    Food was yummy, service was good and the place was cute & clean. I would say though when we had to pay, they were doing this new thing with payment. Where you pay through the QR code and you have to put your card info in... that was excessive.

    They have some of the best hot chocolate around.

    We have visited two locations of this restaurant and both times food has been delicious and the vibe of the place was chill and upbeat. Neither place had TVs but had music playing. The drink options are very unique and worth trying. Spiked lavender lemonade was so smooth and yummy, I tried to recreate it and was no where near the same flavor. One time I got the chimichurri steak breakfast bowl, has lots of flavors that mix ver y well together. The other time I got the ham and guyuer sandwich and half a salad. Would definitely order that again. Both plates were plenty for me to take home and have leftovers later.

    Been here a couple times already, all times, the food and ambiance have been great! This location is clean and spacious enough to seat many families. Whenever we come, we have been immediately sat without wait. I will say.. they need more servers here. The service is ok ... when they get to you. Because each server has so many tables to attend to, it's "slow". The food does come faster than the time it takes someone to get your order and prep the table. Servers there are hit and miss .... some have been so busy they don't really come back to refill water.. Some are nice. Ordered a BLT Eggs Benedict this time and it was delish! the lemon dressing on the arugula.. *chefs kiss*. The hollandaise sauce makes the eggs benedict for sure!! delicious.

    Quieter location of first watch. Don't skip out on their juices. Great standard breakfast. Won't disappoint.

    Our sever was really amazing and great at her job! The ambiance has a great rustic vibe that I'm absolutely loving and enjoying! I had gotten the breakfast tacos and oh my goodness it was so delicious I almost wanted a second plate just for the tacos! Would come back again for sure!

    Our server Jackie was amazing She took great care of me and my wife she made the whole experience enjoyable. She was friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Even though the restaurant itself has some areas it could improve (like wait times and no Louisiana Hot Sauce, which I wish they had), Jackie really made the visit worth it. If you come here, ask for Jackie she'll make sure you're taken care of

    Million dollar sandwich

    We tried Gingerbread spice donuts at First Watch. Oh my goodness. If I were rich I'd have a chef who would have a bowl of these waiting for me every morning when I woke up. The short rib poutine was super flavorful. Tender meat and potatoes. The million dollar sandwich is legit. So big and full of all the goodness of a great breakfast.

    5 star......, 5 stars!?!?!?!?!?!?! Yes, 5 stars people! Its hard for me to give a perfect score but on this day, at this location, every single thing that mattered when going out to a restaurant was met. Customer service: Cleanliness: Attentiveness: Turn around time: Presentation: Quality and taste:

    Market hash 13.49
    Diana N.

    Market Skillet hash $13.49 - 2 eggs your way on top of potatoes with mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, baby spinach, melted Mozzarella and herbed Goat cheese. Comes with toast and fruit. I got this bc i like the market veggie sandwich. Hash was pretty good. Lots of potatoes and veggies. Huge serving so I took half to go. Gingerbread spiced donut holes $5.99 - (holiday menu) comes with caramel toffee sauce & creme anglaise. These were good. Crispy on the outside, soft and cakey on the inside. Not too sweet. Came with about 12-13 donut holes so there were plenty. Took some to go. Sunny Seoul hash $13.99 - (holiday menu) shaved seared pork with kimchi, cheese, eggs, gochujang aioli. Bf enjoyed it,he struggled to finish it all. Regular coffee $3.69 - good typical house coffee. Kind of loud. Not sure if it's bc it's so open. Also I feel like the prices have increased. They used to be pretty reasonable, but now you're spending $14 for an entree (inflation everywhere though). Portions are generous at least.

    Chorizo scramble
    Ann P.

    We enjoyed our brunch here! Have been to the Sugar Land location and enjoyed their food as well. This was our first time at the Richmond location and overall felt the level of service and food to be comparable. We waited only a few minutes to be seated mid-morning on a Saturday. The waitress who seated us offered us coffee straight away which was much appreciated! Our orders were taken promptly. We tried their new menu items birria quesadillas, chorizo scramble, and a kids chocolate chip pancake and bacon strips. They have a really great variety on the menu savory and sweet alike so I think it's a good choice for w group brunch! Sure to find something for everyone here. Our food had over a 25 min wait and only 2 items were brought out at first. The waiter forgot the syrup for the pancakes and my birrria quesadilla w eggs took another 10 min to get to the table. The food was overall enjoyable however I felt the hollandaise sauce on my poached eggs over the birria did not complement the quesadillas well. There's almost a sweet taste to it which wasn't my favorite but wasn't bad. Would ask for it without sauce next time. I'd rate the meal a 6/10. The other 2 entrees especially the scramble were much better, bacon extremely salty tho. We paid at the counter and left satisfied. Would definitely return and recommend for a nice casual brunch!

    Food was delicious and service was fast and prompt! Will definitely recommend this place for a nice quick breakfast! Coffee, water and all was on point! Will return again when in Texas!

    WONDERFUL WAFFLE FANTASTIC FRIES…read more Saturday 1 pm. 30 minute wait. Place is small. Raining. Outside tables and bar seating is available right now. We wait. Menu is on a QR code on napkin box or u can ask for paper menu. ALOT of variety. Burrito, chicken and waffles, donuts, chicken wings, spam and eggs, bulgogi kimchi fries, country fried steak and more. Ordered 1. Ube Waffle- Warm, creamy, buttery, fresh waffle taste, delicious! Would order again and again 2. Bulgogi Kimchi fries- I was not expecting them to be this good as kimchi has a very strong fermented, acidic flavor. SO GOOD. There wasn't tons of kimchi on the fries, they have mayo and hosin sauce on them with cliantro and other stuff. did I say SO GOOD? Would order again and again as a shareable between friends. 3. Country Fried Steak, sunny side up eggs and cheesy hash- I did not expect it to be so tender. The pepper flavor hit me right away. The runny eggs with some hash on the fork, delicious combo. 4. Viet style Steak and eggs- My friend ordered it, it's his second time ordering. He loves it. It comes with a salad, dressing and two how u want'em eggs. The steak is marinated and tender. Service was fast. I had a mimosa, it wasn't too orangey or too champagney. I loved the glass it came it, stylish and tapered upwards. Would try a different drink next time. They have a lot of different drinks. Overall, the visit has me wanting more, especially hearing about their unique donuts. Already looking forward to next visit. Gonna try other things in the menu. The fries and waffle would be part of my final death row meal

Since it was cold that day, we waited near the outdoor heaters, which made the wait a bit more comfortable. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a private indoor dining room for larger groups. I'm not sure whether there's an additional fee to reserve the private room. There is plenty of seating overall, but this place is consistently busy, especially during weekend brunch. Given Houston's often extreme weather, I definitely prefer sitting indoors when possible. I almost always order the sausage and eggs over a bed of sweet potato tater tots. They are absolutely delicious! Not many restaurants serve sweet potato tater tots, so whenever I'm craving them, this is one of my go-to spots. Because of my food allergies, I asked for a side of maple syrup instead of their house sauces, and it paired surprisingly well with the tots. While their gluten free and dairy free options are somewhat limited, I was able to modify my meal by omitting the cheese. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, but the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed by how busy the restaurant was. As a result, service wasn't particularly attentive. If you visit during peak brunch hours, I would recommend coming with the expectation that the food is the highlight, while the service may be a bit slower due to the crowds.

Today I had the West Coast Bennie. I substituted their queso for the ranch that it's normally topped with, as Ranch just doesn't belong on a dish containing eggs! The queso was a good choice, but unfortunately the eggs were cooked way too long and the yolks were solid, rather than runny. I asked to have the dish remade, and they got it perfect! The cook even threw in a side of hash browns, which were excellent. (Hint: dribble some of their queso on the hash browns!) I ordered a single pancake on the side and it was huge! Their pancakes are excellent. Clarissa was my server and she did a fantastic job! She had no problem taking my order back to be redone, and she did a great job of checking up on me and keeping my coffee cup filled. The dining room and the restroom were both clean and inviting, and they had both the music and the air conditioning set at just the right levels. Overall a very pleasant experience and I'm pleased to give them five stars.
