I've always wanted to try this place and I'm happy my first time was here in Kansas City. I loved the location and the manager Sunny was amazing! Food was great and the drinks were so good we had extra to go! Only downside is we felt a little rushed because our waiter brought us our receipt not even 10 mins after getting our food it seemed like, so we felt rushed but still I enjoyed the experience!

Had a very enjoyable breakfast here having ordered the french toast and some seasoned potatoes. I understand normally there's a wait as this spot is very popular but when I arrived there was no wait. The dinning area seemed to be very noisy, so If you're a person who can't take loud over stimulating environments maybe opt to eat outside on their patio is a good alternative. Our server Niqky took very good care of us with a packed area.

amazing atmosphere. make it possible to sit outside and eat because it’s so much better. food is delicious. just don’t like how it’s $20 for that coffee i had just for it to be filled with only ice. but other than that delicious. we enjoyed it.

I have not been to my first watch in many years. Because they took away the breakfast that I like the most. I went there the other day because my son in law really likes the place and I found out what i've been missing. They have totally different menu than what I remember and the food is excellent. I will definitely be back.

First watch is always been favorite place to have great breakfast. With friends and family. This location is very neat and cool. Old style feel of the place. It was quite packed. We reserve our table online. I think it’s the best if one doesn’t want to wait longer. Since it was cold and rainy.
Waffles were fluffy and great with syrup and some jam.

First Watch is First Rate. My daughter, my wife and I ate breakfast here a week ago for Sunday breakfast. Our waitress was Audrey if I remember correctly. We ordered a little bit of everything to try including food and drinks. Everything was so delicious we even came back a few days later and tried other dishes. The breakfast tacos were surprisingly good with the wheat corn tortillas. I loved the oatmeal and cinnamon chip muffin. French toast and waffles were average. Bacon, eggs, breakfast potatoes, and toast were really good. I can't remember all the names of the drinks but the only one we didn't try was the kale one. All the rest were so good. We will definitely be back again.

I love trying new things so places with seasonal menus are my favorite! You just have to try the strawberry tres leches. their fresh juices are always good

It has officially become a tradition. We spend the night in KC and look for a First Watch to begin the day. This time we ordered the Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict and the Chickichamga. The service once again was great, as was the flavor and portions. We will continue to add First Watch to our breakfast or brunch plans wherever we can find one.

The food and ambiance provide the perfect environment for a heartfelt reconnection. When my friend and I walked in, there was some tension between us; however, as a warm-spirited server greeted us, the mood quickly shifted. With every succulent bite, we were able to talk through things. The bacon was perfect; the ricotta cheese pancakes were flavorful and filling. Every about the space made us feel at home. I am grateful for the existence of spaces like this one.

And we're back! Excellent breakfast before we hit the road. As I was not driving, I tried out the Honey Caramel Crunch iced coffee; very satisfying. The kids loved the french toast and my hash was FANTASTIC!!
June 2022 Westport KC location (4/5). Really lovely autumn menu, everything was very good! Donut holes, amazing. Short rib in special omelet melted in your mouth. Millionaire's Bacon was unevenly cooked. Service was acceptable.

Everything looks good on the plate, but is bland when you eat it. To have a “brunch” menu, you really need mimosas, which they don’t offer. The bacon “million dollar bacon” would have been great if it was plain bacon, but the syrup just covers up the delicious bacon taste. Bottom line, if you enjoy the idea of food, but prefer blandness, this is the place for you. Wasn’t bad, but will never be a choice I make to dine here again.

Just left there a few minutes ago and was really disappointed in service. I walked in and there was no one at the hostess station. I waited for several minutes, and just getting ready to walk out, when a server seated me. Another wait at the table for a server to acknowledge me. Finally placed my order-nothing that required any special preparation. It was about 17 minutes before I received my order. I noticed another table across from me with three people who received their order in less than 10 minutes. I was by myself. When it came time to pay, the manager took my payment. I was waiting for him to ask how my meal was but instead he only asked if I wanted a receipt. No real personal interaction from him at all. I would have discussed my experience but he did not seem interested. Food was good...just really lacking on the service side. Also, do you need to order coffee to automatically get water? I noticed all of the tables around me had bottles of water but I ordered a soft drink. I had a glass on the table just never offered water.

We stayed in Westport and this place was right down the road. This place has wonderful fresh home cooked breakfast. Highly recommend.

Excellent Food, season menu, service and atmosphere. Hands down best breakfast spot in the midtown.

I am not from Kansas City, but was invited to have breakfast while I was there on a trip. So this was my first time at First Watch. We arrived before there was a crowd. The four of us was seated very quickly. The waitress was very nice. We ordered and it took about 40 min for our food to come and it was cold. We ordered eggs and potatoes nothing that should have taken that long. I didn’t have a good experience at all. They took $4 off our bill because of it being cold!?!?! Maybe it was a bad morning to go. I’m not sure but was very disappointed.

Just discovered the website..sorry for the delay.
MY review is not very good. Been to First Watch many times and love the service and food. Great new look too. However, towards the end of January l went with a friend for breakfast. We ordered and was waiting for our food. However a scary incident happened. The kitchen server was bringing our food and sneezed as he started from the back....he stopped wiped his nose ...while holding our food. I'm looking at him do this from my table. He sees me staring and returns to the kitchen..passes the food to our waitress and she attempts to serve us. I told her no way do we want that food that guy just sneezed on it and now you are serving it to us..take it back. Soon the manager came out and ask us about this situation. I explained to him. He said they could place a new order and he would cook it. We were too disgusted too trust him. We got up and left.
Went to the restaurant in Mission KS. The hosts and waitress were very pleasant and nice. We finally had breakfast and felt better.
Don't think I will go to Westport..
Totally grossed out...

The first time we came in, it was a very busy morning. The drinks and food came very slowly, and the service could have been way better. But as a line cook in two busy KC restaurants I can completely understand being overwhelmed and I gave this place the benefit of the doubt. Fast forward two weeks... we decided to give FW a second chance. It was much slower and it still took our food a while to come out. We noticed a few orders go out before ours even when we placed ours first. And when we got our food, it was incorrect. Our server was very inattentive and didn't check on us until we were almost done eating. I don't know, I don't hate this place I just feel like service could be a little bit quicker. I don't have time to loaf around in a restaurant for an hour, so for that reason I probably won't be back.
Nicholas Ogram
Amazing food very friendly staff and if you have an issue with deciding take recommendation from the staff they know what's good.
Nina Kimble
Food was very tasty and the menu had so many yummy options it was hard to choose. Our waitress was a little forgetful in bringing cups and other things but I would still visit again.
Wonda Manney
We waited beyond the recommended time to be seated only to be told we were texted of which we did not receive. We were sitting right next to the hostess stand so why no attempt to call our name was made is beyond me. They seemed to be under staff it took a while before our order was taken because our waitress was busting tables and taking orders. Our waitress forgot one of our drinks and condiments she then continued to bust tables so our food took longer than we’re accustom to at 1st Watch. When we received our food we realized it was not the same quality of food we're use to receiveing at the 119th Street location...that included presentation, temperature and taste. We have vowed not to return to the Westport location but will continue to patronize the 119th Street location.

I’m so disappointed. I love First Watch in general but every time I come to this one, I get crap service. I waited 10 min today for a server to even notice me so I finally left. Many servers walked by me but no one stopped. I’ll just keep going to The Corner Restaurant from now on. �

We really enjoyed our breakfast - great food and efficient, friendly service. Thanks much!

Discovered this little gold nugget last time at a concert in KC. We were staying near Old Westport and First Watch was withIn walking distance. Friendly staff, very tasty food, and reasonable prices. Make this one of your regular stops.
