    I love coming to First Watch before going on an adventure. Today, I tried the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and some seasoned potatoes. They were excellent, as was the service and the atmosphere. Even though they were busy, I was still seated in about half the quoted time.

    I love the healthy options on this menu! They make fresh juice concoctions every day and they are full of all the good stuff. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. This was my second time coming and the first time I had the biscuits and gravy which were top notch. This next time I had a skillet hash with veggies and it was amazing!! The kids loved it too. They serve a strawberry jam with the toast and it tastes and feels like it's homemade. If you order French toast or anything of that sort the syrup comes warmed. The coffee had amazing flavor as well as the Morning Glory cocktail. I love it here and there's no doubt we will be back to try more good stuff.

    Great service - friendly - and just the right amount of attention. Food was delicious and delivered to the table quickly. The kale juice was actually tasty too :)

    First time visiting First Watch loved the healthy breakfast options. Food was delicious and hot. Server was good and attentive. Saw many other options on the menu that I would enjoy trying on my next visit.

    Our first time here, we had to wait for approximately 30 minutes to be seated. I ordered hot chocolate, superfood breakfast bowl,and my guy ordered the biscuits and gravy. The hot chocolate was not good unless you like colored water. I prefer rich hot chocolate. My food was really good. My guy Said that his food was really good,but his egg was not cooked properly. 😐 The presentation, taste was excellent. The difficulty ordering not great, and we didn't really have much service. We weren't asked for refills. But we definitely recommend for good food.

    The service was amazing and made sure I had a great birthday breakfast. The food was hot and freshly made with an amazing taste. The presentation and staff were perfect and had everything looking delicious along with good suggestions. It was my first time here and I'm definitely going there more often. The prices were cheap especially for the fresh and amazing food with great portions.

    Came here for Sunday brunch! The seasonal harvest million dollar hash with hot honey is absolutely delicious and so filling. The lemon ricotta pancakes— so light and fluffy—are big enough for 2 people to split. Everything is so fresh and tasty.

    Saturday morning and I have time to kill. I tried First Watch earlier with coworkers and liked the menu. Today I started with a Watermelon Wake-up. A tart combination of Watermelon pineapple, mint and lime. For my entree I had Floridian French Toast. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The French toast was cooked to perfection. And the berry compote was a good complement to the drink. Definitely a good choice for a fruit lover. Next time I guess I need to do a healthy option... Not!

    Stopped in for Sunday breakfast. We haven't been here in some time. Our server was Stone and he was PHENOMENAL. I tried his recommendation and it was amazing. Wonderful service. Terrific food. Thank you for a pleasant start to our day!

    From the outside this place looks like a dive but inside has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Service was good but not great. Our server seemed like she wanted to move on from us. It was our first time so we were a little slow on ordering so that may explain her impatience. The Ham and Gruyere Melt with tomato soup was way good! The Monterey Club had tones of meat and very little topings for my sandwich. I like a variety of flavors with my food, and I just didn't get it with that sandwich. The BLTE sandwich was okay but a bit dry. Fruit site option was delicious. Again not bad but don't think I'll be coming back.

    You have to try the juices they are great! Best waffles ever crisp on the outside soft on the inside.

  • 4/5 Austin H. 3 years ago on Google
    Pricing seemed high, but the quality of the food and the servers made it worth it. We enjoy going on occasion with our family for Brunch. For the germaphobs, my wife said the restrooms were not very clean.

    Megan was a great server! She was very attentive and checked in frequently. We ordered the waffle with extra powdered sugar. They took it very seriously! They really follow their business model which says, “If we can, we will!”

    i love the am super food bowl. Good vegetarian items, the drinks are yummy too. I love the kale tonics.

  • 5/5 Nichole Ry A. 2 years ago on Google
    It was packed but we were seated as soon as they could seat us. Service was great. Food was great. Our table had a few crumbs we had to wipe off ourselves but honestly you could tell it was a oversight. Parking is horrible at this location but the food makes up for it.

    My Husband and I came here for the first today…. Before I start I’m not one that normally leaves reviews… If I do they deserve it either way rather good or bad!!!! With that said… The only thing I can say was good was the water…. My husband said his coffee was good… then after that it was a train wreck… they brought syrup to the table looking like it hasn’t been cleaned in weeks… We ordered Gingerbread Spice Donuts to share and they was so cold they hurt my teeth… I order a Belgium Waffle it was so cold the butter didn’t even melt a little bit… my husband order BLT Egg Benedict with potatoes…it suppose to come with two eggs… and came out with only one… we are not complainers and at this point I was just eating my cold waffle and not saying anything… my husband sent his meal back to be fixed and when it came back out the hollandaise sauce was in his ketchup it was just sloppy… asked to speak to the manager and Julie came out when my husband started to explain to her she proceed to argue with him and wouldn’t allow him to explain the issues… The only other good experience was the waitress… I’m sorry I can’t remember her name.. We definitely won’t be back!! And I would totally understand if they was really busy and short on staff but we was there at 7:15 am and there was only us and 2 other tables a total of 5 customers including us in the restaurant.. NO EXCUSES!!

    The best dining experience I’ve had in a long time. My Mom is lactose intolerant and the General Manager Amy came out to our table and offered to make their amazing Floridian French toast special so the French toast would contain absolutely no regular milk. The beverages are amazing and my seasonal green Chile hash was to die for. My mom has traveled the world and said her dining experience and quality of food at this restaurant has beat out any restaurant she’s ever been to. Highly recommend to anyone that enjoys fresh food and an amazing one of a kind experience.

    This place is amazing!!! Perfect for brunch

  • 3/5 Kendra R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the second weekend that I ordered FW for brunch using doordash. The first time was excellent. My guy loved his Traditional breakfast. I had a fruit bowl that was great and a side of potato that were well cooked. Today I ordered myself the same and my guy a Trifecta. The food was under cooked, the waffle was limp, the potatoes still tough, and to say the fruit bowl was lacking would be an understatement. Not even a quarter of the container. I intend on cooking brunch in the future rather than getting takeout but if in the future I should like to get takeout I will likely consider other options..

  • 5/5 Caden H. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this place so much. The staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming. David and Victoria were extremely nice and heart warming and really know how to put a smile on your face. I also loved how most of the options on the menu are healthy and they have a vegetarian option. 10/10 would definitely come back to try other things. ❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Desi G. 1 year ago on Google
    I love French toast and when I searched "French toast" First Watch was the first to pop up! What sold me were the BIG pancakes! 😍. I got my monies worth for what I ordered. I got 1 Belgian Waffel, Tri-Fecta - French Toast, eggs , turkey sausage and a side of potatoes. 💯 Most places don't sell turkey meat options, so it was nice to have options. The host taking my order was great and made sure I have everything I needed.

  • 5/5 Marcus J. 11 months ago on Google
    Great flavors, friendly service, imaginative menu. Decor is nice, 'relaxed rustic' meets 'industrial.' I can see this place as my local fave if I lived around here. Thumbs up!

  • 5/5 Milli G. 10 months ago on Google
    New to me. Loved the million dollar bacon! I recommend the Bacado omelet! Will be back.

    I come from Miami where there are very good restaurants and for now I can say that first watch is the best that I have found in Dayton. Delicious food with fresh ingredients and excellent Colombian coffee 👌

    Arrived between breakfast & brunch. We had a 20 to 30 minute wait for a table. The waitress was friendly and attentive to us, even with a busy dining room. She kept our drinks filled & table cleared from used plates. Food arrived hot & correct, flavor was great. I had the BLTE plate, which was awesome!! My wife, daughter, & mother-n-law had the biscuit and turkey gravy plate. All three said it was really good. One of the two younger kids had chocolate chip pancakes & the other one had eggs & fruit. The pancake was huge, the size of the breakfast plate. A good value for the money spent. The atmosphere was really friendly & inviting. Definitely recommend this place for good eats & fellowship with others.

  • 3/5 Bailey O. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is very good, when made right... that’s the key part. I ordered a veggie omelet for pick up.. and it had bacon in it. I dropped it off for my friend at work who is Muslim and I felt terrible. I understand mistakes happen, but I was very confused on how that one happened... the place is too expensive to be making these mistakes.

    Delicious, healthy breakfast options. I had the Sunrise Healthy Granola Bowl. It's my favorite thing to enjoy there. It comes with a muffin of the day and fresh fruit.

    Bad day. Toast not served with eggs. Waited 20 minutes for food. No sugar for coffee! What restaurant doesnt have sugar?? Used to be a favorite of ours. Not so much anymore. Overpriced which I never minded before but now? I can go to Bob Evans and spend about 5 bucks less for breakfast
