After a festive night of amazing fireworks, my kids and I were searching for a decent place to have brunch. After searching fruitlessly for an hour (it was the 4th of July so most places were closed) we discovered this little gem in the German village. We had to wait a few minutes for a table, but what a treat it was to get our food. As a huge foodie, I like to visit new places and experience different foods, and this place wasnt a let-down! They hadnt anticipated such huge crowds, but they stepped it up and took care of everything quickly with only a few mistakes. The strawberry basil lemonade was perfection in a cup, and my bacon style eggs Benedict were spot on. The Floridian French toast was a culinary and visual delight and I will most certainly be back with my sister in tow for another great experience!

A breakfast-lunch spot, perfect for that "morning after" with someone special. Or a dozen cousins. It offers the intimacy of a noisy, tight-packed, nooks-and-crannies hustle-bustle house. Fare is tasty treatments of breakfast staples - eggs, pancakes and meats - with names and a few ingredients you wont find in your kitchen, but the prices are reasonable, the food good, and coffee left at the table by the pot. No wonder the place was packed, with nearly two dozen hungry folk patiently waiting on the benches, at 10 of the Sunday morning we visited.

I have been to this location for breakfast about four times with large (8-25 people) groups, and the restaurant always handles it beautifully. The drinks come out immediately, food comes out fairly quickly, and the service doesnt seem to be slowed down (for us or for others in the restaurant) by the number of diners. Ive been a couple times with smaller groups for breakfast and lunch, and the service is still great.

Standard breakfast/brunch place. Overpriced for the food. Had the kale smoothie, pancake with lemon curd and smashed avocado on whole grain bread. Had to pay $8 for just and avocado on two slices of toasted bread. The smoothie was wayyy too sweet for me. And the pancakes were nothing special. I wouldve given this place a higher rating if I didnt have to shell out so much money for my food. Wont go again.

First Watch has fantastic food. I am a First Watch connisseur. Its one of my favorite restaurants and is my favorite place to eat breakfast. The service at this particular location has the best service out of all of the First Watch locations in Columbus. Ask to sit in Jeffs section of you go here. Hes one of the best servers Ive ever had! Hell take excellent care of you.

Waited a significant amount of time to be acknowledged after walking in the door. Waited an unacceptable amount of time to be acknowledged after being seated, drink order was not taken. Felt generally forgotten about once we were in our corner table. The menu is an artisan joke and over priced. Despite all the adjectives, the food was mediocre.

Breakfast food is breakfast food. Your scrambled eggs here will still be scrambled eggs, just three times what youd expect to pay. The staff is fine, and the food is, well, fine, but at its core its a reskin of waffle house, and it doesnt punch up the concept enough to justify eleven dollar hash.

This place has gone WAY down hill in the past few months. The management treats everyone terribly, and has even fired one employee just for working part time! I used to go to this one because I live close by, but now I drive all the way to Upper Arlington because they care about their customers.

Great food particularly from a chain restaurant. Ive never had a subpar experience here or any of the locations. They manage to find servers that actually enjoy serving. Theres a few at each location that have been there for years. For you bacon lovers, they get it right every single time.

After 4 months living in the US this is the first place Ive been for breakfast that hasnt left me feeling like Im about to die from a heart attack. Great healthy options that still taste delicious. Nothing special about the service or decor but I dont particularly care for that.

I love this place. Love their waffles. *note has cinnamon and a dusting of powder sugar.* Disappointed with menu change of eliminating this spicy chicken and egg dish, name escapes me. But as long as I can get the waffles and a few refills of hot chocolate I am good.

The Dublin First Watch does not accomodate the community. Turned down 22 young ladies for lunch because the would not set up a table, first come first serve. Please tell all your friends to NOT go to the Dublin First Watch. Definitely not community friendly

Our weekly must! Everything from salads to pancakes to skillets and juices....as if you made it at home. We love bringing friends here and enjoying a great meal. The staff is also amazing! After food, take a nice stroll in the neighborhood...

The service was average at best and they were not busy. It was $42 w/o tip for breakfast and there are plenty of places to eat in Columbus that wont hit the wallet that hard for 2 people.

Breakfast was very good, although the portions were a bit smaller than Im used to from many other breakfast places. Great service, and I still recommend First Watch.

Great options for those people concerned with making healthier options. The food is great and I have been there a few times and have yet to have a bad meal.

I enjoyed having breakfast here with my husband. I had the eggs Benedict and my husband ordered an omelet. They altered everything just as we requested.

High quality food for reasonable prices. This place is like a high quality/healthy IHOP. You really couldnt ask for more.

Such great food at a nice price. Fairly busy. Free parking in the lot or there are meters all around on city side roads.

Great food! Our waitress was helpful and courteous, as well as attentive. Get in before 930 to avoid the Sunday rush!

A nice, casual place to grab brunch. The eggs benedict is fantastic. The house coffee is a must have!

The food and the service were lackluster. For the price i would rather go to the short north

Food was bland and dry, this was not due to it being busy as the restaurant was 1/4 full
