    All our meals ordered via the mobile app. Delish!

    Amazing take out, mobile order experience!!! Ashley and the host with a unique name that started with an "S" provided a great experience. Two weeks after this visit, I just realized I didn't post this review. The order was bagged and ready upon arrival. I asked the hostess if I needed to check it. She said Ashley is pretty good or thorough. I don't remember the exact words she but everything was packed as ordered. We ordered 3 Tri-Fecta Meals and a Frittata Rustica. It was all delicious, filling and worth the drive. No disappointment.

    Fast and friendly service. Tried something new this time. Ordered the Chickichanga. A mixture of chicken, chorizo, onions, avocado and a cheese mix all wrapped up in a tortilla. Topped with a Mexican based sauce and sour cream. Everything all blended together is a nice powerful taste. Definitely can taste the main flavors. Comes with a side of potatoes and a cup of fruit.

    Visited with my grandmother for breakfast on a Thursday morning. Restaurant was clean, plenty of parking and a great experience. We really enjoyed the fresh juices and the menu had many options. Our server was kind and provided good service and the price is not bad for the portion sizes and quality of the food. We spent about $50 for breakfast for two with fresh juices and the million dollar bacon.

    Great little breakfast spot! I think it's open til around 2pm. My friend and I ordered coffees and then I ordered the power wrap and she got the trifecta. Great choices all around and I forgot to get some pictures lol. Our server was on point with everything and the food came out fast. I'd highly recommend this spot for breakfast ... you won't be disappointed!

    Ŵe had to check out this new location closer to home. It is a good-sized one and a very busy. There is a lot of noise from people talking and dishes clattering . There is really nothing to absorb the noise. They do have a side of the building for those who like to dine outside.. And if you prefer, there is an inside bar with tall chairs, maybe 6 or so seats. Our server quickly came by and took my drink order. She never asked my husband what he would like. Also, she was ready to take our food order with the drink order. I was starting to feel rushed. Well, she had to come back as I needed a chance to read the menu. My husband got his usual, the Floridian. I ordered the millionaires bacon done crispy, a favorite. And quickly added as she was about to dash off , the Skillet Hash Market. She paused briefly and repeated the order. The total order arrived in about 10 min.All the food was good, but I would not order that again. We were 3/4ths through, and there she was with the to go boxes and the bill. Again, I felt rushed. We will probably be back. No time soon.

    Tri-Fecta

    I've been dying to try First Watch after hearing such great things about the restaurant. I stopped at the Towson location on my way back from Philadelphia (Fly Eagles Fly) for a late breakfast. It was pretty empty, as it was a Monday morning around 11am. My server, Ty was extremely helpful and attentive. He actually suggested the Tri-Fecta with the French Toast and I'm so glad I went with that option. Luckily they are putting a location near me in Waldorf, Md and I can't wait to go back!

    Mint coffee

    We have been dining here for a while. Sunday, we found the place to be packed. The wait was over 20 min. Decided to order the trifecta breakfast - 2 eggs of your choice (poached), choice of meat (smoked ham), fried potatoes, and toast. Hubby had the Santa Fe breakfast bowl. I really enjoyed the mint chocolate coffee. But I was not happy that my potatoes looked ! If they chef scraped the back of the grill for the potatoes. I had nearly a plateful of burnt potatoes. Please try to be consistent with the meals. The food is good. On a side note, no one wants to change the bathroom tissue -FYI.

    This is a great brunch spot to bring friends and other loved ones together! I came here as a brunch spot to bring together friends nearby in Towson and friends coming far away from CA! The eatery is clean, well lit, and cozy. The staff are friendly and helpful in accommodating to dietary restrictions. Our food arrived quickly and pipping hot! Parking is plentiful in the plaza and the restrooms are clean and organized. They have plenty of seating, ranging from 2 to as much as 6/8 people. I'll be sure to visit again!

    Florentine Eggs Benedict
    Haley S.

    I stopped by this morning and was instantly seated! The inside was almost full but I sat at one of their outside tables because it was so nice out. My server was very nice and patient while I ordered.I got the Florentine Eggs Benedict which was tasty but the eggs were overcooked which was upsetting because you expect the runny yolk. Overall it was a good meal and I'll be back!

    I came to this restaurant on my actual birthday for a date with myself. I have been to the Pikesville location but, this was my first time at the Towson location. Plenty of parking, clean exterior and my favorite was the outdoor seating area for win. The restaurant was mostly full when I walked in so I was offered the outdoor seating area which was perfect for me. It's enclosed with fans and connected to the bar area inside the restaurant. The food came out pretty quickly and it has always been on point. My super fav is the million dollar bacon which is pure deliciousness. Oh Yes, I will be back and back and plan to check out other locations.

    They continue to amaze! We did the Double Dare for brunch. Basically you give the chef free choice…read moreof three items on the savory side and he says, "Hold my beer." Then stand back and let him cook... *wink* We got a Texas toast sandwich: garlic compound butter toast, eggs scrambled with mozzarella and provolone, and fried crispy Prosciutto. Then was the pancake quesadilla. It was just a little sweet which was nice with the cheddar cheese and bacon and sausage filling. Last were some tacos: corn tortillas with a ground beef, griddled potatoes, mushrooms, peppers and cheese topped with some gravy. We ended up taking quite a bit home and I'm looking forward to a second round tomorrow morning. Delicious

    *22 Feb 2026 Update* When we thought this place couldn't be…read moreany better, Glen surprised us and took my rating from 10/10 to 40/10. Everyone who loves breakfast needs to get here IMMEDIATELY! We ordered the "do you dare" and received 3 items that were flawless. Perfect flavor profiles, perfect cooks, and we could not come up with one thing a dish needed. We ate the following (newest photos at end) French toast smash burger (no bacon): 15/10 French toast soft interior, crispy out. Smash burgers seasoned well and juicy. Hash brown just right. Nothing needed. Cheesesteak potato pancake tacos: 15/10-steak and potatoes seasoned perfectly. Pancake had crispy edges but still fluffy, sauce added a little kick. Nothing needed. Strawberry Mascarpone wafer French toast: 15/10-The PERFECT "I want something sweet" choice without indulging in cereal or ice cream. The strawberry and light cream were heavenly. French toast had cinnamon, crispy edges and was remarkable. We will be coming monthly to try any new items and concoctions Glen will whip up. GET HERE! *May 2025 1st Review* A family based smaller staff. What is lacked in 'quantity' they 100% make up in quality. Immaculate customer service from everyone. A hole in the wall for sure, can not be seen from the street. Limited seating inside and outside. Food was perfect. We ordered the following: Pancake breakfast: 10/10 fluffy, crispy pancakes. Home fries were crisp and seasoned. Perfect for 2 kids to share The Wild West: 10/10 very fresh ingredients, good flavor and portion. Recommend. The Washington Ave: 10/10- I added Feta instead of cheddar and that sent things over. Huge sandwich. Flavor packed. Might want a little more sauce. Cappuccino: 8/10 a little too much milk (hot skim milk) Strawberry mint lemonade: 10/10 I recommend breakfast lovers get here!

    I want it again…read more.... This was a very good experience. The courtyard dining was very nice and not as loud compared to the inside experience. The food was fresh and very tasty. Brunch was understood here. The French toast was very nice and not heavy despite its massive quantity. The flavors complimented each other all the way until the last bite. The Montecristo sandwich was balanced savory and sweet flawlessly. This was a hearty selection and could be shared with two. The cheese grits had to be made by someone's grandma IYKYK. The cowboy bacon I could just have a tray of it as it was a flavor bomb covering heat, sweet, salty, savory, and smokey. The staff was super friendly and accommodating working as a team. The table next to me was promptly provided with hot fries upon request due to the original order being "cold". A few minutes passed by and boom hot fresh fries. I had no clue about village and the assortment of shops and restaurants. I'm super happy I stumbled across it and found the hidden gems. They nailed it. 4.8 out of 5

Like many other reviewers, we found it very difficult to locate the restaurant within the plaza. Once we arrived, we were seated quickly, and the initial service was prompt. I also want to acknowledge one aspect of the service that I genuinely appreciated. As someone with celiac disease, dining out can be stressful, yet the staff were attentive to my dietary needs, offered several safe options, and clearly communicated which items might not be appropriate for me to eat. That level of awareness and consideration made me feel welcomed and cared for, and I am grateful for it. Hence, I feel comfortable, providing one star for that purpose. That being said, there were a few moments later when we had trouble finding our waitress after requesting changes to our order. Unfortunately, the changes to our order ultimately became necessary because the food simply was not good. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp and grits. I ordered mine without sausage, while he kept it as prepared. The grits were gummy, sticky, and overly cheesy, something I never imagined I would complain about. As a Black Indigenous American woman, shrimp and grits represents far more than a menu item to me. It is a dish shaped by generations of cultural exchange and resilience, drawing from Indigenous corn traditions and the culinary practices carried by African ancestors and preserved within Gullah Geechee communities. Because of that rich heritage, I hold this dish in high regard. Unfortunately, this version felt disconnected from the flavors, textures, and history that make shrimp and grits such a meaningful part of Southern food traditions. My husband ultimately sent his meal back and ordered the fish sandwich instead, which he also found disappointing. I added an egg to my dish in hopes that it might improve the experience, but it arrived long after I had already lost the desire to continue eating. I was also surprised that, in a state with such a strong military presence, particularly in Baltimore, there didn't offer a military discount. What saddens me most is that we chose this restaurant over several other options because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I believe honest reviews matter, both for future customers and for owners who genuinely want feedback to improve. We spent our money expecting a memorable treat to celebrate my recovery and instead left feeling disappointed and regretful. Looking back, I wish I had asked for a refund while we were there. Honestly, my husband is still upset upset that he spent his money. Despite having the funds available, he believes we would've been better off having a meal at home.

    Pleasantly pleased with my first Persian experience…read more Just off Joppa Road no the eastern edge of Towson is a massive complex built just for shops. In the sea of massage parlors, tanning salons, and laundromats is a Orchard Market & Cafe, serving up authentic Persian cuisine for 35+ years and counting. Had the fam visiting sis in nearby Pikesville. When we come down she always picks somewhere off the beaten path, something unique. This visit was no exception. Having never tried Persian food, I was excited to try something completely new. In this case, it was new yet also familiar. It's kind of like a mix between Indian and Mediterranean. You've got your assortment of stews and grilled meats infused with saffron, cardamom, and turmeric served of course with a side of basmati rice. The Mediterranean influence can be seen in their homemade hummus and use of fresh fruit and vegetables. There is perhaps no better example than the Mango Pear Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, mango, pear, Bulgarian feta and pomegranate vinaigrette. If you're feeling up for some true Persian fusion, you can't go wrong with Spicy Kermani Beef, which features succulent filet mignon sauteed with mushrooms and pepperoncinis in a zesty tomato garlic curry sauce. Everything in that brief description is right up my alley, and usurpingly the meal did not disappoint. Service was on point from start to finish, the finish being a tall glass of Persian saffron ice cream. Now this was truly a first for me, as I've never had anything like this in my life. The taste can be described as earthy, slightly floral and very aromatic. Rosewater adds the floral notes, while the saffron gives it the signature golden-yellow color and luxurious scent. Definitely a one-of-a-kind flavor that I highly suggest trying. The dining room is cozy with some neat pieces of art resembling ancient Middle Eastern artifacts adorning the walls. All in all I'm glad we got to try cuisine that doesn't have much representation in this neck of the woods.
