Love First Watch! Food is always grea! Danielle has waited on my several times and she is fantastic!

I was in a group of 7 and the service was excellent!, server Gabby was very attentive and helpful. I live in New Orleans, Louisiana visiting Houston, Texas. I will return every time I visit this city. read more

Definitely better than the last place in this location. Food menu is better, healthier, more organic and substantive than your typical breakfast food restaurant. Decor is updated with a rustic chique vibe. Plates and cups were rustic modern and have a pretty, clean look. Was asked by waitress if everything tasted ok. Had the power bowl and it tasted good and filled me up. No complaints here other than we were seated next to kitchen door and it was a little loud. Overall, good experience. read more

After looking forward to visiting this spot for a while I stopped in with high expectations. After a long wait our server Sherry finally stopped by to greet us. No apology for the long wait and she seemed annoyed that she even had to be bothered to help us. When we finally got our food it was cold. It had clearly been sitting for a while. We let her know and asked to speak to a manager but that never happened. The food was actually good and but left us frustrated thinking how good it could have been hot and fresh. read more

I had just left the gym and needed a good meal before class, I'm so glad I chose this place!! First time here. Not only is it clean and quaint, but they source their ingredients from local growers! I am a huge fan of small businesses and supporting locals. I literally need to come here everyday of my life. The price isn't bad at all, I value myself enough to eat quality food! For those who know what's good in this world, you need to come here. I had the avocado toast, healthy turkey omelette, and one of their fresh juices! Seriously was delicious and superb and the service was so friendly. I work in the service/restaurant industry so I can tell you this is a solid choice to dine at! I don't have one complaint about this business, what a wonderful experience! Best breakfast/brunch in town hands down!! read more

Waited over 30 minutes to get her food only for the entire order be wrong somehow they advertise sausage and gravy without sausage what used to be the broken egg is now the broken first one place is absolutely terrible read more

Danielle was the best! Definitely coming back and hope she's my waitress next time!!!

Went in today for a late breakfast. I love this place. I've had the same waitress the last couple times I've been. Michelle, she is so nice, great service, always friendly and I know she doesn't make the avocado toast but everyone should try it. Best stuff ever. read more

Third visit here...service better daughter had the avocado toast with eggs and was very good...had the chorizo omelet and it was very good as well! Used Yelp to check in on the way and was seated in a couple of minutes on a busy Saturday! read more

I've worked in the service industry for many years off and on and any table of mine that waits 30 minutes for food is going to get something comped. I paid $11 for one pancake one piece of sausage and two eggs that took about 30 minutes to come out. The staff was nice but they acted like it was not a big deal. Me and the person I was eating with both kind of felt ripped off for the price and the amount of time it took. read more

Pretty disappointed in this restaurant which so strives (and charges) to be viewed as a wholistic, craft breakfast restaurant, and yet executes more on the level of a large breakfast chain (Denny's, IHOP). read more

I love this place. Everything is super fresh and natural. Best breakfast place around the area

I like First Watch, but this location (which I've been to twice) is not good. The tables are sticky, the waitstaff inattentive, and the food is not cooked properly (vis over-cooked eggs benidict). read more

First time being at first watch. Heard great review about this place through patients. We had a staff breakfast for one of our boss' birthday. Majority of us ordered the eggs Benedict and the egg was way over cooked! On all of ours. Eggs Benedict the egg is suppose to be poached and runny. It was super hard. The bacon had to be sent back twice because it was dripping in oil and also soggy. I'm not sure because it was a new location but maybe it'll improve over time. But I did enjoy their house coffee. I purchased a bag of coffee grounds. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

Another great breakfast from the First Watch chain. The first one I went to was in Arizona and this one was just as good. Consistency is hard to find within a decent non-fastfood chain especially in a different state, but these guys do it and do it well. I had a skillet that killed it! Service was extremely friendly, and the atmosphere is always chill. read more

Good food. Slow service. I really enjoyed this restaurant at first. Not so much anymore. The last time I visited the soup was cold.

Very good! Hubs and I met some friends here, which used to be the Egg and I. Turns out it's the same company but they just changed the name. The decor is different too, and I like it much better. Warmer, woodier, and great service too. Our food came out at a reasonable time, coffee was good, we had no problems whatsoever. I liked the Egg and I at this location, the Hwy 6 location, not so much. Egg and I was just getting a little tired in its flavor and decor, and First Watch is a much welcomed change. From other reviews, it looks like the service is hit and miss, but we really enjoyed our visit. read more

I revisited here after a bit so great experience to give it another try. It's just not a good value for my money. $46 for breakfast for 3 and not spectacular at all--just kinda boring dishes. Once again, my dish was cold. Good service & very nice staff, but the food is just sub-par for me for the cost. read more

I've been here twice. Both times, the service was wonderful. The wait system is great, they call, text and Yelp also lets you see your place in line rather than the old traditional hand buzzers. I am not a fan of bacon (I know right? I need a lobotomy) but Patrick did such a good job selling the Millionaire's Bacon to me that I acquiesced. And BOY, did it live up to his hype! Every server that walked past my table had to stop and fuss about my choice in order and how good and addicting it was. And addictive it is!! I came back today with Gregory and he was outstanding and friendly as well. I'm fact, everyone I've come into contact with that works here is outstanding. The dishes are just as good as the service. The 3 Farmstand Breakfast Tacos were great and I don't even like chorizo! (Hint, it comes with chorizo!) Also, the Farmhouse Skillet Hash was tasty too. And now I'm full and can't possibly take another bite! Really affordable and good quality. I am going to be a regular here! read more

Excellent food, environment, staff and atmosphere! Absolutely love it here you are truly welcomed the minute you walk in.

I could not believe how good our breakfast was. We had avoided going when they first replaced The Egg and I by us. We just assumed it was the same run down Egg and I with a new name, not at all the case. The inside is completely redone, and it is a totally different place. EVERYTHING we ordered was cooked to perfection. The place was crowded, yet service was excellent. We are looking forward to going back. read more

The chefs get a 5 star since the food was great, however the service was terrible. We dealt with 4 different waitresses and our assigned waitress was never around. She asked for our order before even asking for our drinks and was about to walk away until I told her we would like our drinks first. Another waitress approached us with our drinks and then talked about the specials and menu with us unlike our first waitress and then took our order. Another waitress brought us our food and checked on us and the fourth brought us our bill, what happened to our assigned waitress?? Overall I don't think we will be returning. read more

Great place, good food, good ambience. Diana, our waitress, was patient and helpful. A recommended place.

Had my breakfast here after 17 hours of flights. I was so hungry and started with eggs benedict and then also had the avocado toast. Both were absolutely perfect. The staff were super nice and friendly, so overall experience was excellent! read more

This restaurant replaced what used to be The Egg and I. I guess I'd describe it as a menu full of healthier options than what you'd normally find at a breakfast restaurant. I liked The Egg and I better to be honest, but First Watch is good, too. Every single item that involves bread WILL be whole grain. I don't usually like my pancakes to have grains in them. They have other options, but my favorite breakfast food is pancakes, so if I don't like those, it's a tough sell for me. The other options on the menu are good, though, so it's not a bad choice overall. read more

First Watch at Louetta and 249.. we were served by Eric.. he was very on point and prompt with the food and service. Before we had a chance to ask for a refill, he was already there. The food was delicious, as usual. read more

I'm actually dinning at the moment at the Cypress, Texas Town Lake location. I couldn't wait until I leave to post my first experience, the waiter is phenomenal (Steve). read more

I had frequented this place for years when it was the Egg and I and had some unique items on the menu that I really liked.. First Watch took it over and everything is different including the menu. Something has been lost and I really don't know what. The new menu is OK but does not have the dishes I liked at Egg and I and I think the prices are higher. Now it is just another crowded noisy chain owned breakfast place just like all the others in town. Last week I drove all the way to the Woodlands to stop at the last Egg and I in existence on their last week before becoming another First Watch... sorry to see them go. read more

The food here is great and they really improved their service since we came last! Love it!

Finally a trendy, tasty, healthier place for breakfast! Same feel as if it were in the Heights but out in the suburbs. Need to work out the problem with the raw sugar not pouring - coffee experience wasn't what I had hoped for due to that, but still, the food was great. I tried the breakfast tacos and was not disappointed. Great spicy taste even down to the tomatoes. The black beans were seasoned just enough as if I had made them myself for me. Wow! Good first experience - I'll definitely be back. read more

Absolutely phenomenal menu. They have delicious breakfast, brunch, and lunch item! Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection. Staff is attentive and they have customer service as their top priority. Love this place any day. The picture posted is the roast beef melt and their house made tomato basil. So delicious and comforting on a cold rainy day. read more

First time customer here food was actually good and serving size was just right. Taste was really fresh you can taste the difference, cage free animal, mind you. I thought the place was so about being green thought the food was going to be dry and no taste. But boy was I wrong. Also gotta try there fresh juices delicious!!Service was a bit backed up but understood it's morning rush especially at 9 , 10 in the morning. But still the young lady took care of business lol. Place, well place was really clean, nice, and cozy. Makes you want to meet and greet everyone there. Now prices there fair prices it a few dollars more then your regular IHOP or Denny's. So it could add up at the end plus the tip . So I would be going back but not that soon. Lol. I spend dinner money by 11 am. Now the energy here is real alive. Conversation going get a little loud but who cares , people are friendly. Kids friendly all that it's probably missing a nice patio cool weather with the sun out. Overall nice experience read more

The food is not bad when it's warm but the last couple of times I've been there my food comes out cold. You know it's bad when the butter won't melt on the French toast. The service has never been good but it has gotten so bad the waitress wouldn't make eye contact because she knew she forgot the item I was waiting on. Five minutes later she sent it out with someone else. We also had to ask twice for fresh coffee, the one she gave when we first sat down was cold and could have been leftover from the day before... it was bad! read more

I have been there 3 times since it was a different brand, The Egg and I. It was great and this version is too; it has creative, tasty food, obviously targeted to younger people. The service staff has treated us well, and brings us food and what we request quickly. It's premium priced, but it's not a Slam Breakfast. I have noticed some customers there have an attitude that is not southern. But the nearby neighborhoods are popular with fresh arrivals from other states. We will keep going back. read more

First watch has been a favorite of mine since they opened. I always order the avocado toast and add the seasoned potatoes. Every single time without fail, the food is perfection. The avocado is fresh and perfectly seasoned, the homemade bread is soft and slightly sweet. The seasoned potatoes are my favorite.... I love potatoes so much my friends call me Natater, so I'm an expert on the subject. A restaurant that maintains food quality above all else is a restaurant that maintains my business and patronage. The staff is always friendly and the service and food are quick. I especially like Danielle. A friendly and warm lady that always has pep in her step. She greets you with a smile (hidden by a mask currently) and gives off more personality than can fit in the place. One time ordered Togo and she could see I was worn out in my pjs, and when I went to wait in my car, I was surprised when I heard a knock on my window, she had brought it to me so I would have to go back into the restaurant in my hobo chic attire. Please go visit and ask fir Danielle if you can. She'll brighten your day and make you feel right at home. read more

Second time at first watch . The wait wasn't long. So had something floating in my sprite and the potatoes where not done and eggs not good as well . I'll stick to Another broken egg . Too many people also . read more

Loved this place! Food and service were great. My only qualm was there wasn't a lot to choose from and it seemed substitutions we're frowned upon. But I've been to this location twice and tried a different menu item each time and was completely satisfied. And the coffee tastes great ! read more

I had my first visit to First Watch last Wednesday. I had never heard of First Watch and I must say it was pretty good. I was craving waffles and First Watch helped take care of my crave, and bacon to. I will be back. read more

Sarah's service was really good, the food was delicious really recommended. I got the monterey club, the only thing i would change the bread

I love this place!! they count all the calories for all the foods so you know what your feeding your body. Also depending on what you order you can go from comfort food to super healthy meals. Plus the food is DELICIOUS!! Tbh idk what more you can ask for out of a brunch place. read more
