First Watch

This was our second ever visit to a First Watch, we absolutely hated it after visiting the Leesburg, Virginia location. After hearing everyone out here talk about how it’s amazing out here, we gave them a second shot. Food was great and so was the atmosphere. Kids enjoyed their food, it was nice to get pancakes and eggs that were cooked all the way through. Only change I’d make or suggestion I’d have is that they have a crispy potatoes option and have them crisp it a bit better. We asked for crispy potatoes and they were cooked too high and they were more burned than crisped. Even with that, I’m giving them a higher rating between the 4/5 star divide. We’ll be back for sure.

It all starts with service. Our waiter claimed to have worked there for 10 years, but every time we ask for anything, he made us feel like we were bothering with a question he repeated 3 times "does anyone want anything else also while I am getting X ?" Atmosphere is usually good, but service like that downgrades it Presentation of the food was great.

Met up with my sister here on Monday morning around 10:30am, and there was a lot of seating available. The restaurant is very clean! For drinks, we each got charged for a bottomless coffee & drank waters. For food, we split the million dollar bacon strips & cinnamon spice churros, which are both worth their price! I also ordered a side of the biscuit & gravy, and the fresh, seasoned potatoes. I would’ve ordered a chicken fried steak if they had it on their menu, but ended up ordering more appetizers & sides instead to get the kind of meal I wanted. Including tip, we each spent just under $30 for our food & drinks. Even though it wasn’t super busy, it did take awhile to get our drink refills, even though our server was very friendly! I’d definitely come back to this location.

I believe our waitress's name was Paulina and she was fabulous. This place has AMAZING food, the service fantastic, did I mention the food is AMAZING. I had the TRADITIONAL Breakfast 2 eggs over medium., Potatoes and pork sausage links with toast. The jam (fresh and delicious) Mmmm hmmm! So flavorful. If you haven't been you MUST go! The environment is so welcoming. Best breakfast place I've ever been to in Omaha.

My husband and I shared an order of the million dollar bacon which is my most favorite thing on the menu- it is sooooo goooood! He got the Bananas Foster French Toast and really liked it. He also got a side of the chicken apple sausage but it wasn't very flavorful. I got the Tropical Sunrise beverage and it was delicious. I got the grits and they had a very distinctive flavor unlike any other grits I've ever had but they were good.
