This was my first time to try First Watch and this Westheimer spot is pretty nice. The staff was super friendly. We got seated immediately and served right away. We had to try the Million Dollar Bacon when we saw it on the menu. It tasted good but it's not something we'll order again because of the price. But, the rest of the food was great! The juices were awesome too! The kale juice is a must try! We will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in here for brunch on a whim and it was delicious! Service was terrific and the Millionaire Bacon, Trifecta, mimosas, coffee, Brooklyn Breakfast, and BLT Benedict were all so yummy! Definitely will stop in here again when I'm in town. read more

The food was hot and fresh. The waitress was on point but little bit annoying coming to our table every 2 minutes like he wants to be part of our conversation. Overall it was a great experience I will highly recommend this place to start your day read more

Someone recommended this place but it was a huge miss for us. Ordered the salmon eggs Benedict and it was terrible. Served luke warm and the eggs were overcooked. Food isn't seasoned well here and lacks flavor. This was just a no all around. read more

There's not many trendy brunch spots in the energy corridor area so it was refreshing to see this hip new spot open up! (Opened in August 2018) I got the morning meditation juice which was not only pretty to look with all its colors, but also very delicious. I wasn't too hungry for a heavy lunch, was looking for something light. So got an avocado toast without the eggs but the seasoned potatoes on the side instead. Food came out in a good looking plate and was nicely presented! Taste was great. My friend got the eggs Benedict with salad and also really enjoyed it. Will surely come again! Highly recommended. Plenty of vegan/vegetarian options for those of us who don't eat meat. read more

Quietly opening in August, First Watch has had a lengthy soft opening. You're welcomed to a bright, cheerful environment. What sets First Watch apart is the wide variety of healthy options. You won't find fries or chips on the menu. Lots of vegetarian,vegan, gluten free choices. I've never been much of a "juice" fan, but their drinks were fabulous. Even the green kale juice mix was fantastic. I ordered a turkey burger. Great flavor. Firm texture. Served with a side salad. My wife ordered a cinnamon chip pancake with 2 eggs & turkey sausage. The pancake was fabulous. Eggs are eggs. Room for improvement? Never got a refill on my ice tea. And the pancakes were served with just one sausage link. The waitress forgot to bring the second link until we reminded her. That's what soft openings are for. They'll get these bugs worked out. I know we'll be back. read more

We've been coming here for a longtime, today was my last trip here. I tried to come last week parked and went in to a table and sat there forever without being acknowledged, finally got up and left to go to another restaurant, where I subsequently had a great breakfast. Thought I'd go back today and give it another chance. Walked up to a waitress I knew and asked for her table, she said to just sit anywhere. So I did and it took forever to get waited on, by another waitress. Placed my order and asked for honey for my tea. Waitress brought everything but the honey. Said I'd like some honey and she responded affirmatively. Waited five minutes for honey and when I got up the waitress was sitting at a back table reading a book, so much for the customer service they used to have. Eventually got my order and the egg whites were still liquid nowhere near cooked. Sent the egg's back and waited and waited. Finally started eating my bacon toast etc. that was left behind because they were getting cold. Ate them very slowly hoping to get my eggs. But no, the eggs came back out after everything else was gone. Tried to eat the eggs and then went to pay. I had a FW gift card that originally had $250 on it and still had $36+ on it. The cashier couldn't get it to work so she got a mgr who also couldn't get it to work, although they had no problem with the other $200+ on it. I told them to let Josh the mgr know that I'm through eating here based on the complete lack of service last week and the horrible experience today. Left the gift card behind and paid my bill for the poorly cooked meal and even worse service and left. read more

Sheila was a fantastic server who really made up feel welcome. As always the food and atmosphere was stupendous and I'll be coming back next weekend! read more

First Watch - Morning Glory - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went to First Watch for lunch today and ordered Shrimp and Grits, they were wonderful. I would order this dish again and again.

I loved the one out in Katy so when they built this one down the street I was excited to eat there but boy am I disappointed. So far I had to literally stop someone to get some water after waiting 20 minutes. A buss boy/runner had to take our order after waiting 30 minutes since sitting down only to continuously get told no when asking if they could substitute things or even just add sausage. read more

First Watch - Very dirty glass and utensils are dirty. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Terrible experience and unprofessional service. The food here is terribly overpriced, for terribly meager portions, but I had a craving for pancakes that weren't IHOP or Denny's. Being how expensive this place is, I expect decent service, even when just doing curbside pickup. Sadly, my experience was very poor. Not only did I have to wait for close to ten minutes at the designated "curbside" pickup area, but then, after I called, I waited a further 5 minutes before I got so frustrated I went to go check for my food. There were 4 waitresses and 3 hostesses all chatting around the entrance and my food cold and forgotten on the shelf. I was told that a drink I ordered was discontinued... even though there was a flyer promoting it on the window... I'm extremely disappointed with this place and I will not be returning. read more

Really like this brunch cafe! Hidden gem! Spacious, clean and chill. If you want something refreshing, try their blue booster tea, it has white grape, blueberry, lemon & basil and tastes super goood!! For food, we got baja chicken burrito bowl and sandwich and they were both super delicious. They have so many food to choose from, and I would definitely come here again. Unlike other restaurants, you have to go up to the exit door area to pay. Great service although our server kept asking repeatedly if we wanted another refresher even though we said no. Maybe he was just being nice but it was a bit awkward. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone :) read more

Bad and didn't give me my phone and I ask for no blue cheese on the cob salad and still gave it to me.

Great food and service... The coffee is fresh and hot and it's a nice environment to have your first (or second) meal of the day in. The staff, especially my server Katherin were all on top of tasks and super friendly. Their menu is big enough for everyone to find something to suit their tastes and they have a great seasonal menu too! This is the perfect brunch spot, they even have cocktails! Don't sleep on First Watch! read more

First Watch - Million dollar bacon, biscuits and gravy, French toast, waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went there with my family and we had a server named Kennedy. She was inattentive and unclear on things. It seemed like she purposely added on the order so it costed more. I wanted the trifecta and I saw an extra pancake on there which I did not order. I asked for some strawberries and she put a side of strawberries which was $5. Usually it's $1-$2 up charge. She rarely checked on us and we barely saw her. The eggs I received on my order were supposed to be over easy and they looked boiled and wasn't even liquid it was cooked all the way through. But she got me some new ones. It wasn't very busy either. And from what I saw she only had one other table. I'm not sure if it was a racial thing or she thought we weren't going to tip but her service was very different with us than the table she had next to us. My family and I tip very well we didn't appreciate the service we received Saturday morning. Maybe she was new I'm not sure but train your employees better. read more

Possibly my favorite new Breakfast & Brunch spot in the area. Nice bright, clean, comfortable interior as you walk in. Wide array of breakfast and lunch choices, featuring fresh, made-from-scratch dishes. Just starting out with tea or coffee, it feels like a first class operation. My order of tea came with my own hot water jug, plenty of tea bags, lemon wedges, and honey. For my breakfast, I ordered the Healthy Turkey Omelet...Egg white omelet with turkey, house-roasted onions, tomatoes, spinach and Feta. Served with whole grain artisan toast and all-natural house preserves. Everything tasted fresh and wholesome. My Mom ordered the Frittata Rustica -- open faced omelet with kale, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms, onions and tomatoes topped with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Subbed the ciabatta for the whole grain toast. It looked really good. We were also tempted by the seasonal Donut Holes. It was just ok. The centers could have been fluffier and the outsides could be a little more crisp, but then not sure how they would make them as they advertise that they don't use deep fryers. The chocolate, creme anglaise and berry dippers for the donut holes were very tasty though. Would definitely like to visit again soon. read more

This was easily one of my go to brunch spots in the neighborhood. However, after the atrocious service I had today I had to lower my star rating. I came in with my family for what I thought would be a nice breakfast but turned into nothing but aggravations. Our server had to be asked on multiple occasions for water. We were as accommodating as possible because I understand that service issues happen sometimes. However the food came out for my entire family of five except mine. The server gave my meal to the other table. What made a simple correction worse was that he tried to cover it up instead of telling the truth. Normally this place is always spot on so this was very disappointing. The manager came and removed my meal from the bill and apologized. The food here is fresh and solid but service is truly hit or miss. They are constantly hiring new people so regulars don't always get the same servers, and that's unfortunate. Come early to avoid the wait, enjoy the food but prepare for an absentee server. read more

Great food!!! Awesome service!!! Reasonable prices. Highly recommended!!! Don't miss out

I've heard good things about First Watch but honestly I wasn't that impressed. I ordered the special of Vanilla Chai Latte Pancakes. The waitress talked me into it since it was only available for a limited time. The pancakes had sliced bananas in them and on top of them along with almond butter drizzled over them. There were also seeds and raspberries on top which I thought was totally unnecessary. The flavor was OK. I've never had bananas sliced inside my pancakes so that was different. But this dish missed the mark for me. I feel like some restaurants try too hard to be trendy or unique. Sometimes it works but for me, that particular dish didn't. Sorry. My husband ordered a small bowl of fresh fruit. He definitely enjoyed it. He went on and on about it. For a cup of coffee, the pancakes and fruit it was $15.67. The prices were fine. Maybe I should have ordered something else. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I doubt we will be back to this location because we don't live over there. I may try the First Watch in Pearland and order something different. read more

I was very happy when they came to our neighborhood but this location sucks! Long wait, unprofessional staff and kitchen is probably the worst of all. We go there once a month for brunch or lunch and its very normal to get wrong food, cold food or bad quality food. Today I got cold pancakes, butter wouldn't even melt on it. Whats the point Of serving pancakes that is cold ? It doesn't feel good when u wait 50 mins for your food and then u r served cold food. It shows u r not professional. U don't care about your customers. I know you are sorry too but I wasted a beautiful Sunday morning in your restaurant. Thats the time that won't come back anymore. Staffs are not smiling here for sure. I really don't think they are busy. There are always empty tables here and there . After covid their service has gone worse. I understand the staff shortages and etc., but this location has far more problems than the staff shortages. Having a manager on duty might help. Maybe they have one on duty but I have never seen a manager checking on tables or managing the staff. Waiter and waitress wont check on you ever, unless you find them and grab them and tell em what you need. I wish this location was better because its very close to our house. I guess it is what it is. read more

Considering their prices, I would expect better quality. I ordered take-out. I don't think they would have served this to me in person. read more

I've been here a couple of times and honestly it is just okay. The food is just okay, I've had the breakfast and lunch which are the only meals that they offer, and it always feels like theres a certain flavor missing. I normally get the Traditional breakfast, but I've also tried the pancakes, which lacked again flavor. For lunch their tomato soup and grilled cheese with ham isn't bad. I do like the fresh juices that they offer that are about 3.99. Perfect way to start a breakfast meal. The place gets very crowded as there is not that many breakfast spots in the area so I recommend going early because it's often packed. Also be patient with the servers. Most of them are new and still learning. read more

First Watch - The Ham and Gruyere with Tomato Basil Soup & Greens - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came on New Year's Day. It wasn't crowded at all but our food still took a really long time. Like many of the reviews said the service isn't that great. My husband never got a refill on his iced tea. My husband ordered the turkey biscuit and gravy and didn't not like it. He said he did not like the texture of the gravy and he couldn't see any turkey sausage. I had the hacienda hash and did not like it either. The flavor was bland and I had substituted the chorizo with chicken sausage that came out cold. The only thing that was decent was the single blueberry pancake we ordered. I liked how it was the outside was a bit crispy. read more

Fresh over cooked food that sounded good on the menu but missed the mark when it was presented. This place is very popular. The service was okay and the menu is absolutely fantastic for brunch but I was very underwhelmed with our dishes. We arrived at 10 AM Saturday and it was busy but not extremely packed. I would try this place again but I will return my food next time around if the dishes don't meet the mark and leave cause the menu can't sound better than the dish. That's upsurd. read more

First Watch's have been popping up everywhere in Houston and has taken over like a storm! What can I say? They do brunch and they do it well. It's pretty hard to mess up brunch, in my humble opinion, but nevertheless, I really enjoy eating at First Watch. They have a varied menu, everything from healthy to less healthy foods, but what I really enjoy is their pressed juices. I would recommend the morning meditation if you like that combination of sweet and tart at the same time. I've also had their pancakes which was definitely on-point. Their traditional breakfast was enough to fill me up and hit the spot for my brunch cravings. I like their seasoned potatoes as well, but I also love all potato products. It is a bit on the pricier side, but if you're willing to splurge a bit for breakfast/brunch, this is a great place to do so. I also liked that there wasn't as long of a line. read more

This has moved to the TOP of our favorite places to come for breakfast. It's our first time here and definitely will not be our last! Thier menu is reminiscent of the trendy crazy Snooze but unlike the loud almost claustrophobic feel that you get there here its calm. You can actually have a conversation without screaming and feeling like packed sardines. And there was no wait! The food: I saw at least 5 things I wanted to try of the regular the regular menu but our server suggested the seasonal menu that was ending. I was not disappointed. Can't wait to come back. read more

Worst service out of all locations , first time I came and the waiter took forever to get our meal , but ok everybody deserves a second chance . Second time it took the hostess like 20 mins to sit us with many empty tables and were a party of two , I walked out and left after other people got seated that came in after us. Worst service ever i recommend going to the Katy location this one sucks read more

This is a great new spot for brunch, right off of Eldridge and Westheimer! At 11:20, the wait was 15-20 minutes (not too shabby). I would suggest they automatically hand out menus to the people who put their name on the wait list, to expedite ordering once you get to the table. Also, I don't know what the WiFi is like with no one on it, but I couldn't even get one Mbps! If you step outside, a network called Cable WiFi appears that had 88.9 Mbps download! I guess I'll just have to sit outside next time! The food was delicious, and our server was very cordial and attentive! Try the chickichanga, Florida French toast, million dollar bacon, and a frittata!!! All were scrumptious! Please, please, please start selling mimosas! read more

2 visits in.... I'm liking this place a lot. Healthy, fresh food, supports local businesses, attentive staff and management, and along the way to work. Portions are reasonable in relation to prices-- please keep it that way. I've eaten at a few of the FW and like the food. My most recent visit I kept it simple with the Traditional Dish-(4) bacon, egg white, fruit and multigrain bread-- which is a true winner. The multigrain bread is excellent. Understand from server they do sell it by the loaf @ $7. FW .....keep up the good work!!! read more
