Kami was very sweet & attentive! Food was also very yummy and fresh. Would definitely recommend!

Had a great experience at First Watch. The food was excellent, everything came out fresh, and the service was even better. Alexa was awesome. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. Definitely one of those servers who makes the whole experience better. We'll absolutely be back! read more

I haven't eaten at First Watch in a couple of years. We stopped here on our way to the airport for a quick breakfast. I was happy to see Barbacoa back on the menu so I ordered the Barbacoa breakfast tocos. What a sad disappointment! Out of the 3 tacos combined there may have been 1 oz of meat. It was basically egg tocos. I should have taken pictures. I should have sent it back... posting this and never returning is my only recourse. The food and service is consistently good here but they are stealing when they advertise Barbacoa tacos and instead give you a tacos that are 90% egg read more

Brax was knowledgeable about the menu even though the place was super busy. I haven't tried the juice bar blend drinks. So much different than morning coffee. read more

Husband and I have been waiting for the crowd to die down so we could try this place. We stopped in this morning we were greeted and seated fairly quickly. A bit of confusion on our servers part but we love that they rushed to be certain we were taken care of. We ordered a couple of their specialty juices to start. The watermelon one was ok and my husband enjoyed the purple haze. We both ordered the trifecta which consists of eggs, choice of waffle or pancake and a protein. We upgraded to the million dollar bacon and we weren't disappointed. The eggs were not as hot as we would have preferred but the waffle and bacon were delish. We had to remind the server to bring the hot tea we ordered when first seated but overall breakfast was good. Bonus, the bathrooms were pristine. read more

Food is consistently not good. I think there was something bad with the sausage I had there on Sunday. I felt sick all day after eating it. Plus, skip the donut holes. Probably frozen to microwave....all stuck together and still cold on the inside. Not worth it in any way, shape or form. I won't be back....yuck and expensive. read more

Jessica was an amazing server, very attentive and friendly. This place has some of the best breakfast options especially if you're from out of town. The seating options are all pretty idealistic including indoor and some outdoor dining options. read more

Service, MIA was an excellent waiter, in a very positive mood while serving us breakfast always a tentative and coming back to ask us if we needed anything else the abundance of food that we got was more than enough, of course too much for me, but nevertheless, enough, and the food portions were excellent. She was Awesome. read more

Layla was so friendly and professional. We had a nice table to ourselves. The food was awesome as always! Thank you!

So delicious!! Great coffee and the breakfast was wonderful. The maple syrup was so good.

Alexa made our breakfast an amazing experience!! super friendly to our baby and was very attentive making sure if we needed anything.

Very friendly and clean business. I like the Christmas decor and especially the seasonal menu. Get the tangerine dream juice! Goran was a great server, prompt and friendly and brought anything we needed. We had the Floridian French toast, ham and gruyere omelet, chickichanga and Nutella cheesecake donuts. 10/10 would order again. read more

First Watch - Interior - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

We were eager to come visit. The first time we were at a First Watch was before my wife and I started dating, we've been married 38 years. The wife went for the double bacon hash and thought it was quite good. I went for the biscuit and sausage gravy, it was well flavored with more sausage than many, something I appreciated. I splurged on their million dollar bacon. I thought it was a good flavor, disappointed that it wasn't crispy. I liked the heat, the wife thought it was hotter than she preferred. I like the website letting me add my name to the wait-list as we were driving in. The reason í an only giving it 4 stars is that our server vanished for a while once our food was delivered. I was thirsty with no water and had to wait a lot longer than I expected before he came back. read more

Went in for a to go order today, the staff was friendly and had a GREAT sense of humor. The food is good but the people make it great.

Excellent service from Brax! Everyone working here was great, we were welcomed right when walked in, and seated pretty quickly for a busy morning. We ate off the new summer menu and it was amazing but the star of the show was the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast-DELICIOUS! read more

I love coming here for breakfast! I'm typically the early bird and it's nice and quiet in the restaurant. However, today was a late start to breakfast. Yes, it was packed on a Saturday morning. (No surprise there) But their food was calling me to come either way. It was crowded, and they were short staffed by 5 people, and yet I had a great experience either way. Goran was our server. He had such a warm and welcoming personality. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, he didn't make us feel rushed and he didn't look flustered. I appreciated his excellent attitude and customer service. Thank you Goran! The food was still top-notch quality and there was no long wait for our plates to come out. My favorite plate is the Morning Market Veg. I have a dairy allergy, so I omit the cheese on the omelette. I also am blessed to have a gluten allergy as well, so I order the GF toast with no butter. I love that the seasoned potatoes are fresh made without those 2 allergens. Yay me!! It's hard to find that in most breakfast establishments. Did I mention that they do not charge extra for the GF toast? (Why wouldn't you want to come here?) I don't feel like I'm being penalized for having an allergy or two. I also ventured out to try their Morning Meditation juice. We ordered it with no ice since it's super chilly today. I was not let down by the flavor. I prefer mine with a stronger ginger spice to it, but that's my personal preference. read more

This location had much faster and friendlier service than the other one we frequented in Conroe. The Pineapple Express seasonal juice was excellent. I wish the cheddar bacon cornbread was served warm, rather than room temp, but the rest of the meal was on point. read more

Online booking at their website. It CAN save you time because this place is popular. BUT BUT BUT I used it to book the last time that we came here, and it worked well, but I went to their website and couldn't find it today. Huummm Ok, I was told a 30 min wait upon arrival. I asked the hostess if she could show me where the link was on the website to join the waitlist. She went to the website, and was unsuccessful. There were three young hostesses. All 3 tried to find how to get on the waiting list. All 3 failed. And, they were speedy with their typing, and tech competent. Finally, after 5 minutes, one hostess googled "First Watch" and "waitlist". That worked. I was so frustrated. Then, we were finally seated, a wonderful server, Alexis, took our order. She was very competent & we forgot our earlier frustrations. The food was exceptional. I had the Fall Special eggs with Brussel sprouts, bacon bits, potatoes, & cheese. DELIGHTFUL! read more

We went on a Sunday, and it was super busy! Our server, Jessica, made sure to check in with us regarding wait times, and was very prompt with all of our needs. Would definitely come again! read more

Great experience! Rebecca was an amazing server--friendly, attentive, and made our visit!

First time checking this place out and it didnt disappoint! The menu had plenty of great options to choose from, our server Braxton was friendly and took care of us, and the inside layout/decor was cute and cozy. We tried the eggs Benedict, hash skillet (not pictures) and kids egg & sausage. The bread tasted fluffy and fresh and everything came out hot and full of flavor. I was hesitant to try the iced coffee as it wasnt espresso based, but it packed a bold coffee taste! Next time id try it with less caramel. read more

Let me start by saying "WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD!" I've watched this location get built from the ground up and it was so exciting to be part of the "Friends and Family" pre-opening. For two days, locals who RSVP'd had the opportunity to participate in a pre-opening event designed to help the staff practice and work out any kinks before the official opening. In exchange for being practice customers, we enjoyed a free complimentary meal on the house for up to 4 people. Each of us was allowed one entrée, one side, specialty bacon for the table, and two drink selections. And let me tell you what: The food was delicious. I can't believe we got such good quality food practically for free, and I am here to tell you that once this place opens officially, you're gonna love it. Chocolate Chip Pancake w Turkey Sausage Million Dollar Bacon Cheesy Grits Elevated Egg Sandwich Fresh Fruit Cup Was the choice for me and my little baby niece. The chocolate chip pancake was huge and super packed full of chocolate chips. The dough itself was a little on the drier side as I'm used to pancakes being super moist, but I'm sure they'll work this out as time goes on. The tasty turkey sausage patty accompanying the pancake was pretty sizable...juicy delicious and not very salty or spicy, which I personally liked. A gentle, juicy sausage patty without overkill. You can choose among several types of sausage, and this is the one we chose. Million Dollar Bacon is MONEY. This is going to be a hit with many people. Crispy strips of bacon broiled in maple syrup with a generous hit of cracked pepper. It checked off all boxes for me. The elevated egg sandwich was my second favorite after Million Dollar Bacon. Soft brioche, crispy bacon, avocado, over easy egg, some sort of creamy spread and a salad mix. It is everything I love in a breakfast sandwich. The over easy egg was a little too done, probably because I let it sit in its own heat for a while before trying it, but this sandwich was good and will be a nice choice for breakfast sandwich lovers. Equal parts soft, crunchy, eggy and fresh. All textures coming at you. The cheesy grits were a bit different. I am used to finely ground grits and these were coarsely ground, almost resembling a chunky sweet corn masa/sweet corn tamale in texture. The grits were chunky, sweet and cheesy instead of finely ground and salty. They were good but not what I expected. Try them and see if you like them. Fresh fruit. Refreshing sweet tea. And the kindest staff ever! I hope that it wasn't just for the opening. I hope the staff will always remain kind. Cause the service was off the charts for the opening. Such a beautiful and BIG/roomy location. Industrial like in design with touches of a country home, I loved the interior. Welcome to the neighborhood and I hope you last for a long, long time. read more

Eddie was great! Get this place a proper liquor license and they'd be in 6* territory

I LOVE THIS PLACE! And all First Watch locations I have visited thus far (4). Always clean, upbeat and inviting. All of their food is fresh and delicious. Service is fast and efficient and I love that they offer turkey sausage, gravy, and turkey sausage with their meals for those that don't eat pork. Eggs are always cooked to perfection. They are a well oiled machine. read more

This is one of my favorite brunch spots and we will be returning again! read more

We were so excited to try First Watch for the first time! Service was quick-- maybe too quick. Our server, Brookelynn, stopped by our table one time to take our order, someone else brought our food, then she came and placed the check on our table. She did not check on us at all after this and I had to ask another server to get my drink refilled. As far as food goes, I'd give it a 5 or 6/10. My friend got the smoked salmon Benedict but the salmon was way too fishy. The iced coffee is premade (if you are dairy free, good luck; no substitutions). Prices were fair(ish), if you really want a bang for your buck and top-tier service, Kerby Lane would be a much better option. Not trying to be picky, however, I am also a server and would feel guilty for not checking on my tables. Overall, I would never come back and spend my money at First Watch. read more

We loved First Watch when we lived in San Antonio, and after moving to New Braunfels we found a branch in San Marcos, so we decided to give it a try. It's by far the best we've been to! Food always hits the spot, the seasonal specials are all must-try and the service is awesome. Shout out to Mikayla in particular, she took great care of us and our Siberian Husky even though we were seating at the far end of the patio. What's not to love? read more

Inadequate parking (even before construction next door). Wait time exceeded the online 1hr estimate..by 35min. Soda machine broken, Coffee machine broken, never got refill of water and food came out cold. It doesn't matter how busy you are, if customers wait then they should receive good service and food when they finally are seated. The Pumpkin Spice Donuts were good. read more
