Watson's certainly provides the finest fried chicken in Champaign, no doubt about that! I wound up here for lunch on a Friday between checking out of my hotel and having to head to CMI airport. Grabbing a table all by myself, suitcase in tow, was no trouble at all. I ordered the Fall Bounty salad with some Nashville fried chicken (oh yeah), as well as a pint of a pale ale by Chicago's Revolution Brewing. The table was large enough to contain my laptop, which was convenient since I had to get some work done.
My beer arrived first, and the food followed shortly thereafter. Both were excellent choices indeed. I loved that the Nashville fried chicken was actually spicy--I have been underwhelmed more times than I care to share. It also paired very well with the pecans and butternut squash in the salad!
I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Champaign, and I'll try to make it out for the (more extensive) dinner menu.
