    This morning I placed a delivery order because I wanted some breakfast but didn't want to leave the house. And last time I visited first watch I saw that they have a lavender French toast. The French toast was pretty delicious. The only note I have is that when it's to go, they should put the toppings on the side. It arrived with the cream all melted. I feel like it should have had more berries too. I would definitely order it again, though. Sad it's just a seasonal item. The b&g I ordered with it was really not good. They used to have good b&g, but the last couple times I ordered it, it wasn't very good. The recipe must have changed. It should change again. Smaller chunks of sausage and maybe a little sage in the gravy would be nice.

    Lovely breakfast experience! I enjoyed the seasonal pineapple juice with a chocolate chip pancake and side of fruit. My husband enjoyed coffee and the Trifecta. Both were delicious. Service was QUICK for a Saturday morning. We were sat right away (you can check the wait time online at First Watch or on the First Watch app) and food arrived quickly after placing our order. It's a family friendly restaurant with great natural lighting in the morning. Comfy chairs at the 2-seater tables. We will definitely be back!

    Whats not to like... You can taste the freshness in every bite! I went to another location while here in KC..but thiz location is by far my fav! The salmon is fresh and sliced...not minced like the other KC location. Twice I have ordered the salmon benedict, million dollar bacon and gravy and biscuit....babeeeee Like I started this review..."whats not to like"

    elevated egg sandwich and spiked purple haze drink
    Hannah S.

    Food is great. My boyfriend LOVES the sausage and biscuits and i've ordered the elevated egg sandwich and the crab avocado toast. both are very good meals. They are always busy there and for good reason! Definitely feel like the prices are reasonable and the purple haze drink is to DIE FOR. Love me a good lavender lemonade, it's very refreshing and not too sweet. Waitresses/waiters are always extremely kind and quick to assist you. Before thinking of Ihop or dennys for breakfast, spend the couple extra bucks and go here instead! For two people who also bought spiked drinks with the meal, we paid about $40 (20% tip included). 10/10

    a coffee cup on a table in a restaurant

    I think everywhere is struggling with service in general so no big deal. Food was hot and fresh but service was lacking. Waited for about 7 min before we were greeted. Wish they were a little bit more aware of covid with leaving stuff on the table as well as a coffee cup. I didn't want coffee so I moved the cup - which then the server grabs it to put back for the next customer so now multiple people have touched it. I always get the pick 2 for lunch. The roast beef havarti and the sweet honey pecan chicken salad are a solid staple here. Hubs tried a summer Mexican hash feature and said it was tasty.

    Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl (gluten free) from the regular menu.

    Since it's St. Patrick's Day, and they don't serve corned beef and cabbage, I'm honoring the traditional "Wearing of the Green" with their avocado toast...I dropped some of the mashed avocado on my sweater! As a friend once said "Can't take you anywhere without a bib!" Their temporary "Jump Start" special menu items all sound pretty great, but they had me at the picture of the Crab & Avocado Toast just inside the front door. It comes with two basted eggs, but they'll cook those anyway you like. I'll paint the picture for you...imagine a thick slice of whole grain artisan toast topped with a generous amount of very fresh mashed avocado, then topped with a decent amount of wild-caught blue crab, and pickled red onions! Irresistible, right? It was delicious change-of-pace for lunch. The service was great, everything was clean and tidy (except my sweater), and I am a happy camper!

    Bubba's Benny

    Outdoing some Thanksgiving shopping and decided to stop in for a bite to eat. The restaurant was packed, about a 15 min wait for a booth. My wife got a complimentary cup of coffee while we waited. The staff was polite and put us on the list, our table was ready a little before the quoted time frame. I ordered a classic which is no longer on the menu ( Bubba's Benny) Biscuit, smothered in gravy with a sausage patty, eggs and a side of country potatoes. I also ordered the cinnamon crunch pancake. My food came out fairly quickly, the waitress was, prompt, polite and friendly. I ordered scrambled eggs vs over easy and my eggs just did not have the fluff or volume that I am used to getting at first watch, also the sausage was diced vs the patty of the center cut that I have had in the past. My biscuit did not have the body that I was accustomed to either, as it crumbled while I tried to eat it. The potatoes where good as usual and the pancake was fantastic. All and all I would not order the Bubba's Benny from this location again as it was very underwhelming, on another note we also asked our waitress for to-go containers and never received them from her nor did she return prior to us paying for our meal. ( We were forced to flag down another staff member who took care of us) This is one of my wife's favorite chains and yet not our favorite locations.

    Enjoying our mom and daughter time.

    My first favorite place since I moved from Washington, D.C. To the Midwest. Before this place offer liquor beverages I loved and now more than ever. Sundays are days when the waitlist makes it a little bit difficult but the wait time is worth it after you enjoy their variety of dishes including a healthy menu.

The burrito was also really good, packed full. Chose chorizo as the meat and it was very tasty. Also tried the lemon ricotta pancakes which were the perfect amount of sweet and zest. They're regular pancakes topped with a raspberry sauce and lemon zest. I would definitely come back but aim for an outdoor seat.

On this last visit I got the West Coast Omelet (bacon, onions, tomatoes, and cheese topped with a couple of avocado slices). It comes with a side of rosemary potatoes and an English muffin. I swapped the muffin for a biscuit. I had forgotten their biscuits are more similar to a cross between cornbread and cake. I'd prefer just a regular biscuit even though their style of biscuit is interesting. The omelet and biscuit was large. The rosemary potatoes are delicious and I'd have loved to have a bit more of them. I really enjoyed the omelet as well! I had to take about half of the omelet and biscuit to go. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because I think there dishes tend to be a bit more sweet and while I love sweet, if I'm eating savory, I'm picky about the sweetness. I think that is a personal preference and I'm sure some people love it. My server was Kat (Katerina) and she was great. Very patient and helpful. She happened to be my server both times I've been there! The restaurant is very clean with a comfortable, welcoming environment. It's always nice to see their messages of kindness. We could use a lot more of that these days! Cruelty seems to be in fashion now. It's refreshing to go somewhere promoting kindness! I'd go back just for that bit the service is outstanding and the food is really good!

Both the hostess and server were exceptionally engaging, even providing a personal water pitcher for the table--a small touch that makes a huge difference. The Food: Chicken Fried Chicken: This is the real deal. It was clearly prepared fresh, not frozen, which is a rarity these days. The Sides: The home potatoes were perfectly crispy, and the gravy was thick, peppery, and hit all the right notes. The Biscuit: This "super-sized" biscuit was essentially the icing on the cake. The Eggs: I ordered my eggs poached soft. They arrived a bit too soft (runny yolk was the goal, but these were just under), though in fairness, that's likely on me for the specific request! Verdict: If you want a breakfast that feels home-cooked with high-quality ingredients and attentive service, this is the place. I'll definitely be back for their famous French toast and medium poached eggs .

My food was good as well, except the sausage patties were slightly overcooked. The gluten-free pancakes were excellent and I'm so happy that they have them since not a lot of places have that choice. The restaurant is a homey atmosphere and it seemed like they had a lot of regulars. My husband used the restroom and I think that the men's restroom doubles as having some utility items in there like a mop and so forth. But he said there was a cabinet that had Styrofoam cups that were facing forward, which probably should not be in there. That is the only reason I gave it to four. We would definitely come back even though it is a little bit of a drive for us.
