Restaurants in Watkinsville

“I went last night and had they had delicious birria and tacos al pastor. All of the staff was very nice as well. We will be back!”

“Delicious, homestyle food perfectly cooked and a great variety of meal choices at very reasonable prices. They have a large, standard, daily menu plus revolving daily specials of the main course, sides, and desserts. Very friendly staff, consistent food quality, and the convenience of call-ahead orders with pickup at the drive-through window. My favorite meal is country fried chicken breast filet with white gravy, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, and red velvet cake for dessert!!! If they had delivery service and added soups and chili to the menu, i might not ever eat anywhere else. 😊Julie Williams”

“Great spot for lunch or dinner in downtown Watkinsville”

“Amazing staff. knowledgeable and friendly. the oktoberfest was delicious”

“So glad Martino’s has open patio!! Still don’t feel comfortable dining inside restaurants. The food was delicious as always and service was great! Shrimp scampi,salad, & of course the yummy bread.”

“Don’t walk—run to the Suncatcher Café in Watkinsville, GA for breakfast!

Tucked along Greensboro Highway, this cozy spot is a local treasure, and their biscuits alone are worth the trip. Just ask the steady stream of 4½–5 ★ reviews singing praises about their fluffy, buttery biscuits and homemade sausage‑gravy combo .

Step inside and you’re greeted by warm southern charm and the aroma of fresh‑baked goods. Their Biscuits and Gravy platter is a fan favorite—pillowy biscuits smothered in rich, savory gravy. It’s classic comfort food at its best . Pair that with their Biscuit & 2 Eggs Platter for a hearty breakfast that hits all the right spots .

But it doesn’t stop there. The Two Pancakes Platter, Hash Browns, and customizable Build‑a‑Bowl round out a menu full of down‑home southern favorites . And when the morning crowd thickens? Service stays friendly and efficient thanks to the owner’s welcoming touch .

Why the biscuits steal the show:
• Fresh-baked daily: Warm, fluffy, and slathered in butter or gravy—each bite is a pure delight.
• Locals love them: Ranked #2 in Watkinsville on Yelp’s “Top 10 Biscuits” list .
• Perfect for any meal: Ideal with eggs, gravy, or simply on their own with a cup of steaming coffee.

Bottom line: If biscuits and gravy—or biscuits and eggs—are your breakfast kryptonite, Suncatcher Café is your new go‑to. Cozy vibes, warm service, and southern-style plates make it a spot you’ll return to again and again. Don’t just think about visiting—drive over now and let those biscuits work their magic!”

“Saw this nice little hole in the wall by chance while driving through town. Deliciois fresh food, service with a smile, and quaint atmosphere. Definitely would stop anytime in the area. LOVE the hummingbirds painted on the front windows too!”

“I enjoy dining here. Hardly ever have I had bad food or service. Always a good to great experience. However I urge you to strongly reconsider having live music in your establishment. While I love music, your establishment is way to small for it. I came here to have dinner and conversation with my wife. If I wanted to hardly be able to carry a conversation and hear live music, I’d go to a bar. If this becomes a regular occurrence, I’ll find a new pizza joint. Sincerely a long time customer. And yes, there is outdoor dining, however it isn’t always available seating wise or ideal temps.”

“Amazing drinks and super friendly staff. We love our SOCO family ❤️❤️.”

“Food is delicious. Staff is friendly!”

“Sushi One is an amazing restaurant and the party room is perfect! The owners really work with you and your budget and make everything look so incredibly beautiful and festive. The food and drinks were a huge hit and people stayed longer at the party because of the welcoming atmosphere and delicious food! I highly recommend not only the restaurant and its food but also the party room as an event site!”

“Iron Horse Nutrition is always super professional and polite. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome every time. I always get the Tropical Blast loaded tea, and it’s perfect every single time. Tastes great and gives me the boost I need. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent, healthy vegan options! Don’t know anywhere else to get such quality food that tastes so yummy through a drive through (quick too!)”

“Holy Moly!! Their green salsa is to DIE FOR!!! Food is terrific and service is great!! I will definitely be back here on a regular basis!!! 1000/10!!”

“We have been to G Brand BBQ several times. Each time has been a sure joy. The food has always been excellent and the staff super friendly! We have tried many BBQ places in the area, and G Brand BBQ has become our go-to-place without question. We thought the prices were reasonable and not at all out of line. This is especially true considering how generous the servings sizes are. I give it 5 stars plus and two thumbs up! Try it! You will be glad you did!!”

“Best empanadas around! Friendly folks and very clean.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Southern Prospect. The food was delicious. We had some hiccups but the staff, Charlie and Beth, managed the obstacles beautifully. We will be back!”

“Such a great place! Cheesecake Tuesday is our weekly highlight! The food is also delicious and great portions as well, menu is priced very well! She can get busy sometimes but handles it with grace and we’ve always been pleased, never waited too long! This place is a go-to for sure!”

“We booked La Pa on wheels for our wedding and man they DID NOT disappoint. Taqueria La Parilla is mine and my husbands favorite Mexican place in Athens and it meant the world to us to have them cater our wedding. 10/10. Best service. Best food. Carlos was awesome and so communicative the whole year before our wedding!”

“While there's an outstanding bakery in Watkinsville, GA, renowned for their Bacon-Cheddar Quiche, patrons should be aware that reaching the destination involves traversing a speed trap set by the Greene County Sheriff's Office on Greensboro Highway between HWY 316 and I-20, a hazard that has led me to alter my route and avoid Greene County during my regular commutes between Auburn, GA and Shaw AFB, SC, a decision I suggest others consider as well.”

“I go here frequently after work so finish some school work and grab a coffee. The workers are always friendly and the drinks are consistently good.

Kid-friendliness: They have decafe options”

“Great experience!! Margaret Neale was ultimately the best scooper I’ve ever had before! She recommended the best flavors, let me sample everything I wanted! Will forever choose scoops.”

“Wire Park is the place to be in Watkinsville- great food, great atmosphere, and always something happening. Definitely worth a visit!”

“First time to Girasoles Restaurant in Watkinsville. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Everything from cocktails to dessert was meticulously prepared and served with precision. We will definitely be back.”

“We had never been here but my wife received a gift card so we decided to go for our 3rd wedding anniversary. We made reservations and they had a table ready for us when we arrived. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. We had money left on our card so we returned a week later and it was just as good as the first time. We highly recommended it.”

“My husband food was delightful& I completely recommend their biscuits, but my poached eggs were cooked hard. I mean like green/gray yolks cooked. It was super disappointing. All the service staff were delightful!”

“We held our annual group Christmas party on their outdoor deck last evening. Great spot for a mid-size group gathering. Food is always good and the service was excellent! Will definitely use this space again!”

“Very friendly staff and excellent service ! Will come back again.”

Kid-friendliness: Local family business! Owners live and work here in town!”

“Marcos in Watkinsville is excellent and it’s our go-to chain for pizza. The drivers are always fast and courteous and our food is hot and fresh. The owners of this franchise have always been gracious to their customers. Highly recommend, especially when you want delivery while watching the Dawgs game on Saturdays. Keep up the great work!”

“We have been twice in the last week and the food was amazing. Definitely one of the best filets I've had at a Japanese restaurant. One dinner meal is enough to feed 2-3 people!”

“I can’t say enough positive things about this place. The new location has a nice staff, laid back atmosphere, and terrific food which is the perfect mix for a hometown bar & grill. The “Cocky Cowboy” is the best chicken sandwich in the game and I’ll die on that hill. So glad to have them back in Watkinsville, looking forward to more good times, and good food, from great people.”
