    Came here for Labor Day brunch with fam. Place was poppin and bustling. Great for groups. Food was absolutely delicious. Their million dollar bacon is sweet and savory, seasoned with maple syrup, pepper, and other spices. It's often my go to whenever I go to a first watch branch. Costs only $6.49 so they're actually operating at a $999,993.51 loss when they sell it to you. The chicken chipotle was on their seasonal menu. Gives you that sweet and savory flavor with a subtle kick of spice. Did feel it was a little too much hash though and could have been a little bit more crispy. Our server was great. She was attentive and quick to address our needs. The only reason I took off a star is because we joined the wait list on their site and it estimated 30-40 min but we ended up waiting over an hour for our table. Otherwise would have given them a 5.

    Food is good, seating is tight, wait staff is on top of it, what is severely off is parking! It's horrible! If I'm wasting more money in gas trying to find a parking spot so I'm not parking by Target, & walking across crazy intersections to come to an establishment...I may go eat elsewhere. But I was with family. So, I sucked it up. Yes, I parked in the Target parking area & walked back over because the entire parking area was packed. Was the food THAT good? Um. No. It was ok. Will I return? No. That annoyed me. The other thing was the seating was so close the chairs were bumping one another. The people seated bumped, the children, the adults, us, them - everyone. It wasn't intentional & no one got ugly. It was just extremely cramped. For no reason. There was room for the tables to be spread out. It was badly planned. I felt horrible for the staff on top of it all. That's all the gripe'able stuff. I got French toast & bacon with orange juice & coffee. My cousin's got chocolate chip pancakes with bacon, & the Trifecta, chocolate milk, coffee & water. All with a tip came out to $65. (Tip was $10.45) So I guess you can judge based on the price. Worth it? ‍ Again, I'm sure I won't be back. It was okay. Just in my opinion, kinda stupid expensive for what we got. Seems to be very popular with people my cousins age. 30 somethings.

    Shrimp & Grits
    Vanessa A.

    Omg I loooved the Cajun shrimp & grits. It was so perfect. The service was super accommodating since we asked for a different table and they let us move. Our waiter was on it! The place was clean and it wasn't packed on a Sunday morning like I thought it would be. There's not a lot of parking because it shares with a hotel and the pho house but there's plenty of parking across the street.

    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy with a small mixed fruit
    Stephanie B.

    First time to this place and the portions are large and tasteful. The gravy on the biscuit has a smoked taste plus the biscuit was very large. Also the fruit was all good none of it was bitter or sour. I got the small but large bowl of fruit is the size of the soup bowl. The sandwich is very filling stuffed with turkey, bacon, and greens. The soup was hearty. Looking around the plates are large and will fill you up. I also got a Lavender drink with Amsterdam vodka that itself was good. They brought it in a separate glass container with a small glass of ice. I filled my small glass three times so worth it. The atmosphere was nice and calming for the morning/ brunch. I would return on another day.

    Choose 2 Lunch special $11.99
    Lisa K.

    Morning of 4th of July we were a little worried we would have a wait.. thankfully we didn't! They got our party of 4 in right away. Everyone we came in touch with were very friendly. They do have a great menu. Lots of choices from a new Lemon Blueberry corn bread to Shrimp and Grits. Great lunch deal Choose 2 for $11.99 .. they have 5-6 1/2 sandwiches, 3-4 salads and 2 soups to choose from. I got the Roast beef with horseradish half sandwich- it was wonderful, stuffed to the brim, great touch melting cheese on outside of the bread. Also did the Honey Pecan chicken half salad with a light vinegar dressing. We all enjoyed our food. The issue was the dirty dishes. We were brought plates for the cornbread and mine still had food on it. Not just a little. My daughter's water cup had lip marks that were CLEAR.. someone with lipstick on had clearly used that glass. It made eating a little hard because every time something was brought out I would look at the plate or check the new cup to see if it was clean. The guy apologized but it didn't make that any better. Atmosphere was nice. Service good. Food was good but none of us ate much after seeing the dirty dishes and just worried. I don't see myself going back there. One dirty dish - mmm ... but a glass with clear lipstick marks... no.

    Been here several times now, by myself , with family and co-workers. It's a great place with lots of great food options. I have never been disappointed! Try their million dollar bacon! The waffle compote is delicious. And their options are always fresh! Coffee is pretty good too! Don't forget their special drink selection, you won't be disappointed, they are refreshing! Service is always quick, even if it takes a bit to be seated. You might wait about 30-60mins for a table. But they work pretty quickly. The environment is very friendly and clean!

    Kids Bacon & Egg
    Gabriela G.

    Lacks attention to detail. Requested sourdough bread yet they gave me wheat. I also ordered the kids egg & bacon plate and paid extra to add an egg but it appeared as only one egg.

    Market Hash
    Kathy L.

    Line is out the door but we were seated quickly. Their "lobby" is soo small and has two doors soo not many places to wait! Otherwise the waitress is nice and was fast and attentive. Food: I got a farm house hash and there was more hash (potatoes) than anything else. I think I seen 4 pieces of zucchini or mushroom but a lot of onion and potatoes. I was expecting a little more than just a taste of mushrooms or zucchini. Otherwise farmhouse vibes and cute decor. Very fast paced and quick to get you in and out

    The Traditional

    All the food was amazing not single mistake or complaint I would definitely recommend.

    Charming farmhouse vibes in the building. Nice selection of different juices. a better breakfast experience than your typical cafe. I mean they butter the toast for you what else could you ask for

    Blazing Dragon Power Drink!
    Brian B.

    Wait time was about 20 min but what do you expect on a Saturday? Started with Blazing Dragon Power Drink : strawberry, lemon, cane sugar, and Dragon Fruit! Awesome! Salted Caramel Donut holes as an appetizer! YES PLEASE! Warm, sweet puffs of delight Farmhouse Skillet and an order of Breakfast tacos for me! Can't go wrong here. Everything is fresh and cooked to order.

    Trifecta but with two pancakes instead of one.
    Aaron R.

    Great food. Very filling. I had the trifecta with the blueberry pancake and chocolate pancake, over hard eggs and bacon. And let me tell you, the pancakes had crisp on the top. It was cooked very well. It wasn't soggy like other places I've been too. Definitely surpasses Cracker Barrel pancakes by far. The bacon was cooked crispy with a slight glaze of some sort. Haha off to the cook on that one. Now the eggs; I had them over hard and the eggs were very fluffy. Very different than the eggs I typically eat. Perhaps this is what real eggs taste like compared to store bought. The eggs had a high profile of like 10mm or so. The knife cuts well into the eggs making a distinct separation of how well these eggs were cooked. The atmosphere is chill. They had some indie pop music playing which is really nice. Our waitress was very kind when it came to ordering. She made some recommendations to hone down on what I really wanted. The pancakes are very filling that even I couldn't finish them and I typically have a large appetite. I highly recommend this place. This is place that I will continue to frequent because of how good the food was.

    Had a short stay in San Antonio and a group of us (5) decided on First Watch for breakfast, which I love in Houston. I must say this First watch from an ambiance and decor perspective is much nicer than anyone I've been to back home. The service was great and every employee had a smile to offer. Our waitress although she never offered her name was an absolute pleasure, she was extremely efficient with our request. I ordered the Smoked Salmon omelette which I was weary of because....uhm who puts fish in eggs? She assured me it was great. I bet to differ, The omelette was incredible, the egg was cooked fluffy but not runny and pair beautifully with the flavor and tenderness of the salmon. Every bite warrant a moan of appreciation for how amazing this dish was. This will be my go to breakfast order at first watch from now on.

    Farmers skillet - yum!

    Excellent Panaderia! I will come back again when we visit San Antonio…read more Ordering: there is a line you enter that takes you through all the pastries. You order those with a person, then that person takes you to a register. At the register, you can order any of the plated food. They give you a number and the. You go to a table. The servers are very friendly, and the food came out promptly. I love that there are a lot of round tables instead of just square ones, but the chairs do have arms, so they hugged my hips. Parking: They have a parking lot. We were with my hubby, dad, and stepmom, and they had never been to a Mexican bakery, so I had to do a lot of explaining. We got three items from the bakery: a bread one with cream and blueberries, a flaky cup-shaped one with cream, and a triangle flaky one with guava. They were phenomenal! Our fam got one of the flaky cup-cshaoed ones and another cupcake-shaped one that was bread. They loved them both and said they would be back later for more, or tomorrow morning. For our meal, we shared the chicken ranchero Benedict, and it was so tasty on delicious sourdough bread! We used the bread to soak up all the runny yoke and sauce from the meal. There was not a trace of anything left on the plate. Our fam got scrambled eggs and bacon and said it was yummy. They all drank water, but I enjoyed a hot tea latte. It was a little sweeter than I prefer, but it was good.

    Incredible vibe at this café with a ton of people already here as early as it opens. I ordered a…read morepick up order, but when I arrived, I told them that I was here and they immediately started making it. My order was ready in about five minutes, which was also astonishing. The staff is incredible and their communication is quite beautiful as it is super in-sync. The mere amount of pastries is impressive. This place may look like a tourist trap, but it operates as a local café with incredible vibes. It errs on the expensive side, but to be fair I think everything is worth it. El buenos dias was very good, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I did not like the beans but that was not the focus. There was so much avocado and a perfect amount of tomatoes. The egg whites were cooked perfectly and they were super fluffy. The bacon and the turkey were outstanding in quality and taste. The pan dulce was to live for. Try the Dubai chocolate and mini chocolate ones. It's worth the hype. Just go ahead and check it out.

    Got recommended this place after hubby went with his co workers…read more For Memorial Day close would be 3 pm CST. When you walk in you have the option to do a to go order on the kiosk or stand in line to order in/to go. While in line you are in line where they hold their bakery items, smart business move as it definitely enticed me to order some baked goods! We got 2 kouign amann, one cheesecake and one strawberry. Both were so good and not overly sweet. I'll definitely get it again and try other options they have. The food is really good and tasty! I got the torta Chicken milanesa with fideo soup and hubby got the half/half salad chicken milanesa. Service was great despite it being so busy. We didn't have to wait too long for our food to get to our table which is awesome considering. The overall feel of the place is social and well spaced. Definitely will be coming back!

    The food was absolutely fantastic, but you could tell they were absolutely swamped with the crowd…read moreand weren't handling it the best. I don't think it's the staff's fault, more a shortcoming of the kitchen setup, but it still caused a pretty significant wait. We tried to go on a Saturday morning, not realizing how popular it was, and it was a total no-go. So we ordered ahead for Sunday morning, planning to just pick up and bring food back to the house. The food was ready when we arrived, but the coffee wasn't (I don't think they have a fridge or warmer to keep drinks at the right temperature, so they don't make them until you come in to pick up.) We had to remind them that we'd ordered drinks and we ended up waiting another 20-30 minutes, our food in hand, while we waited on 3 iced coffee orders. I think the issue was a mix of crowds and kitchen layout. They were very clearly trying to make sure that the people who were seated in the restaurant were being served as well, but all of the drink orders were going through this one, tiny coffee station that frankly couldn't keep up. And I think our drink orders were basically added at the end of the drink queue when we arrived to pick up our order. We didn't get any sort of priority because we'd technically ordered ahead. We essentially skipped the line, but not the queue on drinks. All in all, I'd definitely want to visit again. The food and drinks WERE really great. I had the avocado toast with chicken and for a seemingly simple dish it was absolutely phenomenal. The abuelita's was the best of the 3 iced coffee offerings we tried, and I would definitely order again. But we'll definitely have to plan/strategize around crowds and be prepared for a long wait even if we order ahead.
