    Food is made fresh and delicious. Chocolate chip pancakes and bacon from kids menu. Elotes Burrito is spicy with corn, chorizo, avocado and potatoes is enough for 2 meals or 2 people. I love their watermelon wake-up drink. Beautifully decorated and very clean. Outside seating available on the patio. Service is okay but you do have to ask for items there is no anticipation on projected needs like boxes to go, refills, or extra napkins. Overall they are very sweet staff and will bring whatever you need.

    My sister and I went in for breakfast around 10am Sunday, she put us on the waitlist on the app which is nice to use. When we arrived there were a lot of people waiting-we went in checked with this Hostess and she said it would be about 10 min. They have a community table which no one was at so we asked about sitting there. First she said No because it was the kitchen that was backed up but then a Manager came by and said it was fine. Our server came by took our drink order while we looked over the menu. I ordered the Morning Meditation juice which is my Fave, my sister ordered the Kale drink. We decided on sharing the breakfast tacos since it was plenty(3)tacos. I also ordered a side of fruit, and a side of the potatoes. We split it up and still had a taco left over. Service was great as well as the food delivered fresh, fast and quickly! First Watch is a nice restaurant, with outdoor seating(patio), it reminds me of a farm style ambiance.

    Love this place! After reading reviews I was skeptical that we'd find a table at a reasonable time on a Saturday. We walked up, and were greeted with a table for 2! What?! Unreal! The hostesses were friendly, helpful and guided us to our tables and gave us the name of our server. She was great! Had the answers to our questions and sold me on the Kale tonic fresh juice. Great! I usually make a smoothie every day after the gym but this Saturday I decided to rest-this was balanced to perfection like one of my vegetable smoothies. My wife had the BLT Benedict, and I had the Market Hash with bacon. The potatoes were crispy on the outside, and soft and steamy on the inside. I can practically still taste them! It also had Feta cheese sprinkled onto it. That's a new taste for me in the morning but I'd recommend jt. I wanted something on the healthy side? Hah! I guess this was it. The portions were fair! It's nice to see a place that doesn't share me 20$ just to give me more food. I'll take a plate for 12$ and half a smaller portion ANYDAY! My only complaint was the coffee was okay...a little sour tasting for my taste. The restaurant itself was the perfect volume, nice lighting, great views out the big glass windows. The restrooms are clean, and we had clean glasses and silverware. lol I say that because some places don't care about making a good appearance! Oh can't forget the bread! It was first rate! Eat the bread that comes with the Market hash! Will I go back? Heck yes! Good job!

    We were on errands in Blue Springs Mo and happened to see the restaurant, First Watch on SW Highway 7. As we entered we were greeted immediately by the hostess who was very friendly and showed us to our table. I noticed the seating area is very clean and spacious. We reviewed the menu and did notice that on the menu there are many options for gluten free. We chose the "2 for you" lunch special. For the sandwiches we had the Roast Beef and havarti, and the Monterey club. Both sandwiches were great and my date had the gluten free bread which she said was excellent. Our salads were the "Superfood Kale" and the "Cobb" Both were fresh and tasty. Our waitress was Ella, she was very friendly and was well versed with the menu. Our meals were delivered in a very timely manner. I highly recommend first watch in Blue Springs, and if you're lucky enough you may have Ella serving you.

    New location... same franchise. My wife is a big fan so we patronize first watch often. I had the Carnitas Burrito, it was just ok. I missed it but was not wowed by it. I also had the Watermelon wake-up. ...it was not for men it had addes syrup and juat didnt hit the spot. The staff were nice, location clean and food came out quick. Would I go back...to this location.....probably not. ( I have been to other locations since this visit and the Carnitas Burrito was amazingly addictive)

In my opinion, $22 for an Easter brunch buffet should mean hot food that won't run out. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Our party of 10 arrived at 11:00am and all of the food in the buffet was cold. Even when they'd bring more of a certain item to replace on the buffet line, it wasn't warm. The only item that was hot was the prime rib at the carving station. Being pregnant, I felt extremely uncomfortable eating cold buffet food due to the increased risk of food poisoning, so I wasn't able to enjoy much beyond the room temperature biscuits and the last scrapings of the white gravy along with some green beans that were warmish. Defintely not worth the $22 a person. They also ran out of carrot cake on Easter of all holidays, which was a disappointment. We probably won't be back for a buffet at Sandy's, which is a shame because our family has eaten their Mother's Day buffet several times and it had been fine (not stellar, but fine). Also, just a personal opinion, but the constant use of bad AI pictures on their Facebook is so cringey. The Boomers might like it, but the younger crowd sees this sort of stuff and thinks "yikes." We'd rather see real pictures of your real food, not a cartoon depiction.

The host, and the Yelp app quoted us 10-20 minutes, but we got there after 20 and ended up waiting about 15 more. This was unfortunate since there isn't a big waiting area and we were very much in the way, but the staff was nice and worked to get tables pushed together for us. After being sat it took about 10-15 minutes to get our order in, and about 15-20 for the food to come. Not bad at all with how busy this place is! All of our food came out hot and delicious at the same time! I had the cowboy Benedict with chicken fried steak, and gravy on the side. The steak was alright, pretty thin, and nothing surprisingly tasty about it. The eggs were delicious and my favorite part! The hashbrowns were fine, and the biscuit was also great--crispy edges which were perfect! I got a sticky biscuit with extra icing and really appreciated the amount of icing I got!! This was my favorite part of the meal, again the crispy edges made this such a great texture as well as the taste. Our server Amber did a great job taking care of our large party! She was nice, and checked on us several times. All the staff we came into contact with were very nice and friendly. The bathrooms were small and a little jenky, but otherwise the vibe of this spot was good. Nothing fancy at all, but what you'd expect for a quick turnaround family brunch spot. This would be my first choice for a boujee made-from-scratch meal, but for a large party this is relatively easy to get into--which has been my experience at 2 different locations near KC so far. I'm sure I'll be back with my group again next time we are in the area!

I loved the grilled onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese option. VERY GOOD! I had delicious sweet potato fries. Awesome! Creamy inside and crispy crunch on the outside. Best sweet potato fries I've had yet in the KCMO area. My husband enjoyed Bob's Big Burger Deluxe with Blue Cheese. He shared a bite with me. The burger was JUICY and grilled to perfection. He chose French fries and scarfed 'em up. I would happily have given this place a five star review. But for some reason, 90% of the patrons were all seated in one area - OUR area. While our sweet server was running her tail off, attempting to meet all of our and others needs, three servers were chit chatting in plain sight. I blame the manager on duty for lacking organizational discipline. #btw - the sandwiches were so large, we will order just one next time and share!
