These modern-esque brunch places (e.g. Turning Point) appear to be sprouting up like mushrooms all over Cherry Hill and Moorestown so I decided to take my wife out for a Mother's day brunch. Just driving by it always seems to be packed so I wisely decided to use the Yelp app to be placed on the waitlist. When we got there, it was PACKED as expected but we didn't have to wait very long before being seated. My wife had the biscuits and gravy with a side of strawberry pancakes while I had the breakfast tacos, boy do I love Mexican themed breakfasts! Everything tasted great and we were quite satisfied. They had crayons for the kids and had a robust kid's menu. It's a great lunch, but there's just something processed, robotic, and in-authentic about the place, like Cherry Hill. read more

MAKE RESERVATIONS/CALL AHEAD FIRST! I was so eager to try this place after passing by a few times. We called ahead to see what the wait time was and were told it was about 30 minutes for a party of 2 on a Sunday morning. Once we got there we were told it was probably around 45 min. They took my number and we waited. What's good is that they use Yelp and you can follow a link texted to you and see how many parties are before yours and cancel if need be. We ended up waiting for about an hour before we were seated. My sister and I got their cold brew coffee which was pretty good! I got "The Works" omlette and cheese grits. I was so excited to see cheese grits on the menu since it's pretty rare I find. I've been looking for a good cheese grits place since I moved up from Virginia. The grits here were meh. Not bad but not that amazing. Unsure if I would get it again but I appreciate it being an option. The "The Works" omlette was delicious, however. The sausage in it was my favorite part. They have that casing that makes the sausage "snap" which is how I prefer it. My meal came with toast and the bread they use was also a favorite. If you like whole grain bread and like the textures of lots of grains like me, you'd enjoy it too. Service was okay. They were pretty packed so I don't fault the waitress for not being very available. They close at 2 on Sunday so I kinda got the feeling they were rushing us out (it was around 1 when we got our food). They gave us the check when our meals came out and after that, we had to flag the waitress down for napkins, take-out boxes, etc. I'd definitely come back but I can't stress enough to make reservations because waiting an hour while you're hungry is no fun. Being in close proximity to Turning Point, I'd say First Watch is better but if you're in more of a hurry at Turning Point you might get seater faster. Regardless, wherever you go for weekend brunch will be packed. read more

Another GenZ, millennial food place. The aesthetics are truly basic. Just looks like a big warehouse room that they put tables and chairs in. When the place is full, the volume is so loud. You'll wind up, speaking louder, adding to that. There's nothing breaking up the sound in the room. The food was good, enough variety. No mimosas. read more

Popular breakfast/lunch spot on Haddonfield road serving up delicious and fresh dishes that will you leave you feeling full due to their big portions. We got the lemon and ricotta pancakes, million dollar bacon, and summer crab omelet. You get two giant pancakes with lemon curd, strawberries and powdered sugar. The flavor in the pancakes was amazing, however the bottoms were a little burned and they were a bit dry. The million dollar bacon was pretty good. If you only like your bacon crispy this dish will not be for you. However, if you're not that picky the flavors will elevate the bacon to something delicious that you wouldn't normally take the time to do at home which makes each bit worth the it. The crab omelet was delicious and filled to the brim with crab, corn, and peppers. The crab was fresh and you cant go wrong with corn and peppers. The omelet itself was light and fluffy. The dish comes with toast and a small mixed green salad which is nice since some breakfast places just throw a greasy omelet on the plate. Aside from the minor issue with the pancake there wasn't anything negative about the visit. I'll definately be back soon to try the lunch menu. read more

if you go on the weekend, be sure to have a reservation or be ready for a long wait. Their parking lot gets so full that one time we had to park at a Wawa nearby and walk back to the restaurant! I really love that they have seasonal items on the menu that change as well. their Carnitas breakfast burrito is the best breakfast burrito I have ever had. I will always come back to order that. The rest of the items on the menu are really good quality food, and the portions are a good size. If you are looking for a place for a filling brunch, definitely try here. The place is always clean and the staff are kind. They are definitely not your cheapest breakfast place but that is because of the high quality of their ingredients. I always have leftovers as well. the million bacon is worth a try once too! overall it's a nice place for breakfast or brunch, but don't expect meals similar to that of a diner here! read more

Enjoyed Project Sunrise coffee served with flavored creamer. Truffle mushroom tossed with bacon, home fries. Topped with scrambled eggs with cheese and arugula! Wow! Amazingly delicious. Monserrath was our friendly server. Waited about 10min for a table (midweek). Expect a wait on peak hours & weekend. But its worth the wait & drive to Cherry Hill. Lots of savory, sweet & healthy food & drink options for all dietary needs. Loved it! read more

Came here for a brunch double date this morning. Unfortunately they don't take reservations so we put our names on a waitlist but got off by 11:30. Sunday brunch was a busy time so parking took a few extra minutes (surprising for a suburban restaurant) but overall wasn't bad. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and frittata rustica. Both items were solid but the food took a while to come out (about a half hour). Our server was courteous and checked in often. Overall, pretty standard experience. read more

The service could be a lot better. I've been to this location multiple times and I have never had a problem. However, When we asked for a booth that seemed to cause a problem with the host as she had an attitude and walked away. The second person to come was our server named Chyna who came 10 minutes after we were sitting there waiting for someone to come to our table. Not only did she come late, she never came to check on us and see if our food was good or if we needed a refill on water or anything. We ordered right away when she came because she had taken a very long time to get to the table. On our way out when she was tipped lower than she would have liked since she barely even waited on us, she came up to me and asked if I meant to leave that tip and said actually it's fine it's fine with a very bad attitude and left. Terrible experience I will not be back based on her and the host however every other time i've come to First Watch the service was amazing. Very disappointed. read more

Great first experience at this relatively new (2/2019) restaurant just off Rt 70. Check in with Yelp and avoid the lines! Although a franchise with locations along the east coast, it has the feel of a farm-to-table establishment with fresh food offerings and warm, country-style ambiance. Reminded me of Turning Point, if you're familiar with them. Ordered the Farmhouse Hash Skillet and the Belgian waffle with raspberry compote to share. The skillet composed of chunky seasoned potatoes covered with cheese, roasted tomatoes, sweet peppers, and onion with avocado and two poached eggs on top was delicious. The waffle with raspberry compote was a bit boring in presentation, but big on flavor. The waffle was softer than some places will serve it, which was nice. The staff was very welcoming with our waitress Tammy's friendly personality and happiness really adding to a great experience. Highly recommend! Note: If you're diet conscious, they post the calorie content on the menu as well as all nutritional information on their website, where you can add/ delete items in a dish to get the estimated calories. read more

I have to say if you are in the south Jersey area first watch is definitely a must try. Weekends are always busy so make sure to reserve your place in line online ahead of time. Service was great I ordered the BLT eggs Benedict and I think the proportions were right for me not too heavy of meal. Another favorite must try is their elevated egg sandwich which is something I order all the time but this time I decided to try something new. Family friendly atmosphere and their fresh juices are equally worth trying I love their morning meditation so refreshing! read more

This was the most peaceful place I've found in Cherry Hill thus far. Only been here for about 2 months but still. So I noticed when I walked up that there was seething outside. So I sat outside with no wait time. Around 130pm on a Saturday. Everything is or has a healthier option. Even when the coffee comes out there is silk milk on the table and stevia sugar. No other place around here does that so I thought it was a big deal. Coffee was delicious. I ordered the avocado toast. It has lemon zest in it I believe. Very delicious. Also I ordered a side of chicken sausage. They have options on sausage, like 3 different options but I don't remember what they all were. I know for a fact there were chicken sausage patties and turkey links. They also brought a little bottle of water. I loved it. I went and sat alone. I wasn't overly crowded. Everyone was sooo polite. So nice. Only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the pay on the way out thing. But it's okay. I will defiantly go back. read more

Stopped in yesterday morning at their Moorestown location and enjoyed their endless coffee and the Pork Roll Sammy which included 3 slices of pork roll with cheese and a over semi-hard egg on a soft bagel with crispy fried potatoes on the side. Great choice and I brought half home because I ate half of my wife's waffle. She ordered their full breakfast which came with eggs, waffle, potatoes, and bacon. She enjoyed her meal and one of their special coffees. Very nice, clean, and spacious restaurant and we were seated near their fireplace which we enjoyed the warmth of it. We will definitely return. read more

Good food. Good service but the one in Ardmore is much better. The hosts at the front weren't the friendliest and they seemed very busy into convos with themselves to initially helped me. Once we were finally seated, our waitress was good and our food was served but i ordered waffles and she never bought syrup over or checked on us so I had to track down another waitress after waiting for her trying to get her attention. Food was just okay at this spot. I'd go again because First Watch doesn't really miss but I was expecting more based on my experience at other locations. read more

The restaurant has a honey feel and the menu is extensive. I ordered a classic eggs Benedict and when served to me, steam was rising up from the eggs. Yum! Unfortunately when I took my first bite, I was sadly disappointed as it was cold. I took another small bite and it took was cold. I beckoned what I believe was the manager asking if the bennies could be warned up. She seemed annoyed and indifferent but felt took the dish. When she brought it back it was still cold. Also, I've never had eggs Benedict with sliced deli meat. All in all there was no taste of the hollandaise sauce. Who wants to eat cold food! Don't think I'll be back really due to the lack of caring that a customer was treated indifferently. It was empty when I came in around 1:00 and I now understand why. read more

I have been here multiple times with great service and food but I was disappointed today. Understand the covid precautions but we were asked at least 4 times to leave stating there was a 90minute limit to our stay. The server kept asking if we needed anything "hinting" that we should leave for others because there is a long line. We got our table at 09:10 and we were asked to leave starting at 10:00. There was one party waiting when we left. Oh and I also ordered an appetizer which we never received. Disappointed read more

Leaving a one star review for bad service. I was so excited to try this place too. Very disappointed.

Doing what I love... I was truly skeptical about this place. Why? You may ask well, from my stance as a foodie who loves Breakfast/Brunch as my all time favorite meal this place needed to deliver... My people I wasn't disappointed! One, I am a proud Vegetarian and soon to be Vegan. Two, I remember my days of being a devout carnivorous eater for more then half my life ( 50yrs young and stopped eating four legged animals in 96 )...Please know there is no judgment coming from here..Third, I am really into the experience and abeyance which at times can definitely be lost in most chains.... Again, this place for its price and the wonderful taste that was conjured, it's safe.... for me to conclude, that this place is awsome... Prayerfully I am not being rude...Ha!!! Ha!!! Be prepared because it is always packed ( as a testament to it's greatness ) at least in Wynnewood PA., as well as the one in Cherry Hill NJ. The service is usually on point ( my only tad grip is that they, like all eateries can get a bit overwhelmed which will cause some concerns ) however, the beautiful sent of aromatic Superior flavor that permeates through the air will lull even the very patient into a pleasant, perplexing, precise coma that will force even the most stern to buckle under the trance of the amazing aroma. From the Infamous million-dollar bacon that my family has smacked their lips on to any dish that caters to someone with a sensitive pallet such as mine. It will be divine..Oh to top it off the refreshments are extremely refreshing and dare I say, delicately exquisite... Take my advice if you decide to go to breakfast/brunch here get there before 2pm because they close at 2:30. Be prepared for a wonderful experience. KDK. read more

So after my first bad experience last year, I came back a a few times and had decent experiences (with one bad one that I didn't review). I've ordered takeout multiple times, and I always order the Morning Meditation juice light ice. It always comes in what appears to be a 12 or 16 oz to go cup. Today I ordered the juice, and they gave me it in a KIDS cup that looks to be 8 oz. I asked why it was in a kids cup, and she said it's because I asked for light ice. I told her I was literally here 2 days ago and it was in the normal size cup like always. The server handed me the drink, didn't offer any sort of explanation as to why this is the first time I received my drink in a kids cup, and then walked away without even saying thank you or sorry. I had already tipped her and I wish I hadn't because she was rude and unapologetic. So now I'm done with this place! read more

I honestly thought this place was going to be a basic chain with mediocre food but i was totally wrong. I started with the cold brew, and it wasn't the best i had ever had but it was pretty good. Then we got the million dollar bacon and donut holes to share. They were amazing! The bacon was so good! I got the ham and gruyere melt with tomato soup and it was really good as well! This place exceeded my expectations and i am excited to go back. read more

I ordered a skillet (market) and i got 95% potatoes and probably 2 pieces mushroom. Their bread is good though.

Food was good. Seated at 9:05 and was told there was a 90 minute table limit. Even have the text message that shows when I was added to the waitlist at 9:00. At 10:10, was told we passed our 90 minutes and was asked to leave. I told them it had only been an hour, and am not sure what happened here, but am a little upset about that. I understand that COVID times sets limitations but there wasn't a line and I felt the server quickly became very rude. So dissapointed ... read more

Juices are great. French toast was decent. DO NOT GET THE SHRIMP & GRITS!! I literally choked down 3 bites before I sent the entire thing back. Half of an connected onion and raw green pepper was the seasoning. The sausage was the only thing good. Grits taste like water. I even added salt & pepper and still disgusting. I told the waitress and she just said "ok" and handed me the check. II was out of water, juice, and coffee and my waitress never came back. I saw her to take the order, when the food came out, and when she handed me the check. I'm giving 3 stars for the items that were at least edible and for the juice. EDIT/UPDATE: company responded to my review as if they were wanting to assist however, I emailed as requested (the same day) and no one has reached out. That was a week ago. read more

The food is amazing, the drinks from the fresh juice bar are great as well. However, every time I have been to first watch in cherry hill it is always unpleasant. Whether it's me sitting in or ordering out. Some of the hostess make you feel unwelcome here. One day I called in because the first watch app wouldn't allow take out orders so I decided to call and ask if I could place the order over the phone; the hostess quickly reply no all orders must be made in person then she just hung up on me. LoL I have had the pleasure of eating at multiple first watches and I never experienced the unwelcome vibes I recieve from here. read more

I like the food but the wait time are ridiculous. I join the waitlist at 9 am and it's been Over 3 hour and still haven't call me yet.

I'm so happy that a First Watch opened up in our area after visiting a few in Florida! Of course, the wait was really long, even using the app to sign in, but the food was worth it with how good the food was! First Watch does breakfast better than anyone else and I definitely recommend stopping in. read more

Pro: Superior breakfast and brunch! This is one of those places that you go to cheat on your diet, sustain your diet, celebrate a small victory, lament a defeat...whatever! You don't need an excuse to go to First Watch except hunger! The standard menu is packed with options, but the additional seasonal menu only sweetens the deal. I've had the Steak & Hash (seasonal item) and the Floridian French Toast. Both were simply decadent! Con: This place can AND WILL get packed quickly! If possible, use the "Join Waiting List" option and save yourself a little bit of time. Bottom Line: This is an amazing breakfast haven! Don't hesitate; go today! read more

This is the third time we come to this place, and is the most disappointing visit. The first time the quality and quantity of the food was on point, as well as the service. Today we had to wait approximately 1.5hrs to be sitted because the kitchen was running behind. We tried to understand and be patient as it is a Sunday at lunch time. We get sitted and the waitress serves us water and no straws. When I ask, they have ran out of straws. Fine, we get our coffee and again I remind you this is not our first visit, this coffee so strong and a lot more bitter than expected and I love coffee but I had to use 3 creamers to tone down the flavor. We ordered two Trifectas which consist of eggs, meat and waffle or pancake and this costs ~$11. I was served a tiny portion of eggs, small pieces of sausage links and a somewhat "medium sized" waffle. My boyfriend asked for the same with the chocolate chip pancakes and the million dollar bacon (p.s. sorry we didn't post a photo but after waiting ~2hrs we were starving). His pancake was almost as flat as paper and super small. We had to order an additional pancake which was actually the advertised sized. Keep in mind this additional pancake cost us ~$6 and you are telling me that what we got that wasn't even half of this pancake plus eggs and bacon should cost us $11?! Again the portions of eggs and meat were small. Also we decided to try their famous million dollar bacon and honestly for what they advertised, it's not worth the high price. It was indeed good but not like to die for good and I have definitely had better regular bacon. Our overall visit today was super disappointing but I will say this the quality taste of the food is really good and that is why I'm still giving the 3 stars even though our experience today was bad. read more
