    Lemon ricotta Pancakes & seasoned potatoes
    Cindy R.

    First Watch redeemed themselves...Really though I believe it's all dependent on the location. The 290 location was slightly disappointing but Tomball definitely has a genuinely friendlier, calmer vibe. Lots of smiles. No rushing, even though we came pretty close to closing time food was hot and delicious. The greeter even mentioned it was a super busy day but we were able to get seated right away and our server was also on top of everything with a big smile.

    I ordered the Bacado (bacon avocado omelette)
    Kat L.

    Had a delicious brunch at this location with my daughter. She surprised me and said I will love this place and that everything they serve here is "yummy" and it surely was. The staff were friendly and making sure we had everything. The food didn't take long to arrive and even though it was a busy hour everything was great! Ambiance was good and it wasn't too loud that we can't hear each other. Overall experience was great and I recommend this place

    Chorizo omelet
    Stephanie B.

    We came in for breakfast for one in our party before he headed to the airport. The large restaurant has lots of indoor seating, and we were seated immediately. It is basically a large modern diner. The staff is very friendly. The food is pretty disappointing. The GF toast arrived crisp but cold. The chorizo omelet was tasty but the accompanying greens had not a drop of dressing (despite the lemon vinaigrette promised in the menu). Quality means serving dressed greens as promised and warm toast. Needless to say, we did not return for the duration of our visit despite its proximity. A clean restaurant with friendly servers does not come over such basic food defects.

    Roast beef and havarti on Asiago sourdough with a tangy horseradish sauce and side of tomato basil soup.

    Hit up first watch Tomball this morning for a tasty breakfast after dropping the dog off at the vet for surgery. We needed some comfort food and first watch did not disappoint. I tried to keep it on the semi healthy side with avocado toast and poached eggs with a bow of tomato basil soup. The avocado toast came out on thick multigrain bread with a generous amount of chunky, fresh avocado; I gave it a sprinkle of S&P and some cholula hot sauce (if you aren't putting hot sauce on your avocado toast you are missing out) and ultimately had to break those perfectly poached runny eggs over top. So good! The tomato basil soup was also tasty although not mind blowing and gave me some wicked heartburn later lol (my fault, not theirs!). My son had the pick 2 combo and he chose the roast beef and havarti sandwich with tomato basil soup. I want to say the sandwich was on toasted Asiago sourdough with a generous amount of roast beef, havarti cheese and a super tasty horseradish sauce (could have been an aioli but I didn't read the menu); I could have easily eaten a whole one of those. Service was friendly and prompt. I would definitely go back after todays experience.

    Chocolate chip pancake
    Cassandra S.

    I am a huge fan of First Watch. I can always expect a tasty meal here with soft family surroundings. The pancakes are huge and tasty. The toast and potatoes are pretty good too. The lack of a star is due to the somewhat slow service at times. Also, I always ask for my bacon to be soft and chewy rather than crispy, and they rarely deliver on the multiple occasions I have been here.

    This is my son.  He really loves pancakes.

I tried a breakfast taco without eggs or meat; it was decent, but next time I'll try with the shredded hash browns instead of home fries. The toast and sweet tea were both good, although the tea could be a bit sweeter . Vegetarian and vegan options are limited, and there's only one fryer, so be mindful of cross-contamination. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and will definitely return!

This pancake was bigger than my face, and was one of the best I've had in a long time. It was light and fluffy, and had a nice crisp to the top of it as well.

I also had some of their breakfast sausage, which was soooo good, and great to get a two bite in one with the pancake and sausage together!!! I also opted to get the chicken avocado club. The bread was toasted beautifully, there was lots of bread with the meal, so I ended up taking out the middle bread piece. The bacon was perfectly crispy, chicken grilled nicely, the only thing I wanted more of was avocado, didn't seem to be on 2 of my 4 slices. The fries were super hot, fresh, and crispy.

Hostess pointed to an area and said to help myself to a table. It took her 10 mins to bring me a menu. 15 mins after that, my server sat at the counter then looked surprised that I was even here and took my order. It took 30 mins for pot roast and onion rings. Another server dropped off my meal 30+ mins ago and nobody has come back to check up on me. I wonder how long it will take to get the check. The food is pretty average (I am from NJ so I know what diner food should be like) The service might be the worst ever! I have had better service at Burger King.

Pet Peeve 2 all the prices rang up a dollar or two higher than the menu prices. (Soup and sandwich menu price 13 rang up 15) I understand inflation is a thing but if you're going to raise prices, go ahead and hit print on some new menus. It's a short menu, it's only two pages long. Second fact, prepare to wait. Maybe one chef back there hand wrangling each burger or sandwich by hand. Third fact there's about six tables with comfortable chairs and the rest have hard plastic chairs. so if you are coming at a busy time, you aren't going to have a padded seat. Countering these irritations is the fact that the food is actually really really good. It is simple fare, but really well done. The potato soup hovered just on the soup side of the line between potato soup and mashed potatoes, but had fresh crispy bacon and scallions added right before serving. The roast beef sandwich had sliced roast freshly from the oven just for this sandwich. So we got five star food but the rest of the package doesn't add up for me. I'm going to give it four.
