My wife and I had such a great time at First Watch in Columbus! It was the perfect little breakfast date for us. The food came out fresh, hot, and looking so good we almost didn’t want to touch it… almost Everything was full of flavor and clearly made with care.
And Jeff? Man, Jeff understood the assignment. He was attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it, and made sure my wife and I had everything we needed. He even kept the our beverage flowing — which definitely scored him extra points with us!
Great food, great vibe, and top-tier service. If you go, ask for Jeff — he’ll take good care of you. We’ll definitely be back!

Listen here! I had been craving it since my recent visit in September. My food was dee-li-cious! After a long hiatus from First Watch, I have returned to happiness on my plate and my palate. It’s giving my fave, Scramblers, a new challenge…
Our server that day seemed a little hurried. My daughter said her food tasted hard, old and cold… but no complaints though, we stopped in quickly before a meeting and didn’t have time. I did mention it at checkout when asked.

Love first watch – I’m a frequent flyer. I ordered to go while I’m on the road for work. I asked for a receipt, as I need for expenses but was told can’t print one – obviously one small, extra step I am going to have to make through a busy day but haven’t had this issue at any other first watch. Would be nice if this was standard procedure so it would be convenient for us travelers to do our expenses.

I love coming to this location. One reason is the atmosphere, then, the great flavor ( not all locations are the same) but the CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OVER THE TOP. They always have a smile for you coming thru the door. They accommodate me and my family, everytime we come, either alone or with a group. (I’m needing extra things so, don’t mind that last part..I work and eat and the same time) anyway, this is a great spot and they serve you promptly. Everything is hot and it’s like you’re family, it’s great in here so come hungry with work to finish or with friends. Thank you First Watch for being great at what you do every time I come in to dine. Please, continue to smile when we enter in, we all need YOUUUU!

Food was delicious. Our waitress was so kind and helpful. The Morning Meditation was delicious, not too spicy from the ginger and turmeric. The egg sandwich was delicious. Highly recommend the sandwich.

I visit First Watch after working out. The kind of food that I like to eat there is healthy! My favorite are the quinoa bowls, and the basic breakfasts. The weight staff is friendly and they remember what I like to eat. Can’t ask for much more I guess!

I ordered super seed protein pancakes, a cold brew drink, and some million dollar bacon. The protein pancakes came with blueberries, bananas, and some sauces that were absolutely delicious. All for only $10, a great deal for these pancakes. I’ll definitely be coming back just to get those. The service was fun and made the experience more happy. The cold brew drink was good, not as strong as a caribou or Starbucks cold brew. They put whipped cream and a bendy straw inside of my cold brew which was a nice addition. The bacon was dipped in syrup I believe, and was so good. It came with four strips and I could have ate so much more. The person I came with had a BLT with salmon added on per the waiters recommendation, that turned out phenomenal as well. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants a good hearty breakfast. The atmosphere inside was really homey, a lot of wooden fixtures, they put seals on their tables which was interesting. I’ll be coming back ASAP.

They do like a lot of natural items. My husband didn’t notice they put avocado on his sandwich which he doesn’t like and a little space on meat. He asked for bronchi cheddar soup. They brought a substitute without telling him. His experience not good. I like the tomato basil. Our friends were pleased with their salads and speciality drinks.
