Place was packed, but she didn't miss a beat. bar: Outstanding beer list, including Hop Butcher (Chicago) New School Hawaii Vibes IPA. Their tap list includes a style for everyone's interest. Big emphasis here on cocktails. Elizabeth put together a stunning Cosmo ($10!) for my wife. food: My wife's half Baja Turkey and soup-of-the-day, Chicken Noodle, with chips ($12) was outstanding. My half Not Your Mama's BLT and tomato bisque with chips (also $12) was equally fantastic. details: This is a relatively small restaurant with choice of inside, outside, and bar seating. Of note, the host also seats the bar, it's not open seating at the bar. There was a 20-minute wait at 1pm on a Saturday. Street parking outside in NOTO. There is a 3% surcharge if you pay with credit card.

This is an interesting spot in Topeka. I'm not that familiar with Topeka but there's not a whole…read morelot there except the capitol of Kansas. Searching out food gets interesting. The one question I have is why is it called The Wheel Barrel? I know a wheelbarrow, a wheel of cheese, a wine barrel, but I haven't figured out the name yet. If I make it back, maybe I can ask. The Wheel Barrel serves grill cheese/sandwiches and soup. I appreciate the concept and in this situation keeping it rather simple yet with some good selection for sandwiches and soup. I got a special wild rice and chicken soup with a half Baja turkey sandwich. It's a half and half for $12. I thought both tasted very good. I didn't eat quite all of it but I'd say it is a normal meal. Not a huge serving. I think most people would eat this in one meal. I think if I'm back in Topeka, I'll have to go back and do the traditional grilled cheese and tomato bisque! It was a busy lunch time meal. A nice size crowd was there. Service was still pretty quick. They have a rustic decor which is sort of like a wheelbarrow and a barrel. It's on a block that seems to be trying to add some art and culture to Topeka and I appreciate that a lot! If I'm back over that way, I'll stop back in and if definitely recommend it in Topeka.

Coffee is always hot especially their pour over which is my favorite thing to order. Service with a smile plus a greeting is what you will receive here. For those who do not adventure deep into this area this hidden gem is a must to visit. Ambiance is always laid back, every once in a while you might get some extra loud people, they usually do not stay very long.

Everything was delicious and the server was cheery and kept the drink refills coming. The only thing stopping me from sampling my way through the menu is I'll have a hard time not repeating my original order, I enjoyed it so much!

The coffee is adequate though they do not provide cream in pitchers but rather only pitiful plastic creamers and artificial creamers. I had the Power wrap, a small wrap with turkey, spinach mushrooms and an egg white omelette. The wrap was accompanied by pico de gallon which really didn't go well with fish. The fruit cup was an uninspired collection of half a strawberry, pineapple and grapes. The pineapple was ripe, the rest could have been from a supermarket fresh food section. Service attentive and accommodating. Extra coffee was provided quickly. All in all First Watch is an overpriced chain providing mediocre food with service better than the slop on the plate.

I wanted to try it out with my family as I'm always looking for something new and different. We had 5 people in our party for Sunday Breakfast. It is a buffet and the price was pretty decent. They have a few cocktails available that I saw on their menu. I ordered a Bloody Mary which was ok, a little lemony for my liking, the server told me that was the 1st Bloody Mary she ever made. The buffet was not too bad, when I read the menu online it said fried chicken, but it was chicken tenders-which weren't bad, I was just expecting fried chicken. They had scrambled eggs, bacon, b&g, pancakes, diced potatoes, salad, fruit, cottage cheese, some desserts, overall the atmosphere was neat, there were large floor to ceiling windows so that you could see the runway-it actually started to down pour as soon as I got there. The staff was friendly and kept our waters/coffee filled.

My food took a while to come out (we were a party of 15 so I expected that) and there were a few other issues with orders at my table.
