Such a great local breakfast spot with the perfect setting at Towne Lake! The food quality is great always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Menu options are sooo good! Ieisha is our favorite waitress, super friendly! The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to again!

If you live in the area and have never been to First Watch, you are really missing out. First Watch is my favorite breakfast place because every location, including this one, is always consistently tasting delicious with fast, easy service. The traditional and the trifecta are my go to menu choices, but I've never had a bad meal here. The pancakes are the best around. Go try for yourself if you haven't already.

Carrot cake pancakes

The food was excellent today, but it's good all the time! Service was prompt, the server was so efficient and our server Bricia was nice and brought our food right away! This restaurant is always packed on the weekends with inside and outside seating. Their carrot cake pancakes are always the best! Thank you for the great experience.

Trifecta

Had to come in for my free birthday entree. We were able to get seated quickly on a Saturday afternoon which was great. Lots of seating and has patio seating. Service was great in the beginning but once we of our food it seemed like we got forgotten about. Each time we'd try to get our server's attention he was rushing around helping his other tables so I ended up having to ask a different server for my grits I had ordered. By the time I got them the rest of my plate was cold, unfortunately. I think that because of the location and perhaps the day the feel was just busy versus other locations I've been to have a more quaint, cozy feel.

I loved the million dollar breakfast sandwich! The bacon makes it, so I'm glad it really covered a layer next to the patty. The English muffin is very light and fresh, and is perfectly toasted. The portion is perfect for me with the salad. The Florentine Eggs Benedict is a classic go-to, and my friend loved it! We enjoyed the donut holes if you have a sweet tooth, because they're fall-apart soft in the sauce. The service was wonderful! The staff is friendly and the ambiance is super casual. We only waited about 10-15min at 1:00pm.

Don't bother checking in/ reservation they just ignore it and you have to wait the same time as everyone else who just walks in.

The decor is really cool and gives the place a nice atmosphere. I also liked the menu because some of the names are pretty funny and definitely make you look twice.

The bad: The chili was weird, like it had a weird metallic taste, that then turned into a lingering spice. The spicy factor wasn't the problem, it was the weird taste. The queso wasn't queso. It was like a slightly heated cream cheese type mixture. So more of a cream cheese thick dip than a queso. They charged me $3-$4 for 3 bites of Mac and cheese (see photo)! Also, the breakfast I ordered was $14 and had dry French toast, way overcooked scrambled eggs, which became like egg nuggets and 2 skinny pieces of bacon, that I asked for crispy, but tasted burnt. The good: The Pulled Pork Sandwich was the star of the whole show. It has the Mac and cheese on top and we ended up ordering 2 to go. The drinks were so tasty and well made. Normal cocktail prices, but delicious every time. Our waiter/bartender was so nice and kind. Overall when food is concerned, would never go back. But if I wanted a good espresso martini or old fashioned and was in the area... I'd stop in.

Recently I visited this…read morelocation for the first time and realized this restaurant is a little smaller than the Gessner location that I frequent the most. However, it is tastefully decorated inside with a somewhat unique inclusion of area high school banners on the wall giving it a real local feel to this location. While most people sit inside they do offer an outdoor covered patio if you wish. I ordered the grilled chicken breast entree for $17. I chose mashed potatoes and gravy with green beans as it's 2 side dishes. After getting my drink at their self serve drink machine area, I found an empty table and only waited about 10 minutes for my food to arrive, The boneless chicken breasts had grill marks on them and were hot and tasty. They had good flavor. The green beans and mashed potatoes also were also very good tasting. With a slice of Texas Toast I enjoyed this meal and would order it again. Mia's Table is a winner. No wonder why it is so popular.

I will definitely come back to this restaurant when I'm in the area!

This place brings authentic Deep South flavors and hospitality straight to Texas, and every single bite reminded me of home-cooked meals from down South. The signature chicken tenders were crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside, and seasoned to perfection, easily some of the best I've had anywhere. Paired with their seasoned dirty rice, their fluffy, buttery biscuits and perfectly seasoned french fries, it was a match made in heaven. I also had to try the famous Bo Berry biscuit, and it did not disappoint, warm, sweet, bursting with blueberries and that classic glaze that makes it impossible to stop at just one. Of course, no Southern meal is complete without a tall cup of sweet tea, and theirs was exactly what I hoped for: strong, refreshing, and perfectly sweetened like grandma made it. The portions are generous, the food is fresh and full of flavor, and the whole experience felt like a warm Southern welcome. If you're looking for that genuine Deep South taste without leaving Texas, Streets Chicken is the spot. Highly recommend. ! I'll definitely be back for more! Rod Gray Cypress, TX

Jason's Deli - Sunshine Breakfast Croissant with Sausage

The first Jason's Deli was founded in 1976 in Beaumont, Texas. And since then, the company remains…read moreprivately owned by the founder's family despite having 239 locations across 27 states. I'm a fan of Jason's Deli and have been to a few locations on the East Coast and one other location in Texas. The Cypress location has a much smaller salad bar compared to other locations and the customer service is not as great. The staff behind the counter who prepared our food was not very helpful and the person who brought our food to our table was not friendly either. However, the really young gal at the ordering counter was a shining exception and made the experience much better. She was really polite, friendly, and helpful. She was juggling dine-in orders, take-out orders, and delivery orders all while helping customers with their drinks and questions. My favorite sandwich on the menu is the Wild Salmon-Wich. It's made with wild-caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon. It's a rare treat to find restaurants offering wild-caught Salmon in a sandwich. Plus, at a reasonable price. The sandwich comes with your choice of either potato chops or blue tortilla chips on the side. They also have a Build Your Own Sandwich option, where you can pick your own meats, spreads, bread, and cheese. Tuna Salad with egg is one of the meat choices for those who are pescatarian. There's also a vegetarian sandwich option, the Caprese Panini, which is simple but tasty. The restaurant like many of its other locations has a spacious, open area with numerous tables, including booth seating. However, some of the tables were uncleaned from the moment we arrived until we left. I hope management takes steps to improve both cleanliness and customer service. Despite this, I still think Jason's Deli is a great place to grab a quick lunch or dinner, especially if you're looking for a super casual yet comfortable dining experience.

I did notify Manny of the issue. Overall it was a positive experience.

It was even better than I imagined it would be, and I would absolutely go back just for that pizza! Unfortunately, my actual entrée left a lot to be desired, and after one bite I ended up sending it back. The staff handled it well, though, and everyone was friendly and attentive. One of the fun touches here is the serving robots that bring food out to the tables. Definitely something different and entertaining to watch! Overall, we had a good experience despite my entrée not working out. Great service, a fun atmosphere, and seriously--get the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza!

9/5/2026: I hadn't realized the Dolly Parton brunch event was happening until I arrived, but…read moredespite the restaurant being packed and noisy, it made for a lively, festive atmosphere. The location itself has a really nice view of the lake with plenty of outdoor seating available. Our server, Chase, was fantastic! She took wonderful care of us throughout our meal, keeping everything running smoothly despite how busy it was. The food overall was enjoyable. We tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay and didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for. However, the Philly eggrolls were delicious! We also ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp, which is an absolute favorite of mine from my usual home location in Memorial. My biggest critique of this location comes down to those three-tiered motorized robot servers. Personally, I'm really not a fan. I feel like they cheapen the dining experience rather than elevate it. I don't quite understand the point when a human server--often just whichever nearby staff member happens to be passing by, rather than your actual server--still has to take the food off the tray and place it on your table. It ends up feeling inconsistent and impersonal. I know AI and tech are here to stay and I embrace it where it fits, but we have to ask ourselves: does this actually enhance the customer experience? In my opinion, it doesn't, and those bots must have cost a pretty penny!It's truly a shame to have stellar, personal service from someone like Chase alongside good food, only for the overall experience to feel just "fair" because of a robot cart delivering dishes. I definitely prefer my home location in Memorial. It's smaller, quieter, much easier to park, and thankfully isn't running robot servers (at least not yet!). While it was a fun outing with a great view, I'll likely stick closer to home for my regular visits.
