I have heard of First Watch plenty of times, but never had the chance to pay a visit. However I went to the Annapolis MD location and the breakfast food was very decent! Lots of choices, and very friendly staff! The interior is rustic, new and renovated! Nothing extraordinary, but a very decent breakfast place!!

Stopped for breakfast on a whim while passing through. Delicious sandwiches and pancake. Waitress was friendly and service was prompt. Very pleasant experience. Will visit again 🙂

I had some difficulty ordering online, but restaurant staff was more than helpful taking my order over the phone. The food was very good. Really enjoyed the morning meditation juice, market hash, and million dollar bacon. The biscuits & gravy was good, but pretty standard.

My family visited First Watch in Annapolis today for brunch. We had a party of six and we were celebrating my mom finishing her cancer treatments. Our server, Julie, was absolutely amazing. She was kind, attentive, and thoughtful. She wanted to treat my mom (even being thoughtful enough to offer to add a wellness shot to her juice) after hearing what we were celebrating, and was just a fantastic server all around. She took exceptional care of our party, making sure our food and drinks were delicious. Julie was great with the kids as well. The manager, Jonathan, was incredibly kind and generous. After hearing about our celebration, he actually came over to the table to ask how everything was and took care of our entire check, also giving us gift cards when we left. The kindness and generosity of the staff today was above and beyond. Julie and Jonathan were fantastic, and we will definitely be back!!

Finally got to visit the newly First Watch. I understand it’s a chain but I’ve never been to one.

It’s my first time to eat here but will not be the last. When we arrived at 10am, it was very busy but we didn’t have to wait that long to be seated. Our server- Jayson, is welcoming and pleasant. We ordered Belgian waffle that is so fluffy and nice. We also ordered the salad with beef sandwich. I enjoyed the salad with chicken and avocado. The dressing is good and it came with crispy toppings. The sandwich is also very tasty. I can’t wait to try the other items in the menu.

let’s start that we came for breakfast and we ended up having brunch! we waited ~1hr for our food to come out, restaurant didn’t seem at full capacity, since there were a couple of free tables, we were told that the kitchen was behind but 1 hr behind its too much, we noticed that other tables had the same problem; food is good but they need to resolve their waiting time due the kitchen being way behind.

Always delicious. I love all their hash breakfasts but love all their food. I got the delicious omelet and my husband got the breakfast burrito. Serving sizes are always large and always taste amazing. We tried the gingerbread donuts and I love that they have two sauces. They are absolutely delicious.
