11 Best American Restaurants in Watertown

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“Great spot for food and sports. staff all great to highly recommend going here“

“One of my favorite dive bars with an amazing summer menu. Lobster rolls and clams for a decent price, good portions and no wait AND you don't have to drive into the city for any of it ?? Trivia nights are also great, but sit closer to the guy because it's the pen/paper/ runner style instead of the modern ones where you submit on your phone. I love the staff here, they always get the job done right.“

“Very good, affordable modern dining. Great entertainment/atmosphere. Like almost all restaurants, salt content is unnecessarily high. 25% of all Americans would benefit from lowered sodium levels, and increase restaurant business accordingly.“

“Best burger in town and I love the sweet potato fries!“

“great waiter tonight with his funny face mask 🎭 .. great wine the lemon pasta is to die for I'm love with this place .. great recommendetion thank you for your hospitality 😊 also a restaurant chef and I give 5*****“

“What a great meal at Branch Line! This was my first visit, my companions had dined here before. Very lively with beautiful warehouse-vibe decor. Our server was amazing, charming and attentive. The food was delicious, highly recommend the Crab Louie app, tons of crab. Presentation of all items was spectacular. Only complaint: two of us had the risotto with scallops added—the scallop was chopped into tiny pieces and was most likely only one on each plate. That was disappointing especially for such a class act restaurant. But still yummy.“

“I highly recommend Greg’s restaurant. My best friend from high school Nikki who 41 and I who 41 love to go here . We go frequently. Our favorite. Nikki is in love with the summer picnic salad and literally gets it every single time we go. She knows she likes it so she goes with it kind of like Sheldon on the Big Bang theory. I love this salmon dinner , salmon bowl , grilled chicken dinner , Their veggie burger , the crunchy Chinese chicken salad and both quinoa salads . We went last night and Nikki had piece of strawberry shortcake. It was huge and so good she said . They are noted for their desserts. Bear desserts and meals around! Nikki also loves their clam chowder. Last night dining down in the pub section where we love to go we had the sweetest waitress Britney who said she remembers us cause we go a lot. We’ve had another young lady waitress with glasses couple tones who’s sweet too and a young handsome male waiter who’s awesome too. Greg’s makes best pickles too. Greg’s great place to get a great meal and dessert! We go to the East providence location on Pawtucket Ave.“

“was in a last week Food was great and Denice waited on us. She was so attentive and so friendly. Such a great server! I will definitely be back and hope we get her again.“

“The food is delicious. Breakfast tostado plate is one of those dishes you find yourself craving every weekend morning. A couple of downsides though: it's impossible to find a phone number to call this place to order your food and when ordering online you can't indicate any customizations (like "no cheese" for allergy reasons for example). Outside seating is a nice touch when the weather is nice but during the summer the place is like one giant bee hive. Bees everywhere. Also once it gets cold outside, there are only a few tables inside which makes takeout and having a number to call that much more important!

Dietary restrictions: There's no way to indicate any dietary restrictions when ordering online and I've never been able to find a phone number to call to order takeout.“

“One of Massachusetts's biggest hidden gems. There isn't many better places out there known for their tacos and other Honduran dishes. Their quesabirria tacos are sublime, as I have not had better yet. Papusas and tamales are also very underrated appetizers. I wish there were a more expansive menu for stews, soups or other Central American dishes that would further expand my palate. Higher percentile ranking for their pricing, but very much well worth it.“
