Doc Watsons

Stopped for lunch at Doc Watson’s in Oakland, NJ and had a great experience. Service was friendly and quick. We started with the chili, which came with crispy tortilla chips and hit the spot. We ordered two spicy chicken sandwiches. Both had a breaded chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, frizzled onions, and chipotle mayo. One came with bacon and maple fries, the other with regular fries. Everything was hot, flavorful, and satisfying. Solid lunch stop with good food and great service.

The back room was perfect for our class reunion in October! The atmosphere was lovely and the food was fantastic! Bernice and Meg were wonderful to work with in the planning and Gavin was an absolute rock star the night of the event! 🤘Parking was easy and the bar staying open late was a bonus for people that kept the party going. I highly recommend and am so glad that Oakland has this gem of a restaurant in town :)

Full respect for all reviews HOWEVER! The fish tacos are SO delicious! We had them for appetizer but have thought about them every day. You have got to try them. I am making them my meal next time! Nice to have a good, solid eatery so close.

This place is a gem!!! The food here is very good comes out so so so quick, I mean today I had the French Onion Soup and it was very very good. My associate got tater tots and they pop in your mouth 10/10 I would definitely recommend this place on any day of the week.

We came for dinner last night with a group of 6. So thankful they sat us at a round table. It’s so much better for conversation! Overall it was a good experience. The bourbon mule was a hit. The salty pup needed a little more grapefruit flavor, the doc’s tea was a bit watery. The cucumber over mint lemonade tasted perfectly of cucumbers but the mint lemonade was missing. Aperol Spritz was great!! The service was fantastic. Very friendly servers. For appetizers we ordered the Brussels sprouts over whipped feta. It was the best dish of the evening in my opinion. The other app we ordered was the tater tots and those were super tasty as well. Everyone was happy with their entrees. A few items of the special menu, a pizza, fish & chips, and a spicy chicken sandwich. One person ordered
