F1RST Restaurant Reviews
F1rst Restaurant never disappoints! If you’re a foodie and haven’t yet discovered F1rst, you owe it to yourself to experience this gem! Highly recommended!
A Hidden Gem in Hawthorne F1rst, a cozy BYOB nestled in Hawthorne, NJ, is a delightful surprise. The unassuming exterior belies the culinary excellence within. Our recent dinner with neighbors was a testament to the restaurant's charm.
The star of the show was undoubtedly the pork chop. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The bolognese, rich and hearty, was another standout dish. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the sauce was simply divine.

Such an incredible restaurant! The food is outstandingly delicious; super fresh and flavorful! The menu is decently small but don't get discouraged because they rotate specials. At F1rst dessert is a MUST! Staff is on-point and wonderful! I cannot recommend this place enough!
