Houston brunch spot: First Watch Review
Houston has no shortage of brunch spots, but finding one that’s consistently good and easy to order from makes all the difference. We stopped by First Watch, and I ended up ordering the Market Hash. It was SOOO good. The dish is full of flavor and topped with goat cheese, which really brings everything together. I paired it with two over-easy eggs. I will definitely be back to order that again. If you’re someone who likes to look at photos before ordering (same), their online menu is super helpful because it shows what everything actually looks like. Definitely a solid brunch option in the Houston area. @hollyinhouston First Watch 😋…
