    "Tri-Fecta" with extra pancakes
    Becky B.

    Food was delicious but what really stood out this visit was the service. Our server built rapport with us immediately and was kind, funny, engaging, and professional without being too over the top. She was born for her job! Hostesses were friendly as well. Blueberry pancakes were on point and eggs were cooked perfectly.

    I went to the First Watch Shawnee location because it was closest to my job. I spent over $34. The meal should have been served hot but wasn't. I ordered a blueberry pancake which the waitress brought out because she didn't want it to be served cold. It was hot and tasty. The other item I ordered was the Proscuitto Toast and it was brought out after a 15-minute wait and was lukewarm almost cold. The waitress stated the kitchen couldn't find the cheese grater. Ugg... Should that have been my problem? I think not. I waited another 15 minutes and had to get up and ask for a to-go box. The waitress rolled her eyes. I've been to the Shawnee location twice and will never go there again. I love First Watch and have received exceptional customer service and delicious hot food at every other location.

    First Watch is not always my go to spot if I am craving brunch. But if I am near one, then I will stop in because I know the food is consistent. But that is not the case at this location. And I am very disappointed. Kale Tonic is a must for me. And the one at this location tastes just as great as all the ones I've been to. For the main dish, I ordered Parma with sunny side up eggs. The eggs were cooked perfectly to my request. However, the entire dish was extremely salty. I almost wanted to return the item back to the kitchen but we couldn't find our server. And they were extremely busy so we didn't want to wave anyone down and be a bothersome. The server came by to ask for our order over 3 times within 20 minutes. Not sure why the rush. My boyfriend's first visit so he had to read each item on the menu. As soon as the food came out, we never saw her again. The restroom is extremely dirty and outdated. Based on the experience I had at this location, I am not sure I will return.

    First Watch is a very consistent restaurant. I love the fact that you can check-in online, it makes getting a table when you walk in easier. Of course the food and drinks are the star of the show. I love the lavender lemonade and I see it has made its way into the menu permanently and I will probably be a fan forever! Lavender is known for its ability to calm the nervous system, lift the mood and even lower blood pressure. No other place is doing this!!! My go-to meal is the chickichanga that comes with potatoes and seasonal fruit, it's only right to get a side of butter grits on the side so I can add some sugar to have them sweet. My partners go to meal is the salmon frittata that comes with a lemon dressed mixed green salad, but got it as an omelette instead. Although, today I think I became a fan of something I MUST try during the fall. The Ham & Gruyère melt which can come with a salad or soup, but I will most likely need to pair it with the tomato basil! I love coming here and have brought everyone from my daughter to my best friends because it's truly perfect for any occasion when you want something fresh and filling!

    First Watch is a predictably good experience. You know there will likely be a wait on weekends, and you know the food will satisfy that breakfast grub craving This place is busy, seems there's always a very short wait 10mins max or so due to quick turnover, it's also a bit of noisier spot with a fairly loud dining area. They have a small patio but it unfortunately doesn't have much of a view besides Shawnee Mission Parkway. However the food is really the selling point and the drink concoctions are always interesting and refreshing, ala Morning Meditation and The Green Machine. Their breakfast foods are reliably good, the skillet hashes and breakfast tacos are my jam and can't recommend them enough.

    I LOVED THIS PLACE. I just had it today for the first time and on our stay in Kansas we came here. Highly recommend. I got the eggs Benedict ( BLT ). All the food we got was amazingly delicious. The service was fast and courteous. The vibe was so chill and felt old school. I love it! The portions are big! Which I loved. For 6 people I paid $149 with tax and tip included. Meals vary prices but they are from ($12 - $17). Very reasonable.

    Service is always great here. Very friendly staff. Food always comes out quickly and they have many healthy options. Sometimes there may be a wait on their busy days but I think it's worth it. Cute farm to table type ambiance. I frequent this restaurant and have never had a bad experience.

    First Watch was a pleasant surprise. The first time we went I checked their wait-list prior to arriving and it was less than 10 minutes. When we arrived the parking lot was full and we had to fight for a spot. I started getting worried thinking that the wait timer was off and we were going to have a long wait before eating breakfast. We finally parked and got inside and there were a few people ahead of us in line, but we put our name in and sure enough we were seated within 10 minutes. The inside is spacious, but still feels cozy and a little rustic. Since it was our first time there I ordered their Trifecta which is two eggs, your choice of breakfast protein and either a Belgian waffle or a multigrain pancake. I was excited for the multigrain so I went with the pancake two eggs over hard and crispy bacon. It was all cooked as I requested and the multigrain pancake I actually had to double check because I thought it was a regular buttermilk pancake. It's actually exciting overall to find a place that has so much of the whole grains to offer because it helps you be healthy while also feeling like you are getting a treat, which I greatly appreciate. We went back for a second visit this last weekend and I ordered their spring special of the crab cake Benedict. It has a ciabatta bun, spinach, a poached egg (I got fried), and topped with a Sriracha hollandaise. It was ridiculously delicious. I really enjoy everything that First Watch offers and it's definitely going to be our go-to breakfast place.

    An above average breakfast experience. Here is what I mean. The service was fast and knowledgeable. Our server responded to our every request professional and expeditiously. She advised us on the best choices for our taste and even took pictures for us. I was impressed! Now let get to the food "it's the presentation for me!" There is something about things coming like in the picture that soothes my heart. It's a work of art and it really sets the mood for me. Finally, the taste; fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Great job!

    Went to breakfast with a group of 22. We let them know well in advance when we were coming. Upon arrival, we had to wait while they set up our tables. Servers were prompt to take drink orders , bringing them out quickly. They then started taking our orders-servers we're very kind and patient with the elders in the group. Surprisingly the food came out pretty fast. I always love their menu for the variety of options. They also had a separate Fall specials menu AND they now offer cocktails!! A limited menu with the standard fare of mimosa and bloody Mary's and a few other options. Food was very good and I did not hear 1 complaint out of the 22!

    Estefany my server was dynamite. Very personable. The Tri-Athleta was lite and VERY filling. I couldn't finish everything and the best part, the entire plate was ONlY 570 calories. Tomorrow I will order another lite dish! TY First Watch, The best Breakfast/Brunch restaurant by far!

    Easy to see why this is a popular brunch time staple in KC. With a large menu of different options, even the pickiest of eaters are sure to leave happy...the million dollar bacon is where it's at #boyswhobrunchkc

It's a lovely restaurant. It seems a bit out of the way with mostly corporate buildings around. The restaurant has a nice modern aesthetic. I like the purple hyacinths hanging from the ceiling in one area. It was very steady for an off time in the afternoon. First, our server Olivia was amazing! Very attentive and we were extra needy this day so I really appreciate her patience. We even dropped food on the floor. Oops! She was so nice about it and cleaned it up immediately. We had customizations and extra requests. No problem for her! She went above and beyond. I hope she sees this because she was such a joy! The food was also very good. We started with the biscuits and one peach compote and one blueberry. Both were yummy. They were traditional drop biscuits and I love a good biscuit! We also had an order of fried green tomatoes on goat cheese grits. You get 4 very large slices. I could only eat one. The grits were yummy but there were not enough of them in relation to the friend green tomatoes. They were also encased by a sauce. I'm guessing a remoulade. I don't really care for remoulade sauce so I'd have removed it had I known it came with the dish. It really overpowered the goat cheese taste in the grits. The tomatoes were very al dente and I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. The dish was still good but my least favorite and I would normally love anything with those ingredients and fried green tomatoes are a favorite so the remoulade (or whatever it was) sauce was a real problem for me. I would definitely get them again without the sauce because they are great otherwise. But that sauce just overpowers every other flavor! I got the chicken tender dinner and others in my party got the bone in fried chicken. Everyone liked their chicken. The tenders were a big size. 4 of them but I hit 2 meals out of them. Everyone liked the Parmesan rosemary potatoes. I really liked the bacon green beans. The only side we weren't impressed with was the Mac and cheese unfortunately. The cheese was not good. We got coffees and a chai. All of them were very good. A bit pricey for the amount you get though. Even with the smaller complaints, I'd still give th a 5 because of the outstanding service and the dishes were overall very good and large portions. We will definitely return and I hope to try out a breakfast item next visit!

    Came here for breakfast. They have a great variety of choices…read more Service is always good. They were busy, but the wait wasn't that long. We like coming here because everytime I read the menu, I discover something else.

Easy to find off of 87th, the space is not huge, but there's plenty of seating, especially at the bar. Daily specials and a happy hour that runs until 6 PM during the week, so there is plenty from which to choose. Burger night (Mondays?) is $2 off the specialty burgers, and I recommend that Diablo Burger if you like a little heat. Sliced jalapeños & pineapple atop a 1/2 lb. burger with a sweet heat sauce, this burger will hit just right. Service is friendly and fast and the prices are right on par with the market. You can get in and out with a couple of burgers and a couple of drinks during special time for around $45 and that's a pretty good deal with a better value to boot. If you have a kid at SM West, then you might make this a pre-game event spot or a place to have refreshments afterwards. Great spot!
