Get there as early as possible. The biscuits and gravy are homemade and sell fast. They are definitely worth it. Coffee is always fresh and the atmosphere is so comforting. Definitely glad that small cafes like this still are around.

Yummy food, great service, and it has a relaxing/nostalgic diner feel. I wish they had more gluten free options, and if your wanting their famous biscuits try to be there before 10 am! They go fast. Amazing people honestly, it's worth the visit

Had a hamburger and fries. The burger was fresh and delicious. House made ranch was good. Coffee was drinkable, just regular diner coffee. Serves breakfast all day but biscuits are made daily and might run out. One server for the whole restaurant so service may be

So happy we found this place for breakfast options! We came in Sunday morning and were quickly seated. Service was quick and attentive. Felt like having breakfast at a local spot. Prices were great and food came out quickly.

This is a cute little (tiny) local breakfast and lunch Cafe with a casual atmosphere.Service is friendly and accurate. Food is cafe typical, but always good.
Always great people, good food and people know each other.

We own Pow Pow Fireworks just down the road from Watkins. When it’s fireworks season, we always visit Watkins Cafe. The service is great and so is the food. Friendly people and always a joy!

Very nice and enjoyable. Not busy on a Sunday. Good find. Everything was good. Side note: I would prefer real butter on the toast not liquid popcorn butter. I thought that was unusual.
