Had to give another try but different location. Glad I did. Our waitress was great and her recommendations didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed our breakfast this time. That half ham sandwich and soup was a great option. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is cute, tries to give that home country kitchen vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

My husband wanted to try some place new, so I brought him here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere and decor are perfect for a brunch place, giving a modern farmhouse vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was on point, they were knowledgeable about the different options and what modifications can/can't be made. I got the breakfast sandwich (sunny side egg, cheese, avocado, lemon arugula, and bacon on brioche bun) and it was to die for. We've since been back and everything was just as good. read more

Breakfast and seasonal menu items were outstanding!! Server was kind and friendly too. I liked being able to scan my ticket and pay by my phone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First Watch redeemed themselves...Really though I believe it's all dependent on the location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The 290 location was slightly disappointing but Tomball definitely has a genuinely friendlier, calmer vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

First Watch - Lemon ricotta Pancakes & seasoned potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was good and it wasn't too loud that we can't hear each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall experience was great and I recommend this place read more

We come here for breakfast 2 or 3 times a month. The food is pretty good. The waitstaff is always attentive. Giovanna was our waitress today and she's great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our only complaint is the music! Too loud and lively for breakfast[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was more appropriate for lunch time, a bar or outdoor eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Research suggests that for breakfast the background music should be acoustic, soft pop, or folk and soft enough to be conducive to conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We hope there will be a more appropriate choice of music and sound level next time![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The speed of service and food from the kitchen!!! OMG!!!!!!! Place was half full but took forever. Come on guys I know you can do better. read more

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. read more

Amazing service and food! I liked it so much that we came back the next day. The atmosphere was lively. I had the farmhouse hash with pomegranate sunrise the first day while she had a The Works omelet with the spiked lavender lemonade. The potatoes with both meals were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. On day 2, I had the hawaiian French toast with spiked lemonade, and she had the bacado omelets and sangria. The sangria was not as good as the other drinks, but it was still enjoyed. Should we be in the area again, we will most likely drop in again. I highly recommend First Watch!!! read more

First time trying this place. It was busy so I had high hopes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables were very sticky.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was all cold. We had eggs Benedict (by far the worst I had ever had). Very dry and old looking salmon. Wife had the grits and turkey sausage. Grits are like instant and watered down and sausage tasted like it was two weeks too old. Daughter had pancakes that were old and so cold they couldn't melt soft butter. Overall worst breakfast experience of my life. Waiter was very attentive and a great person, but the food could poison you. None of us finished our $65 breakfast. Lastly, you need to pay at the front where there are 15 people trying to get a seat and it is very challenging and uncomfortable. read more

I'm gonna share this on Google also - breakfast was wonderful! Gia took great care of us and the food - it was a punch in the mouth! The Elote Breakfast Burrito was very flavorful, and filling. I could probably eat that every morning! Wife had the avocado toast and she devoured it. Looking forward to coming back again! Only regret was not taking a pic for y'all to see it. Next time! read more

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. read more

This particular first watch location in Tomball is notorious for bad service. Not minding the long wait but getting wrong orders and then God forbid you ask formal your order to be fixed the server will give you so much attitude with no apology. You'd have to decide if you want to wait another hour to get your food or just leave. Shawn has no business working in a place that required great customer service skill because he clearly has attitude problem even when he has no reason to be worked up. read more

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. read more

Food was excellent as usual. Our server was excellent as usual. The Problem: The wait for our food. Nearly an hour. The restaurant wasn't that busy. It was 11:00 am on a Thursday morning. Nearly everyone was waiting for their food. When I paid out I asked one of the employee what was wrong? He said he'd wasn't sure but there was many red tickets which means taking too long. read more

So today I went to First Watch with my family, and at first, everything was going great. The food looked amazing, and when I tasted it it was actually very good. But then I took a sip of the milk they gave me and it was disgusting. Like, totally spoiled. It tasted sour and nasty. I told the server, but they didn't seem to care much. They just took it away and didn't even say sorry or offer a new drink or anything. It was super gross and honestly kind of ruined the whole meal. Even though the food was good, drinking spoiled milk is a big deal. It made me feel sick and was by far the worst food poisoning I got from a restaurant , and now I don't trust that they check their stuff before serving it. I can't give more than one star because that was just not okay. I don't think I'll ever want to go back. read more

Me and my girlfriend came early this morning. We got sat down, and were waiting for 10 minutes with no service. Nobody came to greet us at all so we left. When I got to my truck about 45 seconds after leaving the table, I looked back at our table and noticed that it was already being cleaned! We went to CC's cafe down the street and got our food within 15 minutes of sitting down!! CC's was also cheaper. read more

Great place with great food. Pricing is very reasonable and service is great! I recommend the TRILETE if you want to keep it healthy. I'll be back! read more

First Watch - This is my son. He really loves pancakes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

1. Service - I've only been here once, but I've been to multiple locations around town. The lady that serviced us is just as nice as the other locations we've been to. It's like they've been trained under the same manager. Food is important, but for an enjoyment of the experience, this is another major factor. I was very impressed with the friendliness and attentiveness of our waitress. This is an A-La-Carte restaurant, you wait to be seated, order at the table, however, you pay up front at the end of the meal. One thing that is notable, is that they utilize the Yelp app for their waiting list. I mean they take down your name and all at the hostess booth, but you can use the app to track when you are next. This Technology allows you to wait in the car if you wanted. I believe this is the only restaurant in Houston that I've experienced this feature with the app. How cool is that?! 2. Price - $7 - $15 for breakfast. Not too bad. Pretty reasonable. 3. Ambiance - This place gives you a cozy farmhouse feel. Best to go with friends and family. Dress code is casual. 4. Food - This is a great place for breakfast or even brunch. I have a few favorites at this place. But during this visit, I had the HACIENDA HASH. First time had it, it was so good. It came with spicy salsa too. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area appears clean and well kept. Restrooms are a bit wet. Something they can work on. I will definitely come back to this location. read more

Consistently great service and great food. We come here almost every Sunday morning, so that's saying something! We appreciate their gluten friendly options as well. Service is always quick, responsive and reliable. The food is consistently delicious - and we've tried nearly everything on the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms are always clean and I like that they have paper towels and not air driers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's the little things! read more

We've been to a lot of First Watch restaurants, here recently the service seemed to be deteriorating! Our Server Amaris has restored my faith in the superior service that First Watch is known for ! Our food was FRESH & Hot ! And I was spoiled while there. She poured my tea water for me just to ensure that I SAFELY enjoyed a Hot Cup of green tea read more

Every time we eat here, it's a good experience. The food not only tasted good but you can trust it's a quality. Mary Jane was our waitress today and she was as very friendly. My daughter is addicted to the kid's French Toast and the Million Dollar Bacon is a hit! We will be back! read more

My family loves this place. Every time I'm in town this is where we go, something for everyone, family style seating, friendly staff.. I give this place 3 stars because, as a vegan trying to enjoy brunch with my family I am thrilled when there's more than just an avocado toast.. they have a vegan burger that sounded great but after 30 min and the waiter coming with everyone's food I was told my burger was frozen and had not been taken out of the freezer leaving me to wait another 30 minutes , of course we had places to be so I requested a change from the burger to the toast, which came out within minutes. The Kale drink is scrumptious, I always get at least one and our Grandma loves it too! read more

When in search for someplace different do try First Watch for breakfast or brunch. They "proudly serve fresh local produce"....but hey once it is in the prepped and cooked version, it is still pretty darn good! Our first indication that the place would be Worthy was the number of customers. Plenty of parking in front which can mean few customers. However, The place was packed but we only had a short five minute wait. Loved that! Also loved the quick service, friendly, spot-on, professional waiter, the coffee carafe left on the table, and the glass jar of water. Hence the cups and glasses didn't go dry. My first question is centered around America's favorite breakfast food, BACON. You can get it two ways: Regular hickory smoked or the Million Dollar Bacon version. Both are thicker than your normal version....but a big hurray for the Million Dollar version. We had the Chickichanga which was great. My "picky-eater" husband loved it. I had the Tri-Fecta which was any style eggs, bacon and pancake. All was Worthy! I even liked the servicing plates the food was served in! read more

First Watch - The table is set to Breakfast! Liking this place!!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tomball, Texas

The food was terrific! The summer menus was fresh and unique! Sean our server was just fabulous! The speed of service was also exceptional

So FW is a chain so I rate it against others in its chain or similar style/type restaurants. This one is excellent, for me on this trip. And I've never had a bad experience. The service was excellent and avocado toast was very good. But what made this visit so great was the staff. I ordered my food, they brought my drink and it was at that moment I realize had left my wallet at home. So I told the waitress and manager what had happened and told her I needed to go to a bank and get cash. The Mgr told me to eat and then go get the cash. He didn't know me from Adam, but wanted me relax and have breakfast. So I did. Went got some cash and paid the bill. The mgr was great. He and the waitress made it great. Now if they only had Apple Pay. read more

Best breakfast and menu around! Love this place and definitely will be back over and over!

Great breakfast! I'd give 4.5 stars. Fast and friendly service, no wait. Always consistent. My teen breakfast connoisseur thinks the waffle is excellent and orders it every time. Comes with warm syrup. He just wishes the hash browns were shredded. Bacon is delicious here. Lots of healthy options too. Try this location!! read more
