    It's my second time at first watch . They have a lot of different options. The food is pretty good . Service is good and it was busy and packed Which is good . I want to try their pancakes next

    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.

    AM superfoods and smoked Benedict and chocolate chip pancakes.

    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 went for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and I was part of a party of two. The service was great, the food was amazing and the ambience was perfect. I highly recommend this location.

    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.

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

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!

    Drove by this place looking for a cafe close, went to my Yelp for review help…read more The reviews were mixed but it seemed popular. There isnt available parking near. I went in and was met with soothing holiday music and friendly staff. I ordered the Seasonal Scramble with the help of the staff I was settled not to get the asian pears on my scramble but on the side. The seasonal scramble comes with home fries and multi grain toast. The eggs are made with goat cheese and some other ingredients. The goat cheese was not a hit with this. The home fries were cold. I also ordered their popular cinnamon toast latte. I was not a true fan as the coffee used is quite strong ang bitter. I ordered to go and to my suprise I see that this is an Atlas Restaurant Group establishment. Because these folks were nice, I may come back and try something else because this $18 meal was not tasty. It gave me a queasy stomach smelling and eating the eggs with the goat cheese.

It was huge so I took half home to enjoy later. Alyssa was very friendly and helped me find a to-go container and also replaced the coffee that was out. Very friendly and professional employees here. Free hour parking across the street in the open lot. The highlight? Purse hooks at each table along the wall. Nice touch! It's the little things....

The area near the front window almost feels like a private table. It was definitely giving a great vibe. We checked the menu prior to picking this place and they had EXACTLY what I wanted. I had a big ole brunch of their Grand Marnier Strawberry French Toast which was a three stack of THICCCCC cut Texas bread. It was better than I hoped for! And I brought at least half of it home, because ole greedy butt over here also got the platter with the home fries (I asked for onions and got this caramelized onion topping that was almost a jam. Yummm), the bacon and the eggs your way (scrambled with cheese). My companion had this big ole omelette with a lot of veggies and shared my french toast. The sauce they served with the home fries was sooooo good - it was almost like Heinz 57 sauce but with less of a vinegary bite. The jam that came for my English Muffin was delicious and praise GOD they served butter that wasn't ice cold and unspreadable so yeah hella points for that. For the mimosas, we did the "buy the carafe and the bottle", with a carafe of cranberry juice and a bottle of Cava Prosecco. I loved that we were able to select WHICH bubbles we wanted and for two people it worked out very well price wise. The host (tall guy with a mohawk) and our server (Robyn) were absolutely fantastic. Personable and friendly and very attentive, very much able to answer any questions we had (THANK YOU ROBYN!!!). In short - this place is a gem and yall should go! Be mindful of the parking in the area, but dont let that stop you from a delicious meal in a lovely setting!!

Just a heads up: the space is small and the bar isn't always open, so I highly recommend making reservations. Great food, great energy, great brunch experience.

The menu is absolutely enormous and the interior lacks character and charm with uncomfortable bench seating and scarce decor. I opted for an omelette which came with pepper jack cheese, bacon, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream. The description was unclear about whether it came with home fries and bread or the option of either home fries or bread. When I asked our server about this, he gave me a mixed response and seemed confused himself. I told him IF it comes with bread, I'll need the gluten free option which ended up being pretty good. My boyfriend got the blueberry pancake which he seemed to love. He also got a side of their "million dollar bacon" and "the works" omelette. There was some more confusion from our server who thought he wanted to sub the bacon in the omelette for the million dollar bacon but he ended up asking for our clarification before any mistakes were made. My omelette came out first and it was dry and overcooked. Definitely not a fluffy omelette and the half a spoonful of sour cream wasn't helping. The home fries were SO salty and that's coming from someone who has a savory palate. I couldn't finish them. My boyfriend's omelete came out and was a lighter, different color and looked a lot fluffier which makes me think mine was kept on the skillet too long. The million dollar bacon was just bacon covered in maple syrup. It was so disappointing and definitely not worth the almost $7 for 4 pieces. We had to chase our server down for our check in the end. Our meal ended up being over $50 for the two of us. Considering the quality of the food and service, I wouldn't say it was worth it. This is the kind of place that pretends its "farm fresh" but really is the same quality as IHOP at a slightly more expensive price.

    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.
