Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos
Elizabeth R.

When we arrived we were greeted at the door by several (too many) people who were gathered at the hostess station (they should not all hang out there.) We were taken to a table but there were empty booths nearby so we asked to change. They graciously accommodated us. Our waiter was very pleasant, and offered water for the table. During our meal he checked onus several times. We ordered the tacos, frittata, maple bacon and pancakes. All were well received. The pancake was shared by the 3 of us and was exceptional! The restaurant was clean and had a good vibe. We will definitely come back

French Toast
Linda S.

I enjoyed it! It was an overall solid brunch place for the weekend. Fortunately we didn't have too long of a wait when we went around 12 noon. They had all of the breakfast brunch options. There were a lot of options that were both savory and sweet and a lot of the classic choices like French toast, pancakes, skillets, bowls, drinks and coffee. I had the power quinoa bowl, and it was exactly what I wanted. It was something that was light and savory and healthy and tasty. My favorite thing about the quinoa bowl is that you feel full afterwards but it also has a tangy dressing and an egg yolk on top. But if you're in the more of the sweet mood, we also got the Floridian French toast. That was also a good balance of "healthy" with the fruit against the French toast. The interior had a modern finish and a lot of natural light coming from the glass windows. It has around up to 50 people worth of seating. They had the option of outdoor or indoor seating. We chose outdoor because the weather was nice. I will say it started raining while we were outside and we were pretty covered by the awning. Service was fast we had our food in a reasonable amount of time. They also filled up our coffee to make sure we never ran out.

We had such an amazing experience at First Watch, and it was all because of America! Not only is she the manager, but she truly leads by example. Her energy, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest made our visit unforgettable.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Antonio B.

This is my first time trying this establishment. I initially thought they were only Chia seeds, smoothies, and açaí bowls.. today I was surprised when I learned they serve lemon ricotta pancakes. I took the first thing smoking ordered the lemon, avocado, pancakes, bacon with eggs and a kale drink. Although it didn't knock my socks off, so make me work on my toes, but it was definitely really good and the size of the pancakes were beyond my expectation. The service was really good. The waitress was really nice and attentive and helped me make the right choices for my first time. She seemed to be well liked by some locals who visit the Restaurant quite a bit. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating. The decor is pretty help It's great to accommodate early morning, breakfast for two or early afternoon, lunch or brunch. I will be back to try their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. It looks really good.

Bacon Hash

The food was great. The customer service was nice and fast and the restaurant was nice. I sat outside on the patio for a good breeze.

Love First Watch!!! Service is always exquisite, food is amazing. I love sitting outdoors. The drinks are always freshly made. Came out here to celebrate my friend's birthday and post 5k race!!! Great time

Been coming to this location for years and its our go-to place for a yummy breakfast or brunch. Staff is always friendly and helpful with food allergies. The place itself has gone through some decor changes, and currently has a cool modern country Houston vibe. This location has indoor and outdoor seating but I wouldn't recommend it for groups with more than 8 people as this location is not the largest but does have more seats for smaller groups making it better for a date.

bacon and carne asada hash
Anna S.

My friends and I came to First Watch to celebrate Galentine's on a Sunday around lunch, so the restaurant was busy. It was my first time coming, so I was anticipating what the hype was about. Food: Originally, I wanted the Traditional Breakfast because of the bacon side, but I opted for the Carne Asada hash because it was a seasonal item & it sounded more appetizing. - Bacon side (3/5) - I'm not sure how I feel about spending more than $5 on 4 pieces of bacon. Many brunch places don't prepare bacon the way I want them to (with a little bit of crunch), and First Watch was no exception. The texture was a bit chewy, and I was hoping First Watch would be different, but alas, I wasn't a fan of how they prepared their bacon and regret getting it on the side. - Carne Asada Hash (3.5/5) - I generally enjoyed this meal but have some qualms about it. As the name suggests, there were a lot of potatoes, but they were cut into big pieces; I could have preferred to be chopped into smaller bits, especially given the starchy nature of potatoes. Halfway through eating, I thought I was fuller than I actually was. The avocado and pico de gallo included in the dish were the stars of the meal, though! Additionally, you can request to have your eggs prepared in various ways (medium over, sunny side up, scrambled, etc.). Service (4/5): Our waitress was friendly and checked up frequently. However, my one gripe is that we were expecting a 7th friend to come later, and one of my friends, who was already present, asked our waitress if they could bring another chair. She returned to the kitchen to get our orders but never brought the chair, so the 7th friend, who was late, had to grab it herself. While this is not serious, I cannot give the service a 5/5 for this reason -- but I understand that things were hectic, and they might've forgotten. Also, I don't get why my order came last even though I was the 2nd one to get my order taken; a bit weird, truthfully. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd return to First Watch. It wasn't a bad place, but there are better brunch spots in Spring/North Houston.

First Watch is definitely a place to dine in for some delicious breakfast or brunch foods! I usually come here every time whenever my Fiancé and I crave for some yummy foods! The service was amazing as our server helped us with what to get & provided us a good experience here! The place was filled. I mean filled with so much customers to get amazing food here! I definitely recommend!!

Trifecta (w/ grits instead of eggs)
Arie W.

Last Friday, I visited First Watch for breakfast with two of my closest friends, and while the company was great, the experience? Not so much. Positives - We were seated quickly, and our server was fantastic. She was friendly, patient, and went out of her way to offer suggestions, since I was struggling to choose from the menu. A+ for service! I finally settled on the Trifecta: a waffle, million dollar bacon, and a side of cheese grits (subbed because I don't eat eggs). Negative - the food. First, the timing was off. One of my friends got her food a full 7 minutes before the rest of us. Awkward much? She didn't want to eat without us, and we didn't want her food to get cold. :/ When my food arrived, there was something red on my waffle (despite my clear request for it to be plain). I asked the server, and she assured me it was raspberry--not strawberry, which I'm severely allergic to. I pushed it aside onto a napkin, but honestly, I shouldn't have had to deal with that anxiety. As for the food itself, it didn't live up to the hype. * The waffle: Thin, full of air bubbles, and completely underwhelming. Definitely not the thick, fluffy kind I expected. * The cheese grits: It was basically a bowl of melted cheese with little grits mixed in. I sent it back for plain grits, which were much better. * The bacon: The biggest letdown. It was way too sweet, like it had been dipped in maple syrup and then peppered excessively. I'm picky about bacon and was hoping for something amazing, but this wasn't it. If you've ever had bacon from Snooze, you'll know what I was expecting, and this didn't come close. The restaurant itself also had 2 issues - The restroom was absolutely disgusting, which is always a red flag for me. Then there was the chaotic payment system. You pay at the front, which sounds fine in theory, but it's right by the entrance where people are waiting for tables. Add a line of people trying to pay, and it's pure chaos. We were all crammed together, bumping into each other. It was a mess. Overall, while the service was great, the food didn't impress, and the chaotic setup made for a frustrating experience. I won't be returning. If you're looking for a solid breakfast spot, I'd recommend heading somewhere else.

Food was outstanding. Service could have been better, but the atmosphere and menu made up for it.

It's way overdue for a refresh, the furniture is quite worn, and there's a lot of taped rips on a lot of the upholstery, but we got a booth that was intact, and The Server was friendly enough. Still it is a dive. Food: They're very serious about keeping at a deli, with items That you just don't commonly see in Texas, like, Matzoh balls, Liver and onions, Cold beet borscht. But on the more common items, they claim to have the best Reuben in town. We both went for the Patty melts, which was a featured special. The food is great. Loved the fries, we also got onion rings also excellent, fresh rye bread, again authentic. If the would clean the place up a little, it would be 5 stars.

As simple as it sounds, everyone can't cook eggs to order. The chicken fried steak was fried to perfection (yep, I used the P word) and seasoned well. It wasn't tough or chewy. The hash browns were also good. You can sit outside on the patio when weather permits. Inside dining offers booths. The customer service is always a 10/10. Great vibe, always welcoming and every patron is greeted upon entry.

"Celebrating Mama Bear" 04-18-26…read more My family and I visited Cutten Kitchen together for the first time, and we absolutely loved it. My eldest sister was the one who searched for places to celebrate our mother's birthday, and she definitely picked a winner. She felt like this would have been a restaurant our mom would have truly enjoyed if she were still here on this earth, and she got it right. Let me count the reasons why Mama would have loved this restaurant: the aesthetics, the well-seasoned food, the lively vibe, the soulful energy of the atmosphere, and the wonderful customer service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess, Victoria, whose professionalism and mannerisms were spot on. She was so friendly and welcoming. She held the door open for us when we entered, and she even held it open again when we left. Our server, Daniella, matched that same level of professionalism. She was not intimidated or nervous by our group at all. She greeted us warmly, introduced herself, and took our drink and appetizer orders with ease and confidence, which let me know she knew exactly what she was doing. She also offered great drink suggestions that we really enjoyed. I do not want to bore you with a long, drawn-out review, so I'll keep this part simple. The atmosphere is welcoming, with music playing at a nice medium volume through the overhead speakers. The dining room is extremely spacious and clean. Food Ratings: Fried Catfish/Shrimp Platter - 4/5 Both were fried to perfection, with nice crunchy edges and a soft, succulent, meaty texture inside. However, it was a bit too salty for my health. Fried Fish and Grits Platter - 5/5 My younger sister said she could taste the authenticity of Black culture in the well-seasoned grits and she enjoyed them. The CK Burger - 5/5 My son said this burger was delicious, and he tore it up too! The CK Patty Melt - 5/5 My eldest sister said it was delicious and felt like it melted in her mouth with every bite. Salmon Bites Appetizer - 5/5 Fried to perfection and surprisingly not too salty. Fried Plain Wings/Lemon Pepper Wings/French Fries - 5/5 Everything was served piping hot and extra crispy. Deviled Eggs Appetizer - 5/5 Everyone around the table loved these babies. My eldest sister said she did not care too much for the fried chicken tender on top, but overall, they were still a hit. Dirty Rice - 1/5 Too salty and too greasy for my liking. It also lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. Mac and Cheese - 5/5 According to my daughter, the mac and cheese was a 5/5. However, it did have a spicy kick, so my son gave it a 4/5. If you like spicy mac and cheese, then you will probably love theirs. Collard Greens - 5/5 This item stole the show for me. The collard greens were delicious, not too salty, and seasoned just right. Here's the shocker: instead of using pork in their collards, they used turkey neck. I was genuinely impressed because a lot of people believe pork is the only way to get that deep, flavorful taste in greens, but Cutten Kitchen proved otherwise. Blueberry Lemon Drop - 5/5 This drink may seem girlie, but it hit like a man. Sitting Sideways Cocktail - 5/5 This one hits just right and gives you a nice little buzz. Pineapple Upside Down Crown - 4/5 It was a little too sweet and did not have enough liquor for me, but it was still delicious after I poured an extra shot of Crown in it. Overall, Cutten Kitchen is an upbeat, lively, and soulful establishment that offers some of the best Southern cuisine in the area. I highly recommend this place if you love authentic soul food, great customer service, and a vibrant atmosphere. FYI: Parking is plentiful, but it would probably be best to make a reservation beforehand. I have heard this place can get packed.

I beg to differ. I ordered the Corn dog, Mac n cheese, fried okra and the honey butter corn bread was complimentary. I had asked for my okra extra crispy and not only did it come mushy, but it was also pretty cold by time it reached the table. The Mac n Cheese was cold and so greasy I couldn't even finish it. As for the corn dog, it was the only thing that showed up hot and it wasn't even cooked all the way through! It was all golden looking on the outside, but mushy on the inside. The service was basically non existent and being busy wasn't the reason. We're going to end this review on a positive note because I truly dislike writing bad reviews, but they are necessary for the sake of honesty. The ONLY reason they're getting the two stars is for the cornbread which was an ooey gooey, honey buttery mouthful of happy and would be the only thing I recommend (of what I had) there. I would have sent everything back had I been able to locate our waitress. I don't recommend this place when there are so many others that are way above them in quality, quantity and cost for what you get.

I know. "Fine dining" and burgers? But that's what I wanted. I searched the web and found the Chefs Table in Vintage Park, and it wasn't too far from us here in The Woodlands, so we decided to make reservations and head there. From the moment we entered, we were treated like special guests. The ambiance is rich, but not overdone or stuffy. Simply classic and relaxing. Our booth felt private and unhindered by conversations of nearby diners or wait staff bustling past. Our cocktails were perfect. The calimari we ordered as an appetizer was probably the most tender and delicious either of us have ever had. And when our burgers arrived, I was so happy. It was exactly what I had set my mind on when selecting my birthday dinner experience. The blend of brisket and chuck was absolutely delicious, set atop a perfectly buttered toasted bun, with some crispy onion straws on top. And the fries... oh my! I rarely if ever eat fried food - so clearly this was my big day to completely go off my standard fare, but those fries had the perfect crunch and flavor. Apparently, when my husband made our resv, he told them it was my birthday, so our server brought out a delightful complimentary spiced cake dessert after we were finished eating - for us to share. It was the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Thank you to the entire staff at The Chefs Table yesterday, for helping to create a memorable and delicious birthday feast for my husband and me. We will definitely be back to try some other delights because the menu is packed full of amazing looking dishes.
