You just can't talk about breakfast in Cincinnati without mentioning First Watch. Although the place is a franchise (with locations in Ohio, Florida and other places), Cincinnatians have embraced it like a hometown chili parlor, and the wait for a table proves it. Folks will find traditional bacon and eggs, pancakes and waffles, as well as healthy alternatives like the famous Siesta Key Cocktail -- a parfait of granola, fresh fruit and yogurt that resembles a decadent dessert more than a healthy breakfast. Egg-white omelettes, crepes and pancakes as big as a dinner plate are also crowd favorites. Open only for breakfast and lunch, First Watch is usually packed during the week with power brokers in the wee hours and families on the weekends lingering over coffee and the Sunday Enquirer. Carryout lunch is a good alternative if you're in a hurry. -- Annie McManis

    After eating an omelete made with eggs from a carton with frozen cubed hash browns, I can only assume people who never cook rated this restaurant the best in cincinnati.

    This is the best thing on the menu, but they only give you a bite. Can't even order a larger portion or a side to go of it. Would love the recipe and would just make it at home.

    Upscale menu. Good food, but don't ask to have your bagle grilled with butter because they will look at you sideways and deliver a toasted bagle anyway. For the record, you butter a sliced bagle and grillit butter side down. It is easier once you have done it at least one time. Hope this is educational.

    Servcie is excellent. The food is a bit pricy, but weel worth it and the people serving it are alway pleasant. The food is served hot and while the menu is not real extensive since they are only open for breakfast, lunch and brunch the selections are appropriate and there are always daily specials.

    We eat at the Tri-county place every Sunday. The servers are great and I love the spicy omelets, crepes, and wraps. The salads and sandwiches are great too.
