    Hostess stand
    Vicky N.

    Birthday mode activated I'm grabbing brunch with friends on Sunday morning, but honestly, I'm not sure why we always forget to document it. Either way, our three hour conversation made up for it. I would suggest if you want to come to first watch and not have to wait in line between 8:00and 8:30 is your best choice. We all had the traditional eggs, bacon, hashbrowns toast , I had a mint Chocolate Chip iced coffee. I do have to say I passed by establishment multiple times not really knowing that it was a first watch. Service was good. Food was great so if you're looking for a brunch spot First Watch in Fairway is a good choice.

    Chile Chorizo Omelet
    Amri L.

    The lemon blueberry cornbread is a must try! The purple haze is pretty good super sweet and refreshing! Love the chorizo omelette! I would definitely get on the waitlist online if you want to guarantee a spot your family in a timely manner. Great service, super packed and loud but worth it!

    Stopped in to this location for the first time in awhile. We were seated immediately but after waiting awhile at our table we had to ask the host who our server was. She came up about that time. She was friendly and our orders were correct. The food was consistently good as most First Watch locations. They got our orders correct. The restaurant was casual atmosphere answered good level of normal noise. I would say just checking back more with the customers would be helpful.

    Seasonal Brisket Hash - SO good!!
    Kimberly G.

    Went for some brunch today with some friends I hadn't seen in awhile. First Watch is always a go-to option for a good and fresh meal, but I had never been to this location until today. For coming in at about noon we were immediately seated which was fantastic! At most of the other locations we frequent, we typically wait anywhere up to an hour during the weekend. The server immediately took drink orders, and by the time he came back we all knew what we wanted to eat. The food came out fast and it was all delicious and just how we ordered it! I highly recommend trying one of the seasonal offerings when you go in, they've always got something great on there! My only complaint would be that the parking lot is super hard to find a space being the grocery store is right next door.

    Steak and bacon breakfast burrito
    Mrs L.

    Service was good, waiter was attentive. Breakfast burrito wasn't as flavorful as it looks. Cinnamon chip pancake was very good, heavy on the cinnamon. Keep your water glass close by. Also noticed an extra .50 added to the receipt for it, didn't question it but at $6.59 for one pancake plus the added .50 that's pretty damn pricey. The Hibiscus cranberry juice was sweet and the cinnamon was a nice addition that gave a punch at the end and balanced the tart flavor. Perfect for the holiday season!

    Eggs Benedict...Florentine.
    Priya Z.

    This is a fan favorite breakfast restaurant for my family when I visit. I have been here a handful of times. I usually stick with the Sunrise Granola. I'm not a huge breakfast eater, so when I do go out for breakfast I try to keep it as simple as possible. This time I decided to get the Eggs Benedict-Florentine, however I'm allergic to Avocados, so I asked for it without Avocados. The waitress repeated this back to me, and all was well. My SIS and Mom ordered from their 'Spring Menu' the Salmon Toast. I have a bite of my mom's and it was delicious. My nephew got some eggs, toast, and bacon. I'd say he ate 90% of his meal, he enjoyed it, plus he is a growing boy. My Mom and SIS really like their Salmon toast. For my dish, I started with the arugula side salad that was included. It was yummy, and it was dressed evenly, and not overdone. The Eggs Benedict was a nice change of pace for me, I ate 1/2 and started to feel sick, I tried not to think about it, and powered through. As I cut into the other half, I noticed there was a piece of Avocado on the breading. I moved it off with the fork, and didn't eat the bread, egg, or spinach it touched. However, I was already feeling sick. My Mom and SIS could tell I was in pain and when my mother went to pay, she told them about the mishap, they discounted her a portion of my meal only. I had a drive home back to Minnesota after that, and it was the most uncomfortable 7 hours. Most people think an allergic reaction to food, is puffy, swelling, can't breathe, which is all true, however, when I ingest Avocados, I get very ill, sharp pains in my stomach, throwing up, sweating, etc. Like I said, most uncomfortable 7-hour drive back to MN. I was later talking with my mother and blamed myself for trying something new, at a restaurant my whole family enjoys. My mother pointed out however, that it isn't my fault, and frankly they should have compensated my whole meal. I am not going to dock this review a star because I know in the past I haven't had a problem, and the staff has always been very friendly. Maybe I should have stated I'm allergic, but I didn't. I now know for the future. I mostly feel horrible my mother ended up paying for my meal.

    Steak hash

    ***update: went back a second time and my experience was worst than the first. For a meal costing more than 10 would have expected to get more potatoes. Also would not recommend getting a frittata which was more inion than egg (if anything, get an omelette and make your tummy happy)

    Waited 30 minutes to be seated. Waited another 45 minutes for mediocre food and par service. Won't be returning.

    A few years ago I had given The Bar a 3 Star but now I can confidently say it's a 4 star in my…read morebook. My friend and I stopped in recently on a snowy day and the place was lively and the service was on point. I forgot they had curly fries which are indeed the most superior fry in the game so, that's a big plus for me. But, what really shone through was the Chicken Caesar Wrap, it was filling and fresh. I've been on the hunt for a standout Chicken Caesar Wrap ever since they really started trending online and this one hit most of the right marks. The grilled chicken wasn't rubbery and the ratio of protein to lettuce was on point. I enjoyed that the creamy tangy caesar dressing wasn't too plentiful, if it's overdone then the wrap becomes soggy. The only thing that would have upped the ante would have been if the tortilla was grilled because it was a tad gummy. Other than that this wrap checked all the boxes. The curly fries on the out hand were near perfection, seasoned just like one of my favorite fast food restaurants and crispy without being oily. The Bar is what its namesake says, it's a neighborhood joint that serves "bar food" nothing stuffy or fancy but, great drinking food...or if you're not drinking your loss...still, the American classics are done right and you shouldn't be disappointed if you order an appetizer, burger or wrap here.

I ended up getting the breakfast burrito with their fried potatoes and it was perfect! Their potatoes are some of the best breakfast potatoes I've had at a restaurant, super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The burrito itself was done very well also, well seasoned and loaded with filling. I also recommend getting their $4 mimosas, they definitely don't skimp on the champagne! All in all, it was a perfect patio brunch - food was great, service was great, and the food came out very quickly!

Yet if you are not excited about any of what is on... it is not in your face and you can easily sit comfortably and have a conversation with your table. I hope to eat on their patio someday soon and will review again for that occasion. The bar is central to this place (who knew that a place called 30Hop would have that.) Also this place has 32 taps which is more than the original 30. But, I think the name will remain the same. 4 stars The Staff - I have rarely been greeted as well or as friendly as when I showed up here. Not only was the hostess nice and sweet, asking where we wanted to set and then guiding us to an area that had staff waiting on it but, also stood to chat briefly till our waitress got there to get us started with waters. Our waitress was extremely nice and attentive. She was friendly and able to read the table which I am sure takes quite a bit of talent. It was an impromptu date night so we were only waited on when one of us looked up and around. The Manager was also around to say hi and chat with us a bit before continuing on to other tables and see how they were doing. 5 Stars The Food - I picked up a chicken sandwich with fries. It was exactly what I was looking for on this day. My date, however, picked up a salmon salad that was amazing! Not only was the salmon cooked perfectly with a sear on all sides to give it that crispiness that is so desired but this was plated like a Michelin star was in the kitchen! Everything tasted so good. And I cannot wait to get back and have more things off the menu. My date even assured me that she will be right there with me! :D Overall - This is a fantastic addition to the Merriam area there and a good revitalization of the location. My only comment is that parking is limited. In our discussions of this I have come to some conclusions. I believe that ideas/architectural concepts are often adopted in for use in the KC Metro from successes in other cities around the globe. As much as this seems like a great idea, it seems like few of these builders take into account that this is a city of car travel. We have very low public transportation or infrastructure to support alternative modes of travel. Our city is on a sprawl and though our traffic is low you are traveling a greater distance to get to other city centers in the metro. I think the biggest reflection of this is that parking is often and afterthought and that there is rarely the right amount with any of the new constructions around town. This of course has NO refection in stars for 30 Hop. Just an observation. 5 stars!
