Overall pretty good. The only problem I am not give 5/5 is my friend and I ordered the same thing, but his portion is double than mine for some reasons. And I got a super small portion. But the fried chicken is good.

I absolutely loved the hot chicken sandwich! It was devoured before I could take a photo. Overall great service and atmosphere as well.

I got the chicken and waffles and haven't stopped thinking about it since
We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday. Sat at the bar, got some great suggestions from the bartender. The rice bowl and the starchild. Neither meal disappointed. I especially liked the pickled hokra with the rice bowl. The bar has almost a nostalgic feel to it. I also had a Stone IPA, I liked it. If going as a couple I suggest sitting at the bar.

Love coming here for the good food, but I’ve never seen this. This is ridiculously unacceptable & blasphemous! Disgusting taste…

The chicken at Watsons is amazing. I moved down from Chicago and thought there wasn't going to be any good fried chicken but I was wrong. If you're looking for a good chicken sandwich you need to come try one here. If only they served Coke Zero, I'd literally double the amount of times I went there if they did.

Make reservations if you can, it can get busy here. One of my favorite places to eat and probably our only regular non-ethnic food restaurant we go to. The sandwiches are always good. If they have the Chicken Fried Chicken (whatever they call it) you should get that. It is the best. Get one of the slushies too, they'll put you on your butt.

No doubt the best chicken in town, awesome sauces and some of the most knowledgeable staff on bourbon and whiskey you’ll find. You can’t go wrong with a meal and a bourbon (neat, of course) from Watson’s.

48 for 2 WELL vodka drinks? Drink order was wrong, food order was wrong, they were out of their "secret recipe" Bloody Mary mix. Food wasn't hot and follow up requests were slow and/or absent. Bummer cuz the other half raved about the truck and Carolina BBQ sauce.
