First Watch 1620 Research Forest Drive, The Woodlands, TX 77381

"First Watch is a really great place for a healthy breakfast! Based on other's reviews, we came here and really enjoyed a nice breakfast, even though it was super busy! Their menu offers many options for meals that are all health-conscious ingredients and recipes. A great choice for any diner looking for a great breakfast! The restaurant was pretty full on arrival, however they were able to seat us rather quickly. The dining area is very clean, modern and a little bit hipster. It's not too loud and it's a great place whether you're a small party or you need to bring a large family with kids. The noise is not too loud and there's plenty of seating. After reviewing the menu (with many great options) we decided on the following breakfast s: the traditional breakfast, the Belgian waffles and the pancake breakfast. *All of the waffles and pancakes are made with a healthy grain flour but no big chunks of oats or anything like that to remind you that you're eating healthy. The traditional breakfast is the most popular offering your standard eggs, bacon, seasoned potatoes and toast. The eggs were fresh tasting and not too dry or too wet. The bacon was delicious, thick and seasoned well as well as the potatoes. The toast served with that breakfast is a hearty grain and really delicious! The pancakes were quite large and fluffy and made just right. The eggs were Sunny Side Up along with the delicious bacon. *A big bonus was that the pancakes are up is served warm, so you won't be chilling out your pancakes anytime soon. The waffles were a cinnamon waffle which tasted a lot like a churro and those were deliciously fluffy and crispy as a classic waffle should be. The coffee was fresh brewed and not bitter. The staff here was wonderful, very attentive and very personable. We really enjoyed our waitress who had a friendly attitude, even though they were super busy. The tables were kept clean/not sticky, and the silverware was spotless. I love the dining area decor with the painted panel doors suspended from the ceiling that gave it a modern but farmhouse style look of decor. I definitely give First Watch two BIG thumbs up and five big stars! Everything is just perfect here, from the quality, ample portions of food, the great staff service and the overall ambiance of the restaurant. This is a really enjoyable place to get a good breakfast with a big smile!"

"Today, we had another opportunity to enjoy a meal at First Watch and it was delicious!!! We even purchased their book of recipes!!! We live a few hours away so whenever we get a chance we love to visit and have our favorite meal and drink! It’s always fresh and great tasting with friendly service! Blueberry Pancakes and Million Dollar bacon are my FAV!"

"I had the french toast and it was soo good along with the eggs and chicken sausage. The atmosphere was warming and friendly. Server was nice and attentive. Will come back to this location."

"My absolute fav breakfast stop! The food is so fresh and their recipies are to die for! They always have fun seasonal drinks and change up their hash recipes seasonally too. This location is super busy and always full, but I’ve never had to wait to be seated. The atmosphere is so cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend!"

"This was my first visit to First Watch, my husband had already been, but to another location. I tried the Healthy Turkey egg white omelette and was very impressed. It was great! Perfectly cooked and not indulgent, but very tasty. A little hit sauce took it up a notch. The thick homemade bread was hearty and delicious. The preserves were also excellent! My husband ordered The Traditional. It also came with the bread and preserves and plenty of bacon to share a couple of pieces with me. The potatoes were, hands down, the best ones we've had around The Woodlands. Crispy outside with a pillowy center, they didn't need any assistance from ketchup or hot sauce. The Iced Coffee was a little too creamy for me. I think I'll try the Cold Brew Coffee next time and just add my own milk."
