50 Best American Restaurants near Watertown

“jimmys food is excellent! however I was there for the 1st time last week, our waitress was not friendly with us. no personality, no smile..brought our food put it down walked away, said nothing. then 5 mins later, as she was walking by the table threw the receipt down, said nothing. Never came to see if we needed anything else or how the food was, she never offered desert, so we didn't get that. I had to go to the counter and ask for a box, as again she never came back to the table. there were only a few tables full, so she wasn't overly busy, meanwhile I'm watching the other waitress there, smile and laugh with her customers. I wish I knew her name, because she definitely needs to learn people skills. ohh I also heard her complaining to a customer who she must've known, about her training someone and now the other girl is waiting tables and she was not happy that this girl was doing her job basically 🙄“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“

“Awesome beautiful location cam also do catering parties or events. Great service good food. Will visit again.“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“

“Amazing family experience. Very accommodating for special needs families. Fun down to earth environment. Affordable. Employees have a great pride in all they do. Highly active & supportive in the community. Will be back.“

“Wings 100% and Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls.“

“I had a BAD experience at the location in Bluffton, SC. After calling the location numerous times with no Manager call backs I sent an email to corporate ONLY to receive back a computer generated "so sorry" response. i sent another requesting a 1 on 1 conversation with a "real" person. Still no one has reached out to me to discuss. Therefor, I personally will NOT support or recommend WAYBACK BURGERS at any location. #waybackburgers“

“Lovely dinner and dessert❤️“

“Delicious food with a beautiful atmosphere“

“I love it !“

“We had the most wonderful experience at Saltwater Grille on Saturday night! After accidentally liking the Facebook page for this restaurant rather than a similarly named one in my town, I’ve spent the last few months looking at the posts and thinking I have to visit this place. The opportunity came to bring someone special there for his birthday and it was just amazing. Having eaten probably thousands of meals in restaurants I can tell you that I met the best server ever - Suzy. She was attentive without being intrusive, personable without being over the top and she has an amazing sense of humor. The food was outstanding as well which rounded out a perfect evening! We’re already planning another visit up when it’s warmer and we can enjoy the patio and live music!!“

“Wonderful ! Delicious food , awesome atmosphere , staff and music !!“

“I LOVE this place, and my favoritest run back to order meal is their buffalo chicken salad, with medium heat! Dining in is comfortable, due to their friendly, family-like, and clean atmosphere, (always feeling welcomed and enjoyed, as if we received a personal invitation), and we'd enjoy every minute of our time spent there, and every bite of our food! Also, you should try their delicious steak hoagies and Buffalo chicken wings! Their entire menu is worth every penny spent!“

“Amazing food, service and clean eating! Fresh Maine Lobster 🦞 served any time of day as well as breakfast/lunch. No time limit on menu! Full espresso bar and many flavored ice tea options and Foxon Park Sodas!“

“My husband son and I  went to the station for Valentine's Day! We went for an early dinner to beat the crowds which was nice. G Sitting in a booth close to the patio is not recommended as you smell cigars your entire dinner. Although the drink special was too sweet and didn't care for it my chicken franchise was delicious! Our son got the chicken fingers and fries -  they should probably give more than two chicken fingers for kids and also an option for a side like a vegetable.“

“Amazing food and service in a relaxed atmosphere! We’ll definitely be returning!“

“This place is for sure a hidden gem...A small little mom & pop place that has been around a long time...They are open for breakfast & lunch...6a-2p mon-saturday & 6a-1p on Sunday. I had a grilled ham cheese and tomato and a cup of tomato soup...it was maybe 8 bucks and delicious...a value meal from McDonald's costs more...idk how they keep everything so affordable, but im glad they do...Give them a try...help keep this place going...“

“Pizzas deliciosas, massa muito bem assadas e finas Perfeitas“

“I ordered a filled bagel and a cupcake. The service was very friendly and warm, and quick though there was quite a queue. The bagel was excellent, great taste, with a small side salad. The cupcake was really moist and beautiful, the buttercream very creamy, and tasty all-in-all, though very sugary! I would recommend this place for the excellent bagels and kind service, and the cupcakes for the ones with a sweet tooth. Maybe an idea for the future to have some sweet products that don't pack quite as much sugar, but I'm definitely coming back for another bagel!“

Make a reservation and enjoy a nice dinner out.“

A special touch is the owner visits each table to ensure we are enjoying ourselves and the food. Totally recommend to anyone looking for a nice, cozy and quiet restaurant where you can actually have a conversation.“
