Story

Who We Are.

Watson's is a fine-casual chicken shack and bar, specializing in fried and rotisserie style chicken, but more specifically the Nashville Hot Chicken. This delectable chicken is supplemented with our house made biscuits and pie, seasonal sides, and our chef-driven appetizers and specials. To help wash down this tasty food we have hand selected a multitude of craft beers and spirits--not to mention our creative cocktail and slushy concoctions are not to be over looked. And, for the night owls out there, we will be featuring live performances from local and aspiring musicians in the bluegrass, blues, funk, country, folk & Americana genres.

Our Mission.

By capitalizing on the national food trend towards a more sustainable and transparent food system, we hope to contribute to our local food-ways by supporting regional agriculture, educating our consumers about sustainable farm practices, and provide an example by which affordable food can be made with higher standards of quality and integrity.

A newer restaurant that focuses on chicken and does not disappoint. Full bar, excellent pie, interesting menu, friendly and accommodating staff. Accessibility was fair to good for Mom's wheelchair and when she had her heart set on chicken tenders, they accommodated her by making a nice chicken cutlets basket with steak fries.

Fantastic customer service! We ordered through Order Up and ended up missing a few items from our order. I called the restaurant and they offered to get in touch with Order Up and have them bring out the rest of our order. About 10 minutes later, a different gentleman showed up at our door with our food. He introduced himself as the owner and apologized for the inconvenience. We are very impressed. The food was great and the customer service even better!

If you are looking for fried chicken Carolina style I would check it out (limited menu options), but prices a bit high. I paid $16 for for a sandwich. It was a very good sandwich but also heavy. I would go again but only if craving spicy fried Chicken.

Wife was craving fried chicken that wasn't KFC so we tried this place. I had 1lb of hot wings...came out cold with little to no sauce...the wife had the breast, wing, & smashed red potatoes. Potatoes: cold and bland, breast was the dinkiest piece of chicken in history. The biscuits were the only decent part of the meal. All & all was terrible food at a high price, and by the time we took our hour drive home the wife had to cook her something to eat. $40 pissed away on poor food!
