This diner is what makes American diners so great! A prime example of great food, reasonable prices and it looks like all the locals know about it because even though it was packed, the service was fast, the staff was friendly and so were the patrons. My veggie omelette was really delicious and perfectly made along with the grits and rye toast! If you’ve never heard of this place, definitely pop in for breakfast or lunch because it’s definitely 5 Stars! Hey Guy Fieri! A place for Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives!

A nice little old school diner with unbeatable prices and great people. The big pancake was more than enough for 2 people and really yummy. Cash or cash app only place. Will be coming back!

First time eating here today. It was soooooooo good. I am so glad I found this straight from the kitchen good home cooked meal restaurant. My family and I will most definitely be returning to try more of the menu. Thank you for the old feels of a great place to eat. Oh, an Ashley (our waitress) was top tier amazing as well and was very attentive to my husband and I. Thank you guys for a beautiful experience, and see y’all soon.

Just a great old southern diner. Just a heads up that they don’t take card.

Yall the food here is so good! Keep this place a hidden gem for my sake ! This right here is my go-to, the Carney Barney with a side of corned beef hash. It’s $10 for everything, and I have to stop myself from coming in everyday just so I don’t get sick of it! The two blonde girls that are always running the front area are SO KIND! And where else can you get a chicken fried steak sandwich the size of your hand?!? Peppered and seasoned to perfection at that.

Visiting Raleigh Decided to try this place…I love the local hole in the wall type places and that’s how I would describe Watkins.
There was nothing wrong with this place but nothing that would make me want come back
A lot of the food seemed like it was instant and not homemade. Instant like out of a box or can, specifically the sides. The main portion of the entrees (the meats) were nice portions but didn’t really have any overall flavor.
The staff was was friendly.

Friendly service. As of today the sanitation grade is 90.5. Not terrible, but could be better. The omelettes were great. The sausage gravy, fried fish, and potato salad could have had more flavor, but on the flip side I’m glad they weren’t doused in salt. You can season to your personal taste. It has a family, down home, no frills atmosphere.

This place was horrible. We came for breakfast and it took more than 30 mins for our food to come out. I literally ordered French toast and scrambled eggs. Takes 5 mins to make. It wasnt even that busy in there. We had to get the food to go. Food tasted literally horrible. The eggs had a nasty smell. Shell in the eggs. Tasted so nasty. French toast was gross. Will literally never return here.
