“First Watch does it right. Their meals are definitely a step above other breakfast places. Their food has a unique flair, not just the usual menu items you find at most other restaurants. They don’t cater to kids, which makes the dining experience nicer. We like the Westerville location because it has a better atmosphere, and a covered patio for when the weather is nice.“

“Amy was very attentive and fast shewas yelled at by some white trash blonde with two teenage trolls she told the manager that we were served first which we were there first .she ended up getting everything paid for like she was trying to do and Amy was in trouble. the white trash was two tables away and heard out load everything she was saying. Amy our server was busting her butt 5 stars to Amy 3 stars to scramblersfor good food negative 20 stars to the white trash I hope never to see white trash again“

“My wife and I were traveling through the Columbus area and decided to DoorDash from here to our Air BnB. Oh my gosh, the best biscuit we’ve eaten. It was the sausage, egg and cheese. The sausage was so fresh and biscuit is by far the best I’ve had (sorry mom).We finished off our meal splitting a cinnamon roll l. We now know as the best cinnamon roll in the world 🤤🤤🤤🤤. Next time we are in the Columbus area we will stop by and eat at this beautiful location. We are proud supporters of woman owned and small businesses. ❤️“

“dining in here feels so calm and relaxing, like it's morning all day. the service for dine-in and take-away are excellent, consistently. the food is always fresh and delicious, and a myriad of options allow for exact preparation...and it's always coming out of the kitchen as soon as I arrive when I order take-away. this is our default breakfast option.

Dietary restrictions: their menu offers several options to customize your order. if you advise of your dietary restrictions, they will go the extra mile adhere to them. they are extremely accommodating.

Parking: it's in a plaza, so there is plenty of parking available in the lot, and it's close to the door.

Kid-friendliness: the laid-back atmosphere, lighting, space, and staff make this a wonderful option for the kids. they also have a robust selection available in the kids menu.“

“I met up with a few friends here for lunch. We wrote our name down on the waitlist and only had to wait for about 5-10 minutes before we could be sat. The waiting area has some chairs and tons of plants surrounding you. 🪴😍 The menu had all of your basic breakfast and brunch options. I opted for a half serving of French toast with tea, while my friends ordered the Arnold, and some type of sandwich (pictured). Everyone seemed pleased with their choices. 😀

The vibe here is laid back and you don't feel rushed to finish your food and leave. The noise level was tolerable, so that was nice. We were able to hold a conversation and still be able to hear each other. I would like to return in the future!“

“Understaffed, no supervision and a lack of proper training keep this potential hot spot way down. The singular cook actually cared but was not really trained and easily overwhelmed in spite of it being a slow night.

The solo waitress has similar issues and the place was needlessly cluttered from prior customers but could have been fixed in just a few minutes. Time she clearly had while we were there. In spite of this she eventually came around and made a decent effort.

I blame management based on what I observed. These two younger folks under good management and with solid, quality training could be really good at their jobs. They seem unguided and burned out. It would be nice if someone with the franchise read this and addressed it properly. With their potential, waffle house should try to keep them and develop them before they lose them.

Sad state of the times.“

“Food was very good, large portions, served hot. The veggie omelet, grits, and sour dough toast were delicious!“

“I made the bestest friends ever they danced with me. After a long 17 hour shift I wanted some waffle house, but little did I know it was a waffle home.“

“The food is always hot, fresh and Delicious. The First thing I noticed when walking through the door was the big smile on the face of every employee working there, Followed by a friendly Greeting. a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The cook Really stood out to me The most because You could tell that he really loves what he does and takes a lot of pride And Extra care in Cooking the food for the customers, which Was hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious and served with a friendly smile.“

“yummylicious great service asalways“

“I am an advisor at Tansky Toyota and had a surprise last week from this amazing location! They came in and gave us an abundant and delicious breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs and more! It was awesome to have another business supporting us and giving back! Staff were amazing and selfless! Can't wait to visit this establishment in the future. Highly recommend giving them a try!“

“I’d like to give a shout-out to one of the staff members there AKA Dianne I think that’s how it would be spelled lol. Dianna if u see this I really appreciated your time and your service thanks for always making sure our order has everything it needs and taking the time to even make sure it does. You’re good at your job period!!!.“

“A great place for a quick bite, breakfast, brunch, or lunch! The pancake balls and breakfast tacos were so good. Skip the avacado toast, it's incredibly simple and you will eye your friends' food, wishing you got what they had. The watermelon mint lemonade is very refreshing!“

“Our server was so sweet and checked on us often. Food was great“

“Great servers, great food! I'm treated very well by all the staff, even the cooks. I have always been completely happy with the quality of my meals. 5 stars, all the way! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“I work at a bar and I’m off at 3am and Waffle House is my go to. I don’t generally go to this location but I did today and I’m never going to another location. The woman i believe named courtnie was so nice she took my order. I’m not sure of the cooks name she was another nice lady. The food was so good! I had special requests (well done bacon over medium eggs cheese grits) and all were met perfectly. Usually when I get my grits the cook just puts the cheese on top and it’s hard to mix in but she put it in the middle and it wasn’t clumpy or runny. The food didn’t take long to be ready either. The girls are running the place wonderfully :)“

“The restaurant was clean and inviting, a typical IHOP. Before placing my order I informed the waitress of my pork nut and seafood allergy and we discussed it extensively because I wanted a chicken sandwich that was breaded. That sometimes means they deep fry it and if they also have pork or seafood deep fried items, they may deep fry in the same oil, thus causing me trouble. After determining I couldn’t have anything deep fried including the French fries or onion rings I went with side salad and a turkey melt and told her I needed the turkey bacon due to my allergy to pork. I got the sandwich and it looked accurate and started eating. It was indeed delicious until I began getting sick, and I knew I had some type of contamination. Upon inquiry she told me the bacon and turkey bacon are all fried together unless we request it to be cooked in a freshly cleaned area away from other foods. I assumed talking about my allergy at length was enough. So, if you have food allergies, please be aware you must not only tell them of the allergy and do your due diligence in ordering, but also tell them step by step in how to NOT cross contaminate. If we return to this one I will be sure to ask to have my entire order cooked separately from any pork product and ask if they’d like me to do the cooking hahah“
