This place used to be a good place but one bad experience can change all of that on a dime. Which is what happened to us. We came in for a nice breakfast early in the morning (literally 5 tables of customers - including us). The waitress gave us a booth and 10 minutes later decided to come back for our drinks so we ordered our food as well considering how slow she was working. It's early so we definitely need our coffee at this point. 10 minutes past and she literally did everything else but bring us our drinks. After disappearing for another 5-10 minutes we still don't have our drinks and by now our food is probably about ready. So I get up and explain to the kitchen manager (Julian) that we don't even know where our waitress is and she is out OFO (military term) and asked if we could get our coffee. He huffs and puffs because that's not his job but agrees. I sit down thinking all is good. He comes with the coffee and fills up my wife's coffee and I tell him that he doesn't have to pour it; I can do it and thanked him. He then, in a condescending tone, lectures us on "good vibes" and this is a "good vibe place so refrain from insulting the wait staff" and continues his lecture. Seriously? At this point I go thru our convo and at no point did I insult her other than to say she's no where in the building and yes she was OFO because she wasn't doing her job after waiting a decent amount of time before saying anything. So now I'm upset and we decide that's it, we are leaving. On the way out I see the manager that we talked to as we walked in and explained the situation as Julian tried to come up and hear what I said. So I literally spelled out all the facts and yes I did say OFO but did not insult anyone but merely described her lack of service. That particular manager apologies and Julian huffed and walked back to the kitchen after the facts and timelines were laid out. I told the manger that we will not come back especially when there are other First Watch restaurants nearby. So let me get this straight, I'm expected to pay what we have to pay (this place is a little pricier) for our meals then tip 20% for subpar service after waiting forever and get a lecture from Julian who's upset because I described poor service in a more direct tone. As I said, the expectation is to provide reasonable service in a timely manner then you may get 20% but 20% of my hard earned money for these "good vibes" is not where I'm spending my money. read more

Not a bad place to come if you want a breakfast that's straightforward. Not too fancy, and the portions are appropriate. I ordered a fresh juice, decaf coffee and the Trifecta which came with a waffle, chicken sausage and two over medium eggs (you can choose your own combination). I really enjoyed the waffle with their hot syrup! The juice was really refreshing as well. It made me feel quite healthy given the fact that I was eating a waffle with syrup . I only wish they could juice to order instead of having the juice premade, I would have preferred it without the added sugar. My only critique was the eggs. It can be kind of tough making an over medium eggs, but mine came out underdone. I had them remake it and they came out fried hard. Ah well, the quest for perfect over medium eggs continue. Service was great! And the whole thing cost me 20 bucks. I'll come back with the fam. Hope this helps! read more

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. read more

Our order was correct. We ordered takeout, and that was the right choice. That place was packed, the wait time was not too bad, but the downside is you can't get chicken and waffles here The food was good, and the drinks were great. read more

Beautiful ambiance inside - noisy and busy at brunch. Happy there's a Towson location. We went on Saturday and it was packed but we only had to wait about 10 minutes and they text you when you are up. I always get the bacado (bacon avocado) omelet from First Post. It came with strawberry jam, multigrain toast, pico de gallo, and salad greens (can sub other things). Omelet is always delicious, flavorful, and generously portioned. It's a nice complete plate. I got the carrot cake pancake on the side - I think I would have preferred a different flavor because while it did taste like a carrot cake, it veered too far from pancake to be what I wanted. It was big and a good size but expensive at $8 per pancake. if you're going to get a pancake, get 2 because it's $5 per pancake that way. My husband got the cinnamon chip breakfast, which had 1 cinnamon chip pancake, 2 eggs, and a few sausage links. He said it was just okay, maybe a 3/5 stars. It didn't look like a really filled out plate or well-balanced. They had cold brew with oat milk on the side - no oat milk substitution could be made for the other special coffees on the menu. Overall, a decent brunch spot at a mid-price point with good ambience, just gotta order the right thing. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had an incredible experience at First Watch in Towson, and it was all thanks to our server, Christian. She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests she serves her energy was warm, positive, and so refreshing early in the morning. Christian checked on us at all the right times, made thoughtful recommendations, and made sure everything came out exactly how we wanted it. She had this perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness that truly made us feel comfortable and taken care of. You don't always come across servers who make your entire meal feel special, but Christian definitely did. 10/10 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

First Watch - Market Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Came here for lunch with friends as I was visiting from out of state. Our server was friendly and knew exactly when to attend to us the whole time. She left us alone when needed and answered all our questions. There was one item on the menu I wanted but was informed that this location didn't have it. I ended up getting the breakfast tacos, my friends got the two specials, one being tacos and one was pancakes. The lavender lemonade I ordered was perfectly refreshing. The food was really good. The tacos came in 3, and honestly I could only eat two. But they were well seasoned! I could have used a little more egg, but that may be a personal preference of mine. After we ate we sat and chatted to catch up. The staff never made us feel rushed and before we realized it, they were closed and we were still there. I never like to do this to restaurants and I definitely wouldn't have been offended had they mentioned to us they were closing. After we paid our check our server took photos for us. She was so sweet I wish I remembered her name. I just remembered she said that's not the location she usually works at. I love that there's healthier and heartier portion on the menu. I will definitely be back on my next visit in town. read more

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. read more

Overall it was a good meal and I'll be back! read more

This morning I went to breakfast with my girlfriend for her birthday. I'm not a cheap ass but we went because supposedly they give a free entree for a guests birthday. Immediately walking in we were seated and it took 10 minutes to get greeted by our server. As someone who works in the industry we're told that guests should be greeted within 2 minutes whether you're busy or not. Just a nice hi how are you I'll be with you in a few minutes and this review wouldn't even be happening. When putting in our entrees we told our server it was her birthday and that we came because she had a free entree and our server said great. After eating we went to the front to pay and when saying it was her birthday all the staff went ahead to scramble and try to figure out how to comp her food. After another 10 minutes our server came to the front and told us that my girlfriend needed an email with a barcode... Ended up paying for the entire meal simply because I was sick of the entire thing. Safe to say I won't be back! read more

Terrible. Dirty. Avoid. The food was cold, and the presentation was terrible. They need to launch an investigation into the cooks in that kitchen. read more

~ I enjoyed eating here. The service was exceptional from the jump. I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door (10am) & was seated in about 10 mins. I was a lil line, but I can see they keep things moving pretty well in there. Ordered the French toast w/scrambled eggs & turkey sausage first & imma say 6.5 out of 10 for the French toast. They weren't bad at all, but they ain't give me enough to make me wanna come back. Just, clean, respectable French toast. Maybe it was the brioche bread as to why I didn't hate it or love it. The cage-free eggs were great tho. Wish they would have offered them with American cheese, instead, they had cheddar & provolone only. ( if I remember correctly). Great texture, great color, wonder taste... 9.0 for the eggs tho. Turkey Sausage was solid as in every restaurant. I had to customize my omelet, cause they were doing too much with the swine in the omelet that I wanted. ( The Works). So I just pretty much got " The Works Omelet" but used turkey sausage as my only meat (pause). That was a 2 out of 10. Prob the worst thing I ordered there. Iono why they think people prefer Cheddar and Monterey Jack as their primary cheese. Bammas want AMERICAN CHEESE 1st. Tried the pancakes and they were dry. No signature taste. No buttermilk taste. No nothing. Don't waste your time. On the brighter side, that tropical sunrise juice was amazing. I think I had 4-5 of them. Must try !! Think I spend about $103.00. Parking was easy since it was in a shopping mall. Wouldn't come back to try anything else. Plus the menu was scanty. Enjoy ~ #TeamDiesel read more

Not happy at all! Chef doesn't pay attention to instructions, or maybe they can not read and/or do not know the recipes of the dishes. 3rd time something has been missing or wrong with my order. If I ask/ pay for Xtra sauce I dont receive any of it all together or just very little.. it very frustrating when u pay for something and you don't enjoy it due to error! Just horrible! Contacted manager..wasn't much of a help. read more

Love this place. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and service is quick.

We stopped in for brunch on a Tuesday and it was an amazing experience! We were seated right away and our waitress was super attentive. We were even checked in on by additional wait staff during our visit. The environment is very clean and inviting. Even the patrons seemed cordial to other dining guests. It is a great option to enjoy a meal as a family or group. We ordered coffee, orange juice, and sweet tea. I love that the restaurant has a variety of flavored creamers and sweeteners accessible right at the table. We didn't order any during our visit, but First Watch also offers a selection from a fresh juice bar which is a nice touch. For food, we enjoyed the Belgian waffles (the preserves are delish), bacon, home fries, French toast, link sausage, eggs, and pancakes. While the pancakes weren't my favorite (they could have been a bit more flavorful and cooked a little longer for my own taste), the French toast and the waffles were delicious. Warmed syrup was provided. The seasoned potatoes were also perfectly cooked. The food overall was reasonably priced and well-prepared. We were very pleased with our first dining experience at First Watch and we'll most certainly be back soon. read more

Stopped in to get some brunch. We sat at the bar (non alcoholic). We had a very nice waiter. The food was delicious. It felt light healthy eating. I had the works omelette which came with potatoes.

It was pretty busy but, the service didn't lack in any way. I would definitely return. Check it out if you are in the area. read more

Yayyyy so happy that the Towson location is finally open. The restaurant is so nice inside. So happy that my husband and I were able to stop by for the soft opening this past weekend. We frequent the Timonium location and I recognized staff from there. Our reservation was for 11:30am on Mother's Day and we were seated promptly. We got our usual pancake orders, the blueberry and banana granola almond crunch. Both decided on sides of bacon. I love the grapefruit juice so I had a glass and my husband decided on orange juice. As usual, the food was on point! We'll definitely be frequenting this location. Can't wait to try the carrot cake pecan pancake next! :) read more

I was really excited to try First Watch and unfortunately I feel let down. I did love the ambiance and decor of the restaurant. We went in early this morning and there were only a couple other tables there. I was unable to get a decaf coffee unfortunately so I just got water instead. We placed our order with the drinks so we wouldn't have to wait long if they got busy and it's a good thing we did. Once our food came out, we did not see our waitress again for about 15-20 minutes after we were done with our food. They did get a little busier during this time, but the restaurant was far from full. Once we finally saw her, we got a box and our check so we could leave. I was not impressed with the service or food, I would describe both as mediocre. One meal was the trifecta, minus eggs sub potatoes and it was just average. The second was the Hacienda Hash, also sub eggs for extra potatoes. This meal was slightly better, although the chorizo was very few and far between. Overall everything was average and I would have just happier eating at home. read more
