My brother and I went to the Watch City Brewery for lunch this afternoon with my 2 year old nephew. We were seated almost immediately, then no one greeted us again for at least 15 minutes. The waitress barely spoke about a whisper when she came over to us finally and did not say sorry for walking by us 4 times prior to greeting us. Honestly, we almost went someplace else but my nephew was really hungry. The food came up quick, thankfully, but the manner in which it was served as well as the fact that the waitress never came back to offer another drink or ask how everything was made for a very disappointing dining experience.
Pros: Good Food
Cons: Poor Service, Overpriced

Watch City brews some spectacular beers - this is not the place for the 'lite' beer sipper. If you like real beer, waste no more time and try out Watch City. Some of the best local brews I've had in the area. The food is also impressively tasty, though I must say the quality of their brews overshadows the food for me. I've always been happy with my meals, and their menu is seemingly always expanding. The Watch City Roller is a nice accompaniment to a pint of Hops Explosion IPA. Prices are more than reasonable - just beware the crowds at dinner hour.
Pros: great beer, good food, atmosphere

I have been going to Watch City for years. It just gets better and better. Reviews by whinny vegatarions DO NOT COUNT!! The food is great. I bring my kids in on Sundays. It is a very kid friendly place. The movie theatre next door is great too. You can have a nice dinner(pasta, fish, sandwiches). Then just walk 100 yards to the movies. Did I mention the beer? Always fantastic.
Pros: beer, good parking, large portions
Cons: closed for lunch on S

I love the beer at Watch City. The food is another story. Although I love the onion rings, some of the other food could be improved. The nachos are unlike any other nachos I've seen. A plate of beans, cheese, and salsa is served next to the chips. It gets pretty messy, and it's gross looking at the big soupy mess. The jalapeno poppers are good but they are sitting on canned tomatoes which makes them soggy. I'm not sure how the tomatoes are supposed to be eaten anyway. The veggie burger they serve is obviously frozen, and not good. They have a vegetable pasta rotation that changes every few months. None of them have been tasty. I would love to see more appetizing vegetarian options. I don't eat meat but I've heard the other dishes are good. A favorite is the Watch City Roller sandwich.
Pros: good beer
Cons: bad food

Brewpubs keep folding, but Watch City still does it right. They always have great beers on tap, and the food is always an extra bonus. Big Beer lovers try the IPA, Titan and the Stout. My wife liked the "Pie eyed" Pumpkin Ale. As far as food goes, try the Nachos, chips are on the side, excellent idea.
Pros: Beer, Service, Food
Cons: Noise
