I was traveling over Mother's Day weekend, so I chose to take my mom to First Watch today to enjoy a meal. Our server Taylor was thorough and knowledgeable. We asked what she recommended, and she provided several options. She ordered The Traditional with ham and sour dough toast. I ordered the Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos with potatoes instead of black beans. Our food was severed quickly and hot. Everything from the presentation to the flavors was perfect, and the portion size was large. The restaurant is large with both tables and chairs and booths. Very nice space, clean. I think we may have spoken with a manger on the way out for a moment as well. We spoke with a nice gentleman by the name of Isaac, who asked how our visit was. The option to pay with your phone is brilliant as well. Keeps things running smoothly I'm sure. 05-2026 read more

Super cute atmosphere and vibe, service was solid. 3.5/5 Food was good but could have been served hotter - it was lukewarm at best. it wasn't busy yet in the Saturday morning we visited. We arrived about 30 minutes after opening and the restaurant had only a few tables seated. The hostess wanted to sit us a party of two right next to a table of eight when the entire restaurant was almost empty. I asked for a different table and they were accommodating, which I do really appreciate as the acoustics are very loud in the restaurant. Sitting right next to a table of eight would have been overwhelmingly loud as we would have felt like part of their party. Our server was great and refilled our drinks without us asking which I always think is a sign of a great server. Food was just ok, not very hot. Eggs taste better when they are hot. My husband's potatoes were lukewarm which was disappointing. Waffle was good but would have been better if warmer. Also, what's with the one piece of toast as a side??? Bacon tasted like the precooked variety and again not very hot just warm. Temperature of food was disappointing. Prices are a bit higher than other area establishments. We will try it again and in the hopes the food is hot next time. read more

First of all I have been a big fan of First Watch in Venice, FL for years. Unfortunately the one in Kenosha was very disappointing. Must admit the service was prompt and friendly but that was the high point. The coffee we were served was lukewarm at best. The over easy eggs were hard cooked with burnt edges. The toast (only one slice) was burnt and the butter like substance that had been mopped over it was oily. The "smoked ham" should have been labeled as "vulcanized ham" Maybe 1/8" thick and no taste at all. The potatoes were also over cooked had no flavor other than very salty and also cold. Since the service was fast I really don't know how they could have served such cold food. Will give it another 6 months and if they are still open will give it another try and see if they can get their act together. The only positive thing was that I was using a Christmas Gift Card so I didn't have to pay for this meal. read more

Checked out the new First Watch that just opened and it's a great addition to the area. The space is big, clean, and bright, and has plenty of parking. Food wise we ordered the Trifecta and the Chickichanga, plus a fresh OJ. Everything tasted great, potatoes were crispy, waffle was fluffy, and the Chickichanga had tons of flavor. The vibe is relaxed, music isn't loud, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, a really solid breakfast spot. Loved it! read more

Visited on May 1 and had a wonderful meal. Ordered the Chilie Chorizo Omelette and it was spectacular!! Got the pancake on the side (Chocolate Chip) So yummy!! My mom ordered the Bacado Omelette (They definitely DONT skimp on the bacon) She loved hers as well. Coffee was on point! Our server was Brandon and he was amazing! Friendly, engaging, knowledgeable! Perfect hospitality. HIGHLY recommend First Watch, Kenosha!! read more

Love the atmosphere and service. The booths are surprisingly comfortable. The food is really good. I love all the breakfast items!! Chia pudding is delicious. read more

Lack of attention, waited five minutes not seated, and no one acknowledged my waiting. No sever or anyone would make eyesight with me and they were not that busy. I am a regular there. Disappointed big time. The last times there they never brought water to the table, read more

This is my second time visiting. Food was delicious however when ordering my kale tonic beverage I asked for ice to be on the side so I was given this small glass and a larger glass with ice. Later I ordered another kale tonic beverage they gave it to me in the larger glass with the ice. So of you order separately they give you a smaller glass which I don't like being that the cost of the drink doesn't match the size of the glass. I feel I was cheated, but food was delicious! read more

Got in on the soft opening. Clean, fresh, and Very well staffed and managed. Very reasonably priced! We both had skillets! It's a humongous amount of food, and so delicious. So many breakfast items to choose from. Reservations accepted, walk-in ok. All I have to say is come hungry! Definitely coming back to try their lunch menu! read more

First Watch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

underwhelming. service was top notch - our server was super attentive, but i just have to share that i was left desiring ...more. Ordered an omelette and you know you just want your omelette to be STUFFED? Or at least, maybe that's just me. Stuff me sideways mr eggs and cheese and other delicious ingredients of your preference!! This was skinny! A skinny omelette! Do yourselves a favor and break your fast at Tommy's Homerun Inn !!! Especially in this economy! read more

This place is phenomenal my friend and I come every season to try their new menu. Thier winter menu did not disappoint. The hash was unbelievable and so were the pancakes - they didn't need any syrup but if you wanted, they had super yummy warm syrup available and you can't go wrong with the cheesecake donuts Our server was super attentive. I highly recommend this place read more

Serious attention to high standards of quality set this diner apart. The coffee and food were great, the service warmly attentive. We experienced the intensive service training underway. The Classic Eggs Benedict was a good spin on the concept: lemony-good Hollandaise sauce over perfectly poached eggs atop thinly sliced smoked ham on a half ciabatta-like toasted roll with fresh greens on the side. My partner had an authentic tasting Belgian waffle with a very tasty little fruit compote. Having a real maple syrup option is another aspect of this attention to high quality healthy tastiness. Well worth the visit. Very much a cut above the other diners in this diner-rich town. read more

The Food was top notch. Our service was great and fast even tho we were a larger group . Definitely will go back again .

At 0715 we go on the website and Join the line it says the wait will be 30 min. We walk in at 0735 and checkin with the hostess. We watch about 6 sets of people walk in and be seated while we wait. We asked why it was taking so long and how people are walking in without waiting. We were told we were next twice then at 0803 we were seated. When ordering my food I asked for the potatoes in my milliondollar potatoes to be burnt because I don't care for my potatoes to be raw on the inside. I cook them like that all the time on a flat griddle by putting a metal lid over them while they cook to hold in the heat and cook the inside. After 3 attempts the middle was still raw. I eat the same thing in Florida at 3 different First Watch restaurants and they understand. Also, in Florida they appreciate military service with a discount. Here they do not. read more

My wife and I used to frequent First Watch in Kissimmee, FL, when we lived in nearby Celebration. We were delighted when we learned that a new location had opened in Kenosha, WI. We had brunch there recently and were thrilled when we found that the service and the food were both as good as (if not better than) our old Florida location. I ordered the Barbacoa Chilaquiles Breakfast Bowl and found that is was a semi-spicy Mexican-style dish. I reached for the bottle of Cholula when the dish arrived, but I found that it was seasoned perfectly and did not need enhancement. I paired the dish with a Pomegranate Sunrise ( a rum-infused fruity libation that was very good). My wife ordered the Bacado Omlet and said that it was stuffed with the best bacon she had tasted in a long time. We finished the meal with the Blueberry Lemon Cornbread. We were disappointed when we learned that it is on the seasonal menu. It was delicious! read more

Arrived early for our 11am reservation. Hostess kept us waiting for 45 minutes before informing us that our wait would be at least another hour. Hostess was ill-tempered, mean and lacking in anything that resembles empathy. read more

Went today for lunch. It was busy, but about 15 or so min wait. Said they were working on getting tables cleared. I saw 2 open tables, and 4 that needed cleaning. No one cleared off the 4 that needed. it. Had 1 cust ahead of us in line, and a small group or 2 behind us. Server got to us in reasonable time, she was nice. I know it was busy, but seemed to take a little to long for food. It was tasty. Thought she waited to long to ask if I wanted a refill on my tea. The biggest thing was my friend ordered the lemon blueberry cornbrea; but when we got our checks, they split the cost of the cornbread. WTH??! My friend ordered it, not me, she told the waitress it was to taste and would go home with her. WHY in the world would you even think this should be split when only one person ordered it! Unacceptable. They should have asked 1st before even thinking of doing that. We figd a fix, but hope this isnt standard procedure. Will go again, for food was good. Just the check issue irked me! read more

Food --after months and weeks of waiting to have breakfast. I am very disappointed how the bacon was cold and French toast no flavor at all it was awful . The syrup pouring out so damn slow Not worth it ... been to Better restaurants. Too fuck loud I thought I was at Ron's restaurant. The waitress could not hear me after telling her what I want it . Never coming back !! read more

good attentive waitress, but menu is not much to get excited about. basically a clone of 'buttermilk' locations without the specialties. i'm used to getting two slices of toast with my order, not one. wish the had steak and eggs on the menu, plus hash browns instead of cut up potatoes. read more

Very welcoming and charming establishment ! Did get a strong eggy scent but it's a a brunch spot so of course lol! I got the trifecta with the Belgium waffle which was absolutely delicious. Wasn't a fan of the iced coffee . The kale tonic was really delicious and refreshing. Our waitress was so vibrant and sweet ! Definitely adding this to my rotation of breakfast places . The million dollar potatoes were soooo savory . The million dollar bacon however wasn't a winner to me . In conclusion I would definitely recommend giving this place a shot ! read more
