    Farmhouse hash was amazing
    Yvonne V.

    The service was amazing. This restaurant was very busy but we were seated very quickly we were 5 adults and 1 baby. The food was hot and we all were served at once. The server was very nice and helpful. I would recommend this location. The ambiance wasn't great very clean.

    3/5 Stars - Mixed Visit - Great Fresh Juices, But Service and Atmosphere Fell Short: I stopped by First Watch for a casual lunch/brunch with a friend, and while some parts were enjoyable, others left me underwhelmed for the price point. Our waitress started off strong with excellent customer service--she was friendly, attentive when taking our order, and made a good first impression. However, after that, she disappeared and didn't check back on us at all. We had to flag down another employee when our food arrived because the order was completely wrong. Thankfully, they fixed it quickly once we pointed it out, and the corrected dishes came out fine. The fresh juices are definitely a highlight--I really enjoyed them and they're a big reason I'd consider returning. They're bright, flavorful, and feel genuinely fresh, which aligns with First Watch's focus on wholesome ingredients. On the downside, the restaurant itself needed some attention: the restroom wasn't clean, and the trash cans were overflowing, which isn't great for a place that emphasizes a fresh, inviting vibe. The music was also cranked up way too loud--I could barely hear the waitress (when she was around) or even talk to my lunch date without straining. It made the whole experience feel chaotic rather than relaxing. Overall, the food (once corrected) was solid, and those juices stand out, but between the service gaps, maintenance issues, and noise level, it didn't feel worth the higher price compared to similar spots like Panera or Jason's Deli, where I can get fresh options in a calmer, more consistent setting. I'd come back specifically for the juices on a quick grab-and-go, but for a full sit-down meal, I'd probably choose one of those alternatives instead.

    Food is good, seating is tight, wait staff is on top of it, what is severely off is parking! It's horrible! If I'm wasting more money in gas trying to find a parking spot so I'm not parking by Target, & walking across crazy intersections to come to an establishment...I may go eat elsewhere. But I was with family. So, I sucked it up. Yes, I parked in the Target parking area & walked back over because the entire parking area was packed. Was the food THAT good? Um. No. It was ok. Will I return? No. That annoyed me. The other thing was the seating was so close the chairs were bumping one another. The people seated bumped, the children, the adults, us, them - everyone. It wasn't intentional & no one got ugly. It was just extremely cramped. For no reason. There was room for the tables to be spread out. It was badly planned. I felt horrible for the staff on top of it all. That's all the gripe'able stuff. I got French toast & bacon with orange juice & coffee. My cousin's got chocolate chip pancakes with bacon, & the Trifecta, chocolate milk, coffee & water. All with a tip came out to $65. (Tip was $10.45) So I guess you can judge based on the price. Worth it? ‍ Again, I'm sure I won't be back. It was okay. Just in my opinion, kinda stupid expensive for what we got. Seems to be very popular with people my cousins age. 30 somethings.

    Shrimp & Grits
    Vanessa A.

    Omg I loooved the Cajun shrimp & grits. It was so perfect. The service was super accommodating since we asked for a different table and they let us move. Our waiter was on it! The place was clean and it wasn't packed on a Sunday morning like I thought it would be. There's not a lot of parking because it shares with a hotel and the pho house but there's plenty of parking across the street.

    Choose 2 Lunch special $11.99
    Lisa K.

    Morning of 4th of July we were a little worried we would have a wait.. thankfully we didn't! They got our party of 4 in right away. Everyone we came in touch with were very friendly. They do have a great menu. Lots of choices from a new Lemon Blueberry corn bread to Shrimp and Grits. Great lunch deal Choose 2 for $11.99 .. they have 5-6 1/2 sandwiches, 3-4 salads and 2 soups to choose from. I got the Roast beef with horseradish half sandwich- it was wonderful, stuffed to the brim, great touch melting cheese on outside of the bread. Also did the Honey Pecan chicken half salad with a light vinegar dressing. We all enjoyed our food. The issue was the dirty dishes. We were brought plates for the cornbread and mine still had food on it. Not just a little. My daughter's water cup had lip marks that were CLEAR.. someone with lipstick on had clearly used that glass. It made eating a little hard because every time something was brought out I would look at the plate or check the new cup to see if it was clean. The guy apologized but it didn't make that any better. Atmosphere was nice. Service good. Food was good but none of us ate much after seeing the dirty dishes and just worried. I don't see myself going back there. One dirty dish - mmm ... but a glass with clear lipstick marks... no.

    Been here several times now, by myself , with family and co-workers. It's a great place with lots of great food options. I have never been disappointed! Try their million dollar bacon! The waffle compote is delicious. And their options are always fresh! Coffee is pretty good too! Don't forget their special drink selection, you won't be disappointed, they are refreshing! Service is always quick, even if it takes a bit to be seated. You might wait about 30-60mins for a table. But they work pretty quickly. The environment is very friendly and clean!

    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy with a small mixed fruit
    Stephanie B.

    First time to this place and the portions are large and tasteful. The gravy on the biscuit has a smoked taste plus the biscuit was very large. Also the fruit was all good none of it was bitter or sour. I got the small but large bowl of fruit is the size of the soup bowl. The sandwich is very filling stuffed with turkey, bacon, and greens. The soup was hearty. Looking around the plates are large and will fill you up. I also got a Lavender drink with Amsterdam vodka that itself was good. They brought it in a separate glass container with a small glass of ice. I filled my small glass three times so worth it. The atmosphere was nice and calming for the morning/ brunch. I would return on another day.

    Market Hash
    Kathy L.

    Line is out the door but we were seated quickly. Their "lobby" is soo small and has two doors soo not many places to wait! Otherwise the waitress is nice and was fast and attentive. Food: I got a farm house hash and there was more hash (potatoes) than anything else. I think I seen 4 pieces of zucchini or mushroom but a lot of onion and potatoes. I was expecting a little more than just a taste of mushrooms or zucchini. Otherwise farmhouse vibes and cute decor. Very fast paced and quick to get you in and out

    Kids Bacon & Egg
    Gabriela G.

    Lacks attention to detail. Requested sourdough bread yet they gave me wheat. I also ordered the kids egg & bacon plate and paid extra to add an egg but it appeared as only one egg.

    Blazing Dragon Power Drink!
    Brian B.

    Wait time was about 20 min but what do you expect on a Saturday? Started with Blazing Dragon Power Drink : strawberry, lemon, cane sugar, and Dragon Fruit! Awesome! Salted Caramel Donut holes as an appetizer! YES PLEASE! Warm, sweet puffs of delight Farmhouse Skillet and an order of Breakfast tacos for me! Can't go wrong here. Everything is fresh and cooked to order.

    Farmhouse skillet

    Charming farmhouse vibes in the building. Nice selection of different juices. a better breakfast experience than your typical cafe. I mean they butter the toast for you what else could you ask for

    Trifecta but with two pancakes instead of one.
    Aaron R.

    Great food. Very filling. I had the trifecta with the blueberry pancake and chocolate pancake, over hard eggs and bacon. And let me tell you, the pancakes had crisp on the top. It was cooked very well. It wasn't soggy like other places I've been too. Definitely surpasses Cracker Barrel pancakes by far. The bacon was cooked crispy with a slight glaze of some sort. Haha off to the cook on that one. Now the eggs; I had them over hard and the eggs were very fluffy. Very different than the eggs I typically eat. Perhaps this is what real eggs taste like compared to store bought. The eggs had a high profile of like 10mm or so. The knife cuts well into the eggs making a distinct separation of how well these eggs were cooked. The atmosphere is chill. They had some indie pop music playing which is really nice. Our waitress was very kind when it came to ordering. She made some recommendations to hone down on what I really wanted. The pancakes are very filling that even I couldn't finish them and I typically have a large appetite. I highly recommend this place. This is place that I will continue to frequent because of how good the food was.

    Had a short stay in San Antonio and a group of us (5) decided on First Watch for breakfast, which I love in Houston. I must say this First watch from an ambiance and decor perspective is much nicer than anyone I've been to back home. The service was great and every employee had a smile to offer. Our waitress although she never offered her name was an absolute pleasure, she was extremely efficient with our request. I ordered the Smoked Salmon omelette which I was weary of because....uhm who puts fish in eggs? She assured me it was great. I bet to differ, The omelette was incredible, the egg was cooked fluffy but not runny and pair beautifully with the flavor and tenderness of the salmon. Every bite warrant a moan of appreciation for how amazing this dish was. This will be my go to breakfast order at first watch from now on.
