The food was fresh and well-executed, and both the service and food delivery were impressively quick. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the space itself is clean, modern, and inviting. The decor creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the outdoor seating area--with games available--makes it a great option for families or groups. Overall, a lovely spot that we would happily return to.

My most recent experience:…read more I typically love first watch but not this time. The service was trash, the food was mid. My drink was delicious. But I won't be back anytime soon !! Especially not to this location. It seemed like there were issues from the moment I walked in. I was greeted and seated immediately but it took longer than a few minutes for someone to take my drink order. A little while after my drink order was taken, the waiter came back to ask if I was ready to order. I told him I needed a few minutes to look at the menu. I had to wait longer than a few minutes while the waiter had a full blown conversation with a gentleman who was seated next to me so that was a little annoying. Anyway, when the waiter came back I asked for the farmhouse hash with no meat. He confirmed with me more than once on how I wanted my eggs. I said scrambled eggs when I received my plate, the eggs were poached so it was sent back and corrected. I ate my meal. It wasn't that good and I noticed a few small pieces of meat in the hash but I didn't send the plate back since I didn't notice it until I was halfway through with the meal. When I was done, I asked for the check and for some reason, I was charged twice for the hash so I tell the waiter, he apologizes and corrects the bill. Idk.. I've never had an experience like this at first watch but it was enough for me to not want to go back. The service felt very inattentive and I wonder if it was that way because I was there alone instead of with a large group like most of the people who were there.

Clean restaurant, nice atmosphere. Service was just OK. When I walked in I stated hello to the…read moreserver, waiting for a response from her and after a few awkward seconds of looking at me she finally stated, how many? Really, that was my welcome?The restaurant had a few customers for the early Saturday morning. I was sat at a table that was very wobbly. The server had to notice because she moved the table around before seating me. Really, all these empty tables and you sit me at the wobbly one. I ordered a hot tea and ice water. The water for the tea tasted like it came from the coffee pot. Restaurants need to learn not to use the same pot for hot water that is used for coffee. I get bad indigestion if I drink any amount of coffee. So much so I now state I am allergic to coffee. So restaurants, please stop mixing the pots without doing a deep cleaning. I also ordered "The Southerner". It has 2 sausage patties, 2 eggs over medium served on a split biscuit, covered with sausage gravy and a side of grits. I requested the gravy to be on the side. The eggs were cooked great, sausage patties also great. The biscuit they were on had an odd taste. Didn't taste like the biscuits were baked, maybe fried? That would probably explain the biscuit being tough. The sausage gravy was not good. The gravy was thin/runny with cut up pieces of the sausage patties, but it lacked the sausage flavor. The grits were also very soupy. I had pushed my full cup of hot tea to the edge of the table, the server either didn't notice or just didn't care. I was only asked once if I was needing anything else, and since she didn't ask about my full cup of tea, I wasn't going to say anything. When she came over to the table she asked if I needed anything, I stated No, I am done. She asked if I wanted my check, and I paid my tab. They do advertise Bloody Mary's and other breakfast cocktails but I didn't have any of those. The location is good, area outside for the kids to run and play. Seating outside also to watch the kids. I think I would only return to this place if I am invited out to brunch with my group of friends. Otherwise, would be a long while before I return, being hopeful things have improved.

We had a great Sunday brunch experience at Brick and Spoon in Texas City. Unlike most Houston bunch…read morespots, we didn't have to wait to be seated -- Got there at around 10:30am and immediately got seated at a table for two! They have an incredible selection of Bloody Mary's and they can even be customized with tons of toppings. I stuck with water this go around but ordered the Grown Up Grilled Cheese with fries. The toast was perfectly toasted and the ingredients on the grilled cheese made for a perfect brunch sandwich. Fries were super crispy and yummy too. This is a great spot for anyone who enjoys a good local spot with fresh menu options for sweet or savory preferences. Great atmosphere and nicely decorated. Highly recommend. Only reason for 4 stars is the wait staff was a bit all over the place but I'm sure it was just them trying to remain on top of providing a quick brunch service.

We really enjoyed our visit to Slate Table + Bar on a Tuesday. We made a reservation on OpenTable…read morejust in case there was a wait. We were seated just before a large party showed up. We sat by the wine cellar/private dining room and were graciously served by Amanda. Our table ordered the goddess pasta (you can add shrimp or chicken) and the elote ravioli (as suggested by Amanda). After checking out pics of elote ravioli on yelp, I knew what I would order. I considered adding the grilled watermelon salad, I'll save that for next time! The elote ravioli's presentation was beautiful!! Check out the flowers and the garnishes in the pic. The flavors were a delightful mix of spice and richness (not too much of either IMO). Amanda made a great traditional margarita for my mom (sweet price at $10). Wine by glass and bottles are priced well. Dessert was interesting; we ordered the smoked bread pudding. It usually sells out quickly, so glad we got to try it. I am unsure if I would order that one again (especially bc I want to try the other ones), but it was really interesting and made me think of smoking foods differently.

I had another perfect experience at Red Oak Cafe. I'd been raving about it to my cousin and we…read morefinally got a chance to dine here today. Alyssa was our super sweet and attentive server. She was awesome. Everyone loved their food. I had the Big Breakfast again and had the same banana pecan pancakes I ordered during my last visit but this time I got jalapeno bacon as my protein and hashbrowns instead of grits. The bacon was SO GOOD and was full of jalapeno flavor but minus the spice. I could've eaten a couple more slices of that goodness. It was crispy, a tad bit burnt but again it was so good. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. I also made sure to get plenty of strawberry butter this time and I slathered it all over my pancake and biscuit. The kiddos had child's plates that included two mini pancakes, eggs and a choice of protein. My cousin had a hash that looked incredible and she said it was very tasty. I'll have to try it out one day if I can ever break myself away from the pancakes. Just like last time the amibiance was warm, cozy, family friendly and Christian themed. This just might be my fave breakfast spot. I absolutely love it.

The servers were nice but seemed a little inexperienced, however, they did fine in comparison to…read morehorrible servers that we had in the past. We were not expecting the food to be as good as it was because we chose this location because of its proximity to our home, the price was very reasonable and the reviews were a 3.8. Had the reviews been a 3.4 and lower we would've probably kept looking. I ordered a waffle combo and I had 2 sausage patties and 3 over medium eggs and they were able to accommodate me with sugar free syrup that was really good. My wife had the twice over (I may have the name wrong) but it was ham, 2 sausage patties, 2 over medium eggs, and toast with sliced tomatoes. Our food was amazingly delicious given the low price, the smallness of the restaurant, and the lack of a more welcoming vibe, not the service but the atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, it was chill but in a weird kind of half warming way if that makes sense. In a nutshell, I would still recommend this place and will go back. Enjoy!

Saturday breakfast with the fam brought us to the heart of Friendswood. Some of my family lives…read moreclose by so they suggested this spot which was new to me. It is located in a strip of businesses and parking plentiful even with a peak breakfast crowd. This location is one of three located south of Houston. The restaurant itself isn't very big so tables are pretty close together. They also have bar seating if you're eating solo, but no alcohol as far as I could tell. Customer service was ok. Our guy was friendly but there were things left off the order and we had to repeat requests a few times. I started off with coffee. I like that they creamer choices at the table that was also stocked really well. The menu is pretty extensive and there is something to please everyone here. They have a whole page showing they can make your eggs in every which way. They truly did cover all the bases as far as having every variety of breakfast you can think of. This place stays open until 2 so they also have a page of lunch options as well. My family got a variety of different things and not one complaint was heard. I went for something a little different called the Eagle's Nest. It's basically a scramble. It had diced ham, bacon, sausage, peppers, onions and tomatoes scrambled with eggs, hash browns and topped with cheese and white gravy. I specifically asked for sausage gravy as an upgrade but didn't get it. I wasn't about to waste food so I kept it. I think sausage gravy would have made this dish elite. The regular white gravy had to be doctored up with a little more salt and a lot more black pepper. I love a mish mash of food all in one bite so this dish was good once I added my little flair. It came with a side of your choice of bread and I went with sourdough. It was weird that they serve the bread dry and toasted and do not even offer butter unless asked. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here. The minor misses pale in comparison to the good. I would most definitely come back if in the area as this immediate stretch of 518 doesn't have alot of unique options like Pelican.

Service: everyone was nice and accommodating. They all work very hard and come around regularly to check on you and top off your coffee.
