Nut allergy friendly: First Watch is one of the most allergy conscientious brunch places I frequent at any location. Service is still relatively quick (about 20mins for food). The Healthy Turkey I felt like was a bit pricey but had some of the better macros on the menu when I was feeling pretty full from a big dinner the night before. Lemon Ricotta pancakes were shared among four people and was enough for all of us - quite rich, but very fluffy pancakes! read more

Good food, good service , the ambiance was good overall good if im in the area I will return

Came here the other morning for breakfast and I wasn't disappointed! The restaurant was clean and we were seated right away. Our server was very nice and provided good service. We got the Morning Meditation juice, the Farmhouse Hash, and the Bacado Omelet. The juice was AMAZING! So refreshing, and you could taste every ingredient that was in there. The Farmhouse hash was excellent as well, I really enjoyed how all the ingredients mixed well together. The Bacado Omelet was great too. Overall, I had a great experience when I came here. I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent experience! Great customer service. He was so kind and he thought ahead which we appreciated it. I got the hash with bacon and added red peppers. It was pretty good. I miss the honey chipotle chicken hash they recently had but this was the closest thing I could get to it. This one is hearty, a great portion and you can't beat the price. Great music, super clean and quiet. I would recommend this location! read more

We checked in and they told us there was a 15 minute wait. 40 minutes later, they told us ten minutes more. A total wait of 1:15 hours and still no hope. I told the hostess to tell me the truth so I could leave. Totally unprofessional management! read more

Best considered a brunch place, First Watch has a variety of egg dishes, some sandwiches, and their claim to fame is the juices, with nanes like "Kale Tonic" and "red medicine". Food is decent and not over priced Service is good, I like they put out a carafe of coffee and a milk bottle of water, so you never run out. Ambiance is industrial, so it is noisy, hard wooden chairs arent super comfortable. In December, the air conditioning was excessive read more

I love this place. Everything is farm to table fresh. Atmosphere is lively. They serve breakfast, brunch and lunch and close at 230pm. I ordered the Floridian French toast which was a generous portion I could share with my niece, it is so delish.. kid approved. I also had a fresh cup of oj, they have other juices that are healthy and combine ingredients like kale ginger beet etc. We've also had the million dollar bacon before, man it's like Crack, you may become addicted! I've also had their tomato basil soup which is so good!!! They used to serve blueberry lemon cornbread which was so good, but now it's bacon cornbread which I haven't tried so I can't review that. I do definitely recommend this place! Staff is always friendly and provides good service, and I've never had to wait to be seated even though they get busy. Price point is fair for what you get. read more

First watch has always been my go to spot for breakfast and brunch! This was my first time at this specific location. It wasn't too busy when we came in, but when we left around noon, a line started to form. I was craving something sweet so I went with the classic chocolate chip pancakes. Their pancakes are some of the best I've had. They are fluffy and light. Buttery goodness. The syrup is served warm and hot. I love drizzling it over my pancakes and dipping them in the syrup. My friend really enjoyed his lemon ricotta pancake as well. He could taste the lemon flavor throughout the pancake batter in addition to the lemon curd. I also tried the mint mocha, which was a miss. I couldn't exactly taste the mint or the chocolate, and the cold foam was like whipped cream. Our server was super attentive to our needs, friendly, and enthusiastic! Plenty of parking available. The vibes are like your typical brunch spots. read more

I always enjoy First Watch. Pretty consistent across all the locations. Breakfast on the healthier side. Service quick and servers friendly. I had their seasonal steak and egg hash today and it was delicious - mixed in with mushrooms and spinach made for a good combo. Shared that and a chocolate chip pancake and that was perfect between the two of us! read more

This place has to be one of the worse first watch locations I have been to. From my understanding these are how the potatoes are made. The whole plate smelled and tasted burned.when I informed waiter she said do you not want them crispy... from the managers mouth this is how they are made. When they brung a new batch they still had a burned taste. read more

Great breakfast brunch cafe. Food was good, and so was the staff. And they serve very delicious and healthy items.

The first time we came here, it was relatively newly opened. Had a few service hiccups, but the food was very good, and the pancakes are some of wife's favorites around. We have been back a few times since, this last time was just outstanding thanks to Rogilio. One of the best waitstaff of any restaurant we have been to. Very attentive, but not overly so...a balance that is hard to achieve from our dining experiences. Everything was prompt, friendly, and all smiles. Food wise, I had the biscuits and turkey gravy with a side of bacon. It was absolutely delish. The bacon was a little pricey for what you get (over $5 for 4 slices), but it was done well and I get the rising food costs. Still, I may make do next time unless I'm jonesing for some pig candy again. My wife had the 2 egg pancake breakfast, with a side of grits. The oatmeal banana pancakes were fantastic, and she is a hard judge. The eggs, like mine, were perfectly sunny side up with a runny, creamy yolk. The grits were really nice too. I think, but don't quote me, they use yellow cornmeal grits instead of the usual white hominy grits. They were super tasty and I'd happily order more. Becoming one of our favorite breakfast spots, especially if Rogilio is working, thanks bud read more

I love this place! The food is awesome and the service is great also! Try the Chipotle chicken hash

If you're looking for a hearty, filling, delicious breakfast, this is your spot. The farmhouse skillet hash is my absolute favorite here. Don't worry the eggs come with the whites I removed them after getting my food (I personally prefer the yolks). The whole meal is very filling and it's a pretty big serving in my opinion. The million dollar bacon is pretty delicious if you like bacon and maple syrup/honey. I think it pairs beautifully with the skillet. Overall the food is pretty delicious. Only thing is I try to have it in moderation, I can tell I'm eating a million calories when I eat here, nothing wrong with that but this the epitome of fattening American breakfast. They have some very creative dishes and fun combinations, they also have a whole healthy section if that's what you're looking for but I do think the best stuff is the bacon/potatoes/chesse/pancakes/waffles/all the high calorie stuff lol. The service is pretty good but be warned that this place fills up and often has a wait on the weekends, if you're in a rush I would call ahead to make sure they have available tables. Lots of parking so don't worry about that read more

First Watch - Farmhouse Skillet Hash and million dollar bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love First Watch, and love the fact they are opening so many central locations. We've dined at this Heights location a handful of times since their opening. We always start with the granola crunch pancake and then either split an entree. My favorite entree is the salmon bennie, but I did recently try the breakfast sandwich (san bacon/bacon on the side for the beau). First Watch almost always has a wait, but not many people know that you can get on their waitlist by going to their website to join their digital wait. It's worth it. This location also has a patio and bar seating. For bar seating, you can seat yourself (another way to skip the line). Love their coffee. They have some cocktails (French Toast cereal cocktail, y'all). read more

First Watch - Breakfast sandwich with bacon on the side - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

While we were waiting for our food I was wondering why the table next to me left behind so much of their food and after eating our meals I could understand why. My skillet hash was okay, but the potatoes were not good. Most of the pieces were undercooked. My fiancée's pesto chicken quinoa bowl was terrible. There was way too much of some unknown liquid in there. You can see it in my picture. The quinoa seemed undercooked as well. We both left unsatisfied. At least our server was friendly and attentive? Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Gosh, what can I say? The only good experience was that the server was nice and really tried for us. The food coming out of the kitchen was not good. I ordered the classic eggs benedict, which I often order as a go-to besides pancakes. Never in my life have I seen boiled eggs in an eggs benedict. The best part of an eggs benedict is the runny yolk. The potatoes were also unevenly cooked - under and overcooked. Most of the dish was not edible. I picked at it. The ham was similar to a shaved deli ham, and the bread was not an English muffin. The hollandaise sauce was lemony. I informed the server that the eggs should be poached and not boiled. She said she'd get me a new one. The second time, the eggs were soft boiled. I ate the eggs but didn't feel like eating the rest. Potatoes were still the same. One of my friends ordered the elevated egg breakfast sandwich that was supposed to be on a brioche bun and have Gruyère cheese. It looked like a hamburger bun. Didn't seem so elevated. My other friend's farmhouse skillet also had flat eggs that weren't over easy, and the potatoes were also like mine. Upon leaving, the half of the restaurant we were seated in didn't have any tables bussed. I saw a stack of plates, and on the top was an uneaten eggs benedict also with the eggs boiled. I was disappointed for paying $20 for the meal, coffee, and tip. I've always wanted to try the brunch at First Watch. I won't go back or recommend. You're safer at IHOP! read more

UPDATED Review from 8 months ago. I placed an online order and was instructed to come to the back to pick it up. Cool, no problem. My order wasn't ready, cool, it's a holiday weekend. Someone from the back comes out and asks what I'm waiting for and he says he put it out already and someone must have taken it and I have to wait for it to be cooked again. This isn't a sound system to have in place if pepper can walk in from the back and take other people's orders. I'm good on this location and won't be coming back here. This is the 3rd negative encounter out of about 5 or 6 visits I've had with this location. I'll drive further out to another location. read more

Solid breakfast. Might have a little wait on the weekends but worth it. Pancakes are large but I didn't order. The oatmeal was tasty with a side of milk to make it as moist as you like. read more

Upon revisiting I determined the food is not as good as I had initially thought. There is plenty of options for everyone, including lighter healthier fair. In general though food is overly seasoned relying on too heavy of sauces (coated). The flavored iced coffee I had was not it, basically over priced chocolate milk. Service was amazing though. And i love the look/feel of the place. Food was not worth the 45 min wait. Plenty of places in Htown that serve a more balanced better tasting brunch/breakfast. read more

Ordered avocado toast-so far so good. However, I went back in because they forgot to add my fruit cup. I don't feel like walking back there so look here First Watch. Yall have a swarm of employees standing at the door. If the kitchen is so busy (it's not right now) - help out and give a decent fruit cup. Mine look like it came out of the trash can. read more

I really want to love this place but the servers always disappear. I do not get a refill on coffee & have to flag someone down to get a to go box. I ask for the bread toasted--it is cold and doughy--they always say it was toasted but it is not. Very lazy toasting and butter; Just disappointing that 5 extra seconds on service and toast could really change an entire experience. read more

I am a fan of First Watch, normally they have good service at all locations. But I don't know if I just have bad luck and got a terrible waitress or if it was because it was a Sunday. The wait wasn't too long, so we got our table in about 15 minutes, and that was the beginning of this bad experience, no waiter or waitress showed up in about 10 minutes of being seated, so we had to ask for help,5 min later a girl comes to our table with the most rude attitude, she didn't even say anything about making us wait for her, anyway, we are trying to have a good time, so we don't pay too much attention, and we ordered coffee and milk, which they always bring in this little metal pourer , but she brought us a huge glass of milk and we were a little surprised, so I said, no we didn't order a glass of milk, we just wanted milk for our coffee, and once again with a bad attitude she says "Im not gonna charge you for the glass of milk, we just don't have the little milk dispenser" and I was surprised she even said that because I didn't think I was gonna be charged for it, but she made it seem like we couldn't afford a glass of milk. Well moving on we ordered our food and once again she disappeared, never came to check on us, but someone brought our food and then another waiter comes to check on us, very nice young man, and we asked to be helped by someone else since our waitress was rude and never there, he said he would take over our table and after that the experience completely changed. Food was good. Ambiance was good. Nothing extraordinary. I just hope this girl finds another job, customer service is definitely not her passion. read more

Look. Is it convenient? Absolutely. 100%. Should you sacrifice your taste buds and your soul to eat here? No, just cook breakfast at home. While the servers are very friendly, the food is something likened to pulling it out of a garbage can with maggots on top. And even then... I'm pretty sure it would still taste better from the garbage can. read more

First Watch - Salmon Frittata - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Upon entry, the hostess wasn't the warmest, just a quick "how many people?" & "follow me". However, the waitress was a delight! Warm, welcoming, & polite. Saturday afternoon, so it was busy, as expected. No issue there, especially being seated right away. Food & Drinks: Lone star brisket hash: good taste, but lacking on the brisket Chicken avocado chop: decent Monterey club: a bit salty, yet good amount of turkey Apple juice: good Watermelon wake-up: good, just expected more sweetness with watermelon & pineapple as some of the ingredients Experience : I requested no bacon on the club sandwich, however I had to send my order back since the bacon was added anyway, and there was no chicken in my chicken avocado chop salad. Also, the glasses were dirty (I think)...maybe cloudy or discolored. Definitely not a good look. If it wasn't for the amazing waitress/staff and quick service, the rating would've been lower. The food matches the rating, average. I don't know if I'll be back (maybe for the Strawberry Tres Leche French Toast lol), but don't let me stop you from giving it a try! read more

Friendly staff, delicious pancakes. I had a blueberry one while my friends had another kind that he said was great too. Lots of blueberries, fresh butter and warmed maple syrup made it perfect. Good value for $7.50. Much better than Toasted Yoke. Inside the restaurant was just ok- the modern sterile look that has become popular. read more

Our server was Rogelio and he was great. No issues at all. 5/5 would go again in a heartbeat read more

We tried out this new spot on a Sunday morning, it wasn't crowded when we arrived at about 8:45 but by the time we left it was getting packed. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the bacon appetizer, its sweet, savory and melts in your mouth. We had the bacado omelet with a large chocolate chip pancake and the chicken pesto hash and enjoyed it all. The kale tonic juice was really nice, just the right amount of sweetness. We also really enjoyed the coffee which they also sell at the checkout counter. Service was great, but a little slow towards the end when the restaurant was getting crowded. read more

I had been looking forward to trying out First Watch since I saw the signs going up before they opened, and they did not disappoint. They have high chairs, boosters, and kids meals, so they are very kid-friendly. We had great service. One thing to note - you order at the table but then pay at the counter. Here's what we had: - Coffee: They leave the carafe on the table, which is nice, but they only have pre-packaged creamers and half-and-half - Cinnamon chip pancake meal: I believe this was a seasonal item, and I really enjoyed it. It came with 2 eggs plus my choice of meat, which they let me sub out for their potatoes (thanks!), which were really flavorful - Chocolate chip pancake kid meal: There were plenty of chocolate chips in the pancake. The chocolate milk looked like it was made from a powder mixed with regular milk. - AM Superfoods bowl: I didn't try this because I thought it was just yogurt when my husband offered it to me, but he said it is good. What I thought was yogurt is actually coconut milk chia seed pudding. The almond butter toast also has sea salt on it, and the granola is made in-house. read more

So I finally got an opportunity to go to First Watch especially since there's one closer to me. I sat at the bar and was trying to decide on the Chickenchanga and the Farmhouse Hash. The waitress said the Chickenchanga was most popular so I decided on that. I read the details of the dish and it said Vera Cruz sauce but when I received my food it looked like hollandaise I verified before the waitress left. I tasted it and it was decent but something was missing....Pico..yep i asked for a side and that made it pop with some flavor. I would order it again but Tex-Mex it up remove the Vera Cruz sauce and add sour cream and Pico. read more

First Watch - Chickenchanga with breakfast potatoes and fruit cup. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time here with my husband and best friend. The wait wasn't long for a Sunday Brunch time. The menu has your typical brunch food, this place tries really hard to be rustic and on trend. We had a Bacon Jalapeño Cornbread that was sweet, fluffy but no taste of Bacon or Jalapeño. I had the Avocado Toast which was bland and plain. The biscuits and gravy was also the same. Cookie cutter brunch restaurant that doesn't have anything special. My husband got a Farmers Hash Bowl that was okay for what it was. The potatoes were hard and raw, the avocado were also unripe and hard as well. Would we come here again, no. The service was nothing special too.. they didn't really check up on us. The inside of the restaurant looked nice, but the food was nothing special. read more
