    Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast
    Mary T.

    Godfather breakfast bowl was really good. The sauce has a good spice to it, and the grits, sausage, arugla, and egg in too of the sauce just mix so well together. I definitely want to try the other menu items after trying this. Also got strawberry tres leches french toast and toast pretty good portion size as well. Definitely for sharing since it is pretty sweet. We requested outdoor patio seating and was seated right away. Our waitress was also very nice and friendly. Overall good experience here!

    Our server was Kyle. He was very attentive and checked on us often. The food was fresh , hot and very tasty. We would return again

    2nd Day in business! Waiting space has coffee. Very nice.

    Welcome to the neighborhood! Day 2 of First Watch in Orland, IL and I know that I am excited to have this wonderful establishment close to home. This is the 2nd location in the entire state of Illinois, and I find it exciting. Now, let's hop into this review. As mentioned, this is DAY 2 of this establishment being open. So, I really wanted to observe. Come in and get one of my new favorite bites and enjoy all that was offered. I kept in mind: This location just opened. Be kind, enjoy:) It is REALLY cute inside. Cozy, welcoming. Opening week brings free coffee for all. YAY! So nice! I went in with one thing on my mind; Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. I ordered this pancake as part of what is called their "Tri-fecta". 2 eggs, 2 pieces of meat your choice (I selected chicken sausage) and one multigrain pancake (the lemon ricotta, OMG). This pancake came with fresh strawberries and was lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I asked for maple syrup just in case I needed a lil kiss of buttery yummers. My date ordered Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos. 3 came in the order, with a side of black beans and avocado. Lucky for me, I got the side of green loving (avocado). The Million Dollar Bacon was a side order. It is truly a sweet smoky bacon treat, with a kick of spice. DO TRY IT! I had a cup of coffee that was stronger than CAPTAIN AMERICA! Yet yummers! We arrived after 12p and we had plenty of time to eat, talk with neighbors at the table right next to us and allow our food to digest. This restaurant is a wonderful establishment. I have visited their Oakbrook, IL location several times, and it is truly a nice place for breakfast/lunch. Farm to table. Fresh and delightful. It truly is that simple and easy. I hope others will find their way and make a big fuss about First Watch. Go in, ask about their story as to how this business was established. It will warm your heart. I will say, what I WOULD have liked from this experience: To be offered water at the table. An Explanation of the menu/specials. THIS location, to have had the server explain much of anything. She was just rushing along, the entire time. Everything was a rush. Disappointing, but the kinks will work out. I am sure of it. Again, HAPPY to have First Watch in Orland, IL. A nice addition to what we already have, and I am happy about it. YAY for LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES! Make this establishment a part of your breakfast hot spots! It is a great place, with great history, they really give back to others in more ways than one. And as always, you don't have to take my word for it....GO GET YOU SOME!

    The Tri-fecta and The Traditional Breakfast
    Maricel J.

    Hubby and I decided to come here for breakfast. It's located in Ravinia Plaza, with ample parking. The staff are warm and welcoming -- we were greeted as soon as we arrived. Even though it was packed, our wait was maybe about 10 minutes, give or take. The ambiance is bright and airy with modern decor. The waiting area has a self-serve coffee station, which is a wonderful touch. Like some other patrons, we were not served water when we sat down. I did see some water on a few tables, and maybe patrons need to ask. Our server, Reegan, was pleasant. They brought a carafe of coffee and said it comes from Colombia. Love how strong it is. Hubby ordered The Tri-fecta with a pancake and smoked ham. I ordered The Tradtional Breakfast with chicken sausage and toast. We both enjoyed our meals. This is a wonderful neighborhood staple. We will definitely be back.

    French toast substituted banana for offered fruit

    We came on a Saturday morning and they were very busy. We were able to get on a waitlist online which helped our wait. We started with the donuts which were really good and are offered free on a coupon when you sign up. The food was really fresh and delicious. They seem to be geared towards healthy and fresh. The decor was inviting. Very open concept and was loud. Staff were friendly, quick and accommodating.

    Iced coffee

    Came here for brunch and was seated pretty quickly on a weekday. Tried their strawberry tres leche French toast which was a popular item but not a fan of it. Also tried their caramel iced coffee which tasted very off but mint mocha coffee was soo much better. The service was great.

    Grand opening, reservations only . Very crowded. Anticipating the arrival of food . Getting the Bacado Omelet .

    Food was good but pricey. Service was very good. The ambience is nice and low key. This place gets very busy on the weekends.

    Rustica

    First time at the First Watch in Orland Park and it was delicious. I had the Rustica and the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. The service was good as well.

    French toast

    Food was very delicious. The Million Dollar bacon and the Million Dollar Potato's are well worth the visit. Plus they leave the whole carafe of coffee at your table so you won't have to wait for a warm

    The breakfast was delicious, I just found the high top chairs to be very uncomfortable and I didn't like being squashed by the bar

    I was craving drinking chocolate, and couldn't find a place until I saw that this place had a shot…read moreof chocolate. 4.5/5 Shot of dark chocolate which is great. It's not too sweet, and it's the right richness. 2.5/5 Chocolate lava cake was really strange. The cake had a strange grainy texture. Maybe it was old? The chocolate on top of it was good and so was the vanilla gelato, but those come with other desserts as well, so my rating is really more about the cake. 4/5 Lotus crepe was good. This is huge and a perfect size to share. The lotus is spread throughout the crepe--it's crumbly and yummy. And then this is topped with three melted chocolates- milk mainly and some white and dark. 5/5 cardamom chai was perfect. You can really taste the spices, which I love. And they don't add sugar or other sweeteners. 4/5 mocha - my partner had this, so I didn't get to try it, but he enjoyed it but felt it was on the small side.

    This place has some incredible desserts. I am a bit shocked at how expensive everything is though…read more On our last visit, my husband had the Banana Cinnamon Pouch, a crepe stuffed with Melt n Dip special cream, banana and cinnamon all topped with Milk, Dark, and White Belgian Chocolate ($17.99). I got the Strawberry Dubai Cup ($14.99) that wasn't listed anywhere on their menu, but I had seen it on their Instagram. My cup was mostly cold, and the chocolate was firm - I think this would have been better if the toppings were more melty. Service was a bit slow, even though they weren't terribly crowded. There is ample seating inside. This is a good stop for indulgent desserts, but the price point would discourage me from returning too frequently.

If I can give this place 10stars I would ! Also When I come to visit on a regular day my girls can spend hours here and still argue to go home. Food options are great and not over priced! Feel like this is the only place I can actually sit back and relax and not have to worry about my kiddos. Thank you Kenzie Playhouse

    We were here for my great nephew's birthday party There…read morewere a few things that occurred during the event that we found to be extremely strange First even the adults are required to remove their shoes instead of offering booties this was gross because no one wanted to go into the restroom barefoot Second this venue does not offer any American soft drinks or sodas for some political reason which the staff tried to explain during the children's party we found this to be odd and disconcerting to bring up politics during a children's party Next as we were eating our food all sitting at the table One of the employees came up and told us that we couldn't sit there that we had to pick up our stuff and move to a different table we just found this to be completely inappropriate In addition during the party they had a card on the table describing each cost of what my niece had paid for the event If people want this type of information they can go up to the desk and ask for it you don't need to reveal to someone's guests what they've spent for the party The employees were friendly the venue was fairly clean but it was just a real strange environment I don't understand why you would bring politics to a children's party
