    4/17/2023 Stopped by for breakfast with family before heading back north to home and hearth. I had the biscuit and gravy, which I enjoyed. The server was cordial and personable. The service was speedy and the restaurant was clean. We sat around a short while after eating before going our separate ways. The staff didn't seem to mind and there wasn't a line waiting for a table. Four 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

    Know that there will be a wait if you go on a weekend during breakfast/brunch hours, so mentally prepare your mind and stomach for that. Though cool thing, if you have a small group they have a community table that is open seating on a first come, first serve basis. So if there seats open, no wait. The food was good enough, the butter on the waffles is cinnamon butter. The coffee pot coffee is a litte water down if you’re a picky coffee drinker. The ice latte isn’t too bad. The mimosa, they give you a champagne shooter and a glass of OJ, if you like less OJ, drink it down then pour your champagne. I would recommend going. Great atmosphere and aesthetics. Friendly staff.

    Went to FW Sunday 4/16 around 10:30 am. People were waiting outside and we were told it was a 20 minute wait. It only took about 10 minutes and we were seated. We ordered the works and bacado omelette and fried potatoes. One of the orders came back with salad but we didn’t say anything. Regardless the food was great.

    I tell you. Go to Missouri and the people are more happier then people in CA. Good breakfast food. Waitress wasn't very attentive to our condiments and filling our coffee up again. But, she was friendly.

    This place was wonderful! From the moment we walked in, the smiling faces, our waiter Parker, the food and the atmosphere were all a hit. Our waiter was very informative with the menu, and gave recommendations for other places to enjoy while we're here for the weekend. I had the Farmhouse hash, and hubby had the french toast, the food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend!

    Great country-style breakfast food, service, and atmosphere. Will definitely eat here again.

    We came for breakfast for the first time and we liked everything. Although almost all the places were occupied, our breakfast was brought very quickly. It was incredibly delicious. When we came here for breakfast the second time (closer to closing) the waiters were tired and inattentive. My husband ordered juice which was never brought to him, but was included in the bill. But again, the food was delicious, and the waiters are friendly. So, I think you can come here because of the delicious breakfasts.

    It's First Watch! I've yet to hear anyone NOT enjoy a visit to any of these locations. If you want to have breakfast from a "chain establishment", First Watch is off that chain..... First of all, coffee done right! An actual mug that fits your hand, with a carafe at your table, ready for a piping hot top up at your command! The food..... well, it's always fabulous. You get a bit a fresh fruit, and a meal that is colorful, inviting, and it will likely satisfy your taste buds and tummy! It's truly a place that you can order anything and it's going to be a great meal! Weekends, you gotta get there before 8am if you don't want to wait. Though I don't mind waiting a bit for exceptional food at a price that is on level with any competitor, and you likely find the quality a cut above the rest.

    I ordered lemon mixed greens and white chicken chili to go. There was maybe a 1/2 cup of lettuce, no lemon, and only 1/2 of the bowl was filled with chili. I paid full price for half the food. Check your to-go order before you leave the restaurant. They won't answer the phone.

    Very well staffed establishment. Parking was good. Clean bathroom and floors. Food was amazing and the serving size was perfect. Arrived at 11:30am and was seated within 5 min. Very exceptional service!

  • 4/5 Sasha M. 1 year ago on Google
    Just received my food.. time experiencing this place to actually eat myself! I'll come back with an update. Waited in line for forever!! To pay because they have just one cashier to check everyone out. That's the only thing I'd change thus far.

  • 5/5 Rob S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was very good-surprisingly so, as I wasn't expecting such a selection of delicious food at what I thought what a "breakfast Cafe". To top it off, the server was super friendly!

  • 5/5 Rafael F. 1 year ago on Google
    We ended up at First Watch while spending a weekend In Kansas City. It was rather busy but we checked in online and were called rather quickly. The staff was obviously busy but once the server arrived, the service was very personal and great. We ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict, brisket quesadilla with eggs benedict, and fruit pancakes. Servings were adequate and the flavor was great. We will add this restaurant to our list of places to return. (When we can't find a new place to explore)

    This is one of my favorite places. Have been here dozens of times and tried several items on the menu. Eggs are always cooked just right, their meat is wonderful and full of flavor and their pastry foods are delicious. Today my meal took a bit longer than the rest of our table to come out and the gave me a free blueberry muffin for the wait. Very kind and good workers. Makes sure to try a juice when you come and one of my personal favorites the pesto chicken bowl.

    11-27-21, Eggs Benedict today at the north Kansas City address was disappointing. The ham was as cold as the sliced tomato layer. Unfortunately the eggs became cold as well. In the past I remember the ham was thin but lightly grilled to heat the ham layer. The eggs were runny, but cold, and the hollandaise was warm, and refreshingly light with a hint of lemon. The potatoes were good, not over cooked, and were wonderful when dipped into the extra hollandaise. I ate at the bar and the service was quick and attentive. 11:30am Saturday was busy.

    Great Experience. Relaxing Atmosphere. Friendly Staff. Always Busy. Prices are high IMO for what you get. Tasty Food. Well Seasoned. The Muffin was ok.

  • 5/5 Renee R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is really a wonderful place. This is a business trip for me and after four weeks of being in Kansas, this is my favorite.... Alyssa is the best waitress ever... She was very attentive to my needs.. Nice atmosphere and this manager took great care of me. My food was not hot enough for my taste and I asked him to just warm it up a little. He state no, that's not the way we do things.... Mimosa was awesome... Please support this restaurant...

    The quality of food from first watch as a whole is declining. I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting food delivered from an app or what but it’s kinda ridiculous to spend $12 on 3 little burnt pieces of bacon. This sandwich should come with a minimum of 6 slices of bacon! It’s called a Blte emphasis on B. And that is not $4 worth of potatoes. Maybe I’ll use the one on Westport Rd going forward.

    A very consistent experience no matter which location First Watch delivers every time! High end product served by a friendly staff in a fun environment. Easy to find with tons of parking behind the building. Every thing was excellent, I like the way first watch leaves the jug of water and pitcher of coffee on the table so I never run out. The staff are consistently helpful and friendly they seem like they enjoy their work and are happy to help. Highly recommend
