We really enjoyed our breakfast here. Our server Johana suggested their new item: crispy crunchy breakfast tacos...which were delicious!! Also the fruit salad with Tajin was delicious everything was perfectly ripe!! The million dollar bacon drew rave reviews from group...multigrain pancakes were ginormous. Oh wait...we tried the juices. Our fav was the Kale Tonic!!

Busy on weekends, book in advance online to avoid long waits I have been to First Watch in Laurel and this is my 1st time at this location. Friendly & helpful staff The food was just as good as the Laurel location. What ever they are doing continue to keep up the good job. Tip: you pay on the way out and complimentary coffee at entrance

When I first entered First Watch, I thought it had a very nice ambiance. It is a chain restaurant, so there is a minimum quality that I expect, but I don't expect to be blown away with anything special or unique. The menu is geared for breakfast and lunch (look at their hours), and it is a good size menu with enough variety to accommodate most tastes. I ordered the bisuits with turkey gravy, eggs and potatoes. The price was reasonable and the food was honestly really good. The biscuits were fluffy and the gravy was full of flavor. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The potatoes and eggs were both cooked well too. Our server was friendly and did not rush us. This is a very popular breakfast spot. It was pretty busy by around 930am when I was here. There was not a line, but most all of the tables were occupied at this time. So, if you wish to eat in, don't come too late.

Overall: great menu, healthy, filling, fresh, and balanced food, inconsistent service, with a cute, bright homey ambiance and single stall restrooms This is my favorite brunch place in Howard County, even though the food and service are pretty inconsistent. My go-to entree is the market hash, but I've also enjoyed many other dishes like their seasonal specials and their elevated egg sandwich. Their drinks are fun and the morning mediation is my favorite. I like that they have balanced kids meal options, their coffee is pretty good, and it's fun that they have seasonal specials. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is minimal and does not have quality furniture. They are packed most of the time, so we only try to go when it's really early. Even when it's not packed, sometimes service can be incredibly slow. I've had hair in my food on two separate occasions, which sucks, but I keep going back- so I don't know what that says about me and/or their food.
