We live near the lake but go to First Watch as a treat. I think the food is excellent. I have a suggestion to the owners– teach your waitresses to have an upbeat attitude. The couple of times we have come for lunch, they seem so laid back and in no hurry and really need some coaching on being upbeat and personable. I lay this at the feet of the person who hires them.

We go for brunch every Sunday… Normally to smaller«home town» diners but today we tried First Watch. It was pretty good. Everything about our experience their was good. We were greater and sat right away. Waitress was pleasant with a good balance of work and chat. The order came out in a reasonable amount of time and correct. In the end the food looked and tasted great. I had the key west creppeggs. It was a mix between an omlette and a crêpe. Tasty. Wife and kids were also satisfied with their meal. A little more expensive than other places we have gone to… But still within the budget.

The service was fine but the food taste like it has all been frozen and reheated. This includes the hash browns and the bagels. I do not think I will return

Very disappointed in the bacon today! The server(Stephanie) is great and extremely friendly! I talk to our server and refused to send it back.(I never send food back to the kitchen) The pancakes were great as always! Theres a first time for bad presentation always and i guess today was it.

Food is always consistently good. Staff is always friendly. There’s usually a line but I’ve never had to wait longer than 20 minutes. Pancakes and the chickicanga our both favorites. Be careful not all the locations have to same items. Sometimes online shows something that’s not on the menu,

Finally tried this place for lunch. Why haven’t I tried it earlier? Well, the name and logo turned us off. One of us thought it was a security company, and another thought it was a religious reading room. Yeah… we never noticed the fork. Very clean, nice atmosphere. Lots of healthful options on the menu. I had the Santa Fe salad. It was filled with fresh ingredients, and very tasty. My friend had the quinoa with cherries. Looked incredible. She was very happy with it. Too much to finish, and she took the rest home. The breakfast options looked good; I may try those next. No one tried to sell us a security system, or make us read any tracts. Go figure.

Pretty standard breakfasts but a great place to go to when you want a quick breakfast bite. Enjoy fresh fruit and decent pancakes and many other menu items.

Finally, a healthy, tasty option in the area! The Market Hash was super fresh veggies with eggs and an English muffin with tasty strawberry jam. My mother got the muesli with yogurt and it was also very good. Everything was good and felt very healthy and energizing! I’ll totally be back for brunch that makes you ready to start the day instead of ready for a nap.

From being at other locations, my expectations were met. Friendly fast service. Really good food! I got the Power Wrap with a side of fresh salsa. Really delicious, but simple. Neat, tightly made wrap with egg whites, cheese(Swiss), big chunks of mushrooms and spinach in a sun-dried tomato wrap. I also got fresh fruit as a side and was pleasantly surprised to find each piece was edible — not hard and not flavorless as many fruit cups tend to be. Even the out of season pineapple was delicious. Check online for nutritional information. I haven’t tried it, but they were advertising an app called Nowait that let’s you get on the wait list before you even arrive and allows you to see your place in line when you get close to the restaurant and receive a text when your table is ready so you can be shopping in nearby stores.

A First Watch first-timer here and I can now see why it’s a solid, trusted go-to for delicious and healthy(if you want) brunchiness. We when it comes to east-side traffic madness, my sister and I chose this location over the one off Cedar and I’m glad we did. There’s something about the traffic on Cedar spanning from around the mall down to where all these shopping plazas are near Warrensville Hts. Blvd that makes me want to rip my face off. But this location is a nice reprieve from the utterly horrid drivers on Cedar! Moving on… It’s a chain diner in a strip mall, so I wasn’t expecting anything fancier than an IHOP or Perkins. And I was right, nothing crazy. It was actually a rough-ish start for us with my water glass being dirty and the ladies facilities not being up to par(toilet flusher broken, no paper towels.) But our server handled everything with ease and made the rest of our brunch great. The first thing I noticed when I perused the menu was the HUGE selection of healthy-ish items. Of course I went with the most non-healthy item I could find, eggs Benedict, and it was a great choice. First, there are three ways to enjoy this dish, including an option with avocado and bacon. I went the more traditional route with ham and tomato. I also asked the server to please let the cook know that I really don’t like runny whites(only running yolks!) when it comes to my poached eggs. Not only did she make sure my eggs were perfect, but the dish itself was quite delicious! The hollandaise was perfect, mild and rich(no overly lemony taste!) and the English muffins were perfectly toasted. I also loved the small cup of fresh fruit, featuring only the best fruits(no garbage fruit: melons, haha) and the seasoned potatoes were surprisingly good! Great service, solidly good breakfast foods. I approve!

My new favorite entrée at First Watch is the Chicken Quinoa Pesto Bowl… yum! Perfectly cooked quinoa, with gently wilted kate, shredded carrots, sundried tomatoes, grilled chicken drizzled in a divine pesto sauce and sprinkled with feta cheese. I could eat this everyday:-)

This is a common lunch place for my friend and I. Decent menu with different options. I go with the you pick two. Today I had italian wedding soup that was very good and half a turkey club. I would get both again. I have had the tomato basil soup before and it wasn’t bad! Prices aren’t bad I paid $ 10 for soup and half a sandwich. Staff is friendly, however today our server forgot a few things that we asked for twice. The place can get busy so sometimes you will have to wait.

Love the menu including there very healthy selections. They have an abundance of healthy choices which is right up my alley. I come in here at least 1 – 2 times per week and live a half hour away. It’s my go to breakfast place !!! I love the Tri-athlete meal and my daughter loves her chocolate chip pancake meal! Although her meal lasts her for another town morning breakfasts when we take it home !!!

I had the Cherry chicken quinoa power bowl. It was good! Staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Service is fast. The décor is a little drab but that is the only semi-negative thing. I will definitely come back.

I had the Grilled Turkey sandwich. It was pretty good. Im not sure if it is supposed to be warmer or not but mine was just luke warm it seemed. Although, this sandwich being warmer would not have improved it. I think I just expected it to be warmer. I opted for the chicken chili instead of veggies and the sweetened green tea for a beverage. The green tea is not overly sweet. I enjoyed a few glasses of it while I was here. Price was decent. You do not get as much food as going elsewhere but the quality of the food seemed to be better. I do not think, for example, the food tastes nearly as fresh at Panera. The waitress was attentive and smiled. She took care of the entire table very well. Dishes were cleared quickly and politely. Checks were delivered without asking(i prefer it this way as on a week day i think its safe to assume people are on a lunch break and running low on time). Overall my experience was great with the exception of the crying child in the background. I do not fault First Watch for this but its worth noting that there were quite a few young children in here when we went. YMMV. They have delicious chocolate mints for you to refresh yourself with on your way out. I am enjoying one right now! –1 star because its not perfect. I cant put my finger on it, but its just not my favorite. It is likely that I would return!

Love this place! Love that they have so many menu items with avocado — my favorite! I tried breakfast and lunch items and was happy with everything I ate there so far. The Baja turkey burger is juicy and delicious. The soups and the omelets are great! My husband isn’t the biggest fan cause the menu is pretty limited and the choices are healthy, which means no big burgers and such. So probably not the right place for everyone. But I love it!

This is your typical brunch place. They have quite a few breakfast and lunch items to select from. I got the pumpkin pancake and the works omelet. Both were about the same price(under $ 9), but the works was way more worth it than the pumpkin pancake. The pancake dish came with only 1 slice of pancake and some eggs, while the works had pretty much every typical breakfast items in it(sausage, bacon, mushrooms, etc). Definitely recommend trying the works omelet!
