★★★★☆ 4.0 Luke Varner · Feb 2026

My wife, son (15), daughter (12), and I had brunch on a Saturday around 1pm. We were seated quickly even though it was busy. I ordered the barbacoa breakfast tacos with the pico de gallo on the side. Wife ordered the farmhouse. Son ordered chimichurristeak and egg hash. Daughter got the Belgian waffle with a size of million dollar bacon. I asked for decaf coffee which our waitress forgot until I asked again 10 minutes later. Food came out quickly but my son's eggs were undercooked. Our waitress had it remade which then turned out excellent. My Pico was not on the side, not a big deal, but i preferred not having it on the tacos. Service was below average, likely because it was very busy. She was friendly. Overall, the food was very good. We spent $67.08. We would return.

Delicious and friendly people. Love the close seating so if you’re alone you don’t feel it! Will come again… Delicious food

On December 29, 2025, I enjoyed breakfast at First Watch on W. Market St. in Fairlawn, Ohio. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff truly stood out. My waitress, Debbie, was a ray of sunshine on a freezing day. Her warm and genuine smile made me forget about the cold outside. She was incredibly attentive, checking in to ensure my meal was perfect and asking if I needed anything else. Debbie is not just an asset to First Watch; she embodies the spirit of exceptional service.

EDITED 3/7/25 Yesterday’s carne asada hash for my long awaited brunch was DESTROYED by incorrectly prepared eggs. Remember the days when businesses would comp you or at least take a few bucks off your order if it was MOST DEFINITELY their fault? I got a “We’ll do better next time.” response to THEIR QUESTION “How is everything?” I ordered eggs over medium & these are the eggs I got. No, I will not send them back & wait for another order because I’ve worked in many kitchens & abhor food waste, & you know this plate will be thrown in the trash ! I sneakily asked 2 other servers, “Would you say these eggs are over medium?” Answer, “Those are most definitely over easy.” Why do they assume there will be a next time in this economy? 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 I GUESS ALL THIS STUFF IS MOOT The food at Fi

I was on my trip back from Canton, OH. I stayed overnight in Akron and was looking for an breakfast restaurant. I decided to try this place. I was overwhelmed from the selections on the menus. I had the Bloody Mary and the Avocado toast with a side of pork sausages. It was GREAT! If I lived closer, this would be a frequent rotation for breakfast.
