Scrumptious breakfast! Pancakes, Chickichanga, Vegetable entree
Aisha A.

It is a family friendly restaurant was packed on the weekend. The wait time was about 10 minutes. The service was as fast as they can be considering the amount of people pouring in, yet the order taken and food received was accurate so no complains here. The portion size of food is good enough and options of fruit drinks were very new n trendy. A refreshing change if you don't want to opt to have your coffee and I chose not to have coffee today! Always enjoy the open floor plan so people are always around, for families with lil kids kids menu has cute options like chocolate chip pancakes :) Bill has to be paid at the cash register on the way out though but the feel is lovely and hustle n bustle is good for people who like to socialize. But , please make sure if you have kids then you must be sitting with a segregated table as the bench seats get connected o other family seating and some people might not be too comfortable but over all had a great experience very healthy option on the menu , food quality is great.

Chickichanga with the Million Dollar Potatoes
Kyle J.

My Fiancé and I made an appointment to check out a wedding venue nearby, and decided to get some breakfast before our appointment. Our first time at a first watch, and I thought the restaurant looked very nice inside, very clean as well. Our server was great and helped show me the menu, and I ended up ordering an alcoholic beverage that sounded interesting, the cinnamon toast cereal milk, which was actually really good! (RumHaven Coconut Rum, cold brew coffee, oat milk and agave nectar) I do recommend! For food I ordered the chickichanga which was a popular item highlighted in their menu,it had chicken chorizo, green chilies, onions, avocado, so great if you like Mexican breakfast flavors. It also had a unique sauce which to me almost had a lemony flavor or limey, which did pair well. My fiancé got the asada hash which she enjoyed! And we shared a plain pancake since we were both craving a good ole pancake and syrup. Overall we enjoyed our breakfast and had some leftovers to take home, we would definitely come back to another first watch the next time we are craving some brunch..

First watch is in a great location! Deer Park is an awesome area. The menu isn't too large which is nice as well. My husband and I arrived around 12 & had a 15 minute wait which wasn't bad. One thing to note though, is if someone joins the waitlist online they will be seated before you (which is frustrating). I ordered the traditional for brunch today what is offered is nice. However, the eggs were so oily I could only eat one of them. I wish they did not pre-butter the toast either because it was too much. I like the story behind their hot coffee. They support a great roasting company. However, I just don't think we enjoyed our breakfast enough to want to run back.

I met a friend at First Watch and we had an amazing experience. I love breakfast and order breakfast food every chance I get. Here I started with a hot chocolate. This was more than just a mix and water. It was rich any chocolatey. Big fan. I had the chocolate chip multigrain pancakes. These pancakes were huge. They only gave me two pancakes but I could only finish half of my meal. The syrup bottle came to the table warm. I like this touch. But they were delicious and hit the spot. Our sever was nice and friendly. I won't hesitate to come back and highly recommend First Watch!

The best thing about first watch is the drinks and the service but the food is always sub par. After receiving another burnt pancake and one slice of bacon ... I am done and won't be returning in person or online. Parsley doesn't make the food better guys.

Healthy Turkey
Morgan S.

First Watch always delivers for a quick yet elevated breakfast experience. We were seated in under 10 minutes after jumping "in line" online. I've been eyeing the cereal milk cocktail for a while and finally ordered it. WOW! Wonderful balance of coffee, cinnamon and sweetness. The healthy turkey is my go to order and it never disappoints. The feta and caramelized onion really make this dish standout. Don't skip the wheat bread either, it's addicting. My husband enjoyed his farmhouse skillet too. Good portion on all ingredients. His bloody also included a HUGE bacon garnish which was a nice perk for him.

Veggie Sandwich & Greens
Peter S.

We had visited a First Watch when we were staying with family in Florida, and very much enjoyed it - becoming one of our favorite places in the area. We found out there are several locations that aren't too far away from where we live, so we were excited to come and try the First Watch in Kildeer... This location absolutely lived up to our expectations! Service was fast and friendly, with our server paying attention to our needs without being overbearing. The restaurant is very well lit, has a nice open dining area, and seems meticulously maintained. Food was prepared quickly, but with no corners cut. My veggie sandwich was excellent, and I shared a fresh pressed juice cocktail with my wife. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. This location is pretty conveniently located, with lots of parking around the building. I have a feeling we'll be getting breakfast or lunch here much more often, before doing shopping in the plaza.

The Trifecta
Corina G.

Cute breakfast/brunch restaurant near Deer Park Town Center! We went pretty early (9am) on a Friday and there was no wait. I got The Trifecta, which is a fairly basic breakfast that includes eggs prepared your way, a breakfast meat, and a waffle or pancake. I opted for eggs over medium, bacon, and the Belgian waffle. Everything was prepared well and the food was tasty. The service was fine and our dishes came out pretty quickly. I enjoyed the whole experience, and I hope to come back and try more items on the menu.

Had brunch here two weeks ago and it was a very fun time! There will definitely be a wait on a weekend morning, but if you're prepared, it's not too bad. Our party of four all ordered differently, but I got the Traditional Breakfast, which was tasty, but I feel the portion was a little small. The atmosphere was pleasant in the dining room with lots of light and clean booths and tables. Nice place for a chill brunch. Great service, too!

First watch is a great brunch option. Their drinks are fantastic, service is good, and overall experienced great. Prepared to to wait 20 or so minutes to get seated, as this place is super popular. Get your Instagram pictures all set as there are dishes are colorful and their presentation is on point.

Turkey gravy over a biscuit, potatoes, and eggs
Emily G.

Very middle of the road breakfast restaurant in my opinion. Everything ordered came out as expected, however, nothing was memorable or impressive. There were plenty of open tables on a Sunday morning and service was good. I ordered the turkey gravy over a biscuit with potatoes and eggs. The gravy was very pepper heavy and the biscuit was more bready than flaky, but it was still tasty. The potatoes could be crisped up a bit more, but were seasoned very well. My friends enjoyed their orders and were satisfied.

Bacado Omelet
Ashley H.

Service was awesome our server was attentive, quick, bubbly and helpful. My omelette was delicious I would def get it again. The restaurant is really cute the perfect spot to catch up with friends!

A busy Saturday at First Watch

Why does Long Grove always feel like some magical far away place when it's really much closer to me…read morethan most places I go? It's probably because of spots like this. When my yelp friends check-in places I always take a peek and add the interesting stuff to my massive and unorganized list of anything and everything I could ever want to try... this place popped up a few times, and I do love good pastries, so I had to make a trip. I say pastries but what really sold me was the pizza slice a buddy got, a savory excuse always helps. I got there before the dinner rush. I know that because it was calm when I got in line, though the line was full. When I left the place was crowded. There are actually 2 lines. One for savory and one for sweet. So like I said, I was here for that pizza slice... and I got it. I'm not sure if they make more throughout the day but there were just a few slices left that I could see. Score! But I do want to say that the more filling pasta dishes and such look AMAZING. I saw gorgonzola garlic bread and had to try that as well... and an arancini. Everything really looked so good, I wanted it all. It's a good thing I love bread because I ate a lot of it here! Great flavor and texture on the garlic bread, I love the little funk from the cheese. Arancini was fried up nicely and didn't retain excess oil. The slice is really good. It's a fair warning that it's about 90% bread, but I understand they make their own dough here and it shows. The crust is so crispy and airy, it's a nice experience. Next up, dessert. I grabbed a Nutella croissant and some gelato, both delicious! The gelato was rich and creamy. The croissant, which they fill to order with your choice of flavors, is another flex on how good their dough and bread baking skills are. Perfect texture, no notes. Would and will eat again. Amazing atmosphere that feels like a quick vacation, and outdoor tables perfect for the warm season. Friendly and inviting staff as well, they tried to sell me on the pear flavor gelato. Maybe next time. This is a not so hidden gem of a spot and a must try for bread lovers! I'll be back soon for pasta and more!

Most every dish was very dry or doughy. The cannoli's were fried too hard almost like egg rolls. We didn't realize till we got home that our daughter's dessert was missing after verifying three times with the staff what we ordered. If you're looking for Italian food skip this place. *** Almost forgot. Get rid of the young kids that are servers. They have no idea what they're doing. They seem very confused. Food was not brought out in a timely manner and Luke warm when we received it. Also re organize how you check out it can be very confusing with the impatient and hot headed customers that Dine there.

If you come during peak time just know you may need to wait a bit as everything is made fresh to order. They were also sold out of a lot of things but we got to try their cheese balls, chicken arepa, arepa pepiada, and their Brazilian ribs arepa. The cheese balls came out piping hot, we got 4 with our order. They were little balls of fluffy cheese breads that have a similar texture to mochi. It was great! We shared or arepas so we could try more, and none of them disappoint. The chicken arepa was by far my favorite, it was creamy, cheesy, full and full of flavor. The ribs one was a tad dry for me. We did order extra sauces but we didn't get them, and we didn't want to ask as they were too busy. Busy maybe with the sauces it would've helped. The cafe itself is super cute and small inside but the have a whole back patio that's perfect for the nice weather for you to enjoy. Overall, a good experience. We may just go during off times to avoid our super long wait for our food.

We enjoyed Easter lunch at Stony River!…read more We started with the deviled eggs appetizer. They were delicious! The best candied bacon pieces I've ever had on top. Then the yolk filling was full of relish and chunky pickles, yum. Next up, four entrees...Cobb Salad takes the top ranking with the perfect portion of dressing, excellent bacon and avocado with perfectly cooked chicken breast. They forgot the egg, I was originally sad, but the salad with its mixed greens was amazing. My son got the bigger cut filet. It was thick! He loves medium rare, but with the height of the filet, he should have done medium to avoid the purple inner center. He got the truffle fries, honestly, awful, no potato, just skinny fried fries...pick another side. The salmon is up next with a pretty aggressive seasoning, a bit spicy. Very well cooked and huge portion, but get fresh cooked if you don't love spice. The Bistro Chicken, again, excellent. Great portion and yummy lemon and caper topping. The problem with the mains are the sides. The sides are the reason for 4 vs 5 stars. The broccoli was fine, but has that raw, earthy flavor versus buttery and or salty, our preference. The server we had was kind and attentive. She deserved 5 stars. She was great! Check them out for the mains, but more research needs to be done on picking the best sides...my guess...upgrade to a side salad or soup!
