12 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Newark

“We went there for my birthday, and it was a wonderful breakfast! Food was delicious, the only problem we had was coffee - it was not hot, but still tasted good. I wish they had something for a birthday, like a coffee and a small piece of cake, that would be very nice.“

“We’re frequent customers at the Montvale, New Jersey, store, but this was our first visit to the Christiana (Delaware) First Watch. Spectacular food and spectacular hospitality from our server, Vanessa! I always get the ‘Traditional’ breakfast and a blueberry pancake. So yummy! My wife loved her ‘Farmhouse Skillet Scramble’! Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert“

“I've been going to the other First Watch for years but so glad this one opened up!! The food is incredible and the servers have been pleasant each time I've gone so far. They have limited time food and drinks, pictured is the Blazing Dragon which is very yummy!!“

“Amazing food, homey environment, great prices and sociable, accommodating staff. Once again, great food.“

“When I first came in I was warmly greeted by two great staff members. One or both may have been the owner. I was given the rundown of a pretty great menu with two really great sounding avenues: breakfast meat options with home fries and eggs, or something like a double sausage on a roll for lunch. Boom. That's what I got. Really nice diced onions and green peppers which were sauteed then placed on the bottom of the bun first, then I had them add spicy mustard and the sausage links went on top of it all. I loved this technical approach because it makes the eating experience not-messy and very nice. We've all had hot dogs where the toppings are stacked on top and fall off with every bite. That's not how this was. Well considered! The sausage was really flavorful and wasn't dry or too salty. there was a great snap to the casing of the sausage and the ends/tips of the sausage were satisfyingly crunchy from a great cook. The whole experience was a good one and I absolutely will be going back. I think the price, portion, and quality was excellent, too, for less than $10 -- you can't find that these days. The only improvment: might be to grill/toast the inside of the bun a little more, but that's extremely nitpicky and not required. I can't wait to do their breakfast-y platters next. If they're scrapple and bacon is the same quality as the sausage, this place is going to be a no-brainer when I come to Newark, Delaware once or twice a month to go to Days of Knights Games or Captain Blue Hen Comics. I actually live in Maryland and the drive is about 25 or 30 minutes, but I'm telling you, it's worth it! Main Street, and Helen's, rules. 5/5“

“Wonderful service, fast, so attentive—and HOMEMADE FOOD. As a college student, this is the most affordable ($5-10/meal & $2-3/drink—total $60 for 5 people today) and best tasting. There are dishes here you can’t get anywhere else (or cook yourself). Also the best bacon!“

“Love this place. Always good. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong!“

“just had lunch and ordered a few things. our food came out swiftly and everything was cooked to perfection. the restaurant was quiet, but peaceful. Kevin was our server and made us feel extremely welcome. he was super attentive, efficient, and just overall very kind. highly recommend requesting his service when dining at IHOP on Capitol Trail.“

“I haven't been to a waffle house in years. Our server Tara was really nice. The food was ok. My son had a breakfast scramble, he daid it was good and it looked good. Ordered a blueberry waffle and instead of spreading it out only in the center. The seating is very cramped. All around eating with family was pretty good.“

“Very friendly staff, quick service, delicious food!“
