Mac Haik Restaurant Group

Redefining Dining, Creating Lasting Impact

At Mac Haik Restaurant Group (MHRG), we are dedicated to creating and growing exceptional restaurant concepts driven by integrity, quality, and a people-first culture. With a focus on high-quality ingredients, outstanding service, and strategic growth, we deliver memorable dining experiences while fostering opportunities for our team and strong results for stakeholders.

A Legacy of Growth & Innovation

MHRG began with The Egg & I Restaurants, later acquired by First Watch. Today, our expanding portfolio includes:

✔ First Watch Daytime Café – Franchise ownership of the beloved breakfast and brunch concept
✔ Slapfish – Full ownership of the modern seafood brand
✔ ChopShop & Due’ Cucina – Strategic investments in fresh, innovative dining experiences

Continuing our commitment to culinary excellence and innovation, MHRG is developing a full-service American restaurant, a coffee shop, and a New York-style deli—further expanding our presence in the industry.

Coming Soon to Houston’s Energy Corridor – 2025

MHRG is expanding with the launch of a full-service dining restaurant and a coffee bar in Houston’s Energy Corridor. These new concepts will bring our signature commitment to quality, hospitality, and innovation to one of the city’s most vibrant dining destinations.

Join us on our journey

FIRST WATCH

First Watch specializes in award-winning, made to order Breakfast, Brunch, and Lunch. First Watch locations begin each morning at the crack of dawn, slicing fresh fruits and vegetables, baking muffins and whipping up our French toast batter from scratch. Everything is made to order and freshness is never compromised. First Watch does not use heat lamps or deep fryers but only the finest ingredients possible for the freshest taste around. When you arrive, we welcome you with a pot, not just a cup, of our Project Sunrise coffee, along with complimentary WiFi Internet access.
