★★★★★ 5.0 Prayag Shah · Dec 2025

We had a wonderful experience at the First Watch Gaithersburg location! Despite it being a very busy day right after Christmas, both the food and service were absolutely on point. We tried the Honey Caramel Crunch and Tangerine Dream drinks—both refreshing and delicious. Our food order included the Belgian Waffle, Breakfast Tacos (minus the eggs), Market Veggie, and the Million Dollar Potatoes, and everything was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. The staff handled the crowd efficiently and remained friendly and attentive throughout, which really stood out. Overall, a fantastic brunch experience. The only suggestion would be to see a few more vegan options added to the menu in the future. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

We've loved eating at first watch. This one in Gaithersburg is equally good. Expect a slightly lower quality in food and service on Saturdays breakfast, brunch, lunch times! I love love love their skillet hash but over the weekends I only usually get potato and eggs. Kids live the pancakes and waffles here. Overall it's good food for your buck, but if avoid Saturdays

Visited here on Valentine's Day. Over an hour wait but worth it! Service was quick, server very nice! Food presentation was lovely and food was delicious. This place never dissapoints!

★★★★★ 5.0 NATARSHA Gaither · Sep 2025

This was the first time visiting a First watch location. I had heard a lot of good things so we decided to try it out. I do have to say the food did not disappoint. Fresh, fast service! We did have to wait a bit for someone to come to take drink and food order but they were so busy. Once our server (JOSSY) came she gave outstanding service! I'd definitely come back.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Vasili P. · Sep 2025

The restaurant was accommodating for our really large party of 15 people. The server was attentive to the best of her ability during the busy hours of a Saturday Brunch. The food was good. Not mind blowing for its cost, but manageable for a sit down place. Some in our party had slightly lower satisfaction with their food, but I think we were generally happy with the experience. Not a bad place to go to for brunch.
