My husband and I had a great time at First Watch in Bowie, MD. The food was on point, the staff were very friendly including the manager/owner at the front who checked on us and whom we had a great conversation with after our meal. The environment is very friendly and we will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes.

This place needs better management or something…. You try to order food via the app to make the process faster but the app is 90% down. Then when you place an order in the store they take forever. & the fact that they say they will call/text your phone when your order is ready is a lie. They had my order sitting on the counter for 20 min without letting me know. Then when i get my food they only give me a kids portion lol. This place has potential but its dropping

I was greeted upon waking in, seated a minute later and order taken promptly. Food was good and portions were great.

what a gem! Husband and I had a wonderful brunch today. despite a line of folks waiting to be sat we were at a table within 10-15 min. Hostess and waitress were friendly and food was fantastic. lots of healthy and decadent choices. fruit on french toast was fresh and bacon is next level. Clean and open seating with music at a low volume so folks can speak easily. this was our first time but wont be the last.

How do you get prompt service here? We are sitting here right now - have asked for coffee 3 times. We've been waiting for 45 minutes for our food. No mgr in sight. This is really REALLY bad service.

Oh sorry, I've never had that experience either. I hope you found a manager and you were made whole.

Don't come here unless you have nothing else to do. You will wait way to long and the quality of the food is poor. You might as well go to Rips, Bob Evans or IHOP. This place went from great to greatly sucks.

Disagree. There's an app that will allow you to request a table ahead of time. Sorry you had a bad experience. I was there this morning (before the rush), and my food was good.

Is there a private dining area? If so, how many does it seat? What are the procedures for reserving space?

I don't believe there is a private dining area.

What is the price average range please? I only ask because a customer left a review stating they paid $61 for breakfast. Thank you in advance.

It's possible to spend $61 for breakfast at McDonald's if you're willing, or if there are enough people in your party. First Watch is overpriced, but they aren't THAT overpriced. Go and get the lemon ricotta pancakes. Delicious.

If you download the first watch app, you can get a place in line and it will show you how long the expected wait is and what time u should get there.

I think you can. They have a private room that can be used or the can move tables together. I have seen some large groups here.
