    Pumpkin pancake sooo  good
    Angie H.

    The front hostess Hannah was very pleasant and friendly as she seated us to our table. We ordered a different plate today some Italian hash and was making a suggestion to the server Angelica who was so polite and kind. She then offered to replace the meal and we explained to her that it wasn't necessary we are always happy here. However, the pumpkin pancake was so delicious Manager Calvin came to us directly and was so nice and professional and wanted to ensure us that sometimes a mistake is made but they take pride in their restaurant and appreciated our comment. Now this is the best if any management experience that my hubby and I have ever experienced together. 5 stars to this establishment.

    I haven't been to this place in years did not have a good experience the first time not at this location though my wife said let's give it another try and to my surprise it was amazing a complete 180 food was really good. We like the ambience inside as well very calming.

    Update: Made another visit to First Watch because I was craving the BEC, and additionally tried the Floridian French Toast. Was super good and the fruit was fresh. Service was also fantastic this morning that we went, wish I remembered the server's name to shout him out because he really was great. Restaurant was very clean and made for a nice morning

    I like to write about a place while I'm here when the food is so good, the waitress and rest of the staff are so friendly, and when the establishment is so beautiful inside! I ordered the Works Omelet, grits, and a side of sausage. Everything, and I mean everything down to the toast, had its own flavor. The grits were so buttery it literally melted in my mouth. The toast came out with butter spread already on top with a side of jam. I wish I knew what kind of bread they use and what jelly that was. I ate both pieces. And the omelet was its own attraction! So, you know how sometimes you get an omelet, and the insides are minimal. Like it's barely any meat, or onions and mushrooms. So, I ordered a side of sausages just in case. Well, this was not the case here; there were plenty of sausages, ham, mushrooms, veggies, onion, etc One more thing to boot: this place smelled so good. I noticed that as I walked in the door. It was a very pleasant fragrance in the air. But most of all, this is a happy place, a friendly place; it was nice to see the staff joking and playing with each other while helping each other to make sure no one was overwhelmed because it was crowded. But the service was fast, getting everyone situated at their table and food ordered. And a special thank you to my waitress, the cute girl with her hair pulled up in a ball on top of her head. I don't know why my pictures are not coming up.

    First watch I can honestly say is my new favorite brunch spot close to home. The setup is amazing and can be very intimate! Right when you step in the door you are greeted with amazing service! The restaurant is also very clean. Sitting at the table gave me an old fashioned feel with the coffee cups sitting the table. Our server Shannon was amazing! He made sure our food was fresh and treated us with such kindness. He also let us taste try a few new drinks on the menu! Because they make fresh juice daily here. The wait time was just perfect for food! And very fresh! No more than ten to fifteen minutes. The parking lot is shared with other businesses but the parking is not to bad. Shannon also left us a quote on a card it was such a kind gesture. Definitely will be returning.

    The restaurant wasn't too busy but very unorganized, or understaffed don't know which. I was by myself and was sat at a table at 1240 at 1252 the waiter came to see if I wanted coffee I said no just water and I was ready to order so I did. At 102 waiter brought water ( so took 10 minutes must have gone to the well) about 15 minutes later food was delivered. Salad had way to much dressing and didn't have much lettuce only 1 small pieces of avocado the half sandwich was ok. There were a lot dirty table. The waiter would interact with other table that have only women for long periods but didn't say more than 10 words to me. Over all don't think I would go back.

    Great place for brunch or breakfast! Delicious food, clean place, great service! Our waiter was amazing he was polite and attentive! He made some suggestions that I absolutely loved. Felt very welcomed over all. Vast parking space.

    Came to First Watch for Sunday brunch and it was a pack house. The hostess said it would be a 30 min wait. She asked for my name and phone number so they can send me a text to my phone. We literally waited for 2 mins and our table was ready. Bella was really sweet and took our orders. Very tentative and checked if we need anything. The place is a little chaotic but I didn't expect anything less since it was a Sunday. Food was great! I had the fall special, the Modern Croque Madame. It's one my favorite and definitely would get it again.

    One thing that most Houston and nearby places have is the lack of good service ... First Watch management must be doing a great work because the service at this location is unique ... the attention to detail and how the servers make sure you're having a good time while enjoying. Your food. Samantha our server the best I've encounter in Texas. But not only her other servers not assigned to our table received us with a smile and welcome greeting. A good communication between them and a a good work environment ... you can see the employee faces when they walk by the co-workers they share the same smile they share with the customers. We will be back for sure! ... this service is priceless!!!!

    Croque Madame on the Fall 2022 menu. Don't miss it!
    Leah G.

    The new Fall 2022 menu is great. The Croque Madame is cravable!! The egg dish is covered in Parmesan cream sauce and fresh tomato and Bacon!!! First Watch serves many breakfast dishes with a small lemon dressed salad which is a great compliment to their rich decadent meals. Secret: a kind server may give you a little take home of their amazing Lemon White Vinegar Balsamic Vinaigrette! (At least ask) I absolutely LOVE that I can get in line before I leave my house in the online app. The staff at the Lakewood location is always wonderful and welcoming. We always get a Morning Meditation juice to start the day. I highly recommend First Watch anytime!

    This place has amazing service while also have some of the best food! The place is very nice with servers who care and the food is really good and the food is not served cold! The place was a quieter place and more relaxed.

It's got chickens, goats, a pig, ducks, herb garden, a small pond, a country store and plenty of shady trees to roam around while you wait for your table.

We all know the Houston weather, it doesn't get any cooler. Although, at the patio, you can see curious chickens roaming around your tables, which is cute and entertaining. We sat in a hot day of July, in the patio. I drank enough melted iced water for the whole week. Service was super caring. Many check-ins, many reassurances that she didn't forget our orders. My friend and I were having the best time in catching up. Food was lean. Smoothies tasted so good. My friend loves their coffee there. I wish I had the energy to visit the surroundings of the restaurant. But given how hot it was, I had to leave this for another day. Parking isn't the easiest but keep in mind this is a popular spot! I really appreciate this unique concept to remind us where the food comes from. Highly recommend, as long as you have a lot of patience !

The cafe itself is cute and on the smaller side. There isn't a ton of seating, but there's enough to settle in and enjoy a treat. The staff gave us such a warm welcome and were quick to help us navigate all the options which there were PLENTY of. We decided to experiment a little and grabbed the lemon, dot gelato cake, and several of the mini iced treats. Now visually?! 10/10. These treats are absolutely beautiful and almost too cute to disturb. Taste-wise, though... this is where they lost us a little. The texture of the lemon just wasn't quite for me personally. The gelato treat was adorable, but it was so frozen that getting through all of its layers and really enjoying the flavors together was a bit difficult. The dot cake was probably our winner of the day and the one we enjoyed most. Overall, I'm still glad we stopped in and gave the viral treats a try. The cafe was cute, the presentation was beautiful, and the people were genuinely lovely it just turned out that the desserts we chose were more of a "fun to experience once" than a "we need to come back for these immediately" situation for us. I think we'll file Cafe Ninda under experiment accomplished
