I fell in love! I came in for brunch and the brunch is amazing. First mile pancakes are must try! There is a bar and comfy seating. I had a great experience and the food was delicious. The owners wife was also very friendly and helpful. She gave us some information about the restaurant that we wanted to know. Overall I’d definitely recommend giving this restaurant a visit!

Food was hot, nicely seasoned, and delicious. We ordered the chimichanga, avaocado toast, and wake and break. We both enjoyed our food immensely. Laken was our server. Laken did absolutely amazing. Caring, knowledgeable, and just the sweetest server ever. Laken made sure our drinks stayed full, that our food was to our liking, and has a wonderful personality. The atmosphere was bright, friendly, and the music was just right were we didn't have to speak loudly and when we wanted to hear the music we could. Great choices in music. I've been here multiple times, but this was my daughter's first time. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food with a comfy atmosphere. We met a couple of friends here for dinner. Service was excellent! The food was good. I say this because for the prices it wasn’t anything spectacular. Don’t get me wrong again the food was very tasty and cooked to our liking. However, I had a Ribeye steak. Again well seasoned, perfectly cooked to medium like I asked. But I have had the same quality steak at Longhorn Steakhouse for a lot less than 52.00 I still recommend this place! Like I said the food was delicious, the drinks were well prepared the service was prompt and friendly. All in all it was a great dining experience. If you do choose to dine here I will say it is on the expensive side of things.

Nice place to go and the food was good. I would oy make one change to my order. I got what I think was called brunch burger. It was really good except the biscuit bun was not my favorit I want to go back and get it on an original bun. I am.not a biscuit guy though so keep that in mind for a biscuit person it would have been perfect. I knew that but wanted to try it as it came the first time.

This was the single best meal I have treated myself to, and the single best display of customer service I’ve experienced. Kira was an absolute gem. Funny, personable, knowledgeable. Every recommendation was spot on. So kind. Drinks were delightful. Lobster deviled eggs were perfectly balanced. My filet was flawlessly cooked. Spring for the blue cheese crust. Honestly, spring for all the little add-ons. Treat yourself. The lemon butter cake was also divine and delightfully salty. Again, best damn meal of my life.

This morning I was deciding where I could go to brunch by myself, and it not be so packed when I got there. The decision was made to try First Mile Kitchen. This is my initial visit here, and brunch was probably something I should have done on my next visit. Anyway, everything was pretty good for what it was. The Carnitas had a really good flavor, with almost like a hint of sweet BBQ sauce. The onions were pickled perfectly with a sweetness to them and the vinegar wasn't over powering. The avocado and tomato is exactly what they are, avocados and tomatoes. Nothing special. At least they were fresh. The FMK hot sauce sprinkled on this dish really wasn't spicy at all, and I could barely taste it. All in all, everything was good, just not great. Reminds me why I like Homegrown so much. I do want to come visit First Mile Kitchen some other time, just hopefully when they're serving dinner. Stopped by First Mile Kitchen for lunch today. Last time I was here, was for brunch. It was good, but I really wasn't impressed, so I figured I'd give them another try. I ended up ordering the Sweet Chili Chicken Sandwich. It was beyond my expectations. The actual chicken on it was hand battered and literally a chunk of chicken breast. I especially liked the sweet chili sauce. It had that right amount of kick and was packed with flavor. The pickled onions were just the icing on the cake. And of course it came with homemade chips that I'm a sucker for. My new favorite place for lunch is you guessed it, First Mile Kitchen. The sandwiches on the menu are first class, and average about 15. Today I ordered the Chicken Bacon Club. The chicken was grilled, which is fine but I kinda thought that if it was fried, it would have made the sandwich a ton better. Not saying it was bad or anything, it was actually pretty darn delicious. The bread was toasted and lightly buttered which was perfect in my opinion. Bacon had the perfect crispness to it, and the mayo kinda had a little Dijon flavor to it. All in all, I really enjoyed this sandwich, and look forward to trying more items on their lunch menu.

What a fantastic find while traveling through Kansas! My group of four selected this place for dinner and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was great, service was awesome! Took a few minutes to decide on the appetizers. We chose the Deviled Eggs & the Ploughman’s Plate. Only to find out they couldn’t fulfill the Ploughman’s Plate . That’s when one of the group selected the Bone Marrow. That was a first for me to try out but really it was quite tasty. Everyone had a different taste in mind for dinner, Meat Loaf, Steak, Salmon and my choice of Lobster Spaghetti. Everyone was totally satisfied with their selection! We passed on dessert since the group had something else in mind. Whether you live in Wichita or just passing through this was a great option for dinner!
