    Came here for a work breakfast. Food was good and they let us reserve a room so we could have a meeting at the same time

    A couple things. First, there was an area of water damage on the ceiling with visible patches of what looks like black mold, in the area we were seated at. Makes you wonder how the kitchen is. The menu has lots of options, and they sound great. I can’t have onions (I like how they taste, but they cause me terrible stomach pain) so I asked for no onions with my order. It came out with lots of onions, after about 10 minutes trying to pick them out, I gave up and just had coffee. The waitress didn’t come back until she had our checks, I mentioned the onions and she made a comment about how “there shouldn’t be that many”. But to me it’s the principle of it. Oh well, lesson learned, if I come back here (big if), I’ll make sure to order something on the menu that doesn’t have onions, like the pancakes or French toast.

    My husband and I shared an order of the million dollar bacon which is my most favorite thing on the menu- it is sooooo goooood! He got the Bananas Foster French Toast and really liked it. He also got a side of the chicken apple sausage but it wasn't very flavorful. I got the Tropical Sunrise beverage and it was delicious. I got the grits and they had a very distinctive flavor unlike any other grits I've ever had but they were good.

    I believe our waitress's name was Paulina and she was fabulous. This place has AMAZING food, the service fantastic, did I mention the food is AMAZING. I had the TRADITIONAL Breakfast 2 eggs over medium., Potatoes and pork sausage links with toast. The jam (fresh and delicious) Mmmm hmmm! So flavorful. If you haven't been you MUST go! The environment is so welcoming. Best breakfast place I've ever been to in Omaha.

    This was our first time being here since it was the Egg and I. Service seemed hit or miss. Our waiter was the miss. DO NOT order the biscuits and gravy! Unless you like a biscuit drowning in chicken soup... Million dollar bacon was ok but the pancake was good. The wife liked her omelet. Their potatoes are really good. I'm not much of a breakfast potatoes person but they did have really good flavor. We like how they opened the place up. Don't know if we'll be back.

    We were in MI for a wedding and had breakfast Saturday & Sunday. Holly was our waitress both days (we requested her on Sunday), Holly is amazing! The food was yummy and quick, drinks were awesome!!! If we're ever in MI we'll definitely be back!

    After fasting for a blood test, I was in need of a good breakfast. I went to this location and was seated immediately even though they were busy. Coffee and water were brought quickly. My order was taken and within 5 minutes my piping hot “Farmhouse Hash” was brought to my table. It was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    If you are from out of town DO NOT COME HERE. It took over 2 hours for someone to come ask for our drinks. We just left at that point. We noticed others complaining about their food. Looks horrible. The ambiance is terrible and it looks horrible inside and the staff is rude and not welcoming. Lots of old people with nothing better to do, expect at least 3-4 hours to get your food here.

    Met up with my sister here on Monday morning around 10:30am, and there was a lot of seating available. The restaurant is very clean! For drinks, we each got charged for a bottomless coffee & drank waters. For food, we split the million dollar bacon strips & cinnamon spice churros, which are both worth their price! I also ordered a side of the biscuit & gravy, and the fresh, seasoned potatoes. I would’ve ordered a chicken fried steak if they had it on their menu, but ended up ordering more appetizers & sides instead to get the kind of meal I wanted. Including tip, we each spent just under $30 for our food & drinks. Even though it wasn’t super busy, it did take awhile to get our drink refills, even though our server was very friendly! I’d definitely come back to this location.

    I’ve been to two different First watch locations and the offerings are quite consistent in quality across the board. Most recent was to the 156th location for brunch. Other than the seasonal churros that seemed to have been thawed in microwave and quite mealy, the dishes were decent. This is a place which doesn’t offer much surprise either way. Still, pleasant dining area and waitstaff elevate it past other similar restaurants.

    It all starts with service. Our waiter claimed to have worked there for 10 years, but every time we ask for anything, he made us feel like we were bothering with a question he repeated 3 times "does anyone want anything else also while I am getting X ?" Atmosphere is usually good, but service like that downgrades it Presentation of the food was great.

    This was our second ever visit to a First Watch, we absolutely hated it after visiting the Leesburg, Virginia location. After hearing everyone out here talk about how it’s amazing out here, we gave them a second shot. Food was great and so was the atmosphere. Kids enjoyed their food, it was nice to get pancakes and eggs that were cooked all the way through. Only change I’d make or suggestion I’d have is that they have a crispy potatoes option and have them crisp it a bit better. We asked for crispy potatoes and they were cooked too high and they were more burned than crisped. Even with that, I’m giving them a higher rating between the 4/5 star divide. We’ll be back for sure.
