Let the introduce you to The BEC breakfast sandwich, bacon egg cheddar with a sweet spicy creamy pepper sauce and greens on sourdough. Level up and make it with million dollar bacon. Menu rotates through seasonal options and doesn't disappoint. Spring flavors are in full bloom. Lot's of protein power packed choices along with classic and the sinfully decadent strawberry tres leches French toast. Servers were so nice, food arrived promptly and the space gives modern farm house vibes. Lots of space which is great because this location is clearly a local favorite. Large parking lot with an adjacent bookstore to walk it off. read more

So, I have been going to FW for, IDK 30ish years. this is my second time at this location. For the second time, I had to go find someone to seat me. Food was good, as expected. Waitress was nice, but brought water in a milk jug with no glass. WTF?! First Watch, you have a SERIOUS staffing issue at this location. If I experience the same issues again, I won't be back. Be better! read more

So, on my visit to Kansas City a friend of mine suggested that we go to first watch for breakfast/brunch. And I have to say it was a pleasant experience. I ordered a simple breakfast. Scrambled eggs and a buttermilk Biscuit with some cheese grits. I didn't have a huge appetite. I will say that I definitely enjoyed my meal. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the cheese grits were definitely delicious. Not course but perfectly cooked and a great flavor. Our waiter was good at taking our orders as requested, was attentive and provided great hospitality. As far as atmosphere, it was a very nice venue, clean. It was not noisy at all which I didn't mind. Altogether it was a great experience. So if you're looking for some good breakfast, you should definitely check "First Watch". You won't be disappointed.. All right, y'all, have a great one! -Ray read more

We had never tried out this particular first watch so we decided to check it out this weekend. It was a good size restaurant, and we were immediately greeted and given a booth. The booth actually had an opening where there was a severe draft, and we asked to be moved, and they gladly moved our seating. Our waiter was nice and did a good job throughout our visit, including giving us beverages in a to go cup when we were leaving. We got our typical meals which were delicious as always. The atmosphere was casual and calm and we would read more

I always enjoy coming to a first watch. I'm currently driving cross country and needed a GOOD breakfast. Stopped in here before heading out and was not disappointed. I was torn between the steak and egg hash or the trifecta. Caroline recommend the hash because it was seasonal and one of her favorites. So happy I went with it. It was so flavorful and filling. Caroline was amazing. Such a great personality. When she sat me she offered to bring me coffee which was perfect while I looked over the menu. Her recommendation for grilling the muffin and bringing butter made it even better. All around great experience! Thank you, Caroline! read more

I work from home and dont Drive often. So, sometimes I'll place a large order from First Watch bc if you place an order over $50 directly from the website you don't have to pay a delivery fwe. So, I placed the order but some time after realized I didnt select the delivery option so I called and explained what happened. They guys said he would cancel the order and the. I could reorder online. Cool. Decided since it was Getting laye to just wait and order lunch from somewhere else. But, I never got a refund for the $67 (plus tax) worth of food i had ordered from FW. I thought it just had to process, but a week later still nothing. So, I called and spoke with the manager, Jennifer, and explained what happened. She immediately started acting skeptical wondering why I would place such a large order. She didnt believe me!! She didn't want t give me a refund asking how did she know I'm telling the truth bc no note was left for her. So, she wanted to keep my money bc her employee didn't do his job!! When I asked if she was seriously accusing me of trying to scam her out of $67 she said no but then talk how strange it was to order so much food (I usually place large orders and eat the food over the next few days To avoid addl fees). At this point im pretty pissed bc she's threatening to not refund my money! Finally she says she'll do it "on good faith" that I'm being honest. Wtf?! I just said, "thank you for your time today" and the heifer just hung up on me: no you're welcome, no goodbye, just CLICK- yes, she placed the receiver down firmly! My bday is this month & my sister & I always go there, weather permitting, to get the bogo bday meal they send me in my email. Welp...bye bye First Watch and hello Big Biscuit!!! I'd rather pay for my meal and be treated w respect than to get a free meal from someone who's tried to accuse me of theft. Never EVER again!!! read more

First Watch - Thanks, but no thanks. Even a free meal won't bring me back to this establishment. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

The food here is great but it is by the terrible ambience. The restaurant is too loud. Too many hard services make it impossible to hear someone even across the table from you. And then on top of it corporate apparently to that thinking we must all like having our eardrums bleeding. what happened. I will never go back and neither will the people I was with. When we asked to turn the music down we were told that corporate didn't like that. Well, I'm not coming back ever. Bad decision there, corporate. read more

Came to First Watch with a few friends for a casual brunch. We ordered the Bacado Omelet, the Monterey Club, and the Market Veggie Omelet. Everything was decent, fresh and satisfying, but nothing particularly stood out as amazing. It's a solid spot if you're looking for a quick and easy brunch with friends. The service was definitely a highlight, our server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly. Overall, a good, reliable option, but not necessarily a place I'd go out of my way for. read more

Had a great visit to First Watch, which was just a short drive from my hotel, the AC Hotel in Westport KCMO. I ordered the Kale Tonic and the Farmstand Breakfast Tacos, and she had the new SoCal Hash along with a Kale Tonic too. Everything came out fast and tasted fresh. We sat on the patio since I had my pug Mojo with me, and I really appreciated how they brought him a bowl of water right away without me even asking. The waitress was super kind and attentive, and the whole experience felt easy and relaxed. I also liked the option to pay using the QR code at the table--quick and convenient. Definitely a solid brunch spot. read more

I ordered a chocolate chip pancake kids meal with one of their specialty drinks. The drink was amazing. It had pineapple juice, orange juice and coconut water in it. Very refreshing. The pancake was horrible. I usually go to the first watch in fairway and their pancakes are always fluffy, buttery and delicious. The Westport location needs to take notes because the pancake I got today was hard, dry and not good. I will continue to go to the Fairway location. Westport location was a huge disappointment. read more

I enjoy eating at First Watch. My husband and I go a few times a year in Omaha. This location was close to the hotel I was staying at. Morning meditation is my favorite drink and I usually order French toast. However, I found my new favorite with the lemon ricotta pancakes. Shoutout to Isaac for being an awesome waiter. read more

I ordered the kids' combo of blueberry pancakes with a side of protein. The pancake was not fully cooked, with raw batter getting all over my palate, and my side of protein was completely missing because it was forgotten. As a frequent customer who regularly picks up food from this location, I was extremely disappointed. This will be the last time I visit First Watch. It's very frustrating that sit-down restaurants are charging an arm and a leg, yet can't follow a basic recipe or ensure orders are complete. At this point, I'll start making my own pancakes for half the price. Experiences like this are exactly why sit down restaurants aren't doing well in this economy. read more

I moved back to Westwood KS two years ago. We tried to eat there this morning but had to leave for lack of service. So we decided to go to Westport Road location. It was really pathetic. We walked in hoping to have good experience. A young very slow man was behind the counter to get us a table and seat us. He had an attitude and started playing with the computer to find us a table. Slow as molasses----There were nearly 20 empty tables and he seats us next to one where a woman was discussing her financial planning with a gentleman at full volume---WHY? BRAINS ANYONE?? Then as we waited ten minutes for a server the same man was standing around and my wife signaled him to come to the table and he said "WHAT?" And wife replied "DON'T WHAT ME--where is our server?" He waddled off to find him- I was drawn to your place two years ago due the positive experience I always had with the location on 83rd and Mission going back 20 years and the fact that you served watermelon juice. No juice because it is "not seasonal" (huh?) even though it is sold at many places even in November-Check it out for yourself- So my wife had one egg, bacon, toast--I had toast with butter (I asked for real butter not whipped--NADA)--we both had coffee--they brought a chrome pot with enough for three cups of coffee (Not Endless) 5.00 a cup---never asked if we had enough--oh and the water issue: I always ask for ice water. They always bring me a glass of ice and a glass bottle of water-kind of "DO IT YOURSELF ICE WATER"--- This location is perfect for your business. And thats about it. Great location and maybe that will be the saving grace---but I doubt it. This again will be fodder for our homes meeting this week-AND please understand I AND MY NEIGHBORS DO NOT WANT ANYTHING FOR FREE----ALL THAT WE WANT IS SERVICE AND CONSISTENCY AND KNOW: I am not some loser or chronic complainer. I am a person who refuses to not speak up when things are beyond lousy-- Total bill 24.87 plus tip, so thiry bucks--FOR WHAT???? If you want a real breakfast done right try DAGWOOD's on the BLVD. It is great and consistent PLUS you watch them cook your food and if it is wrong they fix it before you can blink- read more

Westport is a very busy area. And parking is always not so great. I was very happy to see this location located in a plaza with huge parking. Food - Delicious as always! I always have a good meal whenever I am here. Today, I decided go with Parma Hash, and it was very tasty, I asked for sunny side eggs, and they cooked it to perfection. Service - Maybe they were super busy. But service was definitely lacking today. We were asked to move to another table after we got done ordering because they needed our table for a big party. Totally fine. They comped us a free dessert. However, I guess the staff didn't communicate with each other, because our waitress asked who is responsible for the desert. Then we had to explain to her what happened. We were also promised for discount but we didn't get it at checkout. Also, our waitress brought us our bills as soon as the food was brought to table. Felt kinda like we were getting kick out. Overall, good food and convenience parking. I would go back. read more

My friends and I visited the Westport First Watch on Saturday, August 23rd at 8:00 am. We were a group of 6 and the restaurant did not appear to be overly crowded. We are all fans of First Watch and have dined at other locations but this was our first time eating at the Westport location. We were seated quickly and we saw several servers in our section. We waited approximately 5 minutes and no server came to our table to offer coffee and water. One of my friends had to leave the table, track down a server, and ask for coffee. Coffee was finally brought to our table but the coffee in the carafe was not hot and we had to ask for a new pot. A server took our order and the food was delivered to the table without any problems. However, my wife's egg sandwich was also lukewarm when the meal was brought to us. All in all, a disappointing breakfast at First Watch. read more

First Watch is now charging for syrup. I asked for it and was brought a small individual bottle size. I didn't use it and used the free jam on plate. I checked the bill and saw the charge. I had no idea, I seemed sneaky to me. I asked to have charge removed. It was done. I suggested folks be told of the charge in the future. Food is also good, just surprised, not that way when I was in last time, the syrup charge. read more

I haven't been in a First Watch in about 20 years and the last time i was in this space it was seeing a concert at the Record Bar in a previous lifetime. i was a bit shocked to see it decorated in a mid-western agricultural motif, a farmhouse vibe that i had not encountered in NKC a long time ago. No issues, in fact it seemed to give the joint a bit of Breakfast authenticity, even though the menu contained just as much kale as it did gravy. Our Gingerbread Spiced Donut were the perfect starter to a XMas eve brunch! The light cinnamon coated holes were accompanied by the most amazing caramel dipping sauce ever! My B and G was very good and my wife said her pancakes were the fluffiest ever. Friendly hostess and server, great menu, centrally located... an overlooked breakfast / lunch spot no longer! read more

I am First Watch's greatest fan. This place is delicious and has soooo many options. You can check in online so there is never a super long wait if you do that before. I love how big and bright it is inside. Their menu is huge and ranges from light, healthy breakfasts to classic breakfast. I highly recommend their kale juice or one of their delicious morning cocktails. Always, always, always get the Million Dollar Bacon. read more

The food is always fresh and they are only open for breakfast and lunch. Usually a line so come prepared for some wait. The food is original not what you find anywhere which is good! I try to make it here when in town. Reasonably priced. A little noisy. read more

I absolutely love first watch and will always give them my business, but this specific location and this experience it felt like our server didn't want us to be in her section and serving us. I never even leave bad reviews but when we paid the bill my friend paid with card through the QR code provided and I have cash as I'm also in the industry. I left cash and left over $15 on my tab alone after the tab due. Then was chased down to my car to be questioned about my bill because they didn't look to see that it was split since we were never asked how we were paying :( read more

Yes yes 1000 times yes I will recommend this business. Wish there was one in Oklahoma City!! We only had a 2-person 13 minute wait on a Sunday morning, about 9:45am. Completely worth it. Our waitress Nia was kind & funny. Food is to die for. I LOVED my cinnamon chip pancake. My husband is a picky eater and he couldn't get enough of the short rib poutine hash. I loved the atmosphere. It was cozy & made me feel good about what I was choosing to eat and spend money at. Will come back again!! read more

I took my brother to breakfast as a part of his birthday treat. We had dined there before and I ordered my usual breakfast item...as did he. Our server was pleasant and attentive and did her check back after our order was delivered. When asked, I responded she was very receptive, asking how she might accommodate and offered to inform the manager as well. Mandy, the manager, was prompt in responding and spoke with us regarding my concerns. She handled the situation in a very positive and professional manner and my brother and I (with combined experience of 60+ years in the restaurant/hospitality industry) were very impressed. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find this level of care and service and want to acknowledge it. read more

Not real impressed so far, too many changes to deal with. The menu is pretty strict about substituting anything for something else either you don't like or want. Everything is an "extra " . A little pricey for what you get, could make it a little less expensive and maybe more folks would show up. read more

I've been to this location several times and they even hosted a yelp event years ago. I guess I say that because they take their reviews seriously and that's important to me.

12/8/19 I had a brunch meeting with clients/friends. The wait was not bad this day as we used the waitlist in yelp, otherwise, it would have been 45 min vs 0 min.

My wife ordered steak and potatoes ( steak on the side (for me) She did not care for the meal, it was missing something. The table ordered the doughnuts, (which were just ok) it came with 3 sauces. The wait staff was on point, I would definitely go back to this location as they have the process, and product down packed. read more

My French toast was thick and tasty, bacon was crispy and the fried egg was done just right! read more
