I rarely eat out these days because it’s hard to find places that truly care about using quality ingredients, but this place blew me away! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The Million Dollar Bacon is incredible—perfectly cooked and so flavorful. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

We love first watch.

While it's technically a chain it feels far more upscale and personal than many other local options. They have unique rotating menu items and are known for their massive flavored pancakes.

I've had omelets, skillets, appetizers and pancakes here all with good reviews. Apps can sometimes be pricy but the general fare is of reasonable price to quality.

Wait times can very often on weekend mornings hitting 30+ minutes at peak hours but if your in the area it's worth stopping by.

Their current seasonal pumpkin pancake combo is great as is their breakfast sandwhich.

Parking: It's in a strip mall area so parking is plentiful all hours!

Nice clean restaurant near Deer Park. I went with a friend for brunch. I ordered the Tres Leches French Toast and it was delicious. I also had the millionaire bacon which was the best bacon I've ever had, if it would have come out hot it would have been perfect. Even so, still the best. I look forward to coming back soon.

Modern but comfortable, hostess smiling and welcoming, food (eggs, French toast, loaded potatoes, coffee) all excellent. Unfortunately, that's where the positive stuff ended. Our server was awful. Bad attitude, acted like we were an inconvenience to his day, never even checked on us after we got our order. Had to ask for more creamer and thought he forgot us. Bus boy finally came by and so we asked him for some. Guess the server overheard us because then he finally brought some over. Would like to go back someday and try some other food, but hesitant because of the lousy service.

The food was great, especially the quinoa bowl, my wife fell in love with it. The atmosphere was great, but the service could have been better; the server was not checking on us, she only checked one time and the energy she had was not very welcoming.

I ordered the shishito brisket bowl. There was one chunk of meat and little bits of meat. The food was good but I was disappointed.

Wonderful spot! Prices have remained extremely fair over the years and this has been our favorite location. Worth the wait on the weekends.

First time at first watch and it was busy! Service was good and food was pretty good. Everything was fresh and came out as described on the menu.

Second time here today and it was way off. Ordered the Trifecta breakfast and food was terrible. Eggs were over cooked, cold, and had been obviously sitting a long time.
Service was painfully slow. Eggs were remade per request but took a long time to come out. Had to find waiter to track down the check, he was cleaning the bar. Went to pay at cashier and she took care of someone ahead of us and literally walked away. No manager on duty today? First Watch = Last Choice. Won’t be back.
