The Smokey Old Fashioned was the perfect finishing touch and one of the best I've had. What really made the night special was getting to meet the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about the food and the people who walk through the door. Great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality -- we'll definitely be back.

The potato salad was great. If I was hungrier I would have gone for the Oreo fluff and a couple other things. I ordered the NY strip steak and fries. The steak was delicious and the fries were good, as well. The bartender and I talked about the area and discussed the bad weather they've been having lately and I asked about Castlewood. One of those great Midwest places!

I said the beer doesn't look good- before I could order a different one- she disgustedly poured it out and tapped another flat beer... I said- the beer is probably old or not charged anymore- she dumped it out and went back to the same tap even more disgusted. She was having a bad day- I was ready to order a large steak dinner with salad and app.... I made the decision to leave. The restaurant is huge- and it was 20% full. That should have been my first clue. Just showed up to a place with lots of locals. Service is friendly and the beer is fresh. Don't go to Mavericks.....It looks good online- menu looks great- place is clean- but the service is not very inviting.

The choice this night was tacos or the regular menu. I opted for the regular menu and a steak figuring I was in the midwest. Service was good. The food was ok.

I would normally give this 3 stars anywhere else, but relative to other restaurants here in…read moreWatertown, I bumped it up an additional star. There's plenty of parking on the street or the parking lot adjoining. Approach is open and the door is obvious. Ambiance inside is interesting; open area, semi-dimly litt with the bar to left and more table and booth seating to the right and there's a step down separate room for private events, further underpins the steak joint atmosphere. The menu options covers land, sea and air and my paaps and I landed on air and myself went with turf. The meat dish the filet oscar was perfectly cooked to medium rare with lobster, shrimp, asparagus topped off with hollandaise sauce. The chicken breast was the same quality and the dad added a side of wild rice. Wine menu is descent for the area and I ended up with a pinot that was a nice accompaniment to the steak. I've been coming to this town for quite some time and didn't know about this place, so will add it to my go to place and would recommend to anyone looking for a descent, quiet restaurant here in Watertown.

They are still in the stage of refreshing some of the interior but what's improved is the cookery of the food. On this visit it was their typical Tuesday Tractor night and was good to catch up on some ole friends. I ordered a typical dish which was their hamburger steak and side of mashed potatoes and side salad. I was surprised and impressed on how well the hamburger steak covered in their brown gravy sauteed onions and their mashed potatoes where especially tasty. That alone made the trip and food worth the visit. I look forward to seeing how their improved dishes is reflected with the other menu items.

Risotto tasted like white rice mixed with cream of mushroom soup (college food). The ribeye was charred and had too much grizzle taste like the grill it cooked on was grimy and unclean. We spent near $400 on the dinner and left sick from the over butter and sick we paid that much for THAT dinner. Not worth the drive or price.

He ordered very, very rare, and explained to the waitress that he wanted it even rarer than the photo shown as rare on the menu. When it arrived, it was well done.

My wife ordered onion rings - they arrived hot, but burned - even the onion inside was BLACK - the waitress offered to bring her new ones, but she declined. ( Who wants to get their food when everyone else is already finished eating?) Even people who got their food on grill platters had cold food, because the grill plates themselves were ice cold! I think the people that had ordered shrimp were content with their food, but most were not happy. Sorry, but I don't think our group will be visiting again any time soon. It's a shame, because the old Budger's restaurant was an awesome place to eat!
