First Watch

My go to healthy breakfast spot in Columbus! Good prices and nice service! Good house coffee too! The vibe is a little weird it makes me feel transported to a retirement home in Florida (the Worthington mall location)

I had Avery simple omelette and the floors were fantastic. Great coffee, great service and the staff was very welcoming. The wait of 30 minutes was worth it.

First Watch is so now our new favorite breakfast spot! We called and placed our order to go. My husband ordered the Tri Athlete and i ordered the traditional with no meat in replace add extra egg and a side of fruit. My husband said loved his meal. I didn’t taste it but it sure looked good. So my meal was DELICIOUS! My eggs we’re perfect! Sunnyside up is the best way to have them! The home fries we’re very good. The busicuit was fresh and delicious with the strawberry jam. My fruit was super fresh. I didn’t know they put watermelon in the fruit cup. I will most definitely ask for more watermelon and pineapples in my next fruit cup! I can not wait to go back!!!

Food and staff are awesome. Great selection of breakfast and lunch options with something to fit about any diet. I especially like the lean protein options. Having a menu that changes with the seasons is also very nice as it keeps the offerings fresh. One of my and the wife’s favorite breakfast spots.

Exotically presented dishes for breakfast and lunch. Has lots of variety at reasonable prices.
The food is great as well as very delicious. This is one of the best restaurant.

Hahahaha «unsophisticated» and «no ambiance.» This place isn’t your hipster breakfast spot. It’s motherfuckin’ FIRST WATCH. The food is simple, and not complicated, much like the décor. The service is always spot on, and I often feel like the youngest person in the room, but I’ll still order the steak and eggs florentine (with avocado) or one of their omelettes or many other dishes.
I love their food, their staff rocks, and I’ll always pop in for breakfast/​lunch for a little bit of food and coffee. It’s simple. They do it well.

Fantastic food. Sub par service. Never seems to have enough staff. The acoustics in the building were horrid. We could hardly hear our waiter and he was right next to the table. My ears were literally ringing by the time we left. We could barely hear each other at the table. Forget normal conversation… everyone had to yell to be heard. Other locations do not have this problem, so the possibility of coming back to the Worthington location are slim.

This was my first time here in years and I left very satisfied. I got an order of their pancakes (I can’t remember exactly what they were but I think they were banana and granola??) and they were delicious. I got ahead of myself tho and ordered the full stack, which no single human should be able to finish. I’d say I made through about half before I tossed in the towel haha, so if you’re not that hungry or don’t want bust your jeans open at breakfast I’d recommend sizing down lol. I also tried one of their egg dishes and that was very flavorful as well. And I love that they just put a whole pot of coffee on the table! Cause I go through my coffee like water. Location here is really easy too, plenty of parking, lots of light, and an outdoor patio. Highly recommended!

Such a great place. Service is amazing. Food is always fresh and the taste/​preparation is consistent. I always get the 2 for You with the Beefeater sandwich and the Pecan Dijon salad. I’m sure everything else on the menu is great too, but I get the same thing everytime because I love them so much.

I recommend the Acapulco omelette. It is nicely spicy and with great chile verde flavor. The waffle was also really good. Nice place for breakfast, enjoy.

This is one of the best breakfast/​brunch places in Columbus! They have a lot of great options if you’re looking for something healthy or something other than just eggs and bacon (but those are good here too).
There’s usually a wait during peak breakfast/​brunch hours on the weekends, but I’ve never had to wait more than 20 minutes. They also have self serve coffee in the waiting area if you need an immediate coffee fix!
They always have special dishes, so take a look at the board on the wall or you might get a separate menu with the specials if you sit outside.
I recommend any of the hash dishes and last time we got a couple things of their summer menu and they were really good! I got the avocado toast because I wanted to go for something a little lighter. I ended up being so full because they pretty much give you a whole avocado on toast plus two basted eggs. And it probably didn’t help that I also got a side order of extra crispy bacon. just couldn’t resist! (So much for going for lighter!)
My husband had the breakfast tacos and I had a bite and they were delish!
Service is always good too– friendly and attentive!

Came here on a Saturday with a group of friends and the place was packed. Expect a line if you are coming here to grab a weekend brunch. Excellent brunch place to come with family/​friends. very friendly staff and attentive service.
The food is excellent and the portions are big. I managed to eat just half of my hash browns with scrambled eggs. The pancakes are also huge. So order wisely. Definitely an excellent way to start a weekend.

Good experience for me but seems to be outstanding for «healthy» people !
Friendly staff, excellent service, nice outdoor seating area, pricey and not a «Yummy» choice, my ordered was «Market Hash».

I had my birthday breakfast there yesterday morning and it was very good. I like their omelets and the fast service.

Ugh. So disappointed with First Watch. For a place that has so much marketing geared towards natural and healthy how is there not a single vegetarian salad? I get it, I can ask for no meat but I want more! Give me some beans or olives or even a veggie patty on the side! I tried the pecan mustard salad and the dressing was so heavy I needed to order another plate of lettuce just to spread it around! I feel bad for the server I had, I’m sure she thought I was so miserable but I just wanted to leave feeling full of veggies not dressing!

Service at this First Watch is impeccable. The wait goes quickly and the food is excellent. I love the seasonal food and once you are seated the food is delivered quickly. An excellent choice for a Sunday brunch or breakfast everyday! Enjoy!

Cheerful breakfast spot just outside of downtown Worthington. We went early, so there was no wait to be seated. They have a big menu along with rotating specials. I was tempted by the Avocado toast with basted eggs but instead opted for «The Traditional.» It was tasty but not spectacular. The whole place has a chain-​hotel vibe.

I have yet to review anything that I haven’t visited multiple times to make sure I’m not just lucky and that the food and service really are that good. Well I’ve officially been to First Watch enough times to praise it in this review and recommend it to everyone!
Every morning person should know about this place. First Watch is only open in the morning and closes a few hours after noon, but it’s definitely the gem of the Worthington Mall which also operates on similar hours I believe. This may the be only con for me personally since I’m not a morning person whatsoever, but this place motivates me to get up and visit for a nice fresh Chichichanga with some hazelnut coffee, mmm. I’ve recently gotten out of my long routine only ordering the Chichichanga (CAUSE IT’S SO GOOD) to try different things. Earlier this morning I had the Fresh Fruit Crêpe from the Healthier section of the menu which was my first advancement towards trying new things on the menu and I was blown away with all the different fruits that were inside. It also came served with yogurt and granola to be sprinkled on top. Writing this review at 1:40 in the morning is making me hungry.
My experiences with First Watch have always been amazing. I always come here to not only enjoy the food but the service also. The same workers have been there for a long time. They’re always happy and so nice when serving you, and they even remember you! I have nothing but good things to say about this place and could go on and on. I suggest you get up early for since breakfast or go out for lunch, come here, and try it for yourself! You won’t be disappointed!

Average at best. When there were less locations and less popular 10 years ago, First Watch was pretty good.
Had the Baccado omelet — bacon was barely cooked. Sour cream topping was missing.
English muffin was cold (butter wouldn’t melt)
Knew there was a reason I quit going there for a reason.

We went on a Monday morning so there wasn’t any wait. Service was quick and very friendly. Lots of healthy options. Would definitely bring friends here.
