    Lemon ricotta Pancakes & seasoned potatoes
    Cindy R.

    First Watch redeemed themselves...Really though I believe it's all dependent on the location. The 290 location was slightly disappointing but Tomball definitely has a genuinely friendlier, calmer vibe. Lots of smiles. No rushing, even though we came pretty close to closing time food was hot and delicious. The greeter even mentioned it was a super busy day but we were able to get seated right away and our server was also on top of everything with a big smile.

    I ordered the Bacado (bacon avocado omelette)
    Kat L.

    Had a delicious brunch at this location with my daughter. She surprised me and said I will love this place and that everything they serve here is "yummy" and it surely was. The staff were friendly and making sure we had everything. The food didn't take long to arrive and even though it was a busy hour everything was great! Ambiance was good and it wasn't too loud that we can't hear each other. Overall experience was great and I recommend this place

    Chorizo omelet
    Stephanie B.

    We came in for breakfast for one in our party before he headed to the airport. The large restaurant has lots of indoor seating, and we were seated immediately. It is basically a large modern diner. The staff is very friendly. The food is pretty disappointing. The GF toast arrived crisp but cold. The chorizo omelet was tasty but the accompanying greens had not a drop of dressing (despite the lemon vinaigrette promised in the menu). Quality means serving dressed greens as promised and warm toast. Needless to say, we did not return for the duration of our visit despite its proximity. A clean restaurant with friendly servers does not come over such basic food defects.

    Roast beef and havarti on Asiago sourdough with a tangy horseradish sauce and side of tomato basil soup.

    Hit up first watch Tomball this morning for a tasty breakfast after dropping the dog off at the vet for surgery. We needed some comfort food and first watch did not disappoint. I tried to keep it on the semi healthy side with avocado toast and poached eggs with a bow of tomato basil soup. The avocado toast came out on thick multigrain bread with a generous amount of chunky, fresh avocado; I gave it a sprinkle of S&P and some cholula hot sauce (if you aren't putting hot sauce on your avocado toast you are missing out) and ultimately had to break those perfectly poached runny eggs over top. So good! The tomato basil soup was also tasty although not mind blowing and gave me some wicked heartburn later lol (my fault, not theirs!). My son had the pick 2 combo and he chose the roast beef and havarti sandwich with tomato basil soup. I want to say the sandwich was on toasted Asiago sourdough with a generous amount of roast beef, havarti cheese and a super tasty horseradish sauce (could have been an aioli but I didn't read the menu); I could have easily eaten a whole one of those. Service was friendly and prompt. I would definitely go back after todays experience.

    Chocolate chip pancake
    Cassandra S.

    I am a huge fan of First Watch. I can always expect a tasty meal here with soft family surroundings. The pancakes are huge and tasty. The toast and potatoes are pretty good too. The lack of a star is due to the somewhat slow service at times. Also, I always ask for my bacon to be soft and chewy rather than crispy, and they rarely deliver on the multiple occasions I have been here.

    This is my son.  He really loves pancakes.

When a place has a rating of 4.9 stars with 70 reviews, it's somewhere I want to be. We visited the Saturday before Christmas and were told upon walking in that it was a unique day with table service and a special Christmas brunch menu. I was a bit bummed about that because I wanted access to the full menu after attempting to come here for weeks, but there were still some really interesting things available, so my bummedness quickly subsided. Unfortunately, the real downside of visiting on a day like this was that the wait time was really rough. We weren't sure exactly how long it was but we know that it was within a few minutes of an hour, give or take, from the time we ordered our food until it arrived. I don't want to be too critical of a super successful small business over something like that. I fully appreciate that they wanted to do something unique and probably bit off more than they could chew in the process. Fortunately, we were able to re-schedule an appointment we had for later in the day, so no harm no foul. Once we did receive the food, it was obvious why the ratings are so high. The quality of everything was amazing. I loved stealing most of the bacon off my son's plate, and of course, also enjoyed a large portion of his snowman pancake while he was busy playing on his ipad. But for my own meal, I ordered the Beef Tenderloin Gremolata and loved every bite of it. For what tasted like really high end beef, it was only $24 too, which seems impossible in 2025. I'm happy we finally got to check this place out and we'd love to come back again on non holiday weekend!

    I had not been to Goodson's in years--well over a decade at least. So when both my wife and…read moremother-in-law suggested we stop in for lunch, I didn't hesitate. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes. They were good, but not quite enough to dethrone our longtime appetizer champion: Pecos' fried pickle chips. The prices were reasonable, so I decided to go full-bore and order the "Cowboy" Chicken Fried Steak, which was only a few dollars more than the "Cowgirl" version. Mom chose the Chicken Fried Chicken, while my wife went with the Pot Roast. When our food arrived, I was genuinely taken aback. My chicken fried steak was larger than the plate it was served on--seriously, it was that big. The side dishes were equally generous. After bringing the leftovers home, I managed to get two more meals and a sandwich out of that steak. Likewise, both of my ladies left with take-home boxes, and that NEVER happens with Mom. She typically treats these lunch outings as her main meal of the day, but even she waved the white flag. So why not a five-star review? The answer comes down to flavor. While the portions were enormous, the service was excellent, and the prices were more than fair, the seasoning seemed a little timid. Across the board, the food could have used a bit more punch and personality. Nothing was bad--it just never quite crossed into memorable territory. That said, I would absolutely recommend Goodson's, especially if you have family or friends visiting from out of state. It showcases two classic Texas traits: HUGE portions and good value. As for the mild seasoning? If your guests are from up North, they'll probably feel right at home.

We had actually started going to the original building before it burned down. I do think there is quite a change in the food from the original to the newer. But still very very good. This trip three was on the way to camping at the Texas Renaissance Festival. We wanted to get a quick meal in before we went off the grid. We ended up splitting a large chicken fried steak. As you can see from the pictures, large doesn't even do it justice. It covers a whole giant oval plate, and the sides are served in bowls on top of the steak as if it were a platter itself. This thing is massive, and can feed a family of four, or two. Really hungry adults. Their biscuits are also fantastic. Highly recommend some of those to go. The mac and cheese is pretty standard. The other side that we had this time was their daily special sweet potato crumble. It was very tasty! This place was pretty packed on a Friday afternoon, so I imagine peak times are equally or more so. There's a small lot in the front and more parking in the rear. The service was pretty quick, so I appreciated that. The staff was very knowledgeable on the food, and provide great suggestions. We didn't get any dessert this time, but it did look pretty good. Something to think about if you're coming through Tomball.
