We have been to quite a few First Watch restaurants across the US and now, we can add Nebraska. The interior is like all the others; industrial but not cold...more homey. Our server, Jocelyn, OUTSTANDING! She was cheerful, friendly, yet professional. The food...as at all the others where we have eaten...delicious! And THAT is what we enjoy the most and the reason we seek this eatery out, it IS consistently yummy!!! Go and have a Purple Haze for me!! read more

Super slow service...30 min wait...for eggs and pancakes ...while all surrounding tables were served in10 min. (Yes I was timing it). Order wasn't correct when it finally got to the table but by then we were afraid sending it back would be a longer wait. The waitress acted offended when we asked why everyone else was served and we were still waiting. She gave an offhand response about Asking the manager if they would do something.... Which didn't happen. read more

The food was absolutely excellent, with great flavor and big portion sizes. I got the morning meditation for a drink, chimichurri steak, and egg hash, food allergy-friendly, and made sure my order was free of cross-contamination, along with quick, polite service from our waitress. Inside looks very nice and well-kept, with plenty of decor. read more

Arrived at First Watch, checked in and was told it would be 35-40 minutes, checked with them again and was told another 15-20 minutes, checked in again and was told another 24-30 minutes. They were taking larger groups and kept pushing back on groups of 2-3. Not a good way to handle business, we finally just left! read more

Fun place with modern rustic style. Staff were pleasant and welcoming. I enjoyed the potatoes and the coffee was awesome. Kale tonic was decent but too much ice for the price. I would go to First Watch again and am willing to try other locations based on my experience here. read more

Good breakfast and service. The restaurant was clean and quiet for a mid week breakfast. My husband had the traditional breakfast with bacon. I tried the steak and egg hash. Both were good. I also tried the kale tonic juice which they make in house and it was really good. Very fresh and a nice balance of fruits and veggies. read more

First Watch is a great and easy place to go for a good breakfast or lunch. They're in a great location, there's lots of parking, they offer multiple different ways you can order their food and the service is pretty good. I would say most of the time my food and drinks are pretty good and service was pretty good too. I've ordered online as well and my food is always ready in a timely manner. My favorite dish to order is the Power breakfast quinoa bowl,Protein-packed quinoa, Italian sausage, house-roasted Crimini mushrooms and tomatoes, kale, Parmesan and EV00. Topped with two basted cage-free eggs, and the A.M. superfoods bowl. I can order these numerous times and still be satisfied. One of the times I've come here they forgot to give me my drink order so after we finished our meals she gave it to me in a to go cup at no charge which was nice. The most recent time I've come here I ordered the power breakfast quinoa bowl and it came without the Italian sausage. It was disappointing when I first took a few bites because the salty taste from the sausage really balances out the sundried tomatoes and the mushrooms, I let the server know and it was brought out in a little portion cup. Overall First Watch is a great place to have lunch or breakfast if you're looking for a variety of menu options, including healthier choices. But just be aware that the servers and cooks may miss something every once in awhile so a kind reminder is always helpful. read more

Great food and friendly staff! Clean restaurant and we had an amazing server. He was so attentive to our needs! Will definitely be back!!

The current management has no idea how to staff for a holiday. Additionally, after waiting for 35 minutes, we watched 3 parties who came in after we did, get seated before us, then we were told we were still 7 parties down on the list and it would be 20 minutes or more. We had to leave, as my Mom is diabetic and needed to eat. The food might be great, but if you can't sit down, you can't find out. read more

I have gotten bad about not taking photos... next time perhaps! (I did get a few) I don't even know where to start. We were in town a bit after lunch time but a little before they closed. Due to medical reasons I was looking for a healthier place to eat than our norm. We decided to try First Watch. We walked in and were greeted with a smile. The restaurant was almost empty aside from a few tables being used. The decor is farmhouse, welcoming, and well lit. My mom and I both had the 2 for you special. 1/2 Monterey club sandwich and 1/2 chicken Avocado chop salad. My daughter had the multigrain chocolate chip pancake. The food was fresh and delicious!! Vanessa, our server was friendly and knowledgeable. She brought us samples of their made in house juices just for us to try. We ended up getting one of each just about. Quality food, quality service!! We will be back!! read more

Cool style (except for brand and name) Great food. Had the breakfast tacos - can't wait to try more. Server out us in odd spot but the waiter noticed abs gave us a better table for our group size. They were fast and friendly. Coffee comes in mini-pourers so that's cool too. read more

I'm from out of town and my first time in Nebraska. Stumbled upon this place because I have a friend that lives here and she suggested this restaurant. Walking in, everything looks amazing! Love the interior, it's very barn farm. The service and staff is super friendly, greets you when you walk in and is sat down fast. When we ordered, the food comes out super fast, only took 5 minutes! I was super impressed and amazed at how fast it came out. The food tasted delicious! I highly recommend getting the BLT Benedict if you like bacon and hollandaise sauce. It is super busy on the weekend but definitely worth the wait!! Thanks for a wonderful brunch spot if I come back here again!! read more

The best waffle I've ever had! The berry compote is added in with most of the waffles, pancakes or French toast and it's always 10/10. I always crave this place and the staff is always so attentive & nice! The hostess that's usually up front is always so bubbly and just a ball of sunshine to see when we come in! My boyfriend got the French toast and I got the trifecta with the caramel crunch iced coffee. LOOOOOVE! The best breakfast spot in Omaha in my opinion! read more

Admittedly, I wasn't too excited going here based off the other restaurants in the area that I've visited. I was pleasantly surprised about the positive dining experience in this branch. The staff were friendly and attentive. And although we played it safe with our order, it was still better than your average traditional breakfast platter. The Million Dollar Bloody Mary was good, but it could definitely use some more garnishing. read more

My husband and I met a friend for brunch a few Sundays ago. I went out of my norm and grabbed the Watermelon Wake-Up instead of coffee and the Mexican Street Corn Hash instead of my other option bananas Foster pancakes. The juice was fresh and delicious for a nice change. The hash was very good, but I guess I wasn't in the mood for it like I thought I was. I tried a bite of my friends banana Foster pancakes and wish I would have ordered it to quench my sweet tooth needs. The food was hot and fresh tasting. Plenty for one person easily with the corn, pan fried potatoes, cheese, eggs, avocado and seasoning. Overall very tasty and would recommend it. Our server didn't tend to us too much which was nice for conversation but not when you want refills. The restaurant wasn't too terribly busy when we were there but hoping with a waitlist when we left. read more

Great, friendly service and a fun place for breakfast. The food was okay. I got the Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy with Eggs. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Seasoned potatoes were incredibly salty. The biscuits were not good, not light and fluffy, and the gravy was also salty. Coffee is also on the weak side (but they leave the pot at the table so you can have as much as you want.) I'd probably try a different order next time. And the service, as I said was incredibly friendly and food served quickly. read more

The food is amazing, and service was fantastic! We were seated quickly and atmosphere was energetic.

I'm a meat and eggs breakfast guy so when my wife wants to go to fancy restaurants for brunch I'm hesitant. To start off the restaurant was nice, but it's not the type of restaurant I typically chose. My Bloody Mary was very good, and the fancy bacon piece was a nice touch. I went with something I usually don't get which was my fault. The summer menu peaked my interest, and I ordered the egg enchilada thing (can't remember the name). It was huge and full of meat, cheese, and a whole lot of other stuff. The fried potatoes were probably the best with the seasoning and the fresh fruit. Service was hit or miss because our server took our order, checked on us when we received our food, and delivered the check. My wife waited a while for a refill of water which was disappointing. I'm willing to try again but will go for meat and eggs...nothing fancy. read more

Twice on our visits we ate here this trip. The server was terrible somehow we got him both times. Orders were wrong, food missing asked for potatoes with my omelette and got a salad. Missing million dollar bacon and pumpkin pancake never came. What food we got was good but bad attitude by waiter. He was just terrible and rude. This is our last time we go here. read more

I don't know why anyone would give this place anything below 5 stars. Maybe for there super fast service? For their fast seating? Maybe how nice the staff is? Maybe for how good the food and drinks are? I've been to this place over 3 times now, trying something different every time. I've been impressed and satisfied every single time. I'm currently pregnant and it's really hard to get me to eat anything. Definitely our go to place. We've been coming here so often the owner even gave us complimentary drinks!!! Since the first visit he made sure we had everything we needed and made sure we were satisfied. Definitely the best breakfast place. You must try!!!! See you guys soon! read more

We love to grab breakfast for lunch and First Watch - either this one or the one in Bellevue are usually a sure bet for a good meal. Unfortunately, that was not the case when we went to dine on a weekend. Service was okay, but our food this time was under par. I got the Classic Breakfast and asked for my eggs to be poached. They came out a little less than hard boiled. My wife's breakfast was simply, just some scrambled eggs and bacon with side of toast, but when the eggs come out and they are not scrambled -literally you had egg whites on one side and yellow on the other. I am not sure how they did it, but we took pictures. When we checked out and the cashier asked how my meal was, I said the cook got a bit carried away with preparing our eggs and rather than inquire as to the issue, the young man at the cash register totally ignored the comment and went on about his business. Not what I would consider in any way good customer service. Disappointing overall. read more

I had walked in for lunch one day at closing, but vowed to come back for breakfast. So my daughter and I did just that on a Monday morning. We were seated immediately by a sunshine host and then greeted immediately by our peppy waiter! After talking and FINALLY deciding to share, since I do t eat much and she was leaving town, we decided on the breakfast tacos and the banana granola pancake. HOMY FLAVOR EXPLOSION. I had asked for hot sauce because, well, everywhere I go, you need it for flavor! It stayed OFF of these tacos. We did t need it. We were so pleased with the meal! My husband and I went back the following Saturday and each had a fresh juice and a special on the menu, along with the lemon ricotta pancakes. (I thought I had gotten photos, but I must have forgotten). That meal was even better than the first and service was first class at 10:30am on a Saturday! I am impressed with this place! read more

Nom nom nom. My husband has been raving about the lemon ricotta pancakes at First Watch and finally got me to tag along. They did not disappoint. I also ordered the Elote hash and LOVED it. Servings were giant, though, so plan accordingly. Pro-tip: for busy days, you can put your name on the list online while you're still at home so you don't have to wait a ton when you get there. Considering this is my husband's third day in a row at First Watch, I'm sure we'll be back and I have no protest there. read more

This is our go to breakfast place! The service and food is always fantastic! Love that they serve greens in place of the potatoes. The Floridian french toast is a family facility favorite!

Great little breakfast and brunch set up in Papillion! Its modern, clean, affordable, and has great food options. The choices are interesting and basic, but all around not something to be intimidated by, by all of the choices. (new restaurants can have that affect at times) It'll be easy to find something for your pickier eaters, and something for the kids as well. They have most things you could want from your local cafe, greasy to healthy, and all of the above. The juices they offer are fresh, and have a very earthy flavor to them. Not from concentrate. 10/10, definitely returning regularly! read more

Wife woke up from surgery and wanted pancakes from First Watch so that's what she got! Lemon Ricotta for her and blueberry for me. Cooked to perfection. Million dollar bacon and sausage to accompany and hot coffee to wash it down. Hot food and tasty, very clean establishment and quick service with a smile and friendly conversation. Server Tad was awesome. Best wishes for speedy recovery to my wife on the way out. Best restaurant experience yet in Omaha. read more

Parents brought me here as they are frequent and avid fans/customers. To start with the "handicapped" parking area wasn't shoveled so my mother wasn't able to get out of car safely. So we adapted and managed to get inside okay. Parents ordered one of the favorite dishes. I had the Traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs and pork sausage. The meals weren't served at same time. My mothers waffle wasn't even warm enough to melt butter. My meal was luke warm at best. My fathers was brought out about 5 mins later and it too was luke warm at best. Mom had her waffle remade since they didn't have a microwave. Was told it would be another 8-10 mins. Came out in five which was nice. So overall not a great experience. read more
