I’ve been coming to First Watch weekly and it has always been one of my favorite breakfast spots. I typically order the Classic Eggs Benedict and have never had an issue until this visit.
This time, the bread was unusually hard. I assumed it had simply been over-toasted and continued eating. As I finished my last bite, I noticed what appeared to be mold seeping through the bread, including in the middle, not just on the surface. We politely brought it to our server’s attention. He returned and explained that it was residue from the grill, but the discoloration was inside the bread as well, which would not be consistent with grill marks.
As someone who bakes bread at home, I am familiar with what mold looks like. What was most disappointing was that there was no offer to remake the meal, remove it from the bill, or otherwise address the situation.
I have loved coming here, but this experience has made me hesitant to return, especially with my children. I truly hope this was an isolated oversight and that food safety procedures are reviewed.

First time ever being at First Watch. My wife recommended us coming here- She has been to another location and had nothing but great things to say about it. Loved the environment, atmosphere, health conscientious options and service! Be sure to try the bacon, potatoes and pancakes!!! Will definitely be returning!

First Watch remains a breakfast and brunch favorite! The tri-athlete was delicious, especially the yummy mushrooms. Their simple toast and jelly hit the spot. The seasonal lavender and berry compote French toast was a delightful treat – a perfect blend of floral and fruity flavors. Quick service and consistently good food make it a winner. Our server Jacob was attentive and efficient.

This location is on Cornerstone North Blvd and Village Center Dr near the Bagger Dave’s. We went in during a busier time so the wait was only 25 minutes. The food was fantastic, the service was smooth and quick, and we have always loved coming here. I would suggest this restaurant to anyone looking to get a good bite to eat

For a Valentine’s brunch, the on-line “wait in line” function was remarkable. Timing was excellent, food was top notch, service outstanding (Emily in particular) with suggestions, a pleasant demeanor, and always a friendly smile! What’s not to like about that!

The food was horrible
The sausage wasn’t done, the eggs were over cooked, the potatoes were hard. Can’t recommend them

Everything was awesome on my first time here! Food was great and server was awesome. Gent at the front desk was hilarious. Asked him if my mother showed up, after describing her, to send her back towards us. Before I could get the last info out, he said”Send her to Firehouse next store?” I laughed so hard! Great time and great food!

First time here. Highly recommend. Everything was absolutely outstanding. I’m from out of town so my family brought me here. I wish we this restaurant close to home. I’m already planning on visiting another one that will be within an hour of my next trip to Ohio. Yes it’s that good! I’m driving an hour out of the way to visit again. Staff was wonderfully pleasant and helpful. I must say one of my favorites now.
