Gary Donovan, the operations manager, was incredible. He put my order in, put a rush flag on it (since I'd been waiting for my original order for almost an hr by that point), and was super apologetic/friendly, even though the issue did not lie with the restaurant. He even comped a drink; I'd ordered a butterfly haze drink and I don't think he heard me so it wasn't included in my original transaction, but he declined my order to charge me for it once I realized. Gary and his team were superstars and ensured that I got my food quickly and efficiently. I'm so appreciative!

It's really a shame how poor service and management can ruin a restaurant…read more For many years I have enjoyed First Watch. I have patronized numerous locations. I have been going to their Pikesville location for 4 years. NOT ANYMORE! Let's start with the rude man who is the Host/cashier. He seats folks however he feels like rather than when they came in. Today was the last draw! He sat two women who came in after I did before me. Say what you will but "coincidentally" they were black and so is he! The feckless manager offered no help. This arrogant front man is mishandling his position while the manager retreats to the kitchen. I know several customers who have abandoned the Pikesville location for the Owings Mills facility. I previously wondered why, but not anymore. THE PIKESVILLE FIRST WATCH IS DETERIORATING!

As others have said, this is a Black owned establishment that serves a community without many sit down options. I'm really pleased that they do a great job with service, food quality and price point. HSH doesn't have an extensive list of options, so they're able to do what they do pretty well. For appetizers, I've only had the fried green tomatoes. Pretty flavorful, especially with the sauce. In different visits, I've ordered salmon and grits, shrimp po boy, salmon and grits. All of them solid choices. At one of our "working lunches" we opted for adult beverages to take the edge off of an especially trying day lol. Sturdy drinks indeed. It's really a decent spot for a nice breakfast, brunch or lunch at a reasonable price. Definitely recommended.

You order, put the number on the table, eat, and go. The food comes out surprisingly fast. The ingredients just taste fresh and clean. Not overly salted. It's simple food, but done right. I was surprised how much I liked the place. It's not a place you would travel to go eat. It's a place that if you're in the area and need breakfast and brunch, you can't go wrong. I recommend checking this place out.

Big size shrimp with creamy Cajun delicious grits. Really good. My coworker got the buttery panckages so the grits, eggs and bacon. A ton of food for a good price. She said the pancakes were buttery and delicious from the first bite. If I'm ever back in the area this will be a MUST STOP. The food is great and the prices aren't bad.

One of the bartenders used to work at the Blue Lagoon and I was so happy to see her. It's so funny how you make strangers apart of your life while enjoying your meal. You don't know anything about them yet you are sad when they miss work. I think that is the "American Dream". Work hard enough for someone else to be your "server". Or your nail tech.

It was definitely busy and a lot of people waiting to be seated. It appeared trendy and nicely decorated. If waiting there is a bar but seating there was full as well. Parking is good if parking in the rear or the parking garage across the street on the other side of World of Beer. The menu was very inviting and mouthwatering. I ordered the Chicken and waffles, a side of eggs and fruit on top of my waffles and an espresso martini. Unfortunately the eggs were the only thing I ordered that came out ok. The check came out and it had chicken tenders and fries and eggs price was $4 which was $2 on the menu. In addition, there was gratuity added with the service being terrible only for the food and my drink. The server was attentive. The bill was paid and the server was given a tip just because. I did not get any food nor drink. The food came out with good presentation but was literally room temperature or closer to cold. I will not be coming back.
