First Watch — Restaurant in Lenexa

Not their best location at all, honestly probably their worst and we have been to almost all of them in the KC Metro. Food was either overcooked, undercooked or if you are really lucky it came with a big black hair in it. 🥴 Service is terrible, waited almost 10 minutes before our server came and greeted us, she wasn't very friendly at all. When we sent our food back because the power bowl was overcooked the egg was brown and the quinoa was mushy she just said “ok cool” and walked away. No apologies, no offer of getting a new meal, manager nothing. Just an “oh cool” and walked away.

Took 20+ minutes for our food to come out after we ordered. This is not the standard for First Watch at all. If you want a good First Watch with good service and food go to Olathe on 119th and Strange Line.

I do not recommend the 95th...

As always the food was tremendous. Service however, left so much to be desired. Not an exaggeration, drinks took more than 10 minutes (1 Coke, 1 Lemonade, 1 coffee). From the time we finally received drinks, the food was delivered less than 90 seconds later. Would completely understand if it was crazy packed, but a bit frustrating as the server was hanging out with other servers. Refill had to be requested only after drinks sat empty for over 5 minutes. I know this is a lot about drinks, but this is the one thing in the servers control, if that can't be met, the rest of the meal struggles.

The food is always exceptional, but the service will keep us from returning, there are too many options in the area that can exceed...

Love the First Watch in Chicago so thought I would try the one here while visiting Kansas.

Solo dined at the bar. Pomegranate Sunrise was premade and not great… Bacado plate was great.

What really tanked my experience was the service. There was only one couple (already eating) when I arrived at the bar. No bartender or server anywhere in sight. When Amber finally came, the other couple was checked on, then counter wiped, a sip of water and the patio checked before I was acknowledged.

I placed my order and that was the end of service. No water offered, not even the reminder that silverware is in the mason jars, no “how is your food”. Definitely a training...
