    As breakfast chains go, First Watch exemplifies what they should be. Between a busy parking lot and crowded front room we had the impression things would be slow moving here, yet we were wrong both times. Parking was quick and easy to find and despite the busy interior we were seated very quickly. The first thing that stands out about First Watch is the very clean and homey setting. It feels much more polished than an IHOP or Denny's yet the price of things are just about the same. Once we were seated we ordered relatively quickly and our waitress was very attentive despite having a busy section. We ordered a few things and every single thing was good. From the Parma skillet hash, which was extremely savory and well seasoned, to the French Toast, thick and sweet with a delicate flavor; it was all fantastic. We also ordered a pancake and it was huge for a single stack and it was good too, light and fluffy; the bacon it came with was also nice, salty and crisped nicely. The only thing we could ding the food for was our chocolate milk for being very much on the milky side, and guess what? They apologized profusely for it and brought us extra chocolate syrup to fix it. The service here was great, adding to an already fantastic meal. Side note: the mint mocha iced latte they have on the seasonal menu was also great, get it while you can! Paying the check was also somehow a far better experience than every other chain. You can pay up front or you can pay by QR code, which we know a few other places offer but the software they have here feels much, much quicker. From receiving the check to paying took (maybe) a minute. And that's the thing about First Watch, everything just works. The food, the service, the small intangible things that most other places don't care for; all of it was done well and done right. We wish we had one across the street from us, but we'll settle for a short drive that we know we will happily make to eat here again.

    Blte again! The food is always great. No wait to be seated on a Saturday. However the service took a while for them to take our order. There were two tables seated later than we were but got served first. Clean, almost full crowd. No military discount. :(

    Breakfast hash
    Kyle J.

    I've always liked coming to First Watch. My wife and I came in for breakfast and we ordered the seasonal donuts appetizer. (They're amazing) we also ordered a breakfast hash and the biscuit and sausage gravy meal. I don't have problems with First Watch, but every time we have gone the eggs are a little undercooked. I don't know how or why but they just are. My meal also had a lot of oil so I pushed that aside. But I still enjoyed it. Regardless I'm still gonna go and get their food from time to time when I can afford it.

    First Watch is a favorite for breakfast, brunch or lunch. I love the veggie omelette and their frittatas. Great service in a relaxed atmosphere. They always have a seasonal special for something fresh and different!

    Elote breakfast burrito
    Vivian L.

    Got a couple of the seasonal items. Really liked the elote burrito. Would recommend getting that if they keep it on the menu. Got the caramel crunch iced coffee and took one sip. Don't order that. It was so bad. Fresh toast was okay. Service was okay. Our waiter didn't really check on us

    Amazing breakfast spot. Family has been coming here for some time and we really enjoy it. You have to be careful to check the wait times to avoid a lengthy delay. Waitress was extremely helpful and all the staff was great. We enjoy the casual family friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back

    We got here just before the Sunday morning crowd came in! Which was nice. Anyway first time trying this place and it was overall pretty good. I got the same thing that i usually get from other places. Eggs Benedict "classic" or whatever you want to call it with added spinach. I enjoyed my meal and the service. Our waitress was very kind and seemed genuinely nice. The things I did not like was that the cups they gave us for water were dirty. Also they charge $4.99 for coffee. Not for the table but for each person. I had half a cup only because the pot was on the table. But yeah overall I'd probably go back but there a few other places I'd rather try.

    Farmhouse hash
    Kiera L.

    Delicious food! Got the Farmhouse Hash which tasted very fresh, as well as the million dollar bacon. Everything was delicious! Service was great, they were very attentive! And while the place was very busy, it still seemed to stay clean and flow smoothly. You can tell it's being ran very well.

    Had a delicious breakfast with my husband the other morning. Jose's service was wonderful, including any additional support staff that helped our table. The ambiance was lovely and very pleasant. Highly recommend the egg-cellent breakfast sandwich. It was the first time I'd had it here and it did not disappoint.

    Honey caramel crunch cold brew
    Dan R.

    Always glad when I travel to an area where there is a First Watch, and this Austin location did not disappoint. Great service from Jose, fun to give the new Double Crunch Breakfast Tacos and Honey Caramel Crunch Cold Brew a try. The tacos were so stuffed they were a bit hard to eat - a good problem! The cold brew was nice but waaaay to sweet, and I'd still order it again

    Myranda R.

    Food was absolutely amazing. I got the Elote Breakfast Burrito as a bowl with extra potatoes and It was AMAZING. all boys got trifecta and loved it. Boyfriend tried to Strawberry tres leches french toast and LOVED IT! Even shared it with friends. Service was perfect. they are very attentive and quick with everything. Ambiance was perfect. I couldn't have been happier

    The works omelette
    Thea W.

    The wait for 6 people wasn't long at all especially on a Sunday. Our server was fantastic! The omelette was great, the waffles were fantastic, the blueberry cornbread was delicious! We also tried the strawberry tres leches French toast was wayyy too sweet for us and had too much Carmel. The mint moca iced coffee was really good! We did notice a black mild spot on the ceiling which was quite unpleasant but overall it was great!

    Nicki C.

    Located alongside the Lakeline Target, this First Watch is excellent for an early outing! The food is made fresh with good portions, while the service is always good! Gin is who we tend to get at this location. At times is can be quite and casual, while other times it's busy, loud, and fast paced, but I think that's with any restaurant. Favorites are farmhouse hash (has bacon, eggs, and cheese) and the banana granola almond crunch pancakes. Love this location

    Maybe I tried the wrong item. The biscuit and gravy were extremely dry. The drink selection isn't great, and all are prepped ahead of time.

The food is always incredible, but what truly sets this place apart is the people. Kylie, Nathan, Maddie, and so many others on the team consistently go above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely valued. Their kindness never feels forced -- it's just who they are. One moment that really stayed with me was when I brought my young niece, who has several allergies and can also be a bit picky with food. The chef personally came out to our table to ask thoughtful questions, understand her allergies better, and make sure she felt safe and comfortable eating there. That level of care meant so much to our family. Now that I'm pregnant, the staff continues to be just as attentive, accommodating, and thoughtful. They always make sure I'm comfortable and taken care of, and it honestly feels like visiting friends every time we walk through the door. Restaurants with great food are everywhere. Restaurants with genuinely wonderful people are rare. Jack Allen's is one of those rare places, and we're incredibly grateful for the amazing team there.

It was flavorful and cooked correctly. My only recommendation would have been to give some more sauce for the meatloaf. My husband got the fried pork chop and said it was cooked perfectly and that the gravy was delicious. Overall, an enjoyable meal and we would return.

Parking at Mutts was pretty smooth but it does look like it could be difficult on days or times where many owners decide to stop by. When entering there are a lot of security precautions in place ensuring that it would be VERY difficult for dogs to escape which is much appreciated. To get into the dog park itself you need to purchase a day pass which runs $14, there are other options like weekly, monthly, or even membership passes but as first timers we didn't want to commit too hard just yet. Ordering is pretty straightforward and the food options are simple, burgers and tenders and fries. They do also have a dog menu but it is very lacking for being a dog focused place, just two options for dogs and both involve peanut butter so in the case your dog is strange and doesn't like peanut butter then you're out of luck. There's a good amount of seating on the patio for food and the interior of the dog park also has a lot of seating and things for dogs as well like rocks, baths, and water bowls. They have a big screen out in the yard too so if you're into sports and would like to bring your dog somewhere to watch then this is a great option. Beware that you SHOULD NOT bring food into the yard, they don't explicitly say it but just know that is not a good idea. Overall, Mutts is an awesome place to bring a dog and just hang out and have them (or you) socialize. Consider stopping by with your dog when you have a chance!
