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.

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!

Catherine L.

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.

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!

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.

Devin C.

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!

Ana F.

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!

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.

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

The location is great, right on Westheimer. The parking can be troubling and hard to find a spot when you're going for breakfast on the weekend. The wait is a little annoying because it's packed. The food price is a little high and the portions are not as much. read more

I hear first watch is buying/bought out the Egg and I Restaurants.we went in on a Sunday maybe an hour before close and were greeted right away. Our server was nice and we told her we needed time to look at the menu and she offered some suggestions and gave us a few additional minutes. I decided on the egghaus sandwich that includes bacon and avocado, it was delish however i thought my potatoes were a little firm to bite but my friends didn't complain. Everyone enjoyed their food and i ordered a blueberry pancake to share, the pancake is the full size of about a 8-10" skillet so I'm glad i was in the mood to share however it was nothing about it that blew me away in flavor. I love breakfast so i would definitely try this place again and the service met my expectations. read more

This is based off of a to go order. I came in and order the brisket short rib Benedict. I was unsure of the Parmesan sauce and the server let me taste it beforehand which I appreciated. And I was able to sub the onions for avocado. Took about 15 mins to cook. Which was probably too long because my poached egg was overcooked. Didn't realize it til I got home. Other than that the meal was very good. But the manager did state that he would replace my meal. Unfortunately with something else because the item was seasonal and was ending the next day. But they should definitely consider keeping that on their menu though. read more

Food was DELICIOUS! I ordered an elevated egg sandwich and a morning meditation for my drink. The sandwich was great, bacon was perfectly crispy, avocado was fresh (none of that brown stuff I get at some places). The drink was so fresh, tasted like my moms when she makes fresh organic juices. My husband ordered a Tri-fecta and purple haze for his drink. His waffle was so fluffy and you could taste the vanilla in the batter, wasn't plain tasting at all. His drink was really good also, tasted like drinking from a lavender cloud lol not overly sweet but you could taste the individual flavors in the drink. Our waitress was Sheila, she was very nice. I had asked to sit in a booth instead of where she was gonna sit us at first and she was nice enough to go clean it for us so we could sit there. She gave us suggestions on our orders and was very pleasant to talk to, good sense of humor. We will definitely be going back read more

First watch has always been a great place to stop by for brunch. Other than having to patiently wait before being seated. However, social distancing is important. I recommend asking for Enrique, if you're lucky enough to have him there that day. He's fast, observant, and focused. You'll be promptly served and asked about your stay, while also wondering if you could possibly provide any feedback for room to improve on quality of both food and service. read more

Farmhouse Hash for $10.99 which was delicious and chock full of cheese, avocado, and bacon. Coffee $2.79. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes at $9.79 which were light and fluffy and very delicious with yummy lemon curd on top. They give you your bill and you go to the service desk to pay for your food so you can leave when ever you want. Loved it...Thought it was competitive enough to go against Le Peep but much more healthy and fresh items. Purportedly local farm to table. read more

I've been to other locations snd had good experiences with dine-in breakfast and lunch. Today I was in a bit of a hurry and wanted something healthy. I chose the kale salad with chicken, almonds, roasted carrots, Parmesan cheese and cranberries. They advertised the chicken breast to be served warm and with chiabatta bread. The bag with my meal came out pretty quickly and was sealed, for safety, I noted. When I arrived at my destination about 20 mins later I opened the bag. No bread. Oh well. Maybe they don't give bread with take out orders, I thought. Then the salad...the chicken was indeed warm. It melted the Parmesan under it (normally melted cheese is a good thing), not on a salad. The greens were limp and wilted. The cheese was memo ed in big chunks. It was unappetizing, at best. Well, at least I saved calories with no bread and cheese removed. Very disappointed. read more

Had a very nice brunch this past Sunday at First Watch, the waitress was attentive , the staff was friendly and the food was fresh delicious and hot. Even though it's close by it was my first time visiting but will not be my last . I had the lemon ricotta pancakes , sausage , eggs and hash browns and a iced coffee . The pancakes were amazing, honestly everything was good I will say it was a lot of ricotta on the pancakes so I scraped some off but still really good. I finished everything except the hash browns I was to full. The customer service was great , I did have to wait about 20 mins but I was told it would be 30, but they sent a text a little sooner to let me know my table was ready. I will definitely return and kind of upset I hadn't tried them sooner , but will probably get my food to go. There was sweet, humid syrupy smell in the restaurant that I wasn't to fond of but the food was excellent . read more

They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

When I asked some friends…read morewhat is the best burger spot in Houston, they said Joy Love Burger so of course I had to investigate. I assumed this was an offshoot of that based on the initials and I don't think I'm wrong. The burgers are always good here! They season the meat, which gives it that extra flavor. To me though, the star of the show is the croissant like bun. It's always so soft and delicious! It's also nice that the kids meal is a decent size burger with fries and a regular drink. Can't beat that for a small person like me! The staff is always friendly and I've never had a bad experience here. Can't wait to go back for my next burger.

Yesterday was my birthday, and I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time. Seriously,…read moreabout a year. Every time I'm in town, it's either too far, I'm short on time, or (of course) they're closed. FYI: they're closed on Sundays... learned that the hard way, lol Today, though, fate intervened. I was in the area visiting one of our business clients, drove right past it, and immediately told myself: after this meeting, I'm turning around and eating there. No excuses. Fast forward...I parked in front, and I swear it felt like there was a halo over the restaurant name. Okay, maybe I'm being dramatic... but if you've been craving a place for a year, you'd understand. Walking in, the décor was warm and inviting. There's wall artwork and a shelf filled with Filipino snacks...Chocnut, which instantly took me back to childhood. That alone already had me smiling. My servers, Rhiley, Hailey and Adrian weresuch a pleasant surprise. Super welcoming, shared a bit of the restaurant's history, and made the whole experience feel personal. The vibe reminded me of the hangout spots my little brother and I used to go to comfortable, familiar, and full of heart. Now, the food...I knew I was getting a burger... but deciding which one? Not easy. They've got multiple options, and yes...burgers with rice combos (Filipino-approved ). I went with the Jaboi Burger: Siopao bun, Wagyu patty, medium rare, Sauce that tied everything together beautifully...I also ordered the garlic fries and sampled their sauces. My favorites? The house-made mayo and BBQ...both solid wins. To end the meal, dessert was a must. I ordered the halo-halo (small size), which honestly is perfect for sharing. A sweet, nostalgic way to close out the experience. Everything was amazing. Truly worth the wait and yes, I'll definitely be back.

I went to Flippin' Patties in the Energy Corridor after hearing so many rave reviews, but my…read moreexperience was a bit disappointing. It may have just been an off night. Once we sat down, we were served a small bowl of potato chips which were pretty bland. We ordered the lechon kawali as a warm up. It was very crispy, dry and lacking in flavor. The sauce tasted like a mix between balsamic dressing and brown gravy, but didn't really help improve the taste of the pork belly. For entrees, we ordered the Flip 'n Patties burger and the mini Kamayan. The burger itself was good, but the unexpected pickle (not listed on the menu) kind of ruined the burger for me. The mini kamayan arrived mostly lukewarm, and several of the meats were dry. The chicken pupu was decent, Tito Don's BBQ tasted like a dry bbq brisket, the longganisa reminded me of a seasoned hamburger patty. I skipped the fliproll after my friend said it was bland. The decor is very casual, the service was friendly and attentive, and parking was easy with a free lot.

I felt like a celebrity when entering (because there was a gentleman at the front door, opening the door for me (along with a group of others), saying how happy they were that I was there); I looked around and noticed a few notables there along with me at 7am (mainly athletes, not movie stars). If you join their loyalty club online, you will receive an email with a buy one, get one offer (which I did). When you are seated, you will receive a pot of their Huila coffee for FREE! It is a dark roast (which I love). Immediately after drinking their Kale Tonic, I felt invigorated! That is some great stuff. I ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict for breakfast, substituting seasoned potatoes for greens at no extra cost (yea, baby--I'll diet tomorrow). My choice for the free meal was the Roast Beef Havarti sandwich, cut in half for lunch and supper. The young man who took care of me was smart, attentive and quick. The floor manager who stopped by was entertaining and observant. I had a great beginning to my Saturday. I rarely eat out because I enjoy my own cooking, but this was a treat. read more

Pretty cool concept. They decorated this place with some modern element for a traditional breakfast place. Love the high ceiling even the place was full still don't feel too crowded. Dish you have to order is the truffle mushroom frittata, splendid. After I finished I felt that I can have another one. Pork chop with eggs is decent just way too sweet for my liking. Lemon ricotta pancake was excellent I so added blueberry in it to have the extra kick. The place was huge and I didn't have to wait to have breakfast. That's the best part. Will come back again!!! read more
