We have been here many times and the food and service never disappoints! We've had brunch and lunch and we've sat out in the patio a few times to enjoy being outside while eating. It's a very comfortable vibe. Oh, and they have great Bloody Mary's! read more

We just tried this restaurant for the first time-two adults and 2 kids. The A/C either doesn't exist or doesn't work. We heard multiple people complain about it. (It was 91 degrees at 8:00 pm). The waitress just blew off the remarks, which I don't blame her. She's young and just works there. But there was a family sitting on the patio and every time the waitress went outside, where we were seated it felt like we were blasted with a heater. When they walked in to leave, they mentioned that it felt the same temperature inside as it did outside. My children ordered a personal pizza off the kids menu, each, but the waitress only brought one and my husband ordered the street taco nachos, which were good and a salad, which he said was okay. We didn't say anything about the pizza, they just shared because we honestly just wanted to leave as soon as possible. They enjoyed it. I didn't order any food because the heat just made me nauseous. The waitress was nice, raved about the strawberry shortcake for dessert (tried it, none of us enjoyed it, which is unusual for my kids). Our bill was $60. In my opinion, it was overpriced for mediocre food and the feeling of 80+ degrees in the restaurant. read more

Had dinner last night with s couple of friends. I had wings for their Wednesday night special! They were so good! All of our meals were delicious. Service was great and the punkintinis were delicious! read more

Stopped in for lunch while visiting with a friend from Seattle. At first glance all.ools well and clean. There was a stronger small of cleaner in the air than I prefer at a restaurant, very noticeable. That said, I ordered a Manhattan to start the meal. A few minutes later our server returned and informed me that couldn't make a cocktail as they didn't have a bartender! Disappointing! They were able to accommodate a draft IPA. For a starter we ordered their fried pickles. They arrived piping hot with a side of their Southwest Ranch. The breading looked delicious but someone miss measured the salt! The same person also miss measured the Tobacco in the Southwest Ranch as well. They were a big disappointment as well. The bisque was fairly good as was the meatball sub. Not sure when/if we'll ever get back to Circleville. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday so there was about 12 of us. Atmosphere looks fine. Pretty clean environment. The potato skins were good, they had this cheese beer dip that went well with the potato. I ordered their 12oz. Ribeye with Side Salad and Steak Fries. And another friend of my friend got a steak as well. I'm putting this politely, but... DO. NOT. ORDER. A STEAK. HERE. EVER. The taste was so bland, it almost like it was cooked in a microwave. The fat almost had a gamey taste to it that I almost threw up. The steak honestly might be bad. The friend that has the same meal as I did, had the same exact experience, but he was too nice to say something, he only took a couple bites. Mind you, I have not eaten at all, I could probably ate the thing even if it's below average. But the steak was honestly the worst one I've had. The steak fries look like it was taken from the very bottom of the barrel cause they look like lil baby fries and it was cold. When I said something about my steak to the waitress, it almost as if she knew it was going to happen. Like this is a common occurring scenario. By the way, this steak was $29. No clue where that $29 came from. I tried my fiancés cod fish and those were good. If you decide to go here, go for hand food, not their main entree's. read more

What do they have going good for them? The meatballs are excellent. IF they have food and beer in stock, it can be a solid place. Unfortunately, it's the nicest restaurant in Circleville. We really need a better option. Again, food is decent if they have it. As far as management is concerned, ugh... the owner doesn't live in Ohio. When he's in town, everyone is on their best behavior. But when the cat's away... I'll be back again, because I have few options. There's not much to choose from in Circleville. There are a couple solid bartenders who I love. Sit at the bar and order the meatballs. The patio is nice and they have a great party room but again, the service is hard when not sitting at the bar. I find myself having to go to the bar to ask for help. Do with this what you will. read more

Good and bad with this restaurant. Good is the pizza and service. Pizza is hands down the best thing they have there. It never disappoints. The service is good and the people that work there are always incredibly friendly and helpful. It's a great addition to Circleville and I'm so happy this is an option. Now the bad. Prices, alcohol and quality of other food. The prices are extremely high for the area and the food quality. I feel like they are trying to be a high end restaurant and it's just not that. Sometimes the menu just doesn't make sense and is all over the place. And with the alcohol, you have to use a QR reader to view it. Not a single paper list of drinks in the whole restaurant and the bartender has no idea what they have. Like I said, I'm thrilled that this restaurant is here. It gives everyone another option in the short list of restaurants in the city. The pizza is definitely the shining star for this place! I just wish they would rein in the menu and make things stellar instead of just simply okay. And maybe give more food for the very high prices. read more

Not worth the hype. The quality of the food was just below average & very overpriced for the portion & service. I ordered a salad that was probably worth $6 but on the menu as $14-17. Traveling through & stopped because the Google reviews were good. Spouse received a sandwich for $11 with fries extra. Servers were aware we weren't satisfied with the meal but did not offer to adjust the bill. Poor customer service. Will not recommend or return. read more

A filet please? "Nope we're out" Ok, a Ribeye then. "Nope we're out of those too." Hmmm, let me have the Ravioli but I'd like a small bowl of marinara and a small bowl of alfredo sauce. "The chef won't do that." Another glass of lemonade please? "You got the last glass." I couldn't make this up! Wednesday, 6pm read more

Have been here twice. The steak ribeye was pretty good. The cod is to DIE FOR!! I just got back from vacation if florida and the cod here was better than most places I visited. Absolutely a stop when in town. Ps the bathrooms are a nice touch! read more

The atmosphere of this trendy restaurant is lovely. Great patio with fire pit. The service was slow, even though they were not busy. Maybe they forgot about us on the patio.? They offer a gluten bun. It was so so. The prime burger on it however was juicy and tasty as were the fries! Good lunch prices. Got out of there for $8 for a burger, fries and water + tip read more

Watt Street Tavern is another Circleville bar. It's the nicest looking one. The place is a mess at the Pumpkin Festival. Most other times it's okay. The drinks are great but the food is not at all special. I had a Cherry Limeade. It's about $5 at happy hour. This is made with cherry vodka. It also has muddled cherries. This is strong and sweet. It would have been nice if the food was as good. There's not much that's exciting on the food menu. It has typical stuff you get in a bar. The presentation is just fancier, therefore it costs more for this. I had the soft baked pretzels. It's about $8 for three. These are much like the frozen Super Pretzels, and the whole box is cheaper than that. According to the menu these are garnished with scallions, but there weren't any. The mustard it came with was just okay. You can go here for good cocktails. Food is just typical bar quality. The food is also overpriced for what they give you. read more

They have a great party room for celebrations. We have used it several times and have never been disappointed. Our waitress this last gathering was Mia and she was on the ball!

I only review outstanding experiences. Chicken and waffles are FIRE my friend liked them so much he ordered some to go for later. Taco special was incredible - the hard shell was fried with cheese powder and spice on the outside and the beef was incredible. The rice and beans were flavorful with slight spice. The beer menu WAS their Untappd page and up to date with at least 3 banger local brews. 5. Stars. read more

Love this hometown restaurant! Always great food and drinks! Service is great too. They have a nice patio area too.

Eaten here twice while in town. Enjoyed the food both times. Pizza is good and has good selection. Ordered off the normal menu for lunch and had the chicken sandwich. It was good. Service for lunch was not great. An upscale place in a farming community, kind of interesting..... read more

They used to be good when we first moved down here. Sort of like all other restaurants, their food quality has gone very down hill and their prices have gone way higher. We used to love their fresh fries. The last two times they were in old nasty tasting grease making them dark brown. And seemed to be the end of the barrel crumbs. Their menu selection has dwindled down to VERY few things. Causing me to pay $28 for a steak. None of the meal was very warm We have started to go elsewhere. Not really worth the money anymore. read more

No one in the restaurant! Wait for 40 minute till someone shows up! The were telling me that there is a wait time of 25 minutes, although the restaurant is halfway empty! There excuses are , there is a party in the next room! Unbelievable put true! There where no more than 10 people the most! Well we find another place! All we got was the usual " I am sorry crap! I would most definitely not recommend that place unless you a local! read more

We just happened to be driving through Circleville, Ohio, en route from North Carolina to Indiana. We are staying at a local bed-and-breakfast, so we stopped here for dinner at the recommendation of the B&B owner. Oh my goodness! We are not disappointed! We've been steered to one of the best places in town I'm sure! I had the Ribeye Steak, which was cooked to perfection. Very tender and flavorful. My husband had the Pork Ribeye Steak. While my beef ribeye was excellent, we were overwhelmed with the flavor of his pork ribeye. It was tender, juicy and oh, so delicious! We would return to this town for that dish alone. Our waitress was charming and efficient. There is nothing bad to say about our first visit here. Absolutely nothing. If you're a local, you're lucky! read more

First off I didn't read the menu closely enough I thought I was getting pulled pork with a side of Mac n cheese and potato skins. When this arrived I realized my error. It was all mixed together. But it turned out to be a pleasant surprise because I liked it. I sat outside where a band was playing. They have a nice outside area that's great for summer. read more

Watt Street Tavern - Pulled pork potato skins - New American Near Me - Circleville, Ohio

I had a chance to visit Watt Street Tavern for lunch on a random, sunny Tuesday in May. After checking out their goods on Yelp, I thought this place seemed like a pretty cool place in Circleville to try out. As I write this review, I still have mixed feelings on my dining experience. So, I'll leave it at 3 stars with a revisit in the near future for dinner. Parking was easy, ambiance kinda cool, service at lunch was fine, food was ok. Here's the crux for me, I had much higher expectations for the food. After surveying the menu, we decided on wings, nachos and stir fry chicken. Nothing super special except it could be found in any other restaurant in Circleville. That's just it for me, this place has plenty of upside potential. It just needs a menu overhaul for me to kick it to the 5 star potential I expected when I first found them on Yelp. read more

My wife and I stopped in for dinner as we traveled West. The food was surprisingly fantastic! My wife ordered the ribeye which was perfectly cooked. I ordered the "pork ribeye", which I had never heard of. It was amazing! I have never had pork that was this delicious. It was soft, tender and perfectly seasoned. Their QPR is off the charts! The only thing that would I would change is moving the restaurant closer to my home! read more

The Cajun omelette was perfection! Eggs just right, delicious. Potatoes cooked just right and biscuits homemade with really good gravy. I can't say enough about this place. Everything exceptional! read more

Watt Street Tavern - We ordered the Cajun omelette and an order of biscuits & gravy and shared. Great choices - New American Near Me - Circleville, Ohio

I was really excited to go to a non chain restaurant and I've been eyeing this one for a while. Service was good. The portions were sad for the price you paid. There weren't many fries and the burger was small. The fries and burger did taste really good though but my wrap on the other hand was a little soggy. I love supporting small businesses so we may come back and try the pizza but overall I'll have to rate 3/5 read more

Watt Street Tavern - Grilled Chicken wrap / cheeseburger with tavern fries - New American Near Me - Circleville, Ohio

First time here. Place is cozy and comfortable inside with fine furniture. The menu was ample with lots to choose from. I had shrimp pizza which was excellent. Hubby had chicken cordon blue which he said was delicious. Service was good. Went back tonight and sat outside. Their happy happy hour goes to 6:30pm on Saturday! I had two Long Beach ice tea which were $4 a piece! Such a great deal. We shared 12 boneless wings which were $9.99 in Happy Hour! They were enough as a meal! Then, I had the pork sub which was delicious! Had to take most of this home. Hubby had the Ruben which he very much enjoyed! Looking forward to going back! Service was excellent! Went back tonight for dinner and had great service and delicious food. Got there just before Happy Hour ended . Got Long Island ice tea for $3.75 and it was delicious! Also got flatbread mushroom pizza and stuff mushrooms. Both were perfect! Another great experience at this establishment! read more

What the heck is going on at Watt Street? Salad sub par. No corn in the corn chowder. Out of lettuce wedges. No potato skins. Had to ask for bread and it was microwaved salty breadsticks. Sausage in the red beans and rice was overcooked until it was crispy. This has been our go to place in Circleville and suddenly the food was awful. I will give them credit (2 stars)for the perfectly baked salmon but they didnt even ask which sauce I wanted on it so didnt have any. In the past they have had a great mango salsa. I am still reeling with shock and disappointment. read more

Had a wonderful lunch of club wrap and husband had hot ham and cheese stack. We were both very happy with the meal and that atmosphere. We ate outside on the patio on a very nice day. Happy with everything. Service was excellent as well. read more

Exploring South - Central Ohio (Circleville) last Sunday and found Watt Street Tavern. Walked in at 1:30PM (They close at 2:00PM on Sunday). You could tell they were getting ready to go home for the day but the hostess greeted us with a smile (First surprise). We asked if the really had time and we could come back another time but Jessica just kept the smile going and seated us (Second surprise). Since they just started opening on Sundays, they only had breakfast menus. We didn't want breakfast so Jessica asked "What would you like?" and commenced to spouting off a list of items (Surprise number 3). I chose a Tavern Club, wife chose the Hot Stack. The food came out quickly and was delicious! Jessica was exceptional friendly and welcoming! Looking forward to going back again!!! If I could give a higher rating, I would. Great service, great food. Nice job!!! read more

Waited an hour for food that came out cold to the touch. Missing items which we waited another 20 minutes and finally told the waitress(who we had to walk around to find) to forget them and we just wanted the bill. 20 minutes later we had to go to the bar to cash out because the waitress was no where to be found. The entire ordeal took atleast 1 hour and 45 mins. We had to stop on the way home and get something ediable. read more

This is our go to for pizza in Circleville. Normally awesome. We got a pepperoni for my husband and it was awesome as always. I got the Buffalo chicken pizza for the fist time. Once we got home, I discovered there was no "Buffalo" or ranch anywhere so what I had was a cheese and chicken pizza. Very dry and no taste. It was disappointing. I still recommend the restaurant but they need to be consistent. There have been other issues and COVID shouldn't be blamed for not having all the ingredients in your food. read more

I have tried to give this place a chance so many times. The decor is nice and the service most of the time isn't terrible. However, the food always disappoints. The "crab" corn chowder is made with imitation crab and is super salty. They literally put cooked mushrooms on their chicken salads. Also, the menu does not offer much variety. Overall, I wish they would just improve on their food. read more

Watt Street Tavern - New American Near Me - Circleville, Ohio

Found this little gem by accident. We stopped by for lunch and were pleasantly surprised, as we've had bad experiences at independent restaurants in small towns in central Ohio. The food was great, beer was cold and reasonably priced, preseason football on TV, and the server/bartender was attentive, friendly, and willing to interact. It was all in all a pleasant experience and we will go back. Give it a try if you're in the area. You won't be sorry. read more

Very slow drink service for not being that busy, food was ok, pizza was probably the only thing our group of 10 would reorder

Went for wing Wednesday, No one to seat us, we seated ourselves outside on the patio. Then was told by a staff member...we may not get a server because we seated ourselves! Thankfully, the bartender came out to take our order and serve us drinks...the food wasn't Delivered promptly, which resulted in the nachos were soggy and the wings were cold. read more

It's basically what you would expect from a small town tavern... okay food, LOUD LOUD KARAOKE, and poor service. We had the Southwest BBQ chicken pizza to be safe and I would give it a solid 7.6. What really killed the night was the Karaoke and poor service. read more

Good local hangout and very popular with "the locals" at lunch and happy hour. The food selection is really good with something for just about everyone. Good service and good prices along with great drinks make this a sure stop if you are in town ! read more

Delicious food, great ambience and a friendly staff. The only downfall was the big OSU presence, haha, Go Blue!! If you're a buckeye fan they had a very nice buffet with all the favorite football food, and I mean ALL during the game. My husband got that, it was only $12.99. I got the jambalaya. It was ok, kind of heavy on the tomatoes. I'll try something else next time. The rolls that came with it tho we're outstanding. One review said they had a nice selection of beers on tap, no IPA's or a pale ale. I was disappointed in that. Nothing in a bottle either. They have a very nice patio with a fire pit and large T.V. 'S to watch all sports. One review said they were pet friendly, maybe they are when they're not so busy.IDK. We had to leave the dog in the car, so we cut our visit short. We'll be back, overall we had a nice time. read more
