Wait was a bit long, but that's to be expected for brunch on the weekend. The food was good. Had Tri-fecta breakfast with bacon and eggs with cheese. Would have been perfect, but the eggs were cold and the cheese was melted on top, instead of in the eggs. Has to get a reorder of eggs, came out same as first order, smh. Also had Carne Asada Hash. The dish was good, but again cold. The servers needs to be more attentive when the food comes out and not let it sit. Overall good food and good atmosphere, to be as packed and busy as it was.

This restaurant is always consistent with a good hearty meal. During this visit, I ordered a breakfast hash that came with chorizo and egg with potatoes and tortillas. I also got a side of their grits and the kale juice. Each item was absolutely delicious 10 out of 10. For reservations I do recommend if you're coming with three or more people that you try to be strategic and getting on the waitlist if you're coming with one other person I recommend just sitting at the family table. It's not that bad and you will have a quicker experience. The staff at this restaurant are always incredibly nice incredibly kind. The restaurant might appear to be busy on certain days, but I do recommend just planning ahead. It also can be a bit loud but it's a diner style restaurant so that is to be expected.

I came with the family and had a good time. The space is large with plenty of seating. But be prepared to wait becuase it always seems to be crowded when I come. There was 4 people in our party and we all thought the service from the wait staff was excellent. Everyone's food looked great and from the silence at the table obviously it was also delicious! I ordered the 2 breakfast tacos thinking it would be light...to my pleasure it was tasty and filling. The sprinkling of tain on the fruit was an excellent touch. Overall the food and atmosphere was great. I do recommend!!

The wait wasn't long for a Saturday brunch. Once we were seated the service was ok. It was busy. The food was good. I had the farmhouse hash with two poached eggs that were cooked well. My companion had a ham n cheese omelette that she asked for "soft" it was good but tight not soft. We both said we would go again.

Got brunch around 10am, perfect timing because there's no wait. By the time we left there was a long wait!! Ambiance was lively and busy for brunch. Food was yummy and our waitress accommodated well for a friend with a gluten allergy. Omelette was yummy especially with the potatoes. Just a nice brunch place for some simple breakfast items. Will have to come back to try other foods.

Fresh Watch is such a brunch vibe! The million dollar potatoes are to die for!!!! Cheesy grits, pancakes and season fruit! all amazing! The pancakes are huge, 2 would be more than enough! It was super busy..which is to be expected for a city favorite! Definitely would recommend making reservations. However, the staff was kind and did express apologies if the food took a little longer than expected. The food was well worth the wait!

I went to First Watch in Laurel for my dad's birthday and there was a bit of a wait. We waited 20 minutes. We were seated and our waitress, Catherine, came over right away. We knew what we wanted and were able to let her know. I ordered the turkey wrap with egg whites and spinach. The eggs were a bit runny. My parents seemed to have enjoyed their food. They didn't complain. First Watch reminds me of Kiki's in Kissimmee. I can't say I'll be back at this particular First Watch, maybe I'll try the one in Columbia.

This location is by far the biggest I've been to. Nice and spacious with a large waiting area. Definitely prefer this layout over the Glen Burnie and Columbia locations. While I didn't dine in, I could tell that the location was clean and ran efficiently. I ordered both the Purple Haze and the Farmhouse Hash. I ordered my meal prior to driving time the restaurant, but there was a short wait when I arrived. Also, my job isn't far from the restaurant, but was food was lukewarm when I ate it. Or maybe it's just better to eat in instead of carrying out. On any note, my food was fresh and tasty and the drink was amazing as always.
