First Watch in Annapolis is a top-tier spot for both breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is fresh, and the overall experience was excellent from start to finish.
Carlos was our server and he was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and fully dialed in. The food matched his level of service, which says a lot. Everything came out perfectly prepared and right on time.
If you go, absolutely try the Salmon Frittata and the Salmon Benny — both were amazing and packed with flavor. Easily some of the best brunch dishes I’ve had in a while.
Great food, great service, great experience. Highly recommend.

Great experience at First Watch. The food was fresh and delicious, especially the avocado toast and pancakes. The service was excellent — Marika was very friendly, attentive, and made the visit even better. I’ll definitely come back. Highly recommended

This was our first time here at First Watch and everything was amazing! The Smoked Salmon Benedict, lemon ricotta pancakes and lemon blueberry cornbread were absolutely delicious. The Morning Meditation drink was also fantastic. Staff and atmosphere were great.

I really wanted to try another restaurant that specializes in breakfast and brunch food… I was told by a few friends that I should try out First Watch…. it happened to be National Pancake Day when I went to eat at First Watch….. I was impressed with their menu choices and drink choices…
I ordered pancakes of course and my husband order biscuits and gravy- I was impressed….
Definitely, going back sometime in the future…
P.s. we sat outside which was really wonderful but I did wish that outside patio was a little but care for….

Great food. Great service. Gets busy after church. Lets out around noon on Sundays, but if you know that and avoid the rush, you get seated pretty quickly. A million dollar bacon is also really fantastic!

The food choices provide many unique items and twists on the ordinary. Service was very warm, welcoming and efficient. Cost was reasonable. Two of us had the Baja Turkey Burger which had a nice zip with the Horseradish sauce and was delish. The Belgium Waffle was big and looked good!

The service was good. It took a while for the wait person to help me after I was seated. However, after they showed up service was good. The food was my biggest disappointment. The eggs were luke warm/ cold. The turkey sausage was over cooked and dry. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the waffle was decent but cold and the mimosa was good. The atmosphere was good. Nice and bright natural light. Very clean and welcoming. The restrooms were clean and seemed ro be well kept.

Review: First Watch (Forest Drive – 11/17/25)
First Watch brought the heat—without even trying.
Jordan had the table locked in before we finished sitting down. Sweet teas hit the table full, stayed full. Straight Arnold Palmer action on tap, zero delay, zero bullshit.
Nick went classic with the Trad w/ Meat. Eggs, bacon, and crisp potatoes that actually had some char. None of that soggy diner sadness. And the Million Dollar Bacon? Sticky-sweet glaze with a cayenne slap. Lives up to the name—no lie.
I ordered the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash. Real talk? I’d eat that for dinner. It was cheesy, smoky, crispy, and had enough arugula to pretend it was healthy. Everything on that plate was working overtime. Felt like breakfast royalty.
Booth was clean. Service was tight. Food was fire. This wasn’t breakfast—it was first fire.
Would hit again. Next time: double down on the bacon.
