Came here on a rainy Tuesday morning. Was surprised to see the place near half capacity. First Watch is known for their breakfast but they also serve lunch. Basically one side of the menu is breakfast while the other side focuses on lunch and drinks. I tried something that was new on the menu which was the strawberry tres leches french toast. I had been disappointed by other places on their rendition of this dish but not here. The leches part wasn't that obvious especially with the scant amount of evaporated or whole milk but that's okay. I wasn't too keen on having soggy french toast and was content to let the strawberries shine. My coffee was slightly burned but otherwise good. The service was slow but reflected the lazy rainy morning. I wasn't in a hurry and didn't mind. read more

First watch never disappoints. The service was quick, and the servers are always super helpful! My daughter got the French toast kids meal. The French toast was sooo good! They serve it on challah bread, so it's fluffy. Plus the syrup is warm as well. I tried a seasonal item, which was the steak chimmichuri bowl. It was just ok.. I probably wouldn't get it again. However, I LOVED the pickled peppers on the top. Those were so delicious. And of course, I had to finish my meal off with the morning meditation. I recommend that juice to everyone because it's soo good! read more

I love me some first watch!!! This location was good. I like that they have. Lot of space and that it wasn't too long of a wait. The hostess was nice and the waiter was a lot nicer. The only issue is that they have the SMALLEST TABLES!!! And for someone who wants to try new things, order a water, coffee, and juice, you can't. They are really biting the bullet and negating people who want to spend a lot here when they put them at the extra small 2person tables. Sadly I don't get to try anything new because of that. So I just got my usual, which was the trifecta and my friend got the lemon pancakes. read more

Visited First Watch with a friend and before we arrived, we did add ourselves to the waitlist. At the time, they weren't too busy, so the waitlist was unnecessary, but it did pick up after we came in so be sure to check on that if you're planning on going. I do have to say, the decoration of this place is a little funny. It has a nice vibe to it, but we couldn't help but giggle at the doors on the ceiling and the watering cans on the wall shelves. Our waiter was really friendly! I had the hot chocolate, which - you can't really go wrong with that. I then had the eggs benedict with a side of home fries. It was okay - nothing to really write home about but I wasn't mad at it either. I definitely think this place gets the job done, but if you are looking for a NICER brunch experience, I would recommend you look somewhere else. read more

I would say that the meal was satisfactory but did not leave with a feeling that I would have to go back. I had the scrambled egg whites with the chicken apple sausage and potatoes. Potatoes were plentiful and very tasty. Service was satisfactory but not friendly. The tables were evenly spaced for easy conversation and seats were comfortable. Parking is very tight. read more

I eat breakfast here once a week for the last year or so and the food and service have always been great. Today my friend and I walked in at 7:00am and could hardly hold a conversation as the music was so loud. No requested that it be turned down and my sever told me they had complaints but were not allowed to adjust the volume per the REGIONAL MANAGER. There are 4 people here in the restaurant and someone not here is controlling the volume of the music. We don't need music blasting at 7:00am. Maybe this is the appropriate volume at lunch with a full seating. I won't be back. Get your policy reasonable. Ciao! read more

I honestly did not even know this restaurant was at Maryland. My friend and I were looking for a place to have breakfast at and I love first watch. There was plenty of parking. We were seated faster than I expected. They offered us to sit at this like bar area when we were about to be seated, someone informed the waitress that that space was reserved for a large party that was coming in. The waitress was able to find another space for us to sit down. The restaurant was very busy. It was around 11 AM. As always, the food was delicious. Their coffee is so good. I had to stop myself at 2 cups. This is the first time I try their carrot pancake and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be ordering the same meal next time the restaurant was very clean and our food came out at a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

There was nothing wrong with the food. However the service was abysmal. It felt like a self serve restaurant. We sat and waited for several minutes before being offered water. After receiving the food we were not checked upon a single time. I didn't get my bill even after asking to pay for a long time. ugh. read more

Do NOT oo here unless you Uber. I went today with friends, and my car was towed. There were two other customers who also had their cars towed. I called the restaurant and was told that they have no control over it. That I had to get in touch with the tow company to get this addressed. It was a complete hassle. I ended up missing an important engagement that I had early afternoon due to trying to get my car. read more

Nice place for breakfast or brunch in Meyerland. So many choices so easy to satisfy everyone in your party. Omelettes. Pancakes. Tres leches French toast. Salmon Benedict. Farm stand breakfast tacos. Power bowls. Get on the waitlist virtually to cut down your wait time. Nice to be able to walk in and get a booth to celebrate a special birthday with my friend, Tiffany. Her bacado looked delicious. Filled and topped with lots and lots of avocado. My salmon frittata with a side of potatoes was also very good. Sign up for their First Watch rewards program.

First Watch - Tri Fecta with French Toast, and potato. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went out to brunch with a friend on a Friday at around 11 pm. This place is tucked in the center across HEB in Meyerland. There is parking around the building but can be filled fast. The place is decorated nicely and it was bustling with at least half the tables full at all times while we were there. We waited a bit before being seated and waited some more after being lead to our table. No offer to get high chairs for us - we have 2 kids aged 2 and 6 with us. We ended up getting them ourselves. The table itself was super tacky/sticky. There were two coffee cups on the table already and those needed extra strength to unstick them from the center of the table and set off to the side. So I chose this place because their website has ingredients and allergens listed out to the point that I was impressed. My friend is the only omnivore with no dietary restrictions. The rest of us are allium-free vegetarians and the youngest has a host of food allergies - wheat, eggs, avocado, peanuts, tree nuts, kiwi, and pineapple. I thoroughly studied the website so I had an idea of what to do and once I mentioned food allergies, our waitress double checked on them to make sure there would be no issues, so kudos to that. We ordered: FLORENTINE EGGS BENEDICT (no herb topping as that contains alliums): this was delicious. The eggs are on ciabatta which, though not traditional, worked. One egg was runny whereas the other was almost done, but I didn't mind too much. Also included avocado and sliced tomato. The hollandaise was perfect. I got the included salad and it was refreshing. The dish was a perfect portion and I really enjoyed it! You can request for seasoned potatoes instead of the salad, but those contain alliums. MORNING MEDITATION JUICE: this was beautiful! It comes out with a red top and orange bottom, made out of orange, lemon, turmeric, ginger, agave, and beets. Despite all that, it really works and tastes quite good. Even my youngest enjoyed it! I had to request for a kids cup to pour some of my drink into it for him. CHEESY GRITS: this is a side item and I got it for my youngest with the food allergies. He ate it and enjoyed it. He didn't finish it but I didn't expect that. I'm just glad he had something he could eat. Basically, it's grits topped with broiled melted cheese. Chocolate Chip Pancake (kids menu): this is a single, HUGE pancake topped with butter and syrup on the side that also comes with a side of meat of your choice. We had that separate so my friend could have it. My kid liked it and ate a third of it, which is quite impressive for her. My friend got the BLT Eggs Benedict with a side of seasoned potatoes (she really liked hers but was sad none of her eggs were runny) and Purple Haze (a lavender lemonade that is really delicious and pretty, with the help of butterfly pea tea). Despite the slow service, which is somewhat understandable since she was busy, and sticky tables, the food did come out in a reasonable amount of time and we all thought everything was good. I am glad there's a place that is so transparent about their food and that we can have something substantial at. A win! I will definitely keep this on my radar next time we want breakfast/brunch nearby. They also have gluten free toast that you can sub in at no extra cost, which is a nice touch. That's their only GF bread though. read more

First Watch - Florentine Eggs Benedict with Morning Meditation Juice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

We got on the list and got a table easily for 7 on a Sunday morning. The menu had great choices. The food was tasty but the issue was with the kitchen and service. We had to ask for additional water glasses. We had one in our party order an iced coffee and was given a hot coffee. We ordered a side of potatoes and had to ask for them after food was delivered. The delivery was the real issue as it was 4-5 mins between when the first entree's were delivered and the last one. Nobody in our party felt comfortable eating until we all received our meal. Nobody came to apologize or even check on us. It was 2 trifecta that were late to the table; disappointing. read more

First Watch - Million Dollar Potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

First watch has been a go to for breakfast for my family. There has never been a more than 5 minute wait when my family and I went and it's a nice welcoming atmosphere. As soon as you walk in you are always promptly greeted with a smile. Upon sitting you are offered a morning "Cup of Joe" and given the menu. My mom and I went the other day I got the Pastrami New York Breakfast Sandwich and Wedding Soup which were sooo good I left not a crumb on the plate. My mom got the turkey gravy biscuit, breakfast potatoes and scrambled eggs. She loved her biscuits but some of the potatoes were a little harder and her eggs weren't as fluffy as she'd like (she's def a food critic). Overall we had a good breakfast date. We will def be back! read more

We visited this restaurant while in town over the Thanksgiving holiday. First Watch is a place that we support as everyone in the family can find something delicious to enjoy. We joined the waitlist online and we were seated immediately upon arriving. I ordered the Morning Market Veg and the service was really really fast. The food was as delicious as it is at the First Watch near my home. Great food and service!! read more

I have been to this location a few times for dine in and carry out. The service has always been great. On my most recent visit, Christmas Eve, I was impressed with the service since that is a busy time. The food here is always great, the ingredients are fresh and always hot. I ordered the parm hash this time around. My niece ordered the Chickichanga and couldn't stop raving about it. I will say, this is not one of the breakfast spots that you will leave with leftovers. The portions aren't small but they aren't heavy and plentiful. It's just enough. They also don't have different side options besides toast. Also, I used my bday bogo coupon on my latest December visit (my bday is in June). I love that unlike most restaurants, the birthday coupon expiration just kept adjusting if I didn't use it. read more

Great place for breakfast or brunch! They have a diverse menu with options for everyone. Love coming here when I need a quick meal. The service is super fast, especially when ordering online. They also have great exclusive menu items for every season! Right now they have the "Golden Cinnamon Roll". It is phenomenal! Strangely reminds me of king cake from New Orleans. Would rate First Watch five stars, however, on multiple occasions they have gotten my order wrong. They always fix it quickly though. Give it a try for yourself! read more

It was for good for the fact we needed breakfast but it may of taken away from the experience we would of had had we dined in. read more

Of course any brunch spot is going to be busy during Sunday Brunch hours, but the wait here for 2 people wasn't too bad. Took about 20 minutes for us to get a table. I've eaten at other first watches before and knew the food would be good. Our waitress Gina was excellent. She was super sweet, personable and super attentive. She came by the table often to see how we were doing. The tacos were a good size and you get to choose your accompanying side. The only thing that it was missing is a good red or green salsa. They only had Pico or hot sauce. The Banana Granola Crunch pancake was big, fluffy and delicious! I love that they use fresh sliced bananas. I enjoyed their chicken apple sausage. I also love that their orange juice is fresh squeezed. No yucky concentrated juice over here. Great brunch experience because of Gina. I will ask for her next time I come back. read more

First time experiencing a FW. Arrived early-ish on Sunday morning and got seated straightaway. No real-dairy cream or milk for coffee, which was a mediocre cup at best. Ordered a hash bowl, came out lukewarm to cold, melted cheese had restabilized, bacon underdone, avocado not ripe. Butter wouldn't melt on 'toast.' I was confused that the aesthetic of the menu & room wasn't matched with same quality. Server was accommodating & friendly, but wasn't a 20-25%. Will probably not return when there are other great breakfast/brunch spots with higher-quality offerings. read more

I have to wonder if maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but at the same time, I think what I ordered is a specialty item. Based on the pictures and the previous reviews, I think I was just expecting more. Unfortunately, I was left greatly underwhelmed. The service was just ok. Our server was nice, but the service and attentiveness was slow. There were also people seated near us and one of the folks was vaping and not tending to her toddler. I could get past the toddler because of the fact that it's not his fault if he's not being monitored, but I'm pretty sure smoking and vaping are not allowed inside the restaurant and nothing was done about it. The interior was cute, and for 10:00 am on a Sunday, I expected a wait, but there wasn't one. The main attraction is the food. Let me be clear that it was not bad. It was very fresh, but it was bland and relatively flavorless (except for the jam). I spent the morning prior to dining watching a show on Food Network featuring bacon, so I was naturally drawn to the bacado omelet. I opted to get the salad on the side because 1) I need more veggies in my diet and 2) I love a lemony dressing. It came with multi grain toast and jam. The omelet was cooked perfectly, but it was sparse on filling and topping. I don't think salt or any seasoning was used in the preparation. I also really appreciate a salad that is not overdressed, but the lettuce was served almost naked. I probably should have asked for more dressing, but found myself trying to mix it with the little bit of sour cream served on top of the omelet. I will call the toast bread because it was hardly toasted at all. It did have a nice coating of butter and the jam was really good. The coffee was okay, not sure what brand it was, but I liked the carafe sitting on the table so I could pour my own refill. Overall, I put it as three stars, because I think I would go back, but it would definitely not be at the top of my rotation as Houston has some pretty amazing other competing options. I hope that if and when I do, I can upgrade my review! read more

My first visit to this chain was in Denver, CO in shortener September so when I visited Houston in November and saw this, I had to come!!! Same menu (as far as I can tell) as Colorado and the service here was A+!!! I think his name was Christian - very friendly, professional, and attentive. Highly recommend! Please open one in Long Beach, CA. read more

Love the food variety. This place has fast and friendly service. Will definitely keep returning!

The food was top notch. The service provided by Yazmin was just as good. The thermos of coffee left on the table is a very nice touch. The breakfast tacos were very tasty, all three came with a slice of avocado on top, came with a cup of beans. My wife got a half ham melt sammy with a cup of soup, we all tasted it and loved it. Our daughter-in-law enjoyed a stack of lemon ricotta pancakes....I can vouch for how good they were! We'll be back for more goodies. read more

I had breakfast at First Watch this morning as I waited for my husband's appointment to finish in the area and I really enjoyed it. I had the BLT eggs benedict and it was really good! The ciabatta bread was nice and crunchy and they made my egg just as I had requested. Service was quick and they were nice enough to sit me next to an outlet as they saw me walk in with my laptop. The place was quite busy but still with a relaxed ambiance. I'm docking off one star only because I had planned on ordering one more item, but the waiter gave me my check without me asking so I felt a little rushed at the end. Sadly, I forgot to take a photo of my breakfast. read more

Birthday Find: Free Entree at FW!!! Wooohoooo!!! Sign up for their e-club everyone!!! So, I sat at the Community Table, which is a neat concept for those who don't want to wait. However, it is quite messy. I couldn't decifer if the cups and mugs were new or older/used??? They do their best at cleaning it once in a while. I should've gotten my own table. Parking was okay. I lucked up and found a front spot. It is located in a shopping center, so there a spots here and there as people come and go. I sat invisible here for about a 10 minutes before I stopped someone and asked how it worked. I was a first timer to FW. He was not my server, but was nice and took my order. The Community Table Server came over, noticed some friends/ regulars and proceeded to take their order. She didnt ask for mine. Perhaps she saw me talking to the other server and assumed that I had all of my questions answered. Geeeeesh... I'm never wearing green again, I think I may have blended into the Green Screen. The menu was just okay. Typical breakfast foods, sandwiches, and salads... some with a twist. I wanted to try something different or unique to FW, but went there hungry. Wont do that again because the portions seem fairly slim. I ordered the Waffle with the sausage patty and potatoes. They were good/as expected. Then I saw a different menu that had Vanilla Chai Latte Pancakes. They sound tasty, but I will never know... I figured that there was no use in trying to change my order. It may cause a further delay. I upgraded my rating to 3 stars because my waitress did come by and ask how I was doing towards the end of my visit. At any rate, I finished my meal and settled the check and left. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but for now, it's a hard no. It's ashamed too because the waffle were actually good. Maybe I will try a different location for better service or go to the same location and get an individual. read more

The place is always extremely packed and loud and and feels really cramped...the chairs are uncomfortable and the bathroom isn't very wheelchair accessible, not to mention how close the tables are to each other. The presentation of food is pretty poor for meh food and online orders are almost always missing things. For example, we ordered online today and all three drinks were missing as well as the chorizo (the best part of the dish) on two farmhouse hashes. I wouldn't recommend it but the tonics and tea are good and so is the superfoods bowl, so ig those. I wouldn't have the coffee either; tastes like dirty water, but at least the waiters are pretty polite and nice. (A lot of people like the pancakes and waffles too but I've never had them) read more

I ordered The Works omelet twice from them - once from door dash and once in the restaurant. The DD omelet was better cooked actually and hotter. The one inside was meh, seemed kinda lukewarm. Staff was very nice. They had three waiters there and not a lot of customers (5) and I thought 15 minutes to get my food was slow under the circumstances. Part of the omelet was burned, some side potatoes were burned, and they use large flat slices of onion that are like from the outer peel, so tough to chew. CHOP the onions please. Ambiance is mid. Staff friendly. read more

What a delightful brunch spot! First Watch has a superb menu with plenty of options for those with allergies or other dietary needs. Walking in, I love the decor and vibe of the restaurant! The dishes are simple with a classy minimalistic aesthetic. The waitress was very sweet and attentive and the food came out in a timely manner. The bowl was the perfect size and tasted refreshing. My one complaint was the toast was too thick and the almond butter was very sticky. In fact, it was hard to open my mouth because of the butter and it would stick to my teeth! Regardless, the toast was good, presentation was beautiful, and I recommend First Watch. read more

I was driving around after an interview and needed to find food. First Watch was my first pick and I'm glad I picked it. The Morning Glory looked beautiful with a fresh interior. The staff was really nice. On to the Nitty Gritty. The menu looked great and there are your usual breakfast and lunch staples, so I always love to try a restaurants Eggs Benedict. It's fun to see how well chefs make hollandaise sauce. Folks, they did great. The hollandaise sauce was beautifully balanced and wasn't too tangy, or too bland. The grits were good, but to be honest they weren't as well done as the Eggs Benedict. Not much to say there. I think it may be the kind of grits they use, but it's wasn't as well done. The Morning Glory drink was wonderful. I already forgot what was in it, but I know that when I return I'll have another. Can't get enough glory in the morning. Oh, I also checked out the men's restroom. Sry ladies, K wasn't here to give me the work on the women's. The restroom was clean, cramped, but clean. read more

This is my second time to eat at First Watch. This first time I ordered avocado toast and today I ordered classic eggs benedict. Although I was hesitant to give the restaurant a second try i did. I know now my first disappointment was not a fluke. Both meals had a strange flavor. I consider myself a bit of a foodie with a pallet that appreciates a wide variety of flavors as well as ethnic cuisine. So I would not consider the dislike of the food at First Watch due to any squeamishness on my part. I definitely will not come back. read more
