Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"These folks are on top of their game. I’ve tried their BBQ, their burgers, and today I tried their large fish and shrimp plate. EVERYTHING has been delicious. It’s not the cheapest place but it is worth your money. Call your order in to cut wait time. You won’t be disappointed."
"Decided to try so bbq and found this place. I’m from out of town, so I was really taking a chance on reviews and pictures. Boy! I wasn’t disappointed! If you blink, you will drive right by and miss this place. It’s very unassuming and right off the road. The offer bbq and traditional bbq sides. They also offer burgers and nachos/loaded fries. Delicious! I opted for a large loaded fries with beef and half pound of ribs (I was hungry and my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach). The fries were really good. Think nachos with french fries instead of chips. And the ribs were sooo tender!!! They literally were falling off the bones! They package the bbq sauce on the side, and not on the ribs, which I liked because I really wasn’t a fan of the sauce. The portion was way than enough. The line or wait was long! There were already about 6 cars ahead of me. You order at the window or call ahead to order. I think they prepare everything right then or had only 1 person cooking/preparing orders because from the time I placed my order at the window, to the time I received my food was about 20mins! I also went around 6p, so it could’ve been after work rush. I would definitely return here the next time I’m in town. They are kinda pricey, my total was almost $20 for the two. But I’ll support . And I will be calling ahead to place my order this time."
"Great bbq, friendly staff. But I believe the boudin is the best. I recommend this place for a quick brisket fix. They have never disappointed me yet. Only draw back is this isn't a sit down restaurant, but still worth the trip. Go get some."
"Man if there ever was a "hole in the wall" this would be it. But the secret about that metaphor is, while heard in a negative connotation, typically means that's where you'll find the best food. Watts & Watts is no different. I have passed by many times and always looked but never stopped. This place!... I shouldn't rave too much as it might alert my secret finding however they deserve to be known. Their food is delicious, well priced, and speedy... Thanks y'all Update: you're kidding me. I ordered the potato with shredded beef this visit. What!.. this thing is TEXAS sized and delicious!... Called in to order and ready when I got there.... Love this place"
"As soon as you get out of the car, all you can smell is the bbq. It is amazing. The brisket and sides, dirty rice and friend pickles were wonderful. My sister got a burger and fries and I swear the whole container of food had to have weighed a few pounds. She said it was the best burger she ever had. Ordered some of the pound cake to bring home as we had no room for it once we were done with lunch. It was amazing as well. Can't say enough good things about Watts & Watts. If you are in the area, it is well worth the stop!"
"This place has the best BBQ I’ve ever had that my husband didn’t fix that is. The sauce is cooked into the meat NOT poured on or on the side like all the other so called BBQ places. These guys know how to make it right. They don’t have seating it is just take out but with food this good who cares. We will be back but this time I’m bringing extra napkins! Also I highly recommend the boudin link. Mmmm and their chopped BBQ sandwiches you can’t go wrong"
"By far the best barbecue I've ever had in my life. The only thing I think is they need more visibility from the road I almost passed them up. So glad I didn't they were friendly their customer service was on point and I'm so glad I stopped here. The food was absolutely amazing and they got it ready pretty quickly so fresh and delicious!! I would drive 3 hours away just to eat here again."
"My husband and I got the Bbq beef stuffed potato. It was huge!!! Very good. I would definitely order it again. We also got a 1/2 pound of sausage links. I’m not a fan. It has the texture of store bought sausage which is disgusting. We process our own so to be fair there is very few places that have sausage I like. Also read the reviews and got a piece of pound cake. It’s is very good but a little sweet for what I like. The texture and moisture of the cake is spot on. But the icing just makes it too sweet for me. The bbq sauce was tangy, peppery and a little sweet. Very good sauce. Next time we are in the area we will happily eat here again. They are Togo only. The people working here are friendly and helpful."
