First Watch — Restaurant in Morris Plains

I’ve been here several times and felt I should write a review. Today, we had breakfast at First Watch, and I must say that my experience was again consistently outstanding. This place never fails to impress, from the impeccable service to the delectable food.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was promptly greeted by the friendly staff and shown to my table. Our server, Riley, was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided top-notch service throughout our meal. Their professionalism and genuine warmth added an extra touch to the overall dining experience.

One of the things that truly sets First Watch apart is the freshness of their food. In an era where reheated meals have become all too common, it's refreshing to find a place that takes pride in serving meals made from scratch. The food at First Watch consistently tastes fresh, as if it were prepared just moments before hitting our plates.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the Million Dollar Bacon. I can't say enough good things about this mouthwatering creation. It's the perfect harmony of sweet and savory, with just the right amount of crispiness. Each bite is a divine explosion of flavors that leaves you craving for more. I have to admit, the Million Dollar Bacon never disappoints, and it's become my go-to item on the menu.

In addition to the standout Million Dollar Bacon, First Watch offers a diverse menu with plenty of options to satisfy all taste buds. Whether you're in the mood for classic breakfast staples like fluffy pancakes or hearty omelets filled with fresh ingredients, you're sure to find something that suits your cravings.

Another aspect worth mentioning is the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. First Watch has a bright and welcoming ambiance, making it an ideal place to start your day. The clean and modern decor, coupled with comfortable seating, provides a pleasant environment to enjoy your meal and engage in conversation with friends and family.

In conclusion, I highly recommend First Watch for breakfast. With consistently great food, excellent service, and the unforgettable Million Dollar Bacon, it's a breakfast destination that never fails to impress. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you can expect a delightful dining experience that will leave you wanting to come...

We arrived an were seated relatively quickly, since the restaurant was less than half full. Once we were seated, we waited quite a while to be greeted by our server. We placed our drink order and waited quite a while for, water, coffee and a coke to arrive. We then waited for the waitress to come to get our order. Once we placed or order, we then waited quite a while for simple things. After a while the waitress arrived with 4 of the 7 things we ordered. Serving only 2 of the 3 guests at our table. Two of the items we ordered (well cooked bacon) came our rare and quite raw. Waitress took the bacon and returned with it a few minutes later with it cooked correctly. Yet I still wait, My side of country sausage gravy arrived (odd that it was not a cream based gravy but it was ok yet very spicy (not mentioned in the menu). And I still wait for my smoked salmon eggs benedict. It finally arrives and I cut into it and the egg is hard cooked and the ciabatta roll was hard as a rock. I asked the waitress if I can get some soft cooked eggs. She said sure, I will take the plate and bring back the potatoes so you can eat something while you wait. Mean while my 2 guests were done with there food. My food finally arrived and the waitress said the manager was going to come over and talk to me. He came over and said he was talking off my Salmon Eggs Benedict. Then the waitress came over and gave each of us a $5.00 coupon for a future purchase.

Potatoes were delicious 3.79 Belgian Waffle was good 11.79 Bacon once cooked correctly was good but a rip off for 5.79 Frittata Rustica was ok 13.79 country gravy too spicy 3.49 decaf coffee ok nothing special 3.99 soda 3.99 smoked salmon eggs benedict salmon was low quality, eggs over cooked, ciabatta was too hard, hollandaise sauce was clearly from a package not homemade. once it was fixed it was ok

I would not dine at this restaurant again so if anyone wants some $5.00...

Chaotic, disorganized mess. Clueless staff. Need to get their act together. Visited at 11:30 am on a Wednesday, place was busy but not crazy. There were TONS of servers, including someone who just opened and closed the doors for everyone. We were immediately seated and then left alone for 14 minutes. Not a single server came over, no water, no order takers, nothing - just left with a menu as everyone around us was served. Nice. Told the hostess who seated us, and she said "Oh, sorry" but no plan of correction, so we left. If you can't handle 11:30 am on Wednesday, I don't know why I thought they could handle Sunday morning, but the menu looked great so I agreed to try again. Put our name in on-line, at 1010 am and told the wait would be between 40 and 69 minutes. Arrived 30 minutes later with the app telling us there were still 20+ people ahead of us. Wait another 30 minutes, with tons of people outside also waiting. Seats in the outdoor area are visibly open for 10+ minutes, but the line is not moving....Go inside to see where we are on the wait list, and a woman in front of us tells the hostess - "No one has been sitting at that table for the last 10 minutes, so I'm just sitting there", and despite all the people waiting for tables in front of her, the hostess allows that and the party is served. Yeah - at that point we left, as it was clear we were never getting a table unless we aggressively moved others out of our way . When we were happily seated at another restaurant and eating our appetizers, we got a notification that our table was ready - more than 2 hours after we originally put our name in and told it would be a 69 minute wait, tops. Very poorly managed, staff can't...
