Feedback
A popular breakfast-and-brunch destination praised for attentive staff, clean bright dining rooms and polished presentations—standouts include shrimp and grits, banana crunch pancakes and million-dollar bacon. Regulars and travelers enjoy friendly service and a lively breakfast bar, but experiences vary: some report long waits, small portions and inconsistent kitchen quality (cold, overcooked or old ingredients). Management has shown responsiveness to feedback. Overall, a well-loved local spot with hit-or-miss execution during peak times.
The food at this restaurant was fantastic. The special cinnamon roll was absolutely amazing, even if it might lead to some sugar-related consequences! The ricotta pancakes were huge, topped with lemon curd and fresh strawberries. The only downside was that the wait time was nearly twice as long as we were initially told when we added our names to the list, and they don’t take reservations. Our server was friendly but seemed rushed, likely due to the number of people waiting since, again, there are no reservations. Despite the wait, I would definitely return because the food was worth it!
I am a regular at First Watch, and I consistently enjoy amazing service and delicious food. The staff always make me feel at home. One server I particularly appreciated was Jordan; he was incredibly polite and welcoming. I will definitely rate this place 5 stars!
My husband and I had a great time at First Watch in Bowie, MD. The food was on the point, the staff was very friendly, including the managers/owners on the front who checked for us and with whom we had a great conversation after our meal. The environment is very friendly and we will definitely try some of the other dishes again.
The food was absolutely delicious!! You must get one of the skillet dishes. I love how everything is made fresh and very unique. The juices in particular were very good! I?m definitely going back soon!
Food here was great. The special cinnamon roll was AMAZING and worth the possible diabetes. The ricotta pancakes were enormous and the lemon curd and fresh strawberries took it over the top. Only issue was the wait was almost double what we were told whenwe put our names on the list and they do not do reservations. The server was nice but seemed to be rushing us out, likelybecause there were others waiting, because again no reservations. I would absolutely return despite the having to wait. The foodwas worth it!
