    This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. It's my go to and everything is always consistent! Westport location is my favorite!

    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

    Thanks, but no thanks. Even a free meal won't bring me back to this establishment.

    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!!!

    Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash (seasonal), blueberry muffin, coffee, and orange juice.

    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!

    Market veggie omelet
    Ji Eun O.

    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.

    Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos Kale Tonic
    Bryan F.

    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.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Seasoned Potatoes
    Toya C.

    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.

    Parma
    Calie H.

    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.

    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!

So we loaded up and showed up one day around Noon. Ambiance was really cool. It's in the middle of some sort of progressive looking shanty-esque suburb. The kind of place that does drag queen bingo. I was right at home. Inside was college sport bar, but with a nice, huge board on the wall of all their beer selection. It Was quite expansive. Service was top notch, too. Nice server took care of us, made sure our glasses were never empty. The food came out at a good clips, and we got an unexpected bonus of free little beignet-like donuts with some delicious dipping sauces. As for food, we started off with a jumbo order of the Truffle Parmesan Hand-Cut Fries for the table. We got to choose two from their extensive list of aioli dipping sauces. Fries were good. Dusted with the perfect amounts of truffle and parmesan. And the sauces were my oh my. I recommend paying the upcharge to just try them all. I mentioned the time earlier, because we had no idea we were stumbling upon their brunch menu. Even more options to choose from! I got the Crispy Waffle Smash Burger (smashed hertzog beef patties, fried egg, smoked bacon, merkt's cheddar, caramelized onion, maple aioli, crispy buttermilk waffle). This thing was really nice. Perfect waffle, not too small, not too big, and no oily or anything obtrusive. A nice bun option. Eggs and bacon sometime get lost against giant burger patties, but with these smash patties, the extra accoutrements really stand out and make this burger really stand out in my mind. I also for the try the Smokestack Burger (smoked burnt ends, smoked gouda, whiskey bbq glaze, pickle relish, chipotle aioli & crispy jalapeño straws). Uhhh, as you can read, this thing was loaded with goodness. Fatty burger, smokey burnt ends, sweet boozy glaze, acidic pickles, and texture from that jalapeno. This was the perfect burger. I insist you order this. Overall, my research did not reveal Beer Kitchen to me, locals recommendation did. Shows that you gotta use your street smarts instead of your book smarts sometimes. Best meal I had in Kansas City.

The sauce on top had a little kick to it but that could have been the veggies on top, but would get it again. Our friend got the breakfast enchiladas and said it was very good, she likes the green sauce over the red. I didn't personally try so I can't say how it was. My son ordered the traditional breakfast, and that's exactly what it was, but he liked it. The pancakes are the size of the plate and had a fluffy center and crispy edges. We did have to ask for more syrup because they were so big. The only reason it was not a 5 was because I felt the waitress could have been around more. I felt that since we had a group of 7 and the gratuity was already added she didn't worry about it. Our waters went empty and we had to ask a different waiter for more water and syrup, when she came over the water was warm and didn't have any ice. A kid spilled her syrup we went and asked for a rag and we cleaned it up which we expected but we had to flag someone down to see if she could get more syrup. I just felt she wasn't as attractive as she could have been. We went there on a Monday around 9:45, so it wasn't extremely busy. I would say that you should try it, it was good food!

The restaurant interior is a combination of both rustic and elegance. Our server was attentive and so sweet! For the appetizer, we ordered the whipped goat cheese. Even if you don't like plain goat cheese, like my husband, trust me, you'll like this. It has a honey mixture on top that makes the goat cheese all the more addicting! It is accompanied by DELICIOUS crusty bread, salad that tastes like it is mixed with a SAVORY sweet onion vinaigrette, and prosciutto. For entrees, I ordered the regular friend chicken sandwich with a side of fries. As I am from the South, I am VERY picky about my fried chicken. As far as restaurant fried chicken goes, this is THE best fried chicken I've ever eaten! The skin was thick and crispy and the chicken breast was very juicy! Not greasy at all. The condiment is a spicy aioli, which was not too spicy (a good thing). It also comes with a pickled cucumber and onion salad that was addicting. The sandwich has one of my favorite types of lettuce: Bibb. The fries were PERFECTLY crispy and seasoned. My husband ordered the fried chicken, which comes with mashed potatoes and gravy and a salad. He loved his meal and said his fried chicken was also the best. The mashed potatoes, which of course I had to try, were so buttery and the prime example of why it is a comfort food.
