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!”

“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!!”

“Great spot for lunch or dinner in downtown Watkinsville”

“Delicious hometown breakfast spot! We were looking for a place in Watkinsville to get a good breakfast, and this place delivered.

The service- The ladies running the place did an incredible job. They were short staffed, but still took the time to chat and make us feel at home.

The food- Good grief. Best biscuits and gravy I've had since my Granny. Seriously. Just, go, get it. The Ham is a true country ham. The eggs were perfect, to order. The French toast was good, but be warned comes with powdered sugar. If not your thing, just ask them to hold it. For meat sides they have the usual, but also spam and fried Bologna! Again, not since my Granny. I just love this place. Absolutely the best biscuits in town.

Overall, just go. It's local folk, good conversation, just a lost thing these days.”

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

“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”

“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!”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“Worth the 15 minute drive. The lunch bento was a good size and everything tasted really good. The spicy tuna sushi didn't even need any soy sauce, it just melted in your mouth. The taro boba was good as well.

The fried ice cream was bigger than I thought it would be but there is a cake around it that is really soft. That paired with the crunchy outside is really good.”

“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.”

“Omg i come for the amazing weekly homemade cheesecakes but that blackened Grouper sandwich is off the charts SOOOO GOOOD! Also love love love their Bison burgers and drunken boxcar fries and fried Shrimps! One of my absolute favorite places to eat!🙀🩷‼️🍽🐟🍔🍤”

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

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

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

“Scoops Watkinsville is a local gem!

From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a cheerful atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is truly amazing—friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do.

And the ice cream? Absolutely delicious. Every flavor I’ve tried has been rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced—whether you’re into the classics or something a little more adventurous, there’s always something new to love.

The shop itself is beautifully decorated, with a charming vibe that makes it the perfect place to relax with friends or bring the whole family. It’s more than just a stop for a treat—it’s an experience.

Their social media presence is also top-notch. It’s fun, engaging, and always keeps you in the loop about new flavors and events—plus it never fails to make me smile.

Scoops Watkinsville has quickly become one of my favorite places, and I can’t recommend it enough!”

“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 food, service and location. I love brisket and Tamez does it right! Breakfast is awesome.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Great place to grab a quick breakfast. I typically get either the half yogurt and granola or the half sausage gravy and biscuit. Always tasty and a nice generous portion for the price.”

“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!”

“The meals from the classic Varsity menu are available with an easier access.”

“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!”

“Great food, staff and prices!”

“Food is delicious. Staff is friendly!”

“Watkinsville fusion cuisine hidden Jewel. You wouldn’t guess that a high end restaurant would be tucked away in a small building. You will get transported to whole new world. Any choice of entree will not disappointed. It’s a little expensive but well worth it.”

“Food is always fresh and tastes good. Service is friendly! Bought takeout quite a few times without any issues. It's a small dine in area, not really suited to eat in. For take out a 5 star!”

“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!”

“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.”
