We have been here twice in the last few weeks. Service is always so friendly and efficient. The place is super busy but kept clean. Management is always roving the floor checking in on people. Food is always on point. They are doing it right here at First Watch Sewell. read more

Breakfast was so delicious. Jackie was extremely friendly and we had a great experience with our 2 year old. The ambience was also great. Very much appreciated and recommended. read more

I ordered the Cinnamon pancakes and I ordered the caged free eggs and bacon and the fresh squeezed orange juice. The pancakes were very flavorful the only thing I would change is cooked for less time and more syrup. The eggs and bacon and eggs were seasoned very nicely loved the yoke. And enjoyed the orange juice. I ordered the meal off of doordash read more

Great food, and service that you come to expect @ FW, the chickichonga, and millionaire bacon was great, and #1 son said they killed it with the avocado toast he ordered.... read more

This place is a quick drive from work, so I come to this modern farmhouse style brunch spot regularly for lunch with friends. The service is very friendly and, if you tell them you need to be quick, they do a great job of keeping things moving for you to stay on schedule. The seasonal menu always offers something interesting, but the regular menu is full of good standbys, like French toast and omelettes. I do strongly recommend taking a look at the seasonal menu, as it's usually where I find my favorite dishes. read more

I had a lovely brunch here with friends(inclusive of children) last Sunday. All staff were accommodating and the place had a diner feel albeit a little more upscale. The menu was creative takes on breakfast favorites. I had the Belgian waffle, eggs and chicken sausage. I felt the chicken sausage needed more fennel bc it lacked a bit of flavor but the waffle and eggs were perfect. I particularly liked the blueberry compote. My friends ordered eggs Benedict which seems to be a local favorite, it's served on ciabatta bread and an omelette with breakfast potatoes. Overall a very affordable breakfast option with quick friendly service. I'd come back again when in the area. read more

The food is good I never had a bad entrée. All of the services were good. Atmosphere is great rustic barn house feel. If you order waffles and pancakes, you better ask them to cook them a little bit on the brown side otherwise they will come out cold or lukewarm at best. read more

The worst $40 I ever spent going out for breakfast. Before you pay for your meal , look at the receipt so you aren't charged for something you didn't even order. Now , the food , not good. We asked for sourdough bread and they brought out the wrong bread with both our orders , I ordered the eggs hash meal which wasn't very good , barely any potatoes that come with it . I ate here before and it was good , but not today. I won't go back. So when I looked at the receipt I noticed it had something we didn't order so I brought it to their attention and they removed it at least read more

My husband and I went for the first time this morning. We had the pleasure of having Valerie as our server. She was very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent, especially the million dollar bacon and their version of hash browns . They use big mugs for their coffee which is fantastic! We will definitely be going back again. Corinne and Brian read more

Million dollar bacon was good, but I would avoid the salmon Benedict. Salad lacked flavor, I don't think there was any dressing on it and the same goes for the eggs benny. My dad's potato was so salty he couldn't eat it. It's nice to have healthier spots in south Jersey so I hope this place does well. read more

I really enjoy coming to First Watch for brunch. Depending on the day that you go, the wait can be very long but you can join a waitlist online. Service is usually quick as they're used to the hustle bustle of the breakfast/lunch rush. Juices are amazing and food is great! A lot of options to choose from, can't go wrong. read more

This place consistently delivers when it comes to breakfast. For me, ordering shrimp and grits anywhere outside of the deep south is a gamble. Usually, it's just not seasoned right, not enough butter, just kinda bland. But I risked it and glad I did. The shrimp and grits were fantastic. Don't think it's a staple menu item, but it really should be. Wife loved her breakfast too and the doughnut holes are a delicious app. Server was on point until she disappeared at the end when we were ready for the check but not a huge deal. Overall solid experience and good food. read more

My family and I used to love coming here but the service was kind of iffy. We had awful service last year and stopped going. Today we were craving some of their menu items and decided to go. The food is always grea, never a complain. However the service, yet again, wasnt. We were seated quickly, and they took our order quickly. We had to ask for my wife's juice at least 3 times, and I had to ask for syrup for my pancakes at least the same amount. We would ask a server who came to our table, then she'd vanish for 15 mins while our food was getting cold, and we never received a drink refill or an offer on refills. Our original server we only saw again when it was time to boot us and give us a check. never even asked if we needed takeout containers and it was clear we did. At one point I guess a manager was making rounds to talk to diners, he mumbled something asking how things were, my wife said the service was a little rough but overall great, he nods and smiles and just walked away. we weren't expecting anything but no response? Weird. Overall we love the food but the service is as least consistently disappointing. Will not be returning anytime soon. read more

The sausage gravy was tasty but contained no sausage. The gravy was lumpy. The grits were not tasty and tge cheese wasn't melted. The loaded potatoes were cold. I was very disappointed and felt I wasted money on a tasteless meal. read more

Literally every time I come here my over easy eggs are over cooked, I have to send them back every single time. The coffee is insanely watered down and their iced coffee tastes like a White Russian. Idk why I keep coming back read more

Very good breakfast I love the service they treated us well even tho they were short staff definitely coming here again!!

I enjoyed a late breakfast on a quiet Saturday morning at First Watch. We got on the wait list before arriving. Upon arrival, we waited about 5 minutes before being seated. The restaurant was bustling with patrons, all ready for a delicious start to their day. My meal included the Citrus Hibiscus Punch that was refreshing (I wanted a larger glass) and the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl. The Bowl was delicious and right up my alley. However, I expected a larger portion; my bowl looks a bit empty (see photo). IDK, maybe I was looking to be greedy that morning. In any case, I enjoyed the available selections and the ones that made it to my stomach! read more

The food is great. Never really had a bad meal or experience. This issue is the price. It's pretty steep, especially for breakfast. Every time I go I leave thinking "I could have gotten the same meal at a diner for half the price". So overall a good spot, but expensive. read more

My girl friends and I decided to try brunch during peak Sunday brunch hours. I got on the waitlist about 20 minutes before we were planning to arrive because there was a 30-40 minute wait. When we arrived we were told it would be another 20 minutes, which made sense. It ended up being a bit longer, but once we were seated and ordered our delicious drinks, the wait no longer mattered. I got the Purple Haze and it was amazing. We decided to try a few of the specials and ordered the blueberry muffin top griddle cakes for the table. I got another special, the Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict. Both the Benedict and the griddle cakes were perfect. The home fries were a little undercooked, but otherwise everything was great. I plan to come back and bring the family next! read more

I like the variety of options available at First Watch. My server was attentive but wasn't able to get our orders as requested. It was busy and we understood how a server has to juggle several customers. My food wasn't hot, IMO, it sat for a while before coming to me. My daughter's eggs were not cooked as selected and neither was the sausage. However, I rated it good because sometimes it is an off day read more

First time visiting the restaurant, food was excellent! Loved the fresh juices.. our waitress Desiree was so sweet and accommodating~ Loved Farm House, Strawberry French Toast~ I give two thumbs up~ read more

I almost do not want to make a post and have more people love this place . It is very busy and if you go to their website and "get in line " it may speed up your spot to be seated . We had tried in the past to eat here but there was a 45 minute wait and I was hangry . Everyone is so pleasant which always makes for a good experience. All of the food was beyond excellent. I also love that you get a carafe of coffee so you don't have to wait for a refill. read more

The ambiance can't be beat! Probably best brunch atmosphere there is! Our server Jacqueline was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, hospitable and absolutely amazing! My husband ordered the trifecta which came with incredibly delicious banana pancakes with a side of strawberry preserves that was other worldly! The chicken sausage was flavorful and the over easy eggs so tasty! The coffee was just ok. I would have given another star even two except I was extremely disappointed in the steak and hash: you can see I almost never give anything but 4-5 stars but it was honestly so overly salty that you couldn't taste anything else (not the onion, nor steak, not spinach, nor potato's a real shame. Also not much steak there and onions and potatoes were under cooked. .. for $16 would take off menu or improve it and use less salt for this holiday special item. Maybe a mistake. Would return and give them another shot. read more

Food and service here always seems to be hit or miss. We've had pretty good servers and some not so good. The quality of food also seems to be better when dining in (albeit a routinely pretty slow kitchen). We've actually also had some missing biscuits on a recent biscuits and gravy takeout order ... which we didn't notice until we got got home after driving all the way across town. Probably describe this place as an upscale diner with kinda better food choices and higher prices too. Not sure when we'll make our way back ... as it's a gamble and most times we just don't want to wait that long to get our food and have to risk it not being good (let alone correct). read more

First time I've been to a First Watch. For a chain restaurant this is one of the best for breakfast. The selections are varied and the amount of healthy options is fantastic. I had the Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Frittata which was delicious. So, although I mentioned the healthy options (it came with a side salad), I substituted for the potatoes, oops. The potatoes were really good though. My wife had the Floridian French Toast, which were two brioche slices of bread with fresh fruit on top. She really enjoyed it. The service was great, attentive, and friendly. Wish there was a First Watch closer to me. read more

First Watch was crowded on Sunday afternoon. People were standing inside and sitting outside. Every table was occupied. I knew my food would take awhile. When checking my order it was wrong, I ordered a Market Veggie, side of potatoes and lemon lettuce. In my bag was a Market Hash . I would not had ordered goat cheese in my food. I did not go back to get the right order because of how long it would of been. The eggs, side potatoes, and lemon lettuce was good. read more

Such a shame!! read more

So I went back as I said I would and had a much different experience which I felt compelled to share... I would say a BOLDER experience! Super busy again but that speaks volumes for this little place that I predict will one day have to expand. My daughter, husband, and I were accommodated and treated top-notch by a server who was smiling, sweet, attentive, and even complimentary, despite the crowd pouring in. When a server can do that in the face of pressure and take her time to treat each customer like they want to be treated, you know you are good. Having been a server, that's what it's all about. She just did fabulously! I thought, they are holding it down pretty damn well with all this going on and then to top it off we were served within 15 minutes of ordering! My brave moment came in trying something other than my go-to and I left utterly intrigued, trying to savor the flavor and wandering when I could make time to come back for these tacos! The finishing touches did it for me, the tacos are topped in the lime crema house made pico de galla and the best... the Tajin® seasoning that was sprinkled all over even on the side of fruit for a surprising burst of flavor! If at first you leave just satisfied, try, try again. read more

The eggs were fake and taste like plastic! The bacon was like a rubbery goodyear tire! And they have guts to charge 15 bucks for eggs and bacon! read more

Used to really like it here but our most recent experience left us seriously disappointed. We used the online check-in system and were sat quickly for breakfast, but the food took a long time to come out--over 1/2 hour. Around us, none of the tables were getting their meals served at the same time. Somehow our plates did come out together, but my eggs and potatoes were barely warm. The donuts we ordered for the table came out about five minutes after the food. They should've come out first and almost right away. The server stopped by once and asked "how did everything come out" before we even had a chance to pick up our silverware. She never mentioned or apologized for the delay and never returned to see if we needed anything else. When the employee who rang me up asked if everything was good, I said it was "okay." He had zero interest in following up on that. Though I have given gift cards to this place and recommended it many times, I won't be doing that anymore. Things can go wrong in a restaurant, maybe they had an off day, but when not one employee is willing to acknowledge it, that's a huge red flag for me. Last time for me at First Watch. read more

The place is big and open but incredibly loud. The service was really good. We had the turkey gravy and bisquit w/2 eggs. It tasted good but the biscuit needed more gravy. It was very big and bone dry. Im sure if we asked they would have given us extra. Eggs were done right and their potatoes are very good. 4 instead of 5 because the noise became unbearable at the end. read more

I absolutely enjoyed this spot! From the decor to the staff, this is a happy place. My server was warm and welcoming. The place was absolutely spotless. The food selections were plentiful and my choice was a good one. I don't like eating alone but, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The coffee was hot and came in a carafe. As I completed my meal, my server brought me a to go cup. I'm glad I hit this bright spot! read more

This was my third time here for breakfast and we both really enjoyed it. I got the traditional breakfast, which I loved. Everyone is super nice. Our waitress Odyssey was very attentive and cheerful and a delight. A great way to start the weekend being in a pleasant atmosphere and with positive people. Place is a little bit noisy because it was crowded but it didn't impact us. We will definitely be back. read more

Always a great stop for brunch with a homemade feel. On this rainy Sunday, my wife and I split the avocado toast and Hawaiian French toast. Avocado toast is always fresh with shaved sea salt and lemon bringing out all the flavor. The Hawaiian French toast on spring special had coconut cream, pineapple, and cinnamon on top and was the perfect serving to split if you don't want to feel like you have to roll away from brunch . Deserie provided excellent service! read more

The good: - Food was decent. I didn't try this world famous "Million Dollar Bacon," but I saw it and it looked good. Everything else was tasty. - Prices were reasonable, if you stay away from trendy shit like avocado toast, or a drink with Lilac blossoms in it. - You can check in online before heading over so that you don't have to wait as long at the restaurant, which is good because.... The not so good: - the place is PACKED. As soon as you walk in, there is a ocean of people, just milling about the hostess table. The problem is that the hostess table is also where you pay, so the people trying to leave are clashing with the people trying to come, and no one knows what's going on. There's a check in line, a check in line for the people who've already checked in online, a line for people trying to pay, a line for people waiting to be seated, a line for people asking questions....it's just a chaotic mess - The place is a little small for the amount of foot traffic they deal with. Seats are close together, and there isn't much privacy, or room to maneuver. On my trip, a family had a stroller at their table, and the entire wait staff had to reroute through the restaurant, because there just wasn't room to get around or through. Still, it was a decent breakfast, and I'm sure I'll be back in the future. read more
