City Works Watertown — please don’t do this to us. I just found out you’re chopping the pork chop off the menu in February and I was in literal tears. I’m not even being dramatic. This is one of the few places left where you can get a real pork chop on the bone, and honestly what’s up with restaurants acting like bones don’t exist anymore? Even steakhouses are out here going boneless. This pork chop is that dish. Perfectly cooked every single time, juicy, seasoned right, and it doesn’t even need anything… but then you add that maple-glazed applesauce situation? Game over. I order mine on the side because I like to dip (I’m picky and I own it), and I always swap for double mashed potatoes instead of the shoestring onions. It’s consistently one of the best meals I get anywhere. I’m also n

Really reliable spot for comfy seating and good acoustics for a group. Surprisingly good for early dinners with kids, they have space to stretch and plenty of options like tater tots and sliders. They give you Wikky sticks which is above and beyond in today’s restaurant atmosphere.

Went here for brunch and really enjoyed our visit! The food was tasty, I especially enjoyed the chicken biscuit I posted a picture of, and they were really accommodating with my friend's modification. Didn't have drinks but looks like a great selection I'd like to come try in the future. Our waiter was very attentive and welcoming, and the space was big and airy. Only downside was that they had multiple TVs playing different things in the space, which isn't my favorite vibe. Otherwise a nice spot to meet up with friends!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jerelle Reverack · Jul 2025

It was my first time here, and I wasn't too impressed with the food. The service was great, friendly and helpful staff. Inside was nicely decorated and pretty clean. To start, I ordered tortilla chips with salsa and wanted guacamole, but they only offered avocado mash. The salsa was really runny, and the tortilla chips were cold with no salt. We ordered fish and chips and an Impossible Burger with no cheese. The impossible burger was pretty good, but fries were under seasoned. Overall, I guess this place is definitely more for enjoying drinks, which I did not have. It's nice for a gathering with a group of friends but for a satisfying meal, I won't visit again.

This is a well-run, clean sports bar. There is a plethora of options for both dining and the bar. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Plenty of TVs and menu options. Appetizers were the star of the show this evening. Located in a nice shopping center, I would definitely recommend on an NFL Sunday.
