I've always loved first watch for the food, service and the cleanliness. This time around they had a blueberry cornbread which was just . The only part I don't like about this chain is the lack of reservation capability. Apart from that it's a great brunch spot for any occasion read more

Delicious!!!!! Our visit was seamless. The hostess was spot on about our half hour wait. The waitress was so attentive with great recommendations. Conversations were subdued and tables were cleared in a timely manner. The BOGO was the cherry on top. It pays to signup for emails folks! read more

A friend and I decided to grab a quick lunch. Our waitress took our orders and our food came out promptly .We both ordered the same dish with different fresh fruit drinks. I ordered the Kale Tonic! It was delightful my friend ordered the morning meditation. I loved it so much, didn't get a chance to take a photo. However, I wanted to try the other on the way home. It was great as well! The fresh juices are amazing! I loved the Monterey club as well! The avocado gave it a different flavor, but I would surely grab it again! This was my first time trying different things on the menu, I wasn't disappointed!!!! Looking forward to trying other menu items!!! read more

I always know where I can find a delicious meal that doesn't leave me feeling sluggish. The entrance was a bit disorienting since the front door was blocked and we had to walk past the outdoor seating. On the bright side, the staff makes everyone feel valued once you walk in. We were seated within thirty minutes on a Sunday afternoon and our server was patient and friendly! My frittata was delicious and nutritious, and my salad had the perfect amount of dressing. The staff doesn't make you feel rushed at all, they just give you the bill and You can leave when you're ready. Overall, I had a great experience. read more

First Watch - Smoked Salmon and vegetable frittata - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

We have been to this location several times and always had a good experience. Today we got in line on their website and when we arrived the hostess were struggling with the volume of people. Despite several tables being open when we arrived they were too busy checking in arrivals to work on seating. We waited 15 minutes and the empty tables were still empty despite the number of people waiting. When our turn finally arrived we were shown to a two spot right next to the kitchen. When we asked to sit at an adjacent two spot that was also open instead, we were told we would have to get back in line and wait another 30 minutes. This was horrible customer service. We walked out and we will never eat there again. read more

I enteree the wait list online. Came into the establishment to check in and was taken to a table right away. The food came out quickly and hot. I've been to several First Watches and tend to get the same meals. I enjoyed the service and my meal. The patron noise was at a minimum and enjoyable. Ill return read more

Stopped in for breakfast with my father today. It's conveniently located in the Mills Run Shopping center near the Costco. It was a random rainy Tuesday morning so it was not crowded at all. I was able to get a spot right by the front door. There was not wait to be seated at all. This location has a coffee bar and some outdoor seating. Of course today the outside area was closed due to weather. The waitress came by and took our drink orders. She was very friendly and nice. After brining out some water and the coffee we ordered she took our drink orders. The food was ready pretty quickly. We both ordered the Trifecta breakfast from the favorites section of their menu. It comes with two eggs made to order, a waffle or pancake, and your choice of breakfast meat. We both had the waffle but I went with the chicken sausage patties while my father selected the bacon. Food was good. The waffles were not as firm or crunchy as I would prefer but overall it was good. Eggs and chicken sausage were good too. The prices are reasonable and the service was great. read more

I love getting my breakfast or brunch fix from here--whether dining in or ordering delivery. Their omelets are always my go-to! My favorites are the Fall Harvest and the French Breakfast omelets. I also can't get enough of their fresh-pressed juices, especially the one with ginger--it's my top pick! The service is always friendly and accommodating, and I really appreciate the fast-casual dining experience they offer. I wouldn't recommend it for a very large group since there's usually a wait, but it's perfect for a breakfast date with friends or even a solo brunch moment. read more

Our 1st experience at First Watch. The place was clean and the staff friendly. The menu surprised me and I expected the standard breakfast fare. Lots of healthy options. We started with a Kale Tonic Juice, great apple and cucumber flavor. For breakfast I got farm stand tacos, pico on the side. Scrambled egg, chorizo, cheese and Cajun chicken with avocado. It worked and with the side of black beans I was set. My wife went with the Healthy Turkey Omelette, egg whites, turkey, spinach, onions and feta. Not your usual combos but they both worked. You pay by QR code at the table or at the door. We'll be back soon. read more

After having been sick with intense nausea and a lingering migraine since Wednesday of last week, getting out to enjoy this scrumptious meal was amazing! Everything was fresh, yummy, and more than enough. This First Watch location is a bit small for the volume of business they receive, but consistently, staff to include management and our server, Tiffany was great! Because the morning motivation is made with ginger and other deliciousness, the ginger quickly settled my stomach. Upon leaving and knowing I couldn't ever recreate the dish the way it was made there, I stopped by the grocery store and purchased chicken sausage and avocado along with the artisan bread to make the toast. Since being home, I've eaten off this dish twice more. I'll definitely be back to visit again soon!! read more

We went to eat here on Juneteenth and they were packed. I used the mobile app and joined the waitlist, then checked in once I got there. It was only about a 20 minute wait. They texted me when our table was ready. The food came out fairly quick and was yummy. The coffee was good too. Hubby had the watermelon drink which was very refreshing. The only issue we had was that the waitress never came back once we got our food to check on us, ask if we needed drink refills. We actually had to flag down another waitress to ask for a box and the check. Meanwhile, we could see our waitress standing around behind the scenes. Not sure what that was about. read more

My second visit to this location in a Tuesday morning found it empty. I started as the only one customer and I'm not mad about that. Upbeat Music played in the background. Food came out quickly. Slowly customers trickled in. The BEC was tasty, spicy, and arrived stuffed with egg, bacon, cheese, peppers, arugula and sauce between toasted buttery sourdough bread. The heat from the spicy sauce sat nicely on my tongue. If you don't like spicy, this would be better served to you without the sauce. On the side was a lightly dressed green salad. My server asked if I was ok with it and I said yes, but I could have done without it. read more

Atmosphere This cafe had a modern rustic look and it was accompanied by fitting music that wasn't super loud. The noise level inside the establishment was decent as you could still hear the music and other people around but still enjoy your own conversation. The inside was well lit as it had a lot of windows to let in natural lighting. There was plenty of varied types of seating offered as there was bar, booth, table with chairs, and outdoor seating available. The service was good as we were seated immediately and checked on throughout our meal a fair amount. Food Biscuit and turkey gravy 7/10 This was a side order that consisted of a big fluffy biscuit that was covered in plenty of turkey gravy. It had plenty of turkey sausage bits in the gravy but the gravy was very peppery for my taste. Honey chipotle chick hash 8.5/10 This entree can be found on their fall menu. It was a well seasoned entree and it included a variety of vegetables and fluffy scrambled eggs. You could taste the honey chipotle flavor on the chicken, however, there were not a lot of chicken pieces found throughout the dish. Besides that note, it was a very filling entree. Tri-fecta 9/10 This was an entree found on their original menu. You can personalize this dish in many ways but I got a belgian waffle, two over easy eggs, and bacon. The waffle was topped with a huge scoop of butter and served with a warm berry compote, which was absolutely delicious, and an additional bottle of warmed maple syrup. The waffle was light and fluffy and the eggs and bacon were well cooked. My only wish was that there was an option to get an addition waffle for a deal as I would've loved another waffle to enjoy both the maple syrup and warm berry compote more. read more

First Watch - 11'11'2024 Breakfast !! Fresh Seasoned Potatoes, Hardwood Smoked Bacon, and Trifecta. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

We were a large party that decided to stop by here before an event. We made sure to put ourselves on the waitlist and also called ahead. When we arrived, there was some confusion about us ever calling ahead for a bit but was able to sort it out. The place is clean and bright and looks similar to other First Watch locations. We ordered some sandwiches, pancakes and kids ordered some pancakes and grilled cheese with hot chocolates. I didn't really enjoy my BLTE sandwich but did enjoy my tomato bisque soup. And others seemed to enjoy their food as well. Being a large group, I think our server did a great job in taking the order, bringing it out and getting us out the door in time. read more

I recently visited the new First Watch in Owings Mills, MD, and was thoroughly blown away. Years ago, I tried a neighboring location and walked away disappointed by lukewarm food and mixed-up orders, despite decent service. This new location completely redeemed the brand. The Owings Mills team executed everything flawlessly: superior customer service, prompt delivery, and outstanding, well-seasoned, piping-hot food. As a longtime local resident, I can confidently say this restaurant is a fantastic credit to our community that adds real value to the neighborhood. If you want a reasonably priced, delicious brunch, I highly recommend First Watch of Owings Mills! read more

A new First Watch opened in Owings Mills! The staff were attentive & friendly, the food came fast, and the check came quickly (pay when you are ready by QR or at the register) Mint Mocha Iced Coffee Carrot Cake & Pecan Pancake Million Dollar Potatoes It is very sunny first thing in the morning, I hope they end up getting some blinds or shades. It makes the middle 4-6 tables unusable. read more

Great menu. So much to choose from. Only have been once, but plan on going back. Make sure you request the "Club" Toasted. They brought it out untoasted. Never in my life had to specify toasted (since toasted is the rule, not the exception). Club was still good, but could have been better, and I rarely send my food back. read more

This was my second visit to First Watch. My first time was at the Timonium location but it was smashed into a 1 hour lunch break so I didn't have time to take the entire experience in. This location is super close to my home (woo hoo) and recently opened. I decided to treat my Sidekick to breakfast on a crisp Saturday morning. They open at 7:00AM, we got in around 8AM. A few people spread out at various tables but not crowded. Kim was our waitress, very attentive. We ordered the Farmhouse Skillet Hash subbed the bacon for turkey sausage. Very tasty! I ordered a side of cheesy grits which looked better than it tasted, needed some salt to jazz it up, was a tad bit bland on first taste. We also got a very fresh tasting Morning Meditation drink which was surprisingly good. I'm not a fan of ginger but it was palatable. The restaurant was clean and the service was good. Our food was great and I plan to have plenty more breakfast dates here. Welcome to the neighborhood and thanks for bringing some local freshness to our neighborhood. read more

My visit to the new First Watchnin Owings Mill disappointed me. My issue was not my food--my Traditional Breakfast was very good--but the service. It took an extremely long time for the food to arrive after my order was placed. It took almost 30 minutes to get eggs, bacon, and toast. I know this store has only been open for two weeks, but my experience was so different from what I am used to from First Watch. The ambiance was good. There are lots of people enjoying their meals. I will give them another chance, but probably not until after the holidays. Until then, I am going back to the Pikesville franchise. read more

First Watch - Hey First Watch, you may want to check your sign. The city is call Owings Mill, no "s." - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Owings Mills, Maryland

New location! Stopped in for brunch with a girlfriend and it was busy! I expect it will be this way for a while with it being a new location and such close proximity to all the stores there. It was Sunday early afternoon around noonish so there was a wait; about 40ish minutes. They have a high top area that's first come for seating and then outside seating which we didn't know until after we sat at the high top that it's heated by heat lamps! It was a little chilly but we definitely would've sat outside, had we known that. Server was super polite. I did not catch her name but our food came out quick and hot! I absolutely love the purple haze which is like a lavender lemonade. It's topped with a lavender tea and is simply heavenly. No alcohol is served at this establishment, yet so it seems like that may be to come! Enjoyed our visit and will visit again in the future. read more

I'm glad to have a "grown up iHop" nearby. The service was great, food was served up hot and fast, and our coffees stayed filled. We'll be adding this to our girls brunch meet up and after church options. The location isn't great, as it was built in a pretty overly-congested area as (good luck fighting Costco gas traffic on a Sunday to get parking). read more

Too big too soon. The food was soo good a few years ago at the pikesville location. Dining in right now at the new Owings Mills location. The place looks nice but no excuse for cold toast twice except they make it then serve it all day. Can't get eggs right. Menu not clear about what is on the particular selection.

Arrived after 10am, party of two, restaurant was not crowded. We were seated beside the kitchen and waited 25min before realizing no one had approached us yet. I politely went to host, he politely apologized and the waitress and a gentleman (who appeared to be the manager), quickly appeared, apologized and started our order. We were polite as well because we were having a leisurely day. Waitress appeared to be new. I ordered a BLT and requested my bread toasted well done. Sandwich arrived with bread untoasted upon arrival. Requested bread be toasted. Waitress stated, "Do you want them to remake the sandwich?" I replied, "I want my bread toasted as requested please." Sandwich returned with the top toasted...but when you turned the sandwich over it was not toasted at all. No one ever came back to check if food was okay. The gentleman that appeared to be a manager, went to several tables to check on patrons but seemed to avoid our table. Had he been so kind and /or polite to check on us I would have politely and discreetly discussed my concerns with him, rather than on a public site. Several times we attempted to get his attention and he blatantly ignored it. I went out of my way to get his attention regarding a spill on the floor to which he said nothing.... I was well mannered enough to say, "You are welcome." Noted several patrons returning BLT to get bread toasted. If you take the time to "TALK" to customer's while they are in your restaurant you build "GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS" and find what is working and what is not. read more

Best of the Best. We're really fans of First Watch. We've been to Pikesville, MD and Pompano Beach FL ++ . Without a doubt, this location is outstanding on service, menu, size, friendliness and even has outside seating! Our meals came quickly and hot. I had the smoked salmon fritata and my husband had a healthy quinoa bowl. We both loved them. Also, one of my favorites is the Avocato Toast. Pancakes and French toast are worth trying. It's a must try. ENJOY (-; read more

I frequently patronize another First Watch on York Road. Ambiance is pleasant, service is outstanding, and so is the food. The new First Watch in Owings Mills was a disappointment. Too many people waiting for a seat by the front door. Despite being on the waitlist still had a 30 min. wait. My sandwich could not compare to the on York Road. A friend on my table had to send meal back because she got hard boiled eggs and should have gotten soft boiled eggs. The noise level was high. Evidently the patrons did not learn the lesson to speak in a moderate voice. Instead there was much yelling and hollering going on. I won't be going back there. read more
