Food was delicious. Great vibe and the servers are excellent. Get there early the place is packed.
I’ve been coming to First Watch since it opened in Union, NJ and I love the food. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and I especially love the seasonal menus.
Waitress was efficient and friendly. Provided very good service.

First Watch is a welcoming and friendly restaurant known for its fresh and delicious food. Many customers enjoy dishes like the farmhouse hash and the Floridian French toast, which is often served with fresh fruit. The staff provides attentive service, making the dining experience pleasant. The menu offers light yet comforting options such as lemon ricotta pancakes, glazed bacon, and biscuits with turkey gravy, which are hard to find elsewhere. Portions are generous, often leaving enough for later. The open and bright space is kid-friendly, creating a nice environment for families. Customers have noted that the atmosphere is amazing, with diversity in age and race, making people feel at home. The service is fast, and the food is consistently fresh and tasty, making it a popular brunch spot. Some reviews mention that the menu is very large and might benefit from being more simple and rustic. A few customers found the potatoes in the hash to be underdone or the coffee not hot enough, but overall, the staff is attentive and works to improve the experience. Parking can be a challenge due to its central location. Despite some minor issues, guests are happy to return and recommend First Watch for a good breakfast or even a place to work. The clean atmosphere and quality meals continue to make it a favorite for families seeking a relaxing meal.
