I visited this location based off a coworker recommendation. I wish my experience was as positive as other reviewers. The atmosphere was great. Very diverse groups of people enjoying a Sunday morning breakfast. However, the food preparation was terrible. We ordered our meal to go. When we arrived back home we realized our order was not prepared as requested. My onions were caramelized on my omelette after I requested for them not to be. Furthermore, the eggs were runny and rubbery. The prices were reasonable and the customer service was pleasant. On the other hand, I had to throw my egg white omelette away due to the taste.

Drove to KC for some breakfast and really enjoyed First Watch! The food was good. My only complaint was that the cornbread was not hot. I had the chicken burrito and it was delicious! French toast was fluffy and they brought out hot syrup. Affordable pricing as well! We tried the wake up watermelon drink and it was good, but a bit bitter. The cinnamon cereal (alcoholic) drink was delicious as well.

First Watch deserves 6 stars out of 5! We had a short wait, which was predicted accurately and our server did great. We were kind of in a hurry and they are quick for sure! Ice coffee, million dollar bacon and salmon eggs Benedict were amazing. The place feels and is super clean and modern. It’s also high tech and we could join the waitlist before we even got there.

We came here with a family of 9 and got seated exactly when they told us we would! The hostess, to the server, and the food were all great! This will always be one of my favorite places! The GM Charles made our experience the best! He is so personable and talked to us for a bit while we were there! First Watch is lucky to have Charles, he cares so much about the costumer experience and was out on the floor working hard constantly making sure staff and customers were happy! Lauren our server was also the sweetest and patient. We had 4 kids, and she was super helpful and understanding.

We came from Texas to visit family and decided to stop. There was a little wait but well worth it! The French toast and pancakes reminded me of my grandmas, amazing, fluffy with a little crisp on the pancake! Favorite was the potato wedges! We ordered the Floridian French Toast(fresh fruit 10/10) & the traditional with and loved the artisan toast! Will definitely return!

Came in on a rain delay. Place was packed but I got a spot at the bar. Service was fast, very friendly, and the food was amazing. Carnitas tostadas, packed with flavor, fresh veggies and fixings. So glad I made the call!

The food is the typical breakfast but using fresh ingredients. Visiting from Southern California I decided to try this restaurant and it was great. The staff is very friendly from walking in the door to leaving. All questions were answered and requests catered too. The waitresses cared about your experience and smiling and even got a smile back of you smiled at them. Their fresh juices are great and I recommend the morning meditation. I ended up having 3 it’s so delicious. I hope this chain comes to southern California
