Always a great meal! Don't skip the million dollar bacon and make sure to try the ricotta pancakes. The seasonal specials are awesome as well.

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. I have been a few times in Florida in Texas and I’m glad they are in NJ now. The preserves that come with the meal are excellent as well as the homemade bread. My go to breakfast is the farmhouse skillet. Definitely worth a try.

So healthy the food is so fresh and delicious. Variety of juices. Super busy on Sundays but reasonable time of wait. Service can be better if wasn’t so busy.
There is no host/hostess at First Watch and the "front desk" when they are supposed to be was always empty during out visit. This meant we had to wait about 10 min before a server noticed us standing there for a while and came over to take us to our table. The menu is very limited for lunch options, but food tasted mostly OK. That being said, my wife got very sick after eating lunch at First Watch and had to deal with the effects for about 2 days after our visit. The service was horrible. Only two servers seemed to be working and it was impossible to get their attention. Since no one was manning the "front desk" and since checks have to be paid there, the servers effectively took turns to do that job and were stuck there for 10-15 min at a time. During this time, getting their attention to ask for more water or something else was impossible. There was also zero attentiveness from our server. She did not come over once on her own after someone else brought our food to check on us or ask if we needed anything else. Really a terrible experience. We will surely never be back and suggest others stay away also.

First watch never disappoints. Some days or times are busier than other so expect a wait time, however it is well worth it. I often order the Egg Benedicts and everything tastes fresh. First Watch also has a very inviting atmosphere for all ages. They also have an online waiting list which is often convenient and the staff is always welcoming and attentive. I have also visited First Watch in Fort lauderdale and Miami and the service and food has been consistent. #food #family #fresh #vegan #healthy #eggbenedictsVegetarian options: They have vegetarian options and it is a big menuParking: It is a shared malls spaceKid-friendliness: They have high chairs and kids are welcomeWheelchair accessibility: This is on a first floor so it is accessible. There is a step From the parking lo to the place, but there are accessible sidewalk ramps in each side.

Million dollar bacon is delicious!!I had the Barbacoa Chilaquiles. Very tasty. Didn't have the spiciness of what I'm used to but the flavor was certainly there!

Exceeds expectations for a "chain" breakfast spot. Large menu ranging from indulgent dishes to lighter options. The seasonal specials each month always keep us coming back to try something new. I almost always get the trifecta with a waffle, over-easy eggs, and an upgrade to their "million dollar" bacon which is slow cooked with spicy syrup and a generous helping of pepper. The waffle, although varying in temperature it hits the table at, is always delicious and comes with a dollop of creamy butter and a side of mixed berry compote. My wife's favorites are the chickichanga, the avocado toast, and various seasonal specials.Service is generally good with some servers going more above and beyond than others, they can get very busy on the weekends but I've never had a particularly negative experience.Inside is bright and open, a great place to just relax and enjoy breakfast and morning coffee on a lazy sunday.First watch is a great casual spot for a flavorful and affordable breakfast that we will continue to make the trip to in the future.
