Restaurant Review: First Watch

I wouldn't normally do two "restaurant reviews" so close together, but I felt that First Watch deserved some love, so here we are. The 13 Best Breakfasts in KC was put on hold when Venesia came to our lives. Honestly, money is better used in other ways now, but I'm hoping to finish out the list this year! As something to tide you over, I have a short brunch review of First Watch. There are a few locations around Kansas City, but this is actually a national chain. Luckily, it's one of those chains that you can't tell is a chain because they use locally sourced products and each restaurant is quaint and charming.

For this visit, we went to the location off of Southwest Trafficway near Westport. It was a Sunday morning around 8:00 and we walked in and were given a table immediately. I liked this place already. We ordered coffee and juice and took a moment to look over the menu. I had been to FW before, but it was when I was gluten-free, so I hadn't looked at most of the menu options.

The two dishes that we ended up ordering are listed in order:
1. Eggs Benedict - Turkey and Avocado: Two poached eggs atop a toasted English muffin piled high with turkey and avocado covered with hollandaise. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes.
2. Bubba's Benny: Our house-made biscuits sliced and covered with sausage and over-easy eggs. Topped with savory turkey sausage gravy. Served with fresh, seasoned potatoes.

 

Both dishes were delicious, but I enjoyed the Turkey and Avocado Eggs Benedict more because it felt like such a light, fresh dish. I love avocado on anything, so that may have had something to do with it. I also think that their seasoned potatoes are worth mentioning because HOLY COW THEY ARE GOOD.

We had a great experience and really fantastic server who chatted with us about the Chiefs game and more. I would definitely recommend that you go try First Watch!
