    Great spot. We visited on a Sunday morning and as you can see easy to get a seat and parking was not an issue. The food and service were excellent. We enjoyed our experience and will visit again.

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch Rum
    LeScotcia S.

    Where do I begin? Let's start with My fave! The Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk is soooo good! It's an oatmilk and Rum drink that gives just the right amount of buzz on anyday :) The food has never really disappointed unless it was something new on the menu I ventured out on as They offer new menu items often depending on the season! You can never go wrong with the fresh juices They offer as They are healthy, fun, and aesthetically appealing to look at! It's usually crowded but not overwhelming! They are not open late in the evening so getting there the early the better is recommended! I've ordered to go many times and the food is almost as good when dining but the experience of eating at the restaurant doesn't compare to the freshness You get. My favorite food would have to be the grits, eggs, breakfast potatoes, and waffles! One of the limited time items I thoroughly enjoy is the vegan Cauli Rizo tacos! Yum :) Please bring Them back already! Oh, the avocado toast is yummy too! It's definitely a kid friendly vibe. My cubs love the pancakes :) They always get extra chocolate chips LoL but it's never overly sweet always the perfect amount. There's other flavors like carrot cake that is also really good! First Watch is the perfect destination for breakfast! Although, there is other options on the menu for lunch too! It's located in the parking lot with Target on Eldridge and Westheimer! The service is always pleasant :) You won't be disappointed!

    Blackberry Lemon Cream French Toast with Bacon
    Thomas H.

    Always a consistent breakfast place. Love their blueberry pancakes and their coffee. When ordering the "Tri-Fecta" or "Traditional", it always comes in the clutch. Right now, for a limited time, you can check out their Blackberry Lemon Cream French Toast. I got it with their bacon, and it was pretty damn good!

    Traditional Breakfast

    Deciding on First Watch always ends up as a good choice! This time we tried their Salted Caramel Holey Donuts- which are only available for the fall season. We got the Traditional Breakfast which doesn't come with pancakes so getting the donut holes were a perfect substitution!

    Went here for a breakfast putting with my friends daughter. I'd heard it was a great breakfast spot that served good consistent meals. Everything we had was delicious and the services was great as well.

    The Traditional
    Vanessa S.

    I think I found a new spot that I'll be going to for breakfast/brunch. Food had amazing flavor and very fresh. The "Parma Hash" I ordered it with sunny side up eggs, it came with potatoes, onions, Italian sausage, crimini mushrooms, and much more. A mix of two melted cheeses, definitely brought the saltiness. The mushrooms were definitely my favorite. Potatoes would've been perfected is they were on the crispier side. Orange juice freshly squeezed. Can't beat that. French toast was delightful. Each slice of toast was bigger than the average . Warm syrup to top it off. The other dish was the "Traditional" plate. Standard, eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. Eggs needed a little more salt but easy fix. Service was awesome, and very fast. Cute little spot and clean! We even had the door opened as we walked out!

    Lemon curd pancakes
    Cynthia E.

    I must admit that I was a little disappointed with my meal here. Loved the eggs and potatoes, even though the eggs were not medium. The potatoes were slightly crispy and well seasoned. Staff was friendly too. However, I ordered the lemon curd pancakes and I wish I had ordered something else. It's basically a big cold plop of lemon curd on top of a luke warm set of pancakes. The pancakes had ricotta cheese in them, but this didn't seem to complement the pancakes. Maybe if the curd was warm or the pancakes were hotter so that the curd would melt slightly? The pancakes were kind of crumbly with the ricotta cheese. The tiny dusting of powdered sugar and strawberries didn't help it much. I think this dish could work better if it were executed differently, for me anyways. That being said, I saw some really nice dishes coming out of the kitchen for other patrons, so I'll definitely be giving it another shot! Especially with all the high ratings :)

    The pancakes, chocolate chip and carrot cake were a hit with the grand girlies. Yogurt is always on point. Busy Sunday morning had short wait. Server was great.

    First time coming to this place, and it's delicious! The service was great and friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I will definitely come back to try the other dishes!

    Was in town visiting family and ended up coming here twice because it was so nice. The servers were extremely helpful and offered great food and drink recommendations. The Hacienda hash was okay but I really enjoyed the shrimp and grits! We came back because they have a dog friendly patio and they were sure to get our pup a bowl and cold water on a warm day!

    Grits, swimming in butter.
    Sugar L.

    I ordered breakfast this morning from a third-party delivery service. My food was delivered hot and within 30 minutes. I ordered a side of French toast and a side of grits. The French toast was light and fluffy and I enjoyed it. There was a small container of I believe jelly or marmalade included that was very good. I also ordered a side of grits. Grits were good, both the texture and consistency were good, but it was just way too much butter in the grits . I could not finish the grits for that reason. I believe when I ordered , the options online were either buttered or cheesy grits. I will select neither on my next order. That's my only quibble and other than that , a pretty solid breakfast.

    Coffee & Juice
    Robyn W.

    I've been here a few times now so I feel like I can truly say this place is good! I really like the vibe inside. It's spacious without feeling like you're sitting on top of people next to you and you can easily have a conversation with your company you came with. It's also been clean each time I've come, which sad to say in this area of town can be an issue in my experience (and I live on 'this side of town'). As for food, drinks, and service it's been consistent each and every time! Solid!! I love they bring you a thermos of GOOD coffee as well! The juice drinks are so fresh and delightfully refreshing. My favorite being the Kale Tonic. I've tried the benedict, market hash, and market veggie omelet - all were stellar. I just don't go out for breakfast that often, but when someone wants to and we're in my hood, this is where I will take them. So if you're in the area and craving some breakfast - I recommend this place. Is it going to be written up in food magazine, no ... but it's a very solid four stars from me!

    This lady ordered the tonic is leaving and no one still hasn't acknowledged me

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

I was catching up with my sister, we were there about 5 hours and the restaurant was empty. A mature-aged Asian woman came in, spotted the restroom door, and proceeded to it. The manager/owner (older man with balding hair) RAPIDLY went from the other side of the restaurant to intercept the woman right at the restroom entrance. He asked her what she needed, she told him to use the restroom, he then asked if she needed a table. When she replied "no", he stated that restrooms are for paying customers only. She was embarrassed, froze, said "Okay", and walked towards the exit. The guy saw my sister and I watching this unfold with screwfaces, so he tells the woman at the exit "Well go ahead and use it, you're already in here, I guess". While she was in the restroom he made a sign about their restroom stance and was taping it to the front door as the woman was exiting the building. We left immediately also. A business has the right to have such a ridiculous regulation, but this woman was dressed clean and came from a Lexus SUV. She wasn't homeless or some street prostitute that might be reckless in a public restroom. The idiot guy was petty, rude, inconsiderate, cold, and careless. I refuse to spend money at an establishment run by such a person.

We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
