Absolutely amazing service from Odie, highly recommend requesting her!! Food was amazing. I highly recommend upgrading your potatoes to the million dollar potatoes!! Will definitely come back! read more

Came here about 30 minutes before closing on a Wednesday. Ordered a trifecta featuring the blueberry pancake after seeing a Tik Tok that raved about it here (Thank you Jesse Aguilar!). The pancake was large and delicious. My soft scrambled eggs were the right consistency but not seasoned. The cheesy grits was lacking salt. Hey, that's what the salt shaker was for. This is a larger location than my usual First Watch in Meyerland. Vaunted ceiling and even a bar area. Parking is plentiful and also easier to get in and out of without the bustling traffic of a mall nearby. Was surprised to see people still coming in at 10 minutes before closing. I thought I was naughty. read more

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

I'm not a fan of leaving negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing. I came to First Watch for brunch on a Sunday after church, fully expecting a busy restaurant but that wasn't the issue. The service from our waitress was some of the worst I've experienced in a long time. She came across as rude and dismissive from the start, and every interaction felt like we were inconveniencing her. Hoping to resolve the situation, we asked to speak with a manager. Unfortunately, that didn't accomplish much. The interaction left us feeling frustrated, especially because there wasn't any meaningful effort to address our concerns or improve the experience. The food itself was fine, but decent food can only make up for so much when the service leaves such a negative impression. Customer service is a huge part of the dining experience, and this fell short. read more

Wow. Easily the worst service I've experienced this year. We weren't greeted when we walked in and the overall vibe felt off no one seemed happy to be there. Water wasn't brought out, our waiter took a long time to come to the table and no one checked on us during the meal. I understand being short-staffed. I own a restaurant myself so I try to give grace. But when I ordered the Monterey Club, my girlfriend noticed a piece of hair in the sandwich. At that point, I completely lost my appetite. What made it worse was that there was no apology or acknowledgment. It honestly made me question whether there could've been more in the other half I had already eaten. The salad was also very dry and I asked for extra dressing that never came. The only bright spot was my girlfriend's potatoes, those were actually really good. Overall, just a disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Came for breakfast after a workout! Was sat immediately and great service! I came back for the limited summer menu!! The million dollar breakfast sandwich AMAZING! So balanced and so delicious!!

Another great location of this popular breakfat-centric chain, this one in the trendy Upper Kirby district. Very busy on a Sunday morning but at 10:45 we managed to hit a lull and get seated right away. By the time we finished there were 10-15 parties waiting to be seated. Great selection of standard and specialty breakfast items. The omelettes were perfectly cooked. Pancakes were decent but a touch on the dry side. Their fruit juices/blends are not to be missed. read more

Always great service when I come here. I have my go-to staples here at First watch and that did not change. The food is consistent no matter when I come or the location i go to, which is something I love. Consistency makes for greta service and a great customer experience. Coffee or kale tonic are ny go to beverages and I love the farmhouse skillet hash.with toast and sometimes a side of fruit. Ive never had a bad server at first watch! I will always patron this business. read more

Gabby our server was great. Arrived to our table in timely fashion. Gave us maybe a few minutes for us to decide what we wanted, and had our food to us with great timely. Our food was great as well.

I've come here so many times and it just gets worse and worse. There are 3 good waitstaff in the place. Most of the time we're forgotten, ignored, get part of what we want, or argue for something to be taken off the tab because they invent new pricing nearly each time we come in. For a breakfast place toast should be pretty basic. As a matter of fact, it should be a highlight. But no, not here. I won't go into details, but today, between our waitress, ignoring us for 10 minutes at a time or longer, forgetting to bring water, coming out with excuses of how someone threw out the re-toasted toast twice, and finally presenting burnt offerings, I think we're done. I watched through the kitchen window as our waitress was cleaning up for the end of her shift instead of taking care of customers. A one off situation like this could be forgivable, but, man it is every single time we come here. The only exceptions were when we have the tall Waiter who is really talkative or the other waiter who has tattoos up and down his arms. He's really kind. We tried! We actually tried a lot harder than they did. Skip it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I loveee first watch! I've been to quite a few locations and i feel like the layout of this one is definitely the best! There's a good size bar that also opens up to an outdoor area. There's enough windows that light up the space so you don't feel crammed like the other locations but still gives off cozy vibes and yet seems so open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a bunch of single use restrooms which I appreciate and they are always clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is always 10/10. My go to is either the elevated egg sandwich or one of the skillet hashes (all are good). I like getting the iced coffee it's definitely on the sweeter side close to chocolate milk lol soooo if that's not your vibe don't order that. A lot of their juices are really yummy too. I love getting the seasonal items. Cinnamon chip pancakes are backkk and are the best thing!! Love that they give you warm syrup in the bottle. Potatoes are also a staple and an honorable mention. Service is always good, wait staff is very sweet and check up on the table often. read more

Third visit to First Watch for Father's Day. If you're looking for an affordable organic/farm to table restaurant in Houston this is perfect! Dining experience has been the same though -- service is not the greatest, you have to wait a very long time before a server comes to your table and they generally are not very pleasant and seem to want you to get in and out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside or bar seating is a vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shrimp and grits were fine, but you get more scallions than you do grits.The Watermelon wake-up drink was generally good (tastes like plain watermelon juice), but even adding a watermelon slice garnish/flag would take this up a notch. Million dollar bacon is 10/10! read more

My experience at this First Watch was superb! I went on an early Sunday morning with my girlfriend which is the ideal time to be considering it was not super busy. Our food was delivered to our table within around 10 minutes of ordering which was super quick! I got the Chorizo Omlet which had an awesome Pico De Gallo and she had the Tri Fecta which was satisfying but did not make me filled super filled either. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance of the restaurant makes me feel like I am at a farm which is nice and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ordered Uber Eats from here as I was in the mood for some brunch in Houston, from the comfort of my hotel, before flying back home. This restaurant came up as one of the better options in town, so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered their Tri-Fecta meal (eggs, pancake or waffle and a side of breakfast meat) with an additional order of fresh fruit, and both items tasted absolutely delicious, and it was just the kind of food I needed before a relatively long flight. The eggs tasted juicy and not rubbery, which is always important. As did the sausage, and the pancakes were even better. Just see the photo attached and you'll see what I mean. Since I only ordered Uber Eats from here, I cannot speak to what the service or ambiance is like here. That will have to be for the next time I come to Houston. I'll definitely order from here again and would recommend for everyone to give this place a try. read more

First Watch - Tri-Fecta and Fresh Seasonal Fruit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service was extremely disappointing. I was already having a rough day, and unfortunately my experience here made it worse. This was my first time visiting, and the food did not meet expectations. The potatoes in the traditional dish were inconsistent--some undercooked, some overcooked, and some burnt. The eggs were just okay, and the hot chocolate was overwhelmingly sweet to the point I had to ask for milk to dilute it. As for the service, my waitress, Lesley, initially checked on me within the first 10 minutes, but after that, she never returned. When I needed to use the restroom, I had to ask a busser where it was because she was unavailable. When I came back, I noticed staff at the front pointing and calling her name while looking at me, which made me feel uncomfortable, as if there was an assumption that I had left without paying. When I returned to my table, the receipt was already there. At that point, I had lost my appetite and interest in finishing my meal. I also noticed that she continued assisting other tables around me but did not check back in with me or ask if I needed anything, including whether I wanted my food or drink to go. Another staff member from the front eventually approached me, and I requested a water to go. She asked about my experience, and I was honest--the food was average at best, around a 5/10. She brought a manager over, who offered to comp the meal, but I had already paid. The manager later removed $6.99 from the bill and labeled it "making days brighter," but to be honest, my day was not brightened by that gesture. This is not written to be rude or unkind, but I do not want anyone else to have a similar experience. I also noticed multiple plates being sent back to the kitchen with food still on them, which in hindsight should have been a sign. However, since this was my first visit and the restaurant came recommended and looked nice, I wanted to give it a fair chance. Overall, the lack of service, communication, and food quality left a very negative impression, and I do not plan to return. read more

Went here a couple years or more ago when it first opened at this location. Said we would never go back and yet today, with limited options, we decided to go. Let's just say nothing has changed. Service is slow and lacking. I asked for whole milk with my coffee and was brought 2%. I asked if they had whole milk or cream and was told no. What kind of breakfast place doesn't have whole milk or cream?! The only cream they have is the toxic crap on the table (international delight creamers). The toast that came with the kids breakfasts was like cardboard. The eggs and bacon were acceptable. I had the BLT Benedict and it was decent. My husband had the avocado toast with smoked salmon and said it was fine. The food took a long time to come out and not once did our server check in with us. Then someone else brought the food and he once again didn't check in. In fact, he only came back over once we were essentially done. What a waste of time and money. read more

Ms Tammy R was so pleasant and welcoming for our breakfast it brightened our morning! She was attentive and efficient with our order.

Thank you Tammy! read more

Thumbs Up: [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean when I arrived early in the morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Neutral: [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, there was a noticeable odor that smelled like a wet dog. I'm not counting this against the restaurant (hence the neutral rating), as it could be due to the recent wet weather affecting the building or a floor mat that needs cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thumbs Down: The waitstaff pushed upgraded drinks quite hard. While I understand sales might be slow early on a weekday, not everyone drinks caffeine or enjoys sweet juices--sometimes water is just fine. Unfortunately, even though I was the only customer, it took much longer than it should have to get a glass of water. Thumbs Up: Once I placed my order, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Thumbs Up: The Works omelet was delicious, and I especially appreciated the flavorful mushrooms. Thumbs Down: The potatoes, however, were burnt (see photo). read more

Man I love First Watch, even though it's a chain its a classic brunch spot and is always good. The food here is large and filling. It's breakfast classics and the specials that they have are a fun way to change things up. The only negative is that when they're very busy the service drops in quality, you feel a little forgotten about. Overall great food! read more

This was my second time coming but at another location. The spot was really cute and bustling when we went around lunchtime. It is located in a plaza so there is more than enough parking which is really appreciated. I ordered my go-to brunch fave, the classic eggs Benedict which were a hit. The hollandaise sauce was very flavorful and one of the best I've had. The only thing that would have made this dish a 10/10 was that my eggs were not runny at all which was a bit disappointing. We also ordered pancakes to share which were your typical pancakes but very big. My friends really enjoyed their hash and grain bowl and they also raved about the tres leches French toast which looked amazing. Service was also great which is always a plus. Will be back to try out their drinks and other dishes next time! read more

I'm mildly obsessed with First Watch's banana granola pancake. So as more First Watch locations pop up ITL, this glorious pancake becomes more and more accessible for me. This location is on Kirby near The Original Chop Shop (another goodie). There's patio seating, plenty of parking, and takeout/to-go options. But dine in, so you can enjoy unlimited coffee and a warm breakfast/brunch. My go-to at FW is always start with the pancake (yes, we share it as an appie), followed by their avo toast, smoke salmon bennie, and then quinoa bowl. Other than that, I haven't strayed too far from these dishes. Their juices are also worth ordering. Service is always good. Not a single complaint, y'all. read more

Against my better judgment, I decided to give this place another try after a terrible first visit. I figured enough time had passed and maybe things had improved--unfortunately, I was wrong. The same staff with the same lack of customer service skills. We were seated and left sitting for about 10 minutes without a single person acknowledging us. The waitstaff just looked over but never approached, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. Eventually, we decided to leave, and only as we were walking out did someone bother to ask if we had been helped. read more

Stopped by for a quick Togo breakfast. Ordered the healthy turkey and it was very very tasty and fresh. Now there was a avocado sauce that was advertised on the menu but i think it was absent on my dish. Any rate it was still very good. I walked in and the restaurant was super busy and I was quickly attended to. They gave me the seasonal menu and they currently are offering up cinnamon sugar donuts. They were pretty good and it comes with chocolate sauce yum! I'll definitely be back to try other things on the menu. read more

I love first watch, definitely one of my favorites. But my first time at this location & the service was not as good as it usually is everywhere else. Our server Kala had a passive aggressive attitude towards us the whole time. We ignored it but you could definitely feel the tension. Every time we asked for something like water cups, napkins, etc, she would look at the table confused & then walk away to get whatever we asked for. The food was great but didn't ask for the nasty attitude from our server. Everyone else here was polite & very sweet with us. read more

A cool, no thrills, breakfast cafe. Was able to walk in without reservations on a Sunday afternoon, was seated quickly and served promptly. They had a vast menu with plenty of options, along with fall seasonal specials. Everything priced very reasonable. I'd definitely visit again.

I've ordered from this location so many times and early on things were great! Well this last experience was very, very poor. The food, specifically the breakfast potatoes came burned and the portion size was lacking in a major way. While I have never visited this location in person, I was pleased that they did well with ordering take-out/delivery. Thankfully (after going back and forth) Doordash was able to come through and provide me with a refund/credits to my account. While I know the issue was not with Doordash I still appreciated the fact that their customer service was helpful. I'd highly recommend going in to try this establishment. Outside of that, my meal was fresh and prepared well. The other meal appeared to be very rushed and looked over while being prepared/packaged. Do better, First Watch. read more
