    Million Dollar Bacon
    Zahkyia H.

    First Watch is a rustic breakfast and lunch spot. This was my first time dining at this location and we were seated without a wait. Or waitress Kimberly gave us some great recommendations and excellent service. I enjoyed the Trifecta breakfast combo- which included carrot cake pecan pancake, chicken sausage and I subbed the eggs for grits. The chicken sausage really stood out to me- it was fresh, well seasoned and tender. Also the grits were the perfect texture and loaded with butter. The carrot cake pancake, wasn't bad, it just didn't give me a carrot cake taste I was expecting. Also the pancake had a lot of raisins- I didn't understand this recipe in comparison with the name. Overall good experience and meal.

    Went here for my free bday breakfast on Sunday around 1000 and got right in. There is a join the waitlist online but you still have to check in at the hostess desk when you get there. There is a ton of outdoor eating space as well. The service and food was fantastic. We love coming to first watch.

    First Watch is a place to get a decent breakfast. I've never tried anything other than breakfast so I'm not sure how the other meals are. Service is always fast and the restaurant has a lot of seating. They have a good amount of options.

    Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash
    Jennifer B.

    Went to a nearby estate sale and needed food! Stopped in here because there's usually a new menu item I can try. Sure enough there was a new seasonal menu with quite a few new entrees. No wait and we were seated right away. Our waitress came over minutes later to take our drink order and shortly after our entree order. While waiting for our food it was awfully cold. Luckily my friend had a jacket for me to borrow. Also it's usually packed so the noise level is quite loud. Today I went with the honey chicken chipotle bowl. Eggs prepared over easy and it all came out just right! Full of flavor and the slightest hint of spice. First Watch is always a good decision!

    Sat at the bar and had a great experience! The bartender was super attentive and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The food was fresh and tasty, and everything came out quickly. My only wish is that they offered a few more coffee drink options besides regular coffee -- that would make the experience even better. Overall, a great spot for breakfast or brunch! Tip, add your name to the wait list ahead of time as the wait can be long depending on your party size. Place is loud as it's always packed, but worth the wait and ambiance.

    Kids Bacon & Egg

    Another great visit with the family! Very nice & efficient service. Always relaxing atmosphere. Kids menu is a great option and portion. Love the lemon ricotta pancake with my Tri-fecta plate; chicken sausage was very tasty and eggs were good quality. The steak omelette special with potatoes and spinach was amazingly delicious and a large portion with fried egg. The best coffee in town; medium roast yum. The eggs, bacon, with sourdough bread & fruit cup was perfect for our 7 y/o. Will definitely be back to our bfast & brunch spot!

    There's nothing better than a First Watch Avocado Toast. Always been my favorite. Million dollar bacon is a must. I can't recall the girls name but we had her twice and she was on top of all the requests. I still miss Becky but she's moved on. Place is always busy and rustling. Not loud but don't go for a quiet breakfast.

    On my first visit, I came with a friend, and our server was fantastic. She was friendly, personable, and attentive, providing excellent customer service (I wish I had caught her name, but she mentioned she enjoys anime after she complimented my baby's Akatsuki bib). I tried The Works Omelet paired with a Pineapple Express, and it was quite tasty, especially with some Cholula sauce. My friend, who had been there before, ordered a frittata and coffee, both of which she enjoyed. During my latest visit on May 21, 2025, the staff was just as welcoming, seating me at a table while I waited instead of making me sit on the bench by the front desk, which I appreciated since many places require you to wait until your whole party arrives. My friend stuck with her usual order and loved it, along with her coffee. I went for the same choices again--the Works omelet and Pineapple Express. The omelet was delicious, and the Pineapple Express was just as refreshing as I remembered. This really highlights their consistency in food and drinks. Our server was friendly. If you haven't had the chance to dine here yet, I highly recommend it. They offer fantastic food and outstanding customer service.

    Kale Tonic
    Shalon P.

    Had such a great meal here. I ordered the kale tonic. It was very tart and I mean that in the best way. The carne asada tacos were very good. For my real entree I had the double bacon Parmesan hash. Now this comes with a LOT of arugula, which I hate. However, the hash was really good once I picked all of that off. I'd definitely come again and try more things

    Great breakfast as always. Wife had the Farmer's Skillet and I had the Rustic Frittata with a side of potatoes. Both meals were great and we plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast. Our server was Sydney and she was excellent. Pleasant and helpful. We look forward to our next visit to First Watch.

    Carrot cake pecan pancakes ..why does it have bananas

    I usually don't leave reviews, but after the last 3 visits I have to say something. Every single time I've ordered pancakes here, something has been baked into them that absolutely should NOT be there. I'm not talking about toppings--I mean random, unwanted stuff inside the batter itself. The first time I let it slide. The second time, I was already questioning things. But the THIRD time?? At that point it's clearly not a one-off mistake--it's a consistency problem, and not in a good way. It honestly makes me question the kitchen standards and attention to detail. Pancakes are one of the most basic items on the menu, so if that's being messed up repeatedly, what else is going on back there? Really disappointing because I used to enjoy coming here, but after three bad experiences in a row, I won't be ordering pancakes again--and honestly, I'm reconsidering coming back at all.

    Decent breakfast place. Downside is that it's always extremely hard to be seated during weekends because they are always so busy. It took our waitress forever to get to us once we were seated. I ordered a drink that came when my meal did almost 30 minutes later. Then, when I wanted a second, that wasn't an option because she came back with the check already. I also asked for no onions but there were onions. When I told the waitress about it, she said onions are mixed in with the potatoes and she had forgotten to tell me when I ordered and asked for none. She did however compensate me with a free blueberry muffin but she said taking it off the bill or replacing it for free was not an option. Parking is terrible in the area. There are too many businesses around and it's overcrowded. I had to park about 3 businesses down because there is never parking in the front since they are so busy.

    We were seated immediately, but it did take quite some time to get our orders taken and get our food. The outside seating was really nice, as well. The pesto chicken power bowl was AMAZING. If I could get that every week, I definitely would. Overall, I would definitely come again, but maybe pick what you want on the way to the restaurant to save some time.

    Nice Tri Fecta service was great thank you

    Do they still not serve alcohol? If they do now, on Sunday mornings too?

    Yes, it's served on Sundays, beginning at 10 am (per Texas law). 😁

Wait time knocked off a star, but I so thoroughly enjoyed my tiramisu iced coffee. It was served with a lady finger and holy cow, I've never had a drink taste so much like the real dessert. I had it with oak milk and it was still creamy and such a treat! Next time if I decide to come, it will be when I have a leisurely day and want to enjoy a tasty treat in drink form.

I don't mind a slow pace at a crowded restaurant, but the slow speed here is very, very slow. After waiting 10 minutes for a server to come to our table, I went up to the hostess stand and asked her to check if we had been assigned a server. The table next to us wasn't as patient - they got up and left after waiting for at least ten minutes, if not fifteen, for someone, anyone, to come and acknowledge their presence. This was our second time there, and it was just as slow as it was about two year's ago. My advice: go there if you want to sit and eat with a nice view of the Trinity River and you have no place to be for a good 60-90 minutes. Otherwise, go elsewhere for coffee or breakfast/lunch where the pace of the service is reasonable and realistic.
