The only good things I will say about First Watch is...The waitress was a sweetheart and the watermelon wake up and bacon were delicious. The rest of my food was not was worth the $50+ spent. I was asked how I wanted my eggs cooked and I replied scrambled over easy...They came out way overcooked both times. I even tried mixing them in with my cheese grits but it didn't help at all. The worst was at the end, the cashier was rude and lacked customer service skills. All in all it's a NO for me. I will not be be returning.

I don’t normally write reviews but this place is so good, I had to.I had the Traditional Breakfast (see photos). First I was pleasantly surprised that I was served up an entire pot of coffee as standard procedure (see photo)! Also, an entire carafe of cold water.With the name “First Watch, this must be headed up by a fellow veteran - military vets just do things right! My breakfast was outstanding (see photos). Bread seemed like it was fresh made this morning - yummy preserves served in side cup. Bacon was meat and just enough fat. Eggs were perfect. Potatoes were fresh and seasoned correctly.Jennifer, whom served me was excellent- what a great smile : )I am definitely coming back to try some of the unusual items on the menu. Best breakfast and service in Columbus! Thank you First Watch!

First time every going here. Husband was very pleased with the crab cake Benedict and poached egg that had Sriracha sauce. The “artisan toast” was what I got most excited about. It was the best toast I have ever had in my life. Reminded me of a whole grain bread toast my grandma used to have that was so good. I’m so glad we tried this place!

My son and I love coming here for a brunch date on Sundays. They're normally extremely busy so there will be wait times (we normally wait 30-54 mins in our car, they text when a table is ready). The food is high quality (thus a little on the pricy side) and very enjoyable. The Purple Haze drink is our favorite. I normally have one of the Benedict's but opted for the Farmhouse Hash this time. It was very good and filling. The million dollar bacon was very good as well. I highly recommend this place if you don't mind a wait.

Ordered the “Good Morning” Pack for two for takeout on 3/26, imagine my surprise when opening our fresh fruit tray and seeing not-so-fresh fruit (grapes) in offering… makes me question whether I would like to revisit in the future.

Amazing breakfast with lots of options! Definitely a standout breakfast joint. Something for everyone. Lots of healthy options. Very large portions. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very friendly and prompt.

Absolutely love First Watch! The service had been excellent each time I've gone, which is three times so far. Most likely four after this coming weekend ? each time I try something new and am not disappointed. The juices are delicious and the coffee is always full and hot. A definite recommendation for anyone, especially for those who have friends/family visiting!

Busy breakfast/ lunch spot. Even though we had reservation, still had to wait for a table.The food was good, though the trailblazer bowl that I ordered was lacking some kind of sauce, would be nice if they offered some on the side. I came in very hungry and left still a bit hungry.

Always great food and service! Call ahead or expect to wait but it’s worth it!

Food and service was delicious. It was my birthday so decided to go somewhere new and enjoy with family.
