| - Watson's offers a Midwestern riff on Southern comfort food.
On the rail, their drinks menu is vast. Their selection of Slushies are like the grown-up & much more sophisticated version of the 7-11 classic. I tried the Kentucky Slush ($6, oj, peach sweet tea, Fighting Cock Bourbon, lemonade, Sprite, garnished with a sliver of orange & cherry). For a non-alcoholic selection, their homemade lemonade ($2.75) is fantastic as well. You think you're getting lemonade but there's a refreshing hint of mint in there that really brings it up a notch.
If you want chicken done right, this is the place. This shack offers chicken & waffles under a different name: Chelsea's Shameless Plea ($14). Crisp, fluffy waffles with some addictive concoction of maple praline syrup comes with 2 pieces of perfectly seasoned, fried chicken and collard greens. As if that wasn't enough, I also ordered the Dark (bird by the piece) spit-fire roasted chicken ($8) with a side of green chile mac n cheese ($3). Delish!
On hot days like these, stop by Watson's where the air conditioning is strong, the service is friendly, the drinks are plenty, and the food is good.
