| - Before I rail against this shack, I highlight a few of the positives.
The Positives:
The fried chicken is delicious. The breading and crispiness of the fried chicken is really nice and it is done really well. Also, the Comeback sauce is really delicious. You can use the sauce for the fried chicken or the 'fries' (potato wedges) that you get with Nashville Hot Chicken, and it gives it a nice flavor. Finally, with the Nashville Hot Chicken, you get some pickles, which are really good.
The Negatives:
The gravy fries were pretty terrible. I really regretted ordering them and wish I ordered something else. While the cheese curds were sumptuous, the dish overall was just very dry and bland. There was very little to no gravy on the fries and curds to make it worthwhile. Check out my picture.
While the fried chicken was good, it just was not enough to warrant the price. Whether you get bird by the piece or the Nashville Hot Chicken, it is just not worth it. I think people buy into the hype because you're at a restaurant and you're supposed to get small amounts of really good food but at the end of the day Watson's is just good fast food fried chicken.
Overall:
I would definitely say to try the chicken once. Stay away from the gravy fries, or if you do order them, ask for an extra helping of gravy. I'm actually curious to go back and try the spit roasted to see if it is any better.
