You can't beat Sunday brunch at First Watch. Such healthy choices. I love our waitress. I've had her before. She is top notch. I had the Bacardi Omelet, lightly dressed greens, and fruit. Seriously good omelet. Stuffed full of yumminess. Their bacon is so Smokey and delicious. Highly recommended. read more

The service was fine, but we waited 15 mins longer than they had said. The ambiance is kind of cool, giving off an older antique cafe. The food was very underwhelming. The poached egg was overcooked for the eggs Benedict, the potatoes were not seasoned and mushy, the toast wasn't toasted and the farmhouse hash didn't really have any substance outside of the dry and mushy potatoes and some weird cuts of avocado. I'm sure there are worse breakfast places out there, but I know there are better places and do not plan on returning to this one. read more

Big fan of their hash here. It brought all these ingredients that I didn't think worked and...bam...delicious. The arugula and cheese sauce were the big surprises. Highly recommend. Had delivered with now issues, but it probably would have been even better at the restaurant. read more

All amazing as usual. Absolutely love this location too. Typically great service. Love that you can check in for the waitlist online before. Tacos were out of this world. Pancakes were perfectly cinnamony and I can be picky about that lol. Loved the pickled onions on the tacos. Holey donuts were crunch but soft on the inside read more

I was treated to lunch by my son Sam, an elite Yelper, at First Watch - Heartwood Preserve -- and it was a lovely experience. Our server (I wish I had caught his name) was patient, kind, and attentive throughout our visit. We both ordered the Morning Meditation juice, which was absolutely delicious. I also had a cup of coffee; unfortunately it lacked flavor, so I added vanilla creamer. I wasn't able to stir it at first because the spoon was dirty, but that was a small hiccup in an otherwise pleasant meal. Sam ordered the Breakfast Egg Sandwich and I chose the Chickichanga. Both were served with the most delicious seasoned potatoes and fresh fruit. We shared bites and agreed the sandwiches were good, though probably not something we'd order again next time. The highlight for us was the blueberry corn muffin with lemon butter -- truly heavenly! The restaurant itself was roomy, bright, and very clean, and all the staff seemed welcoming and pleasant. We'll definitely be back to try some new entrées. read more

Breakfast out is one of my all-time favorite things and while Saturday mornings aren't always the best time to try for it, it worked out for us this past weekend. Nine a.m. and there was no wait at the location across from Legacy. Folks were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We both ordered variations on the bacon and eggs standard -- one with a waffle, one with a pancake, and a side of toast for dipping. Our server asked how we liked our bacon -- what a welcome question! I've never been asked such a thing. My partner said crispy, and I said, not crispy -- but cooked, not raw please. To me, crispy means crunchy, breakable. I like a little flex, but without fat that you still can see through. Does that make sense? Her crunchy looked perfect to me, my not crispyy/not raw was not quite. I need better vocabulary for describing what I'd like. Perhaps crispy is it? Eggs were perfect. Sourdough toast was perhaps passed momentarily over a flame, but not toasted. The strawberry jelly was tasty. The pancake was huge and the warm syrup, a delight. The waffle, very nice and the warm fruit compote very yummy. The coffee also was very nice. Overall, maybe on par or a step above Village Inn -- except for the people. They were rock stars! read more

First Watch is a breakfast staple in Omaha. They have a vast menu with healthier options like chia seed pudding or avocado toast to things more indulgent like bacon, eggs Benedict and pancakes. We enjoyed our meals with no wait for a table on a recent Saturday morning. read more

Service was very nice, quick, and helpful when it came to decision making! The pancake my partner got was huge and amazing, but I believe it was a banana granola crunch. The biscuits and gravy didn't really come out hot, only disappointment. The carne asada hash was pretty good, but there wasn't much carne in my opinion.. more potatoes! Overall everything was good! read more

Terrible service. Took over 40 Minutes for our food. But then we found out she didn't put the order in. They didn't separate the checks properly. Totally screwed up our day. read more

Easily the worst breakfast that I've ever had in the entire Omaha metropolitan area. I ordered the Farmhouse Hash with a tall glass of orange juice. The problems with the hash involved the potatoes, which were very overseasoned. The bacon was tough and tasted like it had been cooked yesterday and warmed up today in a microwave. The orange juice was not freshly squeezed and had a lingering aftertaste. Ugh. The ambiance is cookie-cutter bland, i.e, the decor that you find in all of the chain breakfast restaurants. One star for prompt and pleasant service. read more

Fantastic spot with tons of options and great service. Something for everyone! The ingredients are always fresh and the n season! We will definitely be back! read more

Food here is terrible. Do not order chips & anything. Cold cheese & generic salsa. Server was solid. Looks like a good place to have beers but not to eat. I'm guessing they will be closed in two months. read more

We had breakfast at this location for the first time. Since other First Watch locations are always good, we thought this would be as well, and it was. I ordered my usual Frittata Rustica and it was delicious as expected. The big pile of greens is usually dressed but these were plain, which I actually didn't mind. The toast was still warm since the order came out so quickly. Bookguy ordered items from the chalkboard-- gingerbread donut holes and a steak and bacon breakfast burrito. The serving of donut holes was generous and the dipping sauces added to the flavor. We gobbled them up. Bookguy was not as happy with his burrito because he couldn't taste any steak. It was a generous portion too, so he left some behind. It had good flavor and he enjoyed it, but missed the steak. The coffee today was better than usual, so maybe they changed the brand. Bookguy ordered the citrus hibiscus punch, but he didn't like the dried fruit slice garnish or the sugar-rim on the glass. The drink was very sweet, which suited him. Of course, we'll continue to eat at First Watch. read more

Great quick and easy brunch place! Was in town for a quick weekend and was in the area when I yelped a nearby breakfast/brunch place and came upon this pretty quickly. Easy parking, no wait even on a Sunday at 10:45am. Super great attentive but not annoying service. We sat on the patio on a hot morning and loved it. Delicious breakfast omelette and eggs benedict. The omelette comes with a great portion, fresh greens and tasty bread. Also ordered a side of bacon - always a good idea. They have a huge menu with everything that you could want or be craving. I opted for an iced coffee in the summer heat and absolutely loved it. Refreshing and great flavor. I've seen these chains around and will be back soon I'm sure. read more

This place reminds me of the Pacific Northwest. Fresh, seasonal farm to table. They're a healthier food option for those looking for a light or refreshing breakfast. My first time going to one was in Louisville, KY and second time at this location. Actually came here because of the Louisville location, I enjoyed it so much. I got the breakfast tacos - so much flavor and so good! Pretty filling too! My son got the French toast - he gobbled it up so fast that I can only assume it was good lol. Fiancé got the pancake breakfast. Stop in if you need a break from grease, fat and fried but don't want to give up flavor! Although I'm not one to turn away from those three options either lol! Service is always great, and you can go through Yelp and get on their waitlist early. read more

First Watch - Skillet market ! Very delicious!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Our families go to brunch spot! The menu has everything to fit anyones taste. They have a changing specials menu that always has something that is worth trying. I love the freshly squeezed juices and the extremely large pancakes to start with. My go to is the farmhouse hash that has all my favorite breakfast items: bacon, potatoes, avocado, etc. Served with fruit and toast. The service is always great with kind service and quick service. You definitely get your moneys worth here and would highly recommend for a casual brunch spot! read more

I love the avocado toast, pancakes, and million dollar bacon. Their take out is always perfectly packed and still warm when we get it! First Watch is a Sunday morning favorite read more

The service was outstanding, food healthy and fresh, and vibrant was positive. We enjoyed our experience there and highly recommend!

Popped into First Watch for Sunday brunch. They are exclusively breakfast/ lunch spot open until 2pm. Three of us ordered bfast (Italian Omelet, Bfast Tacos, and Eggs Benedict) and two of us ordered lunch (Roast beef and Havarti sandwich and a southwest chicken salad) Perfect! We all thoroughly enjoyed our choices for the meal. My meal was the roast beef sandwich. It was served on a Parmesan toasted sourdough with melted havarti cheese and roasted onions and tomatoes. Oh my goodness. I have never had a sandwich like that and it was absolutely delicious. First Watch has a couple of locations in the area. I can't speak for the others, but the one here at 168th and Center has good service. Definitely recommend you give this place a try if you haven't already. read more

We were looking for a brunch place to go with our dog for a couple hours and first watch did not disappoint. Once we arrived we got seated immediately outside with our dog. The iced coffee was really good and recommended by my daughter. The hot coffee on the other hand was extremely bitter and nowhere lived up to the hype of the description online or on the menu. Both pancakes were good, however, the banana granola pancake was amazing. We did really didn't like the full slivers of carrot in the carrot cake pancake. The hubs downed the chickichonga, didn't even give me a bite, and said it was fantastic. I am a sucker for eggs benedict, but, kind of wish I went with the classic. The bacon wasn't too great with the acidity of the hollandaise sauce which did have a little too much lemon in it (and I LOVE lemon). However, I really liked the addition of the arugula. The side of potatoes was really good and had a nice crispiness on some of them. One of the biggest downfalls of First Watch was the service. I don't know why, but, our server just was extremely slow. She was slow coming to the table and getting our drink order, she was slow bringing out the drink order, she was slow bringing out the food and checking on us throughout the entire meal. Really, the service is the reason for the one star reduction. Overall, we liked First Watch and might be back in the future if we don't find a better brunch place. Happy eating Yelpers! read more

After learning about First Watch from my buddy Sammy, imagine my surprise when I learned that there was a location less than two miles from my home, and six in the Omaha metro area. Man, this is my kind of spot. This attention to detail restaurant has a delicious looking menu, but of particular interest to me is the Healthier Side section. The first item that grabbed my attention was the Avocado Toast, a basic recipe that has caught my fancy in the last couple of years. With good bread and a fresh and ripe avocado, you need nothing else other than a little salt and pepper. And that's exactly what you get. No need to tinker with perfection. My friendly waitress informed me that the multigrain bread is baked in-house and available for purchase. I kid you not, it's one of the best, heartiest, most delicious breads I have ever had with what appears to to flax seed and other healthy items embedded inside. After I wondered about the nutrition information out loud, my amazing waitress went to the back and snapped a picture for me so I could put it on my phone and take it home. Unfortunately, each slice has 200 calories, so I'll only be buying the bread for a very special treat every now and then. First Watch is very generous with the avocado too, which makes sense for the hearty slice of bread that it is slathered on. I'm sure they must use a full avocado, as contrasted with the half that I use at home. It's at least a half inch thick, maybe more. I also ordered a cup of tomato basil soup, which was easy on the calories and carbs, and absolutely on point. The dish also comes with two perfectly cooked basted eggs, the way my dad used to like them. There are six other items on that section of the menu that I look forward to trying. Listen, it's not easy to find restaurants that are thoughtful enough to provide such an extensive section for healthy eaters. I'd love to see First Watch rewarded with a continuing increased customer base. Bravo! read more

Such a great place to have breakfast! Excellent food and varied comprehensive menu. Love this restaurant!!! read more

I like this place. Well-trained staff and attentive management. The coffee and potatoes are excellent. However, I have issues with the Eggs Benedict. The eggs were medium when they should be very soft, meaning you need to specify how you want them. The Hollandaise is very scant meaning you need to specify how much you want. The restaurant is a tad chilly. I like it that way, but my wife would not have been comfortable. The chill affects the food. By the time I finished, the eggs were cold. They should heat their plates even if to hold them under the hot water faucet. Their cold, heavy ceramic plates literally suck the heat out of the food. I give it four stars because of the promise, but if my breakfast gets unreasonably cold the next time, it will be fewer stars. read more

Stopped by this morning, on my way through town. My waiter was busy but, attentive. He made sure I had fresh coffee and never sat staring off for too long. The egg white and turkey omelet was stuffed with mushrooms, turkey, and onion. I asked for no cheese and it came - with no choose ;-) That's not always the case in other places. Subbed blueberry pancake (I could only eat half! It filled the plate) for toast. The compote was yummy and the pancake, fluffy. I'd definitely recommend! read more

What a pleasant surprise! Unique, healthy and fresh is the best way I can describe this quaint breakfast and lunch spot. Some trendy and some southern comfort items were on the menu the day we stopped in. Our choice was the Roast Beef & Havarti Roast beef, Horseradish Havarti, house-roasted onions and tomato with lemon dressed arugula on grilled Parmesan-crusted sourdough, creamy Horseradish sauce on the side. We added a soup option, tomato basil and Italian wedding were the choices for the day. The menu is the highlight with traditional, Omelets and Frittatas, The Healthier Side, First Watch Eggs-clusives, Power Bowls, Middle Griddle, Sandwiches and salads. Something for anyone and everyone! Bucket list item: Southern shrimp & andouille grits! read more

My wife and our kids had the pleasure of trying out this place last week for breakfast while we were in the area. They were moderately busy but we were greeted by such positive and upbeat staff and seated right away. Our server was amazing and brought an entire coffee carafe over to the table and took our kids order while my wife and decided on our food choices. Between all 5 of us we had a skillet, pancakes, waffles, and avocado toast. The food was cooked fresh to order but came out fast and was absolutely tasty and worth every penny! I cannot wait to go back to first watch! read more

The food and service is always outstanding at First Watch. I love that you can get a salad as a side for breakfast - yes, more veggies please! The serving size and food quality are a good value for the price. Their decor is made for Instagram posts. :) eat here, you won't regret it. read more

We visited first watch for the first time for brunch. We were seated immediately. The service was excellent. The waitress repeatedly checked up on us. I ordered the short rib poutine hash. The flavor was very good. The portion size was just right . My wife, son and daughter all ordered omelets. We were all pleased with the quality and freshness of our meals. The only complaint I would have is that the restaurant was noisy. It was hard to carry on a conversation. We plan on returning in the future read more

YUM. I absolutely LOVE this place. 10/10 would recommend, I feel like a review isn't even necessary it is just THAT good. Like when your grandma makes a triple layer chocolate cake and you have cardiac arrest, kinda good. ATMOSPHERE : They designed this place with such a modern, farmhouse feel. Grey chic wood, knick-knacks that compliment everything, no clutter and no old school, clean colors and awesome hanging lights. Props to the interior designer, you made this place feel warm, welcoming, and inviting. SERVICE : Service was superb, the waitress we had tended to our needs and was on it. She did awesome, no complaints! FOOD : Goodness do I even have to say? Incredible. I got the "Tri-Athlete" omelette with egg whites and tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and bell peppers inside, and a pick de gallo on the side. I also got a slice of bread that was phenomenal, perfectly toasted and had a nice thickness to it, and finally a small cup of fresh fruit to treat your palette. Satisfied me completely!!! The flavors were fresh and rich, I didn't feel heavy after eating it or sick in the slightest. My boyfriend got a banana granola crunch pancake, by far the best pancake I have ever eaten. Great fluff, nice texture, creative elements, mmmmmm, so so good, (better than your grandmas). He also got an omelette with potatoes on the side and toast, which he said was worth coming back weekly for. All in all this place was above and beyond what I expected. It's a versatile place, one you can go to with your friends, bring the whole family, or go on a date. They have an array of options to choose from, all suiting to what you may be hungry for that day. They also have a killer lunch menu, I got the pesto chicken, quinoa, and kale bowl one time and I have never tasted something so good that could be that healthy. Definitely worth it, a reasonable price as well!! Try this place instead of village inn next time, you won't regret it!! read more

What a great find. My husband and I were excited to find this restaurant. The menu is unique and quite inspiring. There is something for everyone. I had the avocado toast with fruit and this was amazing, it was at least an inch piled high with avacado. My husband had the trifecta, one waffle, 2 eggs, and sausage. We both had the morning meditation drink, delicious. The staff was great! My only negative note: it was too cold to sit inside.. When you have to wear a sweater or coat inside during summer it's too cold. When people are crouched over trying to get smaller to get warm, it's s too cold in the restaurant. read more

First time coming here I had heard it was a pretty good spot. I started off with a mimosa made with fresh squeezed orange juice. They bring a little bottle of champagne with so you make your own. I ordered the tri-fecta with a waffle, sausage link, eggs, and added grits on the side. Overall really good food everything was fresh and hot. The waffle was cooked well not soggy and the powdered sugar was a nice touch. Would definitely come back here for breakfast! read more

If you are from out of town DO NOT COME HERE. It took over 2 hours for someone to come ask for our drinks. We just left at that point. We noticed others complaining about their food. Looks horrible. The ambiance is terrible and it looks horrible inside and the staff is rude and not welcoming. Lots of old people with nothing better to do, expect at least 3-4 hours to get your food here. read more

First Watch had an eclectic menu. It's always packed and overpriced. I don't understand the hype.

We went here twice on our trip to Omaha. The first time was just my wife and me. The second time we brought my sister-in-law, her husband, and my father-in-law. I have to say the food and service were very good. Our first time there, I had their "Traditional Breakfast" - two poached eggs, potatoes, link sausages, toast, and jam. I don't remember what Kerrie had but we did splurge on the Million Dollar Bacon (wow). The second time, we all had different things. I tried the Asian Pork Belly Breakfast Bowl. The first time we went there was an off-hour and we were seated immediately. The second time was the height of Sunday Brunch. You can get on their waiting list through the Yelp app, which we did. When we arrived, there was a fairly long line but we only waited a few minutes. Service is fast - they need to move people through but we didn't feel rushed. The food was very good. And, the presentation was nice. (Sorry that I didn't get any pictures...) Everyone seemed happy with their food - no complaints from anyone. On a final note - try the Million Dollar Bacon. No, it is not a million dollars. I think it was about $5. But, crunchy, spicy, sweet - and really, really good. read more

Farm to table fun for brunch. So here is the lowdown first watch is a farm to table restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch items until 230 every day. I have fresh squeeze juice is they have vegetarian and vegan options everything that I had was delicious. I had to make an avocado omelette served with salad greens as a healthy choice option instead of potatoes. I also tried a few bites of their blueberry pancake it was delicious!They get busy so try checking in before hand on yelp. Enjoy! read more

It was a solid...aight. We went with our family of 6 yesterday morning (Monday) to try out this new location for the first time. Having had First Watch on Maple a long time ago, we had some general expectations for this place. Decent food, good service, and a generally cozy atmosphere. I would say this new location hit 1.5 of those 3 marks during our visit. Let's start with the good. The inside is beautiful! New, cozy, inviting, and the perfect atmosphere for brunch. Props to whoever designed and decorated that space, looks like a dream. We were immediately sat in a booth behind the hostess station upon arrival. Our waitress came over and greeted us for drinks. I would say that shortly after that initial greeting, things just went downhill. I'm not sure if they were understaffed, she forgot about us, or maybe didn't care, but we had to flag her down several times to do basic things like 1. Get Water 2. Order our food 3. Ask for syrup with our pancakes. Again, these are pretty standard things for serving 101 but it felt like such a struggle to get decent service. Even the other servers who dropped off our food or walked by our table were more accomodating than her. I also think she lacked knowledge of the menu. I ordered the multigrain pancakes and they looked like standard pancakes (not the darker color of whole wheat and seedy texture I expected) so I asked her if these were the right ones and she told me that "All our pancakes are multigrain". That seems weird that you would advertise multigrain and not distinguish the other are also that in the kids menu, etc. My husband got an omelet and per the picture, looked like it would hash browns but instead got a salad. Again, not mad at all and the salad probably did him good, BUT it the fact she mentioned AFTER THE FACT that you need to "opt in" for the potatoes because salad was standard. When our food was dropped off, it was strange that she only asked my husband how his omelet was....the other 5 of us got food too. Just a lot of little things like that over the course of the meal that really adversely affected our experience. Food just always seems to taste better when there's good customer service. First Watch did not deliver. read more

My go to breakfast restaurant! Their food is always good with friendly customer service. Their food is tasty but on the healthy side so if you want a hearty breakfast you might not be fully satisfied! My favorite location in the Omaha area. They've also taken precautions with COVID-19 and seat parties away from each other and they offer paper menus. Got seated right away. read more

First Watch - The Traditional Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Food is ALWAYS amazing, the only issue we come across is who I'm assuming is one of the managers (every time she is there, there's an issue, anyone else we've talked to is really sweet). We have a CMC which means we get half off at this restaurant. She tried arguing it's only for one meal, the card clearly states not, and today when we went she only gave us half off one meal, instead of 2, keeping in mind we ONLY got 2 entrees, no drinks, nothing else. If you have a CMC make sure your receipt is correct before walking off. I'll make it 5 stars if she's fired, she's on a power trip and I can't imagine how the employees are treated by her. read more
