I'm a regular at this location! Love the patio spot and pay by phone! Always get great service here! They are always attentive! My favorite A.M Super Bowl! Patio seating is the best!
This location is awesome. We try to come as often as we can. Kimberly was our server and she was so awesome! I am always happy with my salad. Mom is always happy with her endless coffee. This is one of our regular spots!
I usually love going to first watch as a good to go place for brunch, but this location was a little disappointing. This is my first time going to this location. I got the eggs Benedict like usual, but I was surprised to see the eggs fried instead of poached. Other locations have them poached like what's on the menu (see image). The waiter said that I had to say I wanted eggs poached or the default is fried. So, if you are ordering eggs, I would make sure to specify how you want the eggs even if the menu says poached. Other than that - the vibe is cute like any other first watch locations.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! First time visiting First Watch since before the pandemic and I must say they were amazing! I ordered the Frittata Rustica with the seasoned potatoes and my friend ordered the BLTE (of course we had our add-ons). Nothing but compliments to the kitchen and staff. Speaking of, our waitress Carolina was awesome! And finally, for a Thursday morning it wasn't very busy for anyone wondering, we were in and out for the most part.Will definitely be returning soon! read more

Wanted to LOVE a place so close to home where we can get a healthy option. Unfortunately my first experience was that of lack luster. Arrived exactly at 7:00 am as soon as they opened. Walked in to the restaurant, no greeting, sat for at least 10-15 minutes with out being spoke to, as employees walked past me through the front door. Then ordered food finally, another party of two walked in after me by plenty. I ordered one omelet, side of grits and one pancake. The party of two that came in after me received their food prior to my order to go. Then I received my food about 10 to 15 minutes after them. So all in all I was there for over 40 minutes for three items. Food was a 6 out of 10. But the service makes me not want to return. read more

For the last year, my wife and I went to First Watch almost every Saturday morning. We have witnessed how service and food quality have been decreasing slowly. I noted that the place does not have the same demand it used to have; we use to wait for 10 to 15 min to get a table. Not anymore. Last Saturday, the fruit was rotten. I ordered a Salmon Frittata and got a vegetable one. After another 10minutes the waitress brought me my order except it was messed up again. The lettuce was old. The waitress apologized but, no manager or discount. We are looking for another place for our Saturday mornings conversations. First Watch, please watch because all around your area are businesses closing for the same reasons. read more

Was patiently waiting to try this place and would definitely recommend it! Really cool atmosphere and the plates all the food comes on are so pretty. I wasn't lying about patiently waiting because after we ordered, pretty much everyone around us ordered after us and got their food before us. Taking off a star because it took over 30 minutes for the food to come out and we had to constantly flag down our waiter or other waiters for more water and condiments. Got the Parma skillet hash and it filled me up quite nicely. Good portion sizes! Will come back to try more dishes. read more

I love a good brunch spot. Well. I love a reason to have brunch. And was happy to dine here today. I pass it all too often and wondered would it be worth a try and it was! I say start with their seasonal juices because they are actual juice. I had the meditation and the husband had the chai. My eldest had a iced coffee. Before his life is so like that! Ha! We got off to a rocky start with our waitress getting our drink order wrong, mine and my youngest. But it was quickly remedied. No harm no foul. If you're vegan or vegetarian there are options you just have to do the work around like we normally do. No eggs, or cheese... there is a mushroom hash plate that I got which was very good. I'd order it again and it's pictured here. And I gave my husband the eggs that came with the order. Everyone really enjoyed their plates I think the table fav was the donut holes. Definitely not vegan. We will certainly be back. read more

This is probably one of my favorite spots around the Champions Forrest area. Their food is always fresh, the juices are natural, and the service is excellent. Roberto was an awesome server throughout our meal. He was super helpful by recommending his favorite dishes and juices. read more

Took my mom out for brunch and she was extremely satisfied. She had the Traditional breakfast with smoked ham; I had the Bacado omelette (avocado and bacon) with their famous home style potatoes. If you have never tried First Watch I recommend always ordering their potatoes, they are simply amazing. I really like the toast here too. A really enjoy their coffee from here too. Only thing I wish was different was ice water instead of regular tap. -RG read more

I loved, loved this place! Great atmosphere, delicious food and great service! I had the elevated egg sandwich we shared the million dollar bacon. My friends had the French toast and the omlet (can't think of the name at the moment). I will be back to try more items. No pics this time, but defiantly on my next visit. Okay...I'm back and didn't try anything new. We had 2 orders of the million dollar bacon though. read more

I've been here several times, so I'm long overdue for doing a review. Today my husband and I came in to start celebrating our anniversary; so first stop BREAKFAST- the most important meal of the day. :D First Watch does - not-disappoint. Always fresh and seasonal menu items. Today I had their spring blueberry and quinoa pancakes with turkey sausage, and they were ohhh so good. So much so, that I didn't even need any syrup. The berry compote served with the pancakes added a nice refreshing twist, and the berry butter...swoon. Totally surprised at how good they were considering it has quinoa in it, but it made the pancakes not be dry. My husband had the farmhouse scramble, which was also delicious. The fresh juices here are truly tasty as well. One day (my first visit) I came in with a headache & had the morning meditation and my headache went away. Overall, great place, great food, and great service. Marion was out waitress today, and she made us feel like we were invited into her kitchen for a great breakfast. read more

Food great service great everything amazing and I don't hand out 5s. Food was amazing and we were undecided on juice mixes and our waitress allowed us to sample them. The juices were beyond expectation and I will be getting the kale tonic on my next visit. I am a difficult person when it comes to choosing what to order and the waitress offered if I didn't like my meal it could be replaced. The food was great so there was no need but nice to have that offered. Much larger interior than I initially expected. Nice ambiance. Overall great restaurant. read more
