Review First Watch - Cincinnati

Best experience yet at a First Watch. Everything was more than good....from the service to the food.

We, a group of five friends, had breakfast/brunch on a Tuesday. I had Eggs Benedict with spinach and avocado. It came with a side of greens that was lightly covered with a dressing. I really enjoyed the selection. My friends each had something different and enjoyed their choices. Prices were reasonable. There were food options for people with allergies or with dietary/health restrictions...with no additional charge. Service was quick and efficient. Our needs were met in a timely manner. Although the place was busy, it didn't seem chaotic at all. We were able to enjoy our meal, sip our drinks and chat for approximately 90-120 minutes without feeling rushed. A great dining location with something for every taste.

Our server, Deb, was friendly and made the atmosphere that much better. My Cinnamon toast drink was so incredible, I'm picking up the ingredients on the way home. The food, as always, phenomenal and a great price! HAPPY SUNDAY!!

Food is delicious and the service is good but most of the time I go there they forget something in my order, this time was the bacon and the last time I ordered something chicken and they forgot the CHICKEN.

My family and I ate here for the first time a few days ago and we were so impressed. We got plenty of food for our money. Each dish was satisfying and flavorful. The gluten free bread was good and I really liked the chicken sausage as well. We will visit the franchise again.

We're just a visit or two shy of being 'regulars', with good reason. Always fresh food, friendly staff and great environment. Today, I'd like to thank the person that paid for our breakfast. I was just doing what someone should do for anyone else; helping. Being kind. Respecting my elders. More specifically, Bob. A nearly 95-year-old World War II veteran. I learned in a brief encounter, that he also likes his coffee hot and with cream. He has a touch of OCD and he likes syrup on his pancakes. I'm actually hoping that writing this review, that an employee, or someone reading this, knows Bob or Bobby, as his dining companion referred to him. Bob walks a lil bent, slowly and with a cane. He's someone that I would like to find and be a friend. I would love to take the time to hear the stories and memories of someone that has been around since 1928! Very few people are granted that kind of lifetime. I was 35 years old when my mother passed away, she was 55. I have a respect for life and see things different than others. Becoming "elderly" isn't for the faint of heart or of weary body. I respect Bob for having done what so few get the chance to do. If someone could help me find Bob, I'd be so very appreciative. Thank you again to the anonymous person who saw me doing what I do; being kind to another person the way I'd want others to treat my loved ones and myself. I hope we get to run into Bob again, but in case, I'm putting it out there, if you know Bob, please RO to me. Have a blessed day!

First time eating here. It was a little crowded but that was expected being that it was a weekend. Glad they let you join their waiting list online. The food was fresh and tasty.

Good quality food.. lots of healthy options. I highly suggest whatever the seasonal options are

I always had the best experience with breakfast or brunch here. Kale juice is super tasty, pan cakes are huge. Chikichangas are the best and must try.

Very busy for brunch but the service was still fantastic 👌

Immediately seated and waitress was there in less than a minute with hot fresh coffee, which was bold and delicious. The watermelon wake up was refreshing and well worth it. We had the Chickichanga and Parma Hash Skillet and ricotta lemon pancake. We were impressed with the flavors in all the dishes. The toast was exceptional.

I got there at 9:30 AM and had to be out by 10 AM for an appointment. It was pretty busy, but they served me right away and got my delicious food from the fall menu out quickly. I had no problem getting to my appointment on time!

This place is very busy due to delicious food. But the service was excellent. I had the French Toast, Farmhouse Hash Skillet. It was very delicious and Yes I would recommend this place to anyone..

Took a few people to breakfast. This place is consistent and friendly. I personally like the Chirizo omelet. Everyone enjoys the fresh fruit and atmosphere. It is a go-to place for work breakfast.

Food and service have NEVER disappointed!!! Must try!! From the first sip of coffee with requested fresh cream, you swear your grandmother got up ground those beans fresh before brewing! The food is so amazing you almost have a mothgasm! If you know you know! Must try this place

I always enjoy First Watch and today was no exception. Good service and an excellent breakfast. My husband had the Elevated Egg Sandwich--comes with avocado and arugula and is a new favorite. My Sunrise granola with fruit and yogurt is a delicious way to start the day.

Always pretty busy, but they somehow always get the food cranked out quickly! The food tastes fresh and always delicious!

Sat on your patio this past Saturday. The service David provided was exceptional. He was attentive but not too much. He was pleasant and didn’t miss a beat.

The food here never disappoints. Beautiful presentation & top quality. Staff are so nice. One minor suggestion: PLEASE use some kind of filtration system for the water you serve. It tastes & smells pretty bad. People at table next to us mentioned also. I usually only drink water, so it's a problem for me.

The menu is very inventive and there's a big focus on healthy eating. I had the kale tonic which was refreshing, and the chili chorizo omelet which was tasty. Nice salad to accompany it too. Great, friendly service too. My only criticism is that for such a "health-conscious" restaurant they don't have any non-dairy alternatives for milk �

This place is awesome!! Excellent service!! Excellent food!! All around an excellent experience!!

I just had "sort of" Breakfast at First Watch at Harper's station. It was probably the worse breakfast I have ever had. I just asked for 4 eggs scrambled lightly and plain Oatmeal. What I got were hard tough scrambled eggs with what looked like parts of the dirty grill mixed in. The plain Oatmeal I asked for had Banana's on top of and in the Oatmeal " which I am allergic to" with a bunch or other stuff on the side which didn't really bother me but seems like a bit of a waste of food. I said to the waiter this is not plain Oatmeal and he said "That's how our plain Oatmeal comes, is there any anything else I can get for you"? Really? Your plain Oatmeal comes with Banana, Cinnamon and milk? I took a couple of bites of the eggs but couldn't get past the chunks of dirty grill bits and I also tried to scrap off the top layer of Oatmeal to try and at least eat some of it. After about 30 seconds and two bites I decided I was not going to eat that crap, got up, left a good tip "undeserved" and paid the bill which in no way was remotely deserved. CRAP!

Awesome food! Great service! Delish! A great place to meet friends and enjoy a meal! Love this place!!❤️

Service was terrible. Took a while to get waited on, breakfast delivered with no toast, promised it was on its way, had to ask again, meanwhile eggs are getting cold. Would not go back.

The food is always fresh, and delicious. The staff is so friendly and efficient, even when we have to place special orders due to food alergies, they never miss a beet.

Sunday after church we went to First Watch. OMG they have a great system and are so welcoming. They greeted us when we entered, took our name and provided coffee and Adirondack chairs. They said the wait was 20 minutes. We were called in 15 minutes. Our waitress was sooooo nice and attentive. There were healthy options. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. They have excellent customer service!!!!

Second visit with family and enjoyed the experience. Very short wait on a crowded Sunday after church, excellent service & great food, as usual.

Fantastic! Very fresh! Service was very friendly and helpful with our order. Go now!

Always great service, always great food. I love how they change the menu seasonally. Ask for Troy for an above and beyond experience.

Amazing coffee, service and food. The atmosphere is so great, it just feels fresh. The Kale Tonic is amazing as well, so refreshing.

Long wait but delightful waitress, thanks Destiny �☕️

Brunch yesterday with my daughter. Chickinchanga is off the charts. Food is always great.

I got the Belgian waffle. They were 6.72. I only got 1 medium size waffle and no sides. It tasted good but not worth the price.

Great restaurant!! Amazing pancakes!

Great Options. It's my favorite place for breakfast! I love how they have both traditional breakfast items and healthy choices. We all have those non-healthy faves that we crave every now and then. But I like having so many great healthy choices as well.
