★★★★★ 5.0 Jodie Terry · Feb 2026

Fantastic first visit! The service was phenomenal and the food was spot-on as you can see in the photos. Their '"Traditional Breakfast" was cooked perfectly, and the Belgian waffle was light, fluffy, and delicious. Great atmosphere and an awesome addition to Salem. We’ll definitely be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Robert K · Feb 2026

The atmosphere was very nice, bright and warm. The food was delicious. Our server was very accommodating and attentive (as was the rest of the staff).

Does Main Street in Salem need more restaurants?? If they're offering up new choices like First Watch then YES! I'm a southern comfort breakfast guy that always tries out a place's gravy n biscuits and will totally judge them by this signature dish. Their turkey sausage and gravy was AWESOME! I also now randomly dream of their "million dollar bacon" which is a MUST HAVE when you go! I also tried their lemon ricotta pancakes - yummy! I just can't wait to go back breakfast is my favorite meal and they have lots of options for me to try next!

I went to the VIP soft opening of First Watch in Salem and it was a wonderful experience. They prided themselves on making sure food and drinks were correct and communicated every step of the way. The waiters and waitresses were all kind and attentive! Everyone was so friendly. The food was immaculate. Not only was the flavor on point but the temperature and presentation was superb. I loved it so much I’m going back for my birthday!
