To start off it was a Saturday we wanted First watch.. OK do the online check in and well we get to the restaurant and there is a packed restaurant. I expected nothing less. So we checked in, get seated. Wham drinks are there within 5 minutes of sitting down. I was reading email and WHAM ordered food is there within 15 minutes of sitting down. I am impressed. As we were eating we realized most of the customers are just sitting talking plates all cleared(this is a sign), well I say thats OK if the restaurant is slow. OK I'll whine here, if the place is packed and theres a line let's be courteous to this fine establishment and head to somewhere slower like WB to sit and chat. Hats off to this location they move you in and out in record time. And oh yeah the food was spot on just enough so we could head out to make other stops read more

We all know I'm a sucker for fall flavors -- this time I tried the Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash and OMG it was soooo goooood! Food here is always amazing -- fresh, made to order, and consistently delicious. Definitely one of my go-to brunch spots. Their seasonal menu is something I always look forward to! The vibe? Think fancy farm-fresh meets easygoing brunch. Cozy, bright, good service, and always a great experience. read more

First Watch - Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I love a good First Watch! We have visited many locations all over the country and it is always a hit when we live near one. They have such a great variety of menu items and the seasonal items are always fun and exciting. Service at this location was spot on and the wait between ordering and our food coming out was very quick even though there were many customers at the time. First Watch is in a great location as well that is new and developing. We look forward to our next visit here! read more

Mwah! Chefs kiss! First time visiting and NOT the last time!!! Best breakfast I've had in a long time! The pumpkin spice pancake and lavender drink.. umm what a way to wake up my taste buds!!! My son had the breakfast tacos and of course inhaled th like any teenager does. Only complaint he had was that the maple syrup wasnt sold separately. We lived in New York and are maple syrup snobs sooo he wanted to have some from here as it met his standards... the server gave some Togo samples... thank you for that 1000/ 10.. love this place and will definately return read more

Grabbed breakfast at First Watch on a Wednesday morning. It was not busy, but I love that they have a virtual waitlist you can join! We arrived and were seated quickly. Service was kind and fast. I got the frittata and it was good - nothing crazy, but a solid frittata. The salad that came with it was good too. It is close to my house, so I'd definitely go again. read more

My friend and I had a late breakfast and decided on First Watch, it's one of our favorite places. When we arrived there were people sitting outside waiting g to be seated-first watch is always busy so download the App and get on the waitlist! We found 3 seats available at the Bar Top so we sat and were greeted promptly. I ordered my favorite-Purple Haze and my friend ordered the Morning Meditation. We had a hard time deciding on breakfast as everything sounded so good. They have a Seasonal Menu which looked yummy too but I ordered The B.E.C. the Server recommended to get the sauce on the side-she said it's a little spicy! I'm glad she told me because it sure was HOT(Spicy)it was really delicious though. First Watch has a bar top, patio and regular dining area. read more

We had a great brunch here! We enjoyed two seasonal dishes, the lavender French toast and a hash meal. We also had a Pineapple Express drink that was very good. Service was fast and friendly and menu is full of great options as usual. I forgot to check in on their app, so we had to wait about 30 minutes, but it wasn't too bad of a wait. Definitely check in on the app if you have it and register your birthday so you can get a bogo deal like we had! read more

I have eaten at this location a number of times over a period of time. Normally, the food and the service is spot on. So consistently great there is no need for a review. This time was different. First of all, our server, Casey was excellent. She let us know the cook staff was new and to expect some issues. Fair enough. However, the food was so abnormal that a review is warranted for educational purposes. Here is what happened. I ordered the traditional breakfast with a side of French toast. Here was the problem. I wanted sunny side up eggs. I got scrambled. The food was cold and under cooked. The potatoes were hard and chewy. The French toast was chewy. Out of six meals. Only one of us did not complain about the food quality. We spoke to the manager. She was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. This was a fluke. Give them some time to get the kitchen staff in order. read more

Breakfast was good as usual but disappointed they removed breakfast skillet from menu.

This is more of a 3.75 stars, we been here several times and we like everything from before... since this place open in 2023, but this time we went recently it wasn't a great experience for the food. Always busy here, but check in online or in person is easy though. Today we ordered Chickchanga and Carne Asada Hash, both dishes was super salty. Especially the diced potatoes. It was hard for us to finished our meal. Could feel our blood pressure going up. If they could tone down on the salt when they are premade in the morning, it would be great. Some of the other meal we like were farmhouse hash, egg benedicts, kaletonic, and other juices. read more

Sign up for First Watch emails and get BOGO free on your birthday! The menu items are on the pricier side, but the quality of the ingredients and the meal as a whole is what you're paying for. The Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast was so sweet and delicious. The place was surprisingly full on a weekday, but service was good. read more

First time at First Watch, and it definitely won't be the last. From the moment I walked in, the energy was welcoming and calm--perfect spot for a chill breakfast or brunch. The servers were some of the nicest I've encountered in a while. Super attentive without hovering, genuinely friendly, and you could tell they enjoyed what they do. That always makes a difference. Food came out fast and fresh. Everything tasted like it was made with care. You can't go wrong with their avocado toast or breakfast tacos--light but flavorful, and the portions were just right. The whole experience felt easy and enjoyable. Clean place, good food, and a team that really knows how to treat their guests. I'll absolutely be back. read more

We love being able to join the waitlist prior to arrival so we don't have to wait in a crowded sitting area. The restaurant was hustling and bustling but it was kept clean and the wait wasn't terrible at all. The menu options were amazing as always and our food and beverages were as superb as they've always been from our first experience at any first watch location. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

We had the best breakfast this morning before taking my little one to school. My works omelet was amazing. I love their toast, trust me even the toast is tip top. The staff including our server were so amazing. We didn't want for anything. The coffee was super hot and we had plenty of sugars and assorted creamers. Our water came out in the super cute glass bottle with very nice heavy glass water glasses. The restaurant is beautiful, very tasteful decor. Well lit but not so bright you'll get a headache (just incase you come in with a hangover). The seats are comfortable, the restaurant is very clean and the restrooms are exceptionally clean. Please check them out. Let me know if you enjoy it. We are sure to be back again and again. Great job 1st watch!! read more

Overall first watch is a great place to eat. I gave it three stars due to my experience when I first arrived. When I checked in to the host stand and requested I'd like to sit outside, the guy told me that was fine and to sit anywhere out there. I initially sat at a table where the sun was shining directly on my back, so I moved to a table completely in the shade. In the mist of doing that a server from that section walks up to me and says "there is a completely different server in this section and you need to let your server know your moving tables." It caught me off guard when she approached me and said that. Considering no one came to the initial table were I was sitting at. It appeared that she was the only server in the outside section. I made her aware the host told me I could sit anywhere outside and that it seems to be a miscommunication between the employees. Long story short it was her section all together and she was getting off soon. I arrived at 1pm and they closed at 2:30pm. I really wanted to leave but the person I came with wanted to stay, so I took one for the team. When our food was being brought to our table it was delivered sporadically, which caused the food brought out first to get cold waiting for the rest of the order. We chose not to say anything because it was already a burden that we choose to eat outside. One of the Bar servers paid very close attention to detail and saw we were frustrated with how our experience was going and brought us a complementary breakfast drink. Very nice jester :) I ordered the seasonal items from the menu, the brisket hash bowl and watermelon breakfast drink. The smoked salmon Benedict without the eggs and sauce. The person that came with me ordered a morning meditation and the trifecta with a Belgian waffle , breakfast potatoes and a side of million dollar bacon. The food and drinks were 5 stars! I definitely recommend eating here and I'll definitely be back, just at another location. read more

1 hour wait on a Sunday morning. Aside from that the servers kept up the best they could. The meal was exactly the same that I would find at any other First Watch. Which is a good thing. Insider tip - during the weekends, be sure to put your name on the wait list via their website. There will be a wait. read more

We placed our order online and went to pick it up. No one is available in the pickup area. The bag said 1 of 1 with the name. We took it and left. Turns out our order was not complete. When we called they said we had not gotten all our bags. There was another bag with our name on it. Well, cold gross eggs are not appealing. The second bag also said "1 of 1" and was initialed by the same person. So drive around and get your bags with zero making it right. Customer service is dead. read more

The French toast, sausage, and kale tonic were delicious! It was a great meal!! And their maple bacon is on point!!! The grits were fishy (or maybe chicken brothy?) and runny...gross so I couldn't give them 5 stars even though everything else was really good! Do NOT get the grits unless it's with seafood...blah! But definitely try the kale tonic--it's a mix of apple, kale, cucumber & lemon and is sooo good!!! read more

Great addition to the Tiffany Springs area. It is bound to be busy so reserve your table in advance on their website. We experienced a 30-45 min wait on a Saturday morning/brunch (11:20 AM). Can't wait for great weather the outdoor seating area looked very inviting. Inside is trendy and eclectic with a underlying farmhouse feel. Mr. Hipster meets Farmer Joe! My husband ordered the Chickichanga a spicy chicken burrito and breakfast potatoes. He approved of the spicy flavor. I ordered the traditional breakfast , eggs over easy with bacon. My choices were limited because of a soy and gluten allergy. The menu has a at code the helps identify allergens. That was cool. Our server also checked with the kitchen to help accommodate my allergies. My plate was served with a pick that identified that the kitchen paid attention to my allergies. read more

My daughter had a craving for french toast for lunch. Where else to go. Service was fast and friendly even though we came in 30 minutes before closing. I had eggs Benedict which were cooked perfectly. Fresh orange juice and hot syrup. Perfect. read more

This place is fantastic! I stop by every Saturday for brunch with my family. The staff are amazing and they treat you like old friends. We've enjoyed everything on the menu, but we're addicted to the "holey donuts" and the skillets. Their coffee and cocktails are wonderful too. Just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time, if you plan to visit around lunch time on the weekends. read more

When we walked in it was very busy but once we were seated everything was good! We were served by Audrina and she was very attentive, nice, personable and helpful. My wife has a lot of severe food allergies and the restaurant was very attentive and helpful. They brought out her food separately and had lots of options for her. Later the manager came by and talked with us to assure everything went smooth. It did!! The food was absolutely great. We will be back, thank you! read more

This isn't my first time at First Watch but it is my first time at this one. It was pretty busy when we got there. Hostess told us 20 minutes but it only took maybe 10 minutes to get a table. Nice atmosphere. Excellent service. The waitress came right away. I ordered BLT Eggs Benedict and a watermelon pineapple breakfast drink. Both were amazing! The eggs benedict came with arugula on the side with a light dressing. So fresh and was a great addition to the benedict. I've always loved first watch and this one is even closer to my house. I'll definitely be back many times. read more

We had an amazing experience at this first watch. On a Sunday morning, we weren't sure that we would be able to be seated quickly or together. However, this first watch had us seated within 5 minutes. Along with that, our server Allison was AMAZING. She was quick, personable, and made sure we all had what we needed. The food came out very quickly and it was all DELICIOUS. I had the market skillet & a lemon ricotta pancake that I would recommend to anyone who wants some fresh-ness in their breakfast. The restaurant kept people moving in and out and had a lot of outdoor and indoor dining options. It was a, overall, very positive experience. read more

New place - nice new menu items and beverages. Enjoyed the French toast, blueberry pancakes & egg sandwich. Always fresh ingredients and healthy options at First Watch - this location was GREAT! read more

I am not a huge breakfast water BUT man oh man what a terrific breakie spot! Im a little spoiled living in the Southern California beach areas when it comes to breakfast spots - this place blows any beach spot away. I had the normal breakfast plate - potatoes were really good but the lemon ricotta pancakes were light - fluffy and a but crispy which worked perfectly. I cannot wait to have another overnight for work here to go back for those pancakes again. Signed not a pancake lover - but loved the lemon ricotta pancakes! read more

First watch is one of my favorite restaurants so I definitely wanted to go here for breakfast on my birthday. It was my first time at the location on ambassador, and will be my last. Next time I'll keep driving down to north Kansas City for a better experience. I found the ambassador staff was somewhere between friendly and rude. It was as though they didn't care. Starting with seating, we passed multiple empty tables and booths so the hostess, who was bothered by our presence, could seat us at a cramped table right by the kitchen. It was very noisy. Then our waitress wanted us to hurry up and order as soon as she brought our coffee. The food was not bad, although the cook needs to learn over medium isn't the same as over easy. It's not a bad place to eat, but it's not great either. It's just meh. Go to a different location, this one isn't worth your time. read more

Not bad at all First Watch! I was able to check in online, so I wasn't waiting long for a table. I don't think I'd be waiting long anyways.

It was a nice and cheery atmosphere and we will definitely be back. read more
