Evelyn L.

It's been a while since I've eaten at first watch probably 3 years. Today my family and I decided to have brunch here. I ordered the chimichuri steak and eggs. It was delicious! It's seasonal plate so that's a bummer. The service was really nice and the food came out pretty quick. The restaurant is very spacious and clean. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Farmhouse skillet, elevated egg sandwich and eggs Benedict
Danny C.

Asked to substitute greens for potatoes and had to remind them. Asked for eggs over easy but they came out over hard. By the time I noticed the waitress was not around so did not bother to exchange that! The elevated egg sandwich was pretty good but overall- just meh! That is all I can muster. In health and happiness! Cheers Jennifer - I do appreciate you responding to this. It shows that you are paying attention and actually care. Tell you what...I will do my best to give you another shot. And if I feel differently, I'll update my review. Thanks so much. Danny

Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast
Thomas H.

Came here on a Friday, and place was empty which is rare for a Friday....but I'll take it. I was seated right away, and my order was taken not long after. I asked for coffee, which the server poured me a cup and left the pot for me. That was a definite clutch for me. Then I could pour my own refills. I went with the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast. Really good stuff. I really didn't need syrup for this. It was sweet from head to toe! Of course, I added a side a bacon. First Watch is always consistent. You can't go wrong.

Club, just ok
Anne Marie O.

Our party ordered the Kid half waffle- plenty big and tasty- Kid pancake- huge and "very good" according to my kid- the club- huge but "not great" by my other kid- Florentine Benny w/out the muffin- delicious! The secret is in the acidity of the sauce. The waitresses oh so friendly, attentive, quick and not over bearing. I wish I'd gotten her name. Ambiance was typical brunch rush but not too loud and there was no wait on a Sat at 10:30 am

Sunny Seoul hash
Angela K.

I placed an online order and was able to pick it up within 10 minutes. I got the sunny Seoul hash and trifecta breakfast. I feel like the portions are relatively small, but the food always hits the spot. The hash was so good with the bits of pork belly and kimchi. Loved topping it off with a sunny side up egg. For the trifecta breakfast, I was able to replace the waffle with the cinnamon chip pancake, which I've been wanting to try. It was delightful, and the cinnamon chips had a nice crunch to them with every bite. The scrambled eggs were a bit overcooked, so next time I'd probably go for a sunny side up egg.

Had the million dollar bacon and it tasted like a million dollar . Wife said if she worked here they wouldn't have any bacon to serve lol. The wake up water melon drink is delicious and my plate was delicious also. We both had the trifecta breakfast except I had the waffle and wife had the carrot cake pancakes. They both were so good and our server Alex made our experience A+++.

How big of a group can they take cause they don't take reservations?

I'm really not sure but the place is small. I think the one off of 99 is a little larger

I noticed they have a decent size patio, does anyone know if they are pet friendly?

The patio is definitely pet friendly! ? So bring your fur babies!

Went to Kingdom bakery today to order a cake for my birthday party. It's a small place with a nice…read moreselection of items, sweet and savory. Note that their website needs some updating as it still shows some menu items that have been discontinued. They were able to offer some small samples of typical cakes, which was very helpful for us to make a decision. We decided on the Chocolate Mousse Cake as it awesome (I love dark chocolate). While there I wanted to try their sweet Kolaches. My Czech great grandmother used to make Prune Kolaches 50 yrs ago, but the family recipe is long lost. Czech Kolaches are very different from the Kolaches you find in America today. While Kingdom didn't have prune Kolaches, they did have the Eastern European style fruit Kolaches that I was craving. I'd been looking all over trying to find these. I even went to Fredericksburg hoping the German bakeries would have some, but they don't. I ordered blueberry, raspberry, strawberry and cheese Kolaches to go. This is the closest I've seen to what grandma made. We visited on a Saturday and did not see the owners. We were helped by two young ladies who were both very knowledgeable and helpful. They helped guide us through their ordering process and make the overall experience even better.

Kingdom bakery is the best bakery here in town. It's so good and the owner is super nice and…read morehelpful. The cakes are amazing, with the perfect amount of sweetness. These cakes are always a hit and not a miss. They also have a mini store inside, which I did not have a chance to browse through. Aside from little cake slices, you can also purchase larger cakes too. My review still holds as 5/5

I'm from Dallas visiting Houston and wanted to take my two year old here since she's been showing…read morean interest in cats. I love the concept and idea of a safe place for cats and us being able to play with them so we decided to take time out of our morning to check this place out. The cats were friendly, mainly sleeping but it was well maintained and looked like a clean and safe environment for the cats. The reason for my low review is due to the way the business is handling a refund which I thought would be simple and is based on a confusion with their staff members. Online, it states a reservation needs to be made so while reading the rules, we made a reservation. I signed the waiver for myself and my 2 kids and walked in first. I saw they had a 30% military discount and asked if I could get a refund and repurchase. I was told she couldn't refund but since it didn't apply online, I would be able to email them and request for the difference back. Ok, no big deal. I paid for the second adult in store since now I know, we get military discount. Fast forward, I email and they refuse to give a refund. They said online, they can't verify that we qualify for the discount which is why we can only get the discount in store. I find it extremely rude for them to continue to emphasize that discounts are not applicable to online reservation since their system can't verify it when they could just simply ask for us to send through email our ID to get the price difference back like many other businesses would. I could also send the receipt showing where they did already verify us in store and where the discount is applied in store. The employee told me I would be able to request a refund and if I can prove my eligibility, I feel like they should honor it. They did offer a complimentary visit but again, I'm from Dallas so with this bad experience, I'm not enticed to return or recommend this place.

I have seen cat cafe's and pug cafes like this all over social media, so my friend and I were…read morecurious after brunch while I was in town. We were not disappointed!! You first walk in and it is a small sitting area to switch your shoes (strange for those that don't have an Asian upbringing). It's a Korean company, and I think the front desk girl said something about it being the first of this specific company in Houston?? Anyways-- after you switch your shoes, you go inside and pay, like $20/hour to go hang out with all of these adoptable cats! If you are a first responder/teacher/student there is a small discount! You get 1 canned/bottled drink from the fridge and you get a few handfuls of freeze dried chicken to give to the kitty cats. All of their bios are on the walls, just read their collars or ask the front desk girl. TBH This was a well spent $20 for something. All proceeds go to the supplies for the care of these beautiful babies. There were like,20 something cats, but the space is big enough and they have a lot of those robot self cleaning kitty litter boxes so it does not smell strongly of cats at all! There are plenty of board games and books to read, there are plenty of places to sit and outlets for your phone or laptop. I fell in love with one cat named, "Rome" but I was unprepared to take him home to Dallas. TBH the only thing I didn't really care for was asking the front desk girl about anything-- it seemed like I was bothering her.
