Watts - Utica

Do you like pie? This is the place for the best pies in the state of Ohio. The down home menu is also full of delectable favorites. The perfect spot to eat after visiting Velvet Ice Cream nearby.

If you’re searching for a neighborhood diner that serves homemade baked goods and fresh noodles, Watts is the place to go. The menu is quite extensive, but I usually gravitate towards the heartier dishes like chicken and noodles or beef and noodles, both of which are served over mashed potatoes. Keep in mind that they close at 7 PM on Fridays. The clientele tends to be older, but they certainly know where to find the good food!

The food was very disappointing. My wife ordered the ribs, and they were so tough that we couldn't even cut through them with a fork. When we brought it to the server's attention, she didn't seem concerned at all. I've had better meals in a hospital!

Service: Exceptional – 5 stars Atmosphere: Delightful – 5 stars The service at this restaurant was outstanding, making our dining experience truly memorable. The atmosphere was equally fantastic, creating a warm and inviting space that added to the enjoyment of our meal. Highly recommended!

The first thing that catches your eye is the array of baked goods: fresh loaves of bread, cakes, muffins, and my personal favorite—pies, both fruit and cream-based. We were seated at a cozy table by the fireplace and were almost immediately greeted by our server, who made us feel like long-lost relatives with all their friendly questions. We browsed the menu, and my brother opted for a classic Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, and a side salad. I went with the chicken fried steak, bean soup, and mac & cheese. Our meals arrived promptly, still steaming hot. The server mentioned that everything is made from scratch, which was evident in the quality. They also brought us some warm rolls that were simply delicious, reminding me of holiday dinners at my grandparents’ home. The flavors of our dishes were absolutely mouthwatering, exceeding our expectations. As we were leaving, I noticed they sell bags of the rolls, so I couldn’t resist grabbing some, along with a loaf of bread from the local Amish store, Hershberger’s. I recommend visiting Watt's for lunch, then heading over to Hershberger’s—it would make for a fantastic day trip. The scenery in this part of Ohio is beautiful, especially in the Fall. I read other reviews that described it as "the best comfort food ever," and I completely agree! #SupportLocal #Mom&Pops
