    A bright, airy spot.
    Michael S.

    If you're familiar with the First Watch chain you know it's a popular, airy, and comfortable breakfast and lunch spot that's usually busy on weekends. We got in for Saturday breakfast before the crowd arrived. We had terrific service. Orders came up quickly.

    Water glass with the silverware wrap  "I love you more than bacon." Cute!

    Just meh! We got a table right away on a Sunday morning around 7:20. Service was quick. Wasted quite a bit of money on our overall experience. The featured coffee was disgusting. My teen said it tasted like BBQ sauce and my wife agreed. I couldn't really put my finger on it but it was a huge waste, server didn't even notice that we practically left it untouched. Breakfast sandwich and biscuits and gravy weren't anything to rave about, I actually make a better breakfast sandwich at home. My teenager liked the trifecta and the holey donuts. We haven't been to any of the Firstwatch locations in quite some time and I feel like this visit reminded me why, it just isn't anything special; especially for the amount of money we spent.

    Pecan caramel cinnamon roll

    First Watch has done a great job with this location. While the parking isn't the most ideal, there's plenty of you expand your search to the East of the building. While my family isn't the biggest of constant mask users, it was nice seeing an entire staff wearing a mask still during all of this. It's the first place we've been to in a while with everyone on board with masks. Onto the food. Delicious. We tried some of their seasonal dishes with the cinnamon chip pancakes, their million dollar sandwich, and the pecan cinnamon caramel roll. I will say that all 3 hit the spot. I had the sandwich, and they said it has a bit of a kick, but for me it was pretty tame. Great flavor though. The pancake and roll, very sweet and delicious. Small hiccup in getting my beverage to me, but came out eventually and was also good. Pictured is the dynamite pecan caramel cinnamon roll

    Million Dollar Bloody Mary. It's ok, it was kinda sweet in my opinion.

    Only my second time at First Watch, but this location is very nice and the staff has been very friendly and great experiences. I meant to order a side of biscuits & gravy this time but forgot. Next time. I ordered salmon & veggie frittata, much larger than I expected. All good things, I can always use more aioli on the side for anything. Potatoes are so good here. Bloody Mary was ok, I'll try a mimosa next time.

    the front of a restaurant

    Not Elizabeth putting HER HAND in my face when I walked in & asked her how long the wait was and with an attitude said "Um you need to wait".... To find out the wait. So we did.. she told us that it was 30 min wait and then walked away. I had to stop her and say "So can we be put on the waiting list?" She started talking to someone else & then told me I could AFTER she finished with someone that just walked in. Wouldn't know how great the food could be because we walked out at went to BB's grill 2 miles away.. & would you look at that! No wait & No attitude, & cute girls! Maybe train your people in the front of the house for customer service.. because this was rude & poor.

    Eggs Benedict
    Cynthia M.

    Enjoyed a mid week brunch at First Watch! We were seated and greeted quickly by our server. The menu is large and had the option of breakfast or lunch. I loved the Eggs Benedict - everything came out quickly and yummy!

    Nice restaurant, accommodated our group of 15. In town for our family reunion. It was a 30 minute wait to be seated so check ahead. Food was tasty. Egg salmon fritata with potatoes and bread. Would return if in town...lots to choose from​

    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!

    Super quick service. Big portions. Pancake was slightly overdone and so were my soft poached eggs…read more(ended up more hard poached) but besides that the food was good. Will be back to sample more.

We loved the little set up with a great amount of seating, a clean bathroom, and outlets for people who want to study or get some work done. We were a little hungry and got the empanadas and both tried the Yerba mate. We've never had the traditional yerba mate and were excited we could try it here. Once our order was ready one of the employees was happy to explain to us how to properly drink the yerba mate. She was patient, kind, and professional the whole time. There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later. So, if you're up to trying traditional yerba mate, be aware that you'll get a gradual burst of energy a little later. I personally loved the decor and the atmosphere here. They had little knick knacks you could purchase, a small refrigerator with items to take with you as well. I got a couple of key chains for my sister and myself and my boyfriend and I have already noted that we want to come back here the next time we're in Kansas City!

First thing to note is Cellar Door is SMALL so plan accordingly, you might not get lucky enough to get a table (we were, but we also got there early). You order at the counter and they bring out your food. I had a pastry recommended by my friend an the cauliflower wrap. I'm still dreaming of the wrap to be honest. The cauliflower was perfectly roasted, the sauce was divine, and the bread? Holy cow they clearly make it in house - so delicious. My friend sent me home with a babka which was also stellar. Can't rave about this place more - just go here if you're in the area. I can't wait to return.
