    Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash OMG!!!
    Elle R.

    Wow! I just had my favorite dish from First Watch! This chimichurri steak hash has so much flavor and everything is cooked to perfection. My server Tammy was fantastic, very sweet, attentive, and didn't rush me through my drink before my breakfast. The restaurant is clean, bright, and not too loud. I was done by 8:50am on a Sunday morning and it still wasn't busy, busy at this point.

    I was really excited for the breakfast potatoes, but they weren't that good. They had nice flavor, but many of them were extremely undercooked, almost to the point of being raw. I'm not sure if that's just how they are here or if they were cooked poorly today, but that was disappointing. The French Toast was good, the hot chocolate was good, the coffee was just okay. Despite being in a fairly large group (8), our food came out really fast and everything was correct. Our server was great. I love the decor in here and the chalkboard seasonal menu, such a cute touch. Overall, it was good but really wish the potatoes were better.

    Roast beef and havarti cheese sandwich and greens with lemon dressing. Hold the cheese on the sandwich.

    Usually the food is top rate, but this time my salad with lemon dressing wasn't very fresh-the lettuce was limp. Great service though.

    Every time I come, I leave satisfied. Service has always been top-notch - like take-the-time, patience and genuine kindness - and they did it yet again! I opted for smoked salmon eggs Benedict this visit - delish! No regrets here! I'll probably go back to the healthy breakfast bowls next time - they are the best!!!!

    While there were loads of folks there, wait time wasn't too bad for breakfast/brunch time (after 10:15). My waitress was great! Not too loud in there given the number of patrons. The flavor of the food was spot-on! I tried a new Fall Menu item (Honey Bacon Brussels Hash) & while it was slightly over-seasoned (salty) IMO, the flavors melded well. Loved the chili crunch topping. The only thing that was bothersome was the Brussels sprouts were rather large bites (obviously one can use a knife to cut them), but most were also a tad too "raw;" better that, though, than mushy. Yep, I'd still go again. :)

    This is a great breakfast spot! We had a small group and the service was top notch! I had coffee and the million dollar bacon. Both were delicious! I can't wait to get back! Great food, great service!

    My perfect breakfast at First Watch
    Ken J.

    I had not been to First Watch in years. Food was perfect. Much improved over what it was when I decided to eat elsewhere. Today my omelette and sides were excellent. Bacon was crispy as asked. Only thing that could have been better would be if my daughter in college was eating here with me. Server was very nice, friendly, and prompt.

    Lexi provided great service & we loved the new dishes from the seasonal menu. We will be back!

    Purple haze

    My boss wanted to order breakfast for everyone, I suggested first watch. You can never go wrong with eating here. They have a little of everything for everyone. I ordered the Barbacoa Chilaquiles breakfast bowl on their seasonal special menu to go. 8/10 This was a big portion of food; pros very flavorful, seasoned great, the black beans and veggies were very fresh! Cons there was only 3-4 pieces of meat, it was way too much tortilla at the bottom to the point it absorbed most of the sauce. I ordered a side of potatoes and a purple haze breakfast drink (my fave). Great place for breakfast and brunch, highly recommend especially if you're into healthy eating.

    On a recent trip to the area, I was in the market for a brunch. I did a little bit of research and came upon this restaurant. The interior is very attractive and they seem to do a lot of business. I heard really good reviews about the place so I was interested in trying it. Service was pretty good. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the food quality. The waffle was decent. Bacon was not yummy and the potatoes were salty. The best thing I had was the drink. Was the food horrible? No. Did I think it was the most delicious? No. Will I go back? Not likely.

    BLTE, tomato soup, veggie sandwich, potatoes, & coffee!
    Lauren E.

    Always busy and always good! I love when I get to spend time with my Grandma and she chose this spot today. Even though it was busy our service was so fast- I wish I caught our servers name she was great! Food was delicious as well, First Watch never disappoints at any location

    My husband and I had lunch here today, and it was absolutely DELIGHTFUL!…read moreI am very impressed with how WELL the staff work together. They absolutely have the processes of this little restaurant honed to perfection, and even during a busy lunch time kept things humming so that there was minimal wait time (to order, for the food to be brought out, and to pay for our meal). Many, MANY thanks to Robert, who seated us, took our order, brought our food out, and settled our bill. He was friendly, efficient, and so welcoming. It was a joy to watch him work; he made sure to greet each and every customer coming in the door, and was consistently so upbeat and positive. And many, MANY thanks to Tony at the grill! Our food was FANTASTIC!! I have high standards for Mediterranean food, and the falafel wrap was totally delicious! The falafel itself was perfectly cooked, with a crispy outer layer, and the other ingredients in the wrap were chosen for a perfect melding of flavors. I had the side salad, with homemade Thai peanut dressing, and it was equally tasty. My husband had the patty melt, which came on homemade bread (!) and was, per his report, perfectly done. His side was tater tots, and we shared them. They were crisp and light without being greasy, and addictively yummy! The restaurant is in a strip center; it's not very big, but the tables are well placed so that no one feels cramped. The open reception area and kitchen/grill make it easy for the staff to respond to what's happening in the dining room (e.g., new folks arriving). It was a truly memorable meal, and we'll definitely be back! Again, MANY thanks to Robert and Tony for such a great lunch. We appreciate you!

Some of the people in our group thought some of their dishes were a little bland, but I liked everything I tried. We had the okra and fried pickles for appetizers. The pickles have a very crunchy breading and a dip that was delicious! The okra is very good - especially with the dip for the pickles. We also tried the biscuits with butter and peach compote. They were great! Unique, fluffy, flavorful, and definitely worth a side order. I ordered the chicken and waffles with the peach. It was a good dish. The chicken tenders had a little bit of a spice that I didn't totally love, but they were still good. I also tried my friend's shrimp and grits, and they were delicious. The person next to me got meatloaf and brussels sprouts sprouts and really enjoyed it! He was practically licking the plate! Everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks as well. The only one I tried was the espresso martini, and it was very tasty! I would definitely go back to Tupelo Honey the next time I'm in Lenexa.

After several visits over the years, I've only had their coffee and pastries, not their cafe food. The interior is cute and there's often a queue upon entering to order at the counter, but don't let that intimidate you because it moves fast. I recommend getting some of their water on tap (both still and sparkling water are available) if you have to wait! If you're queer like me, you'll likely be drinking a cold black coffee and they have options! They have a regular cold brew in 3 sizes, a cold brew of the moment / seasonal (ask about it!) and a cold brew shandy for something different. My partner and I got two different cold brews on tap today, the original and the Seasonal Single Origin Honduran one. The single origin Honduran was better, but their original was good too. There's a lot of seating, but it's usually taken up, so I tend to just take my coffee to go. Expect to walk out for around $6ish a cup. They clearly care about providing you a good experience with a strong cup of coffee. Give them a shot if you're in downtown Overland Park!

It's near terrible food definitely doesn't stop people from coming in, again, you are in one of the nicest areas of downtown OP and have limited coffee competition, so I guess food quality isn't your number one concern.
