Bryan brunch spot First Watch celebrated a decade in Aggieland July 15 after opening what was then the restaurant chain's first Texas location.
What's new?
The restaurant marked its 10-year anniversary celebration with a ribbon cutting hosted by the BCS Chamber of Commerce and attended by loyal customers and the community. Attendees were greeted with refreshments and a DJ.
According to First Watch officials, the Bryan location paved the way for the chain's expansion across Texas, which now includes 76 locations.
Chief Operating Officer Dan Anfinson called expanding into a market as big as Texas as a risk for the chain, but one that paid off.
"I'm elated to be here 10 years later and wish the best for the next 10 years," he said.
On the menu
First Watch serves made-to-order breakfast, brunch and lunch items, including sandwiches, tacos, bowls and its ever-popular avocado toast among others.
The full menu is available every day, 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.

Anfinson shared a story about former Dallas Cowboys running back Emmett Smith being a regular visitor at the Bryan location.
“Emmett Smith loves to shout us out any chance he gets,” Anfinson said. “He sits in the corner in the back and he’s always nice to customers who recognize him.”
