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

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

This place is straight up about what it is: breakfast, brunch, and lunch only! They are open every day, but close at 2:30pm. BUT what this means is that I have finally found a place that will serve me brunch after 11am on a Friday!! That's a life win in my book. This location has been open for about a year now, but today was the first time I have been. They have a pretty extensive menu, but I didn't make it past the first item before I knew what I wanted! Normally I try not to buy avocado toast on principle because it is typically overpriced (and this wasn't an exception....$10.29), BUT I had seen pictures of how stacked the avocado was, plus it came with eggs to round out the meal a little better, so I decided to splurge. I've gotta tell ya, it was pretty delicious. There were no exotic frills like radish or seaweed or whatever else can be thrown on avocado toast - and that's how I preferred it! The avocado wasn't quite as fresh as what I had seen in the picture online, but it was still quite refreshing and just the right amount of food. The coffee was OK, but not my favorite. I was surprised to find that they didn't really have a wide variety of coffee options as a breakfast place. I tried to order a cappuccino but they did not have any (no espresso machine from what I could tell). I thought the house coffee might have been a show-stopper instead, but it was pretty standard diner coffee. At one point I tried to walk to the restroom, but had to turn back because there was a giant puddle blocking the entrance that was being mopped up -- don't know what that was about. Overall I really enjoyed my meal, and definitely plan on going back. read more

First time trying this place. Went with my family early morning. Let me just start with the service.... very sweet and attentive waitress. We had told her it was our first time and helped us with the menu... just that alone I will be coming back. The food and drinks were delicious and fresh. We all ordered different things from the menu. My father had the frittata, mom had an omelette, hubby had an egg sandwich and I had the eggs Benedict. We also ordered pancakes. Loved how tasty and light the food tasted. Full but not sluggish full... will definitely be coming back. read more

Extremely amazing Brunch place! The vibe is great and the service is exceptional. The food is extra ordinary. I ordered the following: 1. Coffee- great sip! 2. Lunch for 2 ( Market Veggie sandwich and tomato basil soup)- super delicious. The sandwich bread was perfectly toasted, and the mushroom-spinach-pesto filling was to die for! Soup was hearty too! 3. The Belgian waffles- the fluffiest and the most airy waffles I've ever tasted! The berry compote was delicious too- just the perfect amount of sweet and tart! Will definitely visit again! read more

I know...I know I should easily be able to make my own Avocado Toast at home! AND yes I have made it many times, but some days I just don't feel like it!!! Today was one of those days! Pretty much several know me and my order (I get my eggs over medium instead of the usual basted), and First Watch gets it right! I can place an order on line or call my order in - either way it's easy quick pick up and back home or work to eat it. I like easy ordering with good food I enjoy eating! I'll be back soon for another order of my favorite - AVOCADO toast! read more

The food here is spectacular. Every dish I've eaten has been excellent. The service can be hit or miss, but I've had pretty good experiences overall. The ambiance is calm and casual. It's never been noisy when I was there. It is a little pricey, so don't come here if you're strapped for cash. read more

I walked in and the place was open with a relax feel to it. The staff was on their game. They were making things happen. I think it will be the Millionaire Bacon and Tri Fecta..

First Watch - Traditional Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is just okay!! Okay so it's in the strip center on Beechnut St. across from the JC penny in Meyerland Plaza. Parking is decent. Sometimes on the weekends you might have to park a little farther down. But never anything too ridiculous. It used to be Egg and I before. I'm not sure if it's the same company. But I kinda doubt it. They do have the same hostess that used to work there before they changed. Unlike egg and I this place has been renovated. And now looks like a modern country restaurant. Okay the service isn't bad. But nothing much to talk about either. But again, I didn't have a situation that anybody really needed to go out of their way for either. I've been twice. The first time I ordered the waffle platter with eggs and bacon. It was just okay. My waffle didn't seemed as crisp as I preferred. But it tasted okay. My friend got the classic eggs Benedict. He thinks he's the connoisseur of eggs Benedict. He said that it wasn't that great. So our first visit was kinda blah. But we gave it another try. The second visit I got the breakfast tacos. They actually were pretty good. Corn tortillas were the only option and they didn't have salsa to offer as a condiment. Which was weird. But I did like the tacos. He ordered the BLT sandwich. And he seemed good with that as well. This place is pretty close to the house. So we might return. I'm definitely not opposed to the idea. read more

One of my go-to breakfast/brunch spots!!! The portions are generous, the menu is huge and the food is delicious!!! The service is always very kind and helpful. Vegan/allergy friendly options too!! I sure do love me some good brunch!! read more

Let's first begin with me saying that I love first watch. The ones in Florida have never disappointed me with their food or service. I'm actually really sad that this one is getting 2 stars but I guess not all restaurants are equal. Service/atmosphere: busy as always, so be prepared to wait. Luckily when I got there my bf had already secured a place in line. There's free water and coffee while waiting. The restaurant is spacey with plenty of tables and very clean. The waitress was nice and brought out a pitcher of water in the beginning. She never really stopped by after that to ask how we were doing or to refill the water when it was empty for about 10 mins. I think the worst part is that we waited more than 30 minutes for our food to come out which never happened before in the ones in Florida. 30 MINUTES. I was pretty hangry. Food: as a regular, my bf always gets the same thing bc he knows what he likes. So we got his usual power bowl and we decided to try something new and ordered the daily special: truffle mushroom frittata. Power bowl: great dish bc it usually tastes great and is healthy. So this is a quinoa bowl with sausage, sundried tomatoes, mushroom, and greens with 2 eggs on top. The times I've had it, it always came with a side of toasted bread, this time it didn't. We asked the waitress about it and she brought some out. The sausage in the bowl tasted...off. As if it went bad, sort of sour which was a turn off so I didn't eat any of it. And the bread that she brought out was so salty that I didn't want to eat it. Mushroom frittata: the reason why we got this is because we LOVE truffle. It came with seasoned potatoes bc we opted to substitute it from the greens. The egg was fluffy but I could taste the truffle at all. The shallots just overpowered it way too much. And again, the bread that came with it was SO salty. Overall, it was a disappointment and I probably wouldn't come back. read more

We decided do Door Dash breakfast from First Watch after seeing such a delicious menu. Our delivery was quick and easy. The food was still warm and fresh. I was impressed with the savoriness of the gravy and the potatoes. Sometimes potatoes taste so plain, but when I tried them, they were great! The eggs were perfectly sunny side up. The biscuits were warm and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The million dollar bacon... WOW. Yes it's $6, but you just gotta try it. It was worth the extra money spent. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually eat at the location when the food comes out fresh and not delivered across town. If you have the chance to sit down and come here, I would highly recommend. read more

Breakfast was amazing great service the bacon was too delicious we will definitely be coming back

Wow, at first glance it appears to be a a small quite little Mom and pop restaurant, but man is it far more than your little neighborhood spot. It's small and cozy but didn't feel crowded at all, I love the ambiance, very homey but still a bit more modern and upscale, loved that a lot! The customer service from the moment you walk in to the moment leave was top shelf and beyond appreciated. Now the food, the waffles were soft, flakey, and complete perfection! The bacon was delicious crispy and savory, I ordered the eggs Benedict with a BLT twist it was absolutely something I didn't know I was missing but it was beyond delicious! If you're ever in the Houston area def a breakfast/Brunch/Lunch drop spot! Last but not least order the lavender juice, beyond all my expectations from a lavender drink, I will think about that drink for probably ever!! read more

Horrible service. Waitress basically pushed us out the door by telling us the kitchen would be closing in 30 minutes. We had plenty of time to order and eat before closing but she set an aweful tone for our usually fun brunch visits here. Food and ambience was as expected but the waitress should not have been working that day!!! read more

First thing the food is good! There a few items I wouldn't order again but overall is good However the servers is average to below average. The first waiter that took our original order didn't place the whole order so we never got the appetizer nor the side dish. We ask for another drink to another waiter since our first one never came back after delivering the food. Drink never came so we had to order it again with someone new. By then who I assume was the manager stop ask us if we needed anything, we told him we were still waiting on our drink. Finally the drink came. When were trying to leave we ask for the check and a to go cup. The waiter only got us the check, so we ask for someone else to get us a to go cup, still never came, the manager? came back again and ask if we were doing okay I guess since we were done eating and had the check with us already, told him we were still waiting on the to go cup, he was the one that ended up bringing it to us. He was the same person to check us out so at least that was fast. read more

Service quality descending .. waitress leaning on the wall not attending to customers that walk in that needs to be seated --Not referring to the cashier woman. Alertness and attentiveness to customers is needed. The male tall server serving other tables gave quick & excellent service for multiple tables. This was not the case for myself which I needed to get be back to work. Upon arrival the restaurant was less than a quarter full assuming prompt services was available for dine in. Otherwise, good food quality. read more

We were looking for a brunch place cause the bf loves breakfast! First Watch came up on the list so we decided to go check it out since Meyerland wasn't very far away AND we wanted to avoid going into town cause of the Houston Marathon. We were super impressed by the place when we got there - the parking lot was full so we had to park a little ways away but there was plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. First Watch was super modern inside and decorated nicely! I love the farmhouse vibes! There was a 15 min or so wait on a Sunday morning, not too shabby - we were seated and it took them a minute to take our drink order and for the food to come out, but I'm assuming Sundays are one of their busiest days - so no biggie. We ordered the Avocado Toast - I was under-impressed. Nothing really special here - just slices of avocado on some multigrain bread. No real additions or flavors - though the menu said lemon and sea salt, those flavors didn't come through at all. I could easily make this at home. The bf got the Elevated Egg Sandwich and I could immediately tell by looking at it that the bun overwhelms everything else in the sandwich cause it's so large. I would suggest switching to a toasted thin bread or increasing the ingredients in the middle to even out the meat to bread ratio a bit. He thought it was just ok - mainly cause of the bread, but the potatoes were decent. I was trying to be on the healthier side and got the Power Wrap with egg whites and cremini mushrooms. I was surprised by how tasty the wrap was and it comes with pico and fresh fruits! I actually liked the wrap minus how wet it was - it got so drippy cause of the veggies that it actually made it hard to eat cause the tortilla would get soggy and it would fall apart. Definitely hard to dip or even pour pico on it for added flavor. But overall, it was good for a healthy option. The Kale drink tasted a bit on the diluted side, though you get tall glass for the price. It was alright - definitely no Central Market juice but it's good for the price. Overall, very impressed with the space. The food was mediocre, or at least what we ordered, with my power wrap being what I expected. I would give it another shot and come back for some normal breakfast fares to see how they compare to the rest. The lemon ricotta pancakes on the menu actually looked/sounded real divine! read more

This used to be The Egg & I. When I drove up, I was surprised at the name change. Come to find out, all of The Egg & I's went corporate and changed the name. Now it's got more of a farm to market kind of vibe and menu, which is fine. Before ordering, I was a little worried that with the name change and the menu change, would possibly come a quality and flavor change. Well it did, but it wasn't for the bad. The food was still pretty tasty. The one thing that did lack though, was the service. We barely saw our server! I will probably go back and give them another try and report back! read more

First Watch - Best bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Where do I start? Do I start with the perfectly seasoned potatoes? Do I start with the amazing service? Or do I start with the soft and fluffy waffles? No no no. I'll start with the star of the show, the million dollar bacon. Who doesn't like bacon? But when you add the perfect ratio of brown sugar, slight kick of cayenne pepper and the natural saltiness of bacon, you get something that equates to the best bacon you'll ever eat! Cooked absolutely to perfect, just enough chew and just enough crunch. I wanted to tell the waiter to keep that bacon coming it was so darn good. But enough about the star, let's get to the other characters. The waffle was amazing, I don't know if it was a buttermilk waffle but it sure tasted like one, could've had just a touch more crunch on the outside but nonetheless tasted phenomenal. Seasoned potatoes were seasoned wonderfully but just like the waffle it could've been made better with a slight crunch but that's just me nitpicking. Service was also pretty good for how packed they were and I have absolutely no complaints. Prices were fair and I'll be back for weekends to come! read more

First time visitor here. Had a phenomenal experience. Top notch service was provided to us by Vivian. She spotted me struggling with the menu and promptly offered help. She jotted down ALL my allergies and intolerances and asked for help to help me select my meal. Truly great service! Now the food - that was great too!

I drove home to visit my family in Houston for the weekend so I started my morning by meeting my cousin for Breakfast. This was our first visit so we were both excited to try this place. We had an amazing waitress who went over the menu and drink options with us. I can't remember her name but I think her name is Yesmina. While looking over the menu, our waitress brought us a few of their juice options to sample. They were all delicious. After looking over the menu, I decided to get The Works Omelette with toast and seasoned potatoes. My cousin ordered the Crab Omelette with toast and grits. I sampled my cousin's grits and her omelette. Everything was delicious and definitely more food than we could eat. The place fills up pretty quick so if you plan on coming on the weekend, I would come early. I am planning on coming here very soon when I go back to Houston to visit my family. Excellent food, customer service and reasonably priced. read more

We love First Watch. We were visiting Houston and decided to go to this location for breakfast. This location does not have the customer service that our place back home has. We ordered the pumpkin spice donuts that's supposed to come with caramel apple butter and creme anglaise. Our server came our with just the donuts. No sauces. No explanation either until I asked. Her response was that they ran out. She said they are trying to make more. She came out with the anglaise sauce. I wanted to caramel. It was the reason I ordered it. Her reply was that they never had it. How about letting us know that before we order? Of course they still charge the same price. My husband ordered the truffle mushroom skillet. He substituted the bacon for chorizo. He had a dime size of chorizo put in. He asked if he could get more. Again, no apologies. My skillet came without the toast. My eggs were supposed to be over easy. The eggs were cooked through. No apologies. I asked to speak to the manager. Never came to meet with us. Avoid this location. read more

So pissed off that I didn't check my order before leaving. I got the trifecta and only got freaking eggs and two pieces of bacon. So mad because I was already running late. This is the second time this happens to me at their location and I've learned my lesson. No fork either. The Floridian French toast was ok, servers are always nice though. If you may please ensure to put everything in the bag as it's supposed to. Greatly appreciate it. read more

If you are looking for a really good lunch / brunch spot here ya go! It's good for friends, families or day dates. Make sure you put yourself on their waitlist before you go or you could be waiting in your car or outside for a while. Drink from the juice bar: Kale tonic fresh juice. This was my jam! If you are used to getting fresh juices this is for you and half the cost. I got the Chickichanga - very flavorful and savory. You get potatoes and fruit on the side. Make sure you get your potatoes extra crispy they are a little undone. The reason I only gave four stars is the service was lacking. Our waitress was inattentive. When she gave us our meal I had to ask for silverware. Then later we had to ask for napkins, we didn't see her for another 20 minutes. She was busy don't get me wrong but I like when waitstaff are equally attentive to all patrons. It appeared we spent quite a bit of time - waiting. read more
