Watkins Grill in Raleigh is a classic, family-run restaurant with a long history. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with Confederate decorations on the walls. The food is consistently good and the prices are hard to beat. The wait staff is friendly and after a few visits, they may even memorize your favorite order. The breakfast menu is especially popular, with Mickey Mouse pancakes for the kids and generous portions of classic Southern diner fare. The parking lot can be a bit of an adventure, but it's worth it for the amazing food and service. It's a great spot to go during Covid, as they are taking extra precautions to keep everyone safe. Whether you're in the mood for grandma style Southern home cooking or just want a delicious breakfast, Watkins Grill is the place to be!

A True Taste of Southern Comfort! If you want a meal that feels like a warm hug from your mama or grandmother, Watkins Grill is the place to be. As a first-timer, I was instantly hooked by the quaint, homey, and wonderfully country-esque vibe. It feels less like a restaurant and more like gathering in a cozy kitchen surrounded by good company. My partner, his son, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. The food was hot off the grill, perfectly seasoned, and absolute finger-licking comfort food that truly sticks to your ribs. They have a fantastic main selection, but definitely keep an eye on the whiteboard for the chef’s daily specials! We are already planning our next trips back for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was a beautiful, loving experience with incredible flavor. Do yourself a favor and check it out! Order type: Dine in Price per person: $10–20
