enjoyed my visit, although my server seemed to forget about me towards the end. Would definitely return for the Belgian waffle alone! Hostess was the standout...very welcoming and sat me at the window on a gorgeous day. Coffee was outstanding and they had a variety of creamers on the table. Location is great, as I was able to take a walk through the mall after my meal. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I met some family for a celebration breakfast the other day and could not have been happier with our visit. From the minute we stepped in, everyone was welcoming and friendly. Our server Julia was outstanding. She treated us like old friends and made my day feel even more special. I was graduating ugh my Masters degree and when she found out, she had the staff sign a handmade card for me with well wishes and congrats. That kind of care is SO special!! Food was outstanding - how did I sleep on those skillets?! Def a new favorite. The special juice blends are worth it too. Really refreshing. Love this space. It's cozy and never crazy loud even when it's busy. This is my favorite location by far. read more

Ordered to go yesterday, food was wonderful we got some of the limited items, and an omelet. We ordered online so I cannot comment on cleanliness or staff. They did forget our silverware so that is the only thing that would've altered my review, but the tasty food makes it read more

Good service and I loved my food. My dining partner also liked hers. I ordered the quinoa bowl b/c it had a reasonable number of calories, was "real" food and looked filling. It turned out to be delicious - much better than I expected from the list of ingredients. read more

Came here for breakfast. Overall a good experience. I got the avocado toast. We also had the healthy turkey. I was very happy with our food. Our waitress was attentive. The table was not clean when we first sat down and they had to clean it again. I really like their menu. Many options to chose from!! Update- I've eaten here a few times since and the tables have been clean! read more

This is always a solid choice for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Service was slow today but our server was working hard with the tables she had, not her fault. Pancakes are very good. The salted caramel donut balls on the seasonal menu were amazing, 10 out of 10. I had the million dollar breakfast sandwich and it was good but I thought the hot honey would be spicy and sweet and it was just sweet which was a turnoff for me. It was still good but I wouldn't get it again or I'd ask for no honey and maybe I misread the Dave's honey part. Turkey sausage was fine that my son had, he loved it and I thought it was fine for turkey sausage. We will go back for sure. read more

Since retiring in 2017, I hadn't eaten in a First Watch until November last year (2022). Since then, the Worthington location of First Watch has become a favorite place for breakfast meetings. Service is always excellent; they're quick to bring coffee and they always leave the carafe for easy refills. This is a breakfast/brunch/lunch place and it closes at 2p. I'm usually here for breakfast and usually opt for either one of their verision of eggs benedict or one of their omelettes. Food is always served quickly and is always hot and delicious. read more

Menu did not have a lot of variety and was not worth the money. Service was generally quick. Ambiance was good.

First watch was an excellent experience. The drinks and food were really good however, my fiancé did notice after her drink was finished a hair on her lemon, which did not go well but service was awesome. We just asked that staff be more mindful of their hair getting into customers food. read more

Always a good choice for breakfast! I had avocado toast. The bread was so thick but Saturday and soft; very good! There was so much avocado on top, most have been 2, maybe 3 avocados worth lol! I do wish it had tomatoes as it was missing something. My mom had the French toast and said it was her go to, and my sister thought she would have leftover omelette and did not! My niece finished her bacon, which doesn't sound impressive but believe me, it is. The coffee kept coming and service was great. read more

Have not been to the First Watch in Wortington in a while. My friend who had only been to the one in Kingsdale, enjoyed herself. I got the Works Omelet without Sour Cream and never disappointed with it, I got the toast with jelly and potatoes that sticks into you and washed down with Diet Coke and water. She got the Eggs Benedict, but requested regular Bacon instead of Canadian Bacon and loved the coffee with her meal. The server was excellent and got our drinks to go after we both ate. I enjoy going to First Watch in Wortington, but will still go to other First Watch locations when needed. Thank you so much. read more

Pricey but delicious! A unique menu that has healthy and not quite so healthy options! Their million dollar bacon and specialty cornbread were unbelievably good! We had those for appetizers however it should be noted that the meals we ordered were Sonia's well! read more

First watch is always my go to place in Columbus fir breakfast whenever I visit the food is always great I always get the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon which I would definitely recommend 10/10. Service is always good, And yesterday it was even better than any other time I went there in the past our waitress went above and beyond with a smile on her face the whole time. I would definitely recommend this branch of u are in the area but u need to reserve a table before hand because they always have a long wait so download their app and reserve ur place in line before u get there. read more

I already reviewed First Watch awhile back. I still consistently come to First Watch at least once every few months. Their delicious and unique breakfast & lunch choices are really hard to find anywhere else. I come in here craving a Havarti Sandwich, but I always end up trying something else that catches my eye. This weekend I had their Market Hash which consists of two eggs any style atop fresh, seasoned potatoes, roasted Crimini mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, baby spinach, melted Mozzarella and herbed Goat cheese. It comes with whole grain artisan toast. This may be my new go-to! Additionally, to make things even better. They serve alcohol now! Not like beer or anything, but a small option of about 4 cocktails. I tried the Morning Glory and the Coconut Rum drink (I can't remember the name sadly, that was my favorite). read more

One of the oddest layouts of a First Watch I've ever seen. It's curved with a low ceiling. It looks like it was updated recently and has some cool furniture and fixtures/artwork. Our server greeted us right away and took our drink order. We told him that the WiFi wasn't working, but he didn't seem to care to look into it for us. We ordered the Tri-Athelite and the Roast Beef Sandwich with Vegetable Soup. Both were good, but the soup was not hot. We were seated in the front of the kitchen and the place looked like a mess. The automated toaster had toasted bread piled up and just sitting at the bottom of it for the duration of our visit--that was a bit odd. The staff seemed a bit too casual here and not very professional. The one waitress kept cutting between our tables when serving her own tables in the back. That was annoying as she brushed by each time. read more

In what might be the most ridiculous experience of my life, I was removed from the waitlist 2.5 minutes after being told my table was ready via text message. Let me explain: This location is relatively busy and the line for the hostess stand is frequently out the door. When I got my text, like a good girl, I returned to the hostess stand to claim my table. BUT the line prevented me from quickly getting to the front. Unless I wanted to start throwing elbows, I was at the mercy of the line. When I finally got there, a startling 30 seconds late, I was told I was removed from the waitlist and would need to be added again and start over. I do appreciate efficiency, but maybe given the logistics of the restaurant they should consider lengthening the time to respond. I will say I don't blame the hostess who isn't in charge of these decisions and who was kind when I admittedly responded in a frustrated manner. read more

Food was amazing! Waitress was nice even though the place was full. Custom ordered my chorizo omelette. I got chorizo on the side and substituted the cheese to goat cheese. Best combination I have had there so far. We got crispy potatoes as ordered. Bread was nicely done. Banana pancakes was good but still like the multigrain pancakes better.We got the million dollar bacon as an appetizer it was awesome if you like sweet with your bacon. Love to come to Columbus and eat here for brunch! read more

I am a big fan of this place. Food is great service is great. They focus on what they do well. Family oriented. Most customers are regulars.

Busy at all the right times. Dishes include some quirky combinations to appease pretentious types with eclectic tastes. It's a high volume place so the food is good high volume fare. Seasonings are just beyond bland. Food Servers are efficient. read more

I've been to a few different First Watch locations and they are all very consistent. Quality food made with great ingredients. I haven't found anything yet that I haven't loved, but my all-time favorite is the lemon ricotta pancakes. They are so fluffy and light with the right amount of lemon flavor, served with strawberries on top. Oh, and don't forget to add the million dollar bacon on the side to whatever you order! You have to. It's a must. It'll change your life. This bacon is incredible. In terms of drinks, the kale tonic is very refreshing. The coffee is also superb. Make sure to ask for a to-go cup to enjoy after you leave the restaurant! Pro tip: I'd be sure to check out the wait times before you go (on the app here) in case you need to put your name down if there's a long wait. Overall, this is a great place to go for brunch. It's on the pricier side so factor that in. But it'll provide a great overall experience. read more

"Healthy" is what comes to mind any time that anybody asks me here for breakfast and I LOVE it!! The food is always so delicious and can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The seasonal choices are my favorite!! Tried the Pumpkin pancakes this time, as well as the short rib eggs benedict were absolutely perfect. The flavor was absolutely incredible with the combination of tastes and textures in this dish! Also, side note: they have silk non-dairy creamers for their coffee now...so i'm ecstatic. read more

Great service. Breakfast variety of tasty options. Lunch salads and sandwiches are large portions.

Would be 5 stars but you can usually smell their bathrooms from the restaurant - think sitting over a hole in the ground

I just had the best service I have ever had at a First Watch in Ohio! From the gentleman who seated me to the woman busing the tables (that noticed I needed a fresh napkin), every single person was genuinely warm and welcoming. My server Mia was stellar! She spoke to each person she encountered with a positive and inviting attitude. The food was excellent as always but the cheerful atmosphere made my day. There are 5 First Watch locations within ten miles of my house (3 are closer) and I will return here first when I go out with friends or family! read more

Very solid breakfast spot. The salmon frittata is great!(Ask for extra sauce) The breakfast tacos are also extremely good and decent size. Would highly recommend the breakfast potatoes on the side! read more

This is a cute little breakfast spot. They have a couple of specials which are worth checking. My husband got their featured watermelon juice and hash of the month which he enjoyed. I had the breakfast tacos, which were above average, but not notable. The prices are fair and the menu is good. This is a solid spot for breakfast or brunch. read more
