3 delicious meals
Tisha R.

This may be a duplication because I see all my photos here but not in the original post. I selected update instead of edit and it resulted in this new post. When I'm back in Houston I'll plan to visit again. Food, service and the atmosphere were in point.

Pumpkin pancake sooo  good
Angie H.

The front hostess Hannah was very pleasant and friendly as she seated us to our table. We ordered a different plate today some Italian hash and was making a suggestion to the server Angelica who was so polite and kind. She then offered to replace the meal and we explained to her that it wasn't necessary we are always happy here. However, the pumpkin pancake was so delicious Manager Calvin came to us directly and was so nice and professional and wanted to ensure us that sometimes a mistake is made but they take pride in their restaurant and appreciated our comment. Now this is the best if any management experience that my hubby and I have ever experienced together. 5 stars to this establishment.

I haven't been to this place in years did not have a good experience the first time not at this location though my wife said let's give it another try and to my surprise it was amazing a complete 180 food was really good. We like the ambience inside as well very calming.

Floridian French Toast
Courtney S.

Update: Made another visit to First Watch because I was craving the BEC, and additionally tried the Floridian French Toast. Was super good and the fruit was fresh. Service was also fantastic this morning that we went, wish I remembered the server's name to shout him out because he really was great. Restaurant was very clean and made for a nice morning

I like to write about a place while I'm here when the food is so good, the waitress and rest of the staff are so friendly, and when the establishment is so beautiful inside! I ordered the Works Omelet, grits, and a side of sausage. Everything, and I mean everything down to the toast, had its own flavor. The grits were so buttery it literally melted in my mouth. The toast came out with butter spread already on top with a side of jam. I wish I knew what kind of bread they use and what jelly that was. I ate both pieces. And the omelet was its own attraction! So, you know how sometimes you get an omelet, and the insides are minimal. Like it's barely any meat, or onions and mushrooms. So, I ordered a side of sausages just in case. Well, this was not the case here; there were plenty of sausages, ham, mushrooms, veggies, onion, etc One more thing to boot: this place smelled so good. I noticed that as I walked in the door. It was a very pleasant fragrance in the air. But most of all, this is a happy place, a friendly place; it was nice to see the staff joking and playing with each other while helping each other to make sure no one was overwhelmed because it was crowded. But the service was fast, getting everyone situated at their table and food ordered. And a special thank you to my waitress, the cute girl with her hair pulled up in a ball on top of her head. I don't know why my pictures are not coming up.

Outside area of first watch

First watch I can honestly say is my new favorite brunch spot close to home. The setup is amazing and can be very intimate! Right when you step in the door you are greeted with amazing service! The restaurant is also very clean. Sitting at the table gave me an old fashioned feel with the coffee cups sitting the table. Our server Shannon was amazing! He made sure our food was fresh and treated us with such kindness. He also let us taste try a few new drinks on the menu! Because they make fresh juice daily here. The wait time was just perfect for food! And very fresh! No more than ten to fifteen minutes. The parking lot is shared with other businesses but the parking is not to bad. Shannon also left us a quote on a card it was such a kind gesture. Definitely will be returning.

Lunch
Karl S.

The restaurant wasn't too busy but very unorganized, or understaffed don't know which. I was by myself and was sat at a table at 1240 at 1252 the waiter came to see if I wanted coffee I said no just water and I was ready to order so I did. At 102 waiter brought water ( so took 10 minutes must have gone to the well) about 15 minutes later food was delivered. Salad had way to much dressing and didn't have much lettuce only 1 small pieces of avocado the half sandwich was ok. There were a lot dirty table. The waiter would interact with other table that have only women for long periods but didn't say more than 10 words to me. Over all don't think I would go back.

Great place for brunch or breakfast! Delicious food, clean place, great service! Our waiter was amazing he was polite and attentive! He made some suggestions that I absolutely loved. Felt very welcomed over all. Vast parking space.

Came to First Watch for Sunday brunch and it was a pack house. The hostess said it would be a 30 min wait. She asked for my name and phone number so they can send me a text to my phone. We literally waited for 2 mins and our table was ready. Bella was really sweet and took our orders. Very tentative and checked if we need anything. The place is a little chaotic but I didn't expect anything less since it was a Sunday. Food was great! I had the fall special, the Modern Croque Madame. It's one my favorite and definitely would get it again.

Croque Madame on the Fall 2022 menu. Don't miss it!
Leah G.

The new Fall 2022 menu is great. The Croque Madame is cravable!! The egg dish is covered in Parmesan cream sauce and fresh tomato and Bacon!!! First Watch serves many breakfast dishes with a small lemon dressed salad which is a great compliment to their rich decadent meals. Secret: a kind server may give you a little take home of their amazing Lemon White Vinegar Balsamic Vinaigrette! (At least ask) I absolutely LOVE that I can get in line before I leave my house in the online app. The staff at the Lakewood location is always wonderful and welcoming. We always get a Morning Meditation juice to start the day. I highly recommend First Watch anytime!

Churros , Smoked Salmon frittata and turkey bacon sandwich either tomato soup.
Edward V.

One thing that most Houston and nearby places have is the lack of good service ... First Watch management must be doing a great work because the service at this location is unique ... the attention to detail and how the servers make sure you're having a good time while enjoying. Your food. Samantha our server the best I've encounter in Texas. But not only her other servers not assigned to our table received us with a smile and welcome greeting. A good communication between them and a a good work environment ... you can see the employee faces when they walk by the co-workers they share the same smile they share with the customers. We will be back for sure! ... this service is priceless!!!!

4.5 stars if I could. Food…read moreFried mushrooms Super juicy and bouncy. They are delicious on their own without ranch in my opinion. 4/5 Hickory burger So meaty and beefy. Perfect if you are or not on your period. Fries were mediocre. 5/5 Veggie omelette Very filling with their hashbrown. Their hashbrown is fluffy and crispy from the brown edges. Extremely delicious with ketchup and pepper. 4/5 Chicken fajita omelette 4/5 (as told per friend) Didnt try but I guess I could trust my friend. It was hefty and had biscuit and hashbrowns! Key lime Pie 10/5 So good and light! The whipped cream was beyond fluffy and not stiff (didn't taste stabilizers) and the custard part was perfection and not too tart or too sweet! The graham cracker crust was sooo moist and I could eat the crust alone! Service 10/10 Lady was so kind and accommodating since we were playing card games. Did not feel rushed on but and took our order perfectly! Ambiance Chill and friendly. Perfect for late night with friends or family.

Keep in mind that this restaurant is loud due to the amount of people. Def if you're going during high traffic it'll be hard to talk to each other. Our server Trey was really nice and felt like a super honest dude when he shared his favorite dishes. The chicken fried steak was delicious along with the waffles ? It's been a minute since I've been impressed with waffles. And the marinara sauce that comes with the cheese sticks oh my goodness. Probably the best marinara sauce I've had by far ! Would definitely come back to try more food. I will say I didn't care for the Mac and cheese. Mash potatoes were solid though

I was staying at a hotel nearby for an early flight the next morning. 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.

This is the kinda Mel's diner where you don't know if you love the food, the feelings or the people…read moreyou meet here. I happened upon this after a late night concert and had a great time. I have gone back for nostalgia a few times during the day and the food was still made to order, prices were still reasonably low and the wait staff reminded me of a safe place to get rid of my day and my safe diet. Kinda feels like home, missing your childhood and humble beginnings. Somebody's intoxicated, somebody's on a first date, somebody's passing through, somebody's lost, somebody's on their third meal of the day (motel parking lot adjacent) and the server loves everything about your fancy bracelet or handbag. Sometimes you just need that definitely one of my places for old Times sake. It's humbling. I've yet to try the hot biscuit, but the burger and fries is good anytime.

My husband and I have been eating at Frank's for over 35 years in one location or another. And,…read morethat alone should serve as a testament to how much we love these diner style restaurants! The food is always good, plentiful and efficiently served. The hash-browns and grits are always fresh and cooked perfectly. The homemade rolls are fluffy and delicious and the pancakes are generously sized and thick. And, on the very rare occasion that there has been a mix up on an order, things were rectified quickly and with no hassles. So you should understand that we were devastated by the news that the Frank's location closest to our house was totally destroyed by fire recently. That would be the 1915 Mangum Rd. location. It is my understanding from employees at neighboring businesses that they plan to reopen, at least temporarily, in a vacant building on a lot that is adjacent to the burned building. I have not checked that for any factual accuracy, so take it with a grain of salt, as it were. Meanwhile, we will drive the extra miles to one of the other locations.

I tried the fish this time and will say the coating was ok, however, it slipped off. I asked for fried hard. I felt the food today was bland and lacked any flavor.

Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.
