Watson's Chophouse

I am from San Diego, CA where the food scene is incredible of course! My Dad and I were checking out Muskogee and stumbled upon this newly opened chop house! It was excellent! I made a reservation with ease on their website. I was able to note that I was taking my Dad out to a nice lunch to celebrating something special, his wedding anniversary with my mother. A really nice location. Just big enough. I ordered a Raspberry Lemon Drop Martini to start, it was beautiful and well made! Food was great! I had the Picahna Kabobs. It came with a garden salad and a side. I had the vinaigrette for dressing and asparagus for my side! All dishes were very good! Asparagus was nicely cooked! My Dad has the Mushroom Swiss Grilled Chicken Breast, excellent flavor! We also tried the tabouli, which was a different preparation than I am used to, but has a wonderful flavor as well! They had a nice crowd of people, but the service was still top notch! At the end, they were sweet enough to bring us a sweet treat to celebrate my Dads special day! We will definitely be back to try out dinner as well, but will also return for lunch! Great addition to the community! Check it out!

We were excited to have a steak house open up near us. Watson's takes reservations, which we were unable to get, but they opened up a few walk-in spots. We went on Sunday evening with the hopes of getting a table. We got lucky as they had some folks cancel so we got right in and seated. The ambiance and atmosphere is very nice. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. The owner even came by a few times to check on us. We were a party of four. My wife had the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. She also had the Brussel sprouts and loaded potatoes. Excellent. I had the 12 ounce sirloin cooked medium rare along with scallops, house salad and asparagus. It was all very good. I ordered a shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. It was good (not the best but still delicious.). Our friends had the bacon wrapped filet mignon along with the lobster cream sauce, a huge wedge salad and loaded potatoes. Cooked to perfection and delicious. He also had a smoked old fashioned which he said was great as well. His wife ordered the picanha. She raved about how good it was. We didn't have dessert as we were too full. My total bill with tip was $159.00. Worth every dollar. We will be back.

First step in... we'll be back!! Service is great .. food is delectable!! Thank you for serving us!!! Even though we love our steaks medium well, y'all did WELL DONE... sorry for the pun, but it was well fitted. Steaks were cooked to order. I do definitely recommend. Please tip your table staff.. they do work hard here to ensure you are satisfied.

After much anticipation we tried the newest Muskogee dining spot. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting with a nod to the historical building's vibe. Our waitress Megan was awesome and friendly. The mozzarella stick appetizer was surprisingly flavorful and fresh. The 8oz filet was cooked well and not over seasoned. The hit was the Mac and cheese, though. It was gooey and delicious. Can't wait to be back and try a pasta dish.

I finally got to check this spot out after a friend snagged a lunch reservation for our whole friend group! I've heard nothing but great reviews from friends and community members, and I fully agree. The hype is worth it. It's beautiful inside. They've done a splendid job with the history of the building. Our group of 8 started with drinks, and my spicy Bloody Mary was perfect. Our server was fantastic, and she was the one making our drinks too. They don't have appetizers on the lunch menu, which was interesting. But you don't miss them once your food comes out. Portions are great. I got the calf fries! They came with cocktail sauce, which is interesting. It came with a garden salad and 1 side. I got the Mac & cheese, and it's insanely delicious. It comes out piping hot in a skillet, so it's crusty on top and so creamy. I'll definitely be back many more times for hopefully years to come. They are planning to have weekend brunch soon, and I must try the dinner menu. My only criticisms are: wait time for food (not service) was quite long and they weren't too busy. I'd love to see at least some appetizers on the lunch menu. And my bread pudding dessert was fantastic, but a little bit of homemade whip cream on top would have just elevated it even more.

I was so excited to finally get to try Watson's after hearing so much hype! This is the premiere fine dining location in Muskogee! The first thing I love about Watson's is their attention to detail and reverence for the building's past. The interior was beautifully renovated! During the renovation, part of the original tile work from George's was uncovered and was framed into the new flooring. There are several historical photos and newspaper clippings for patrons to learn and appreciate the building's tale. The lunch menu is extensive and our service was great for a table of 8! I started out with a garden salad with ranch. The dressing is house made and very creamy. The salad was very fresh! For my main dish I had the 12 oz. New York Strip with asparagus. The steak was cooked to perfection and had that hard to get crust while being tender and juicy. It was also seasoned just right. The asparagus was tender with a slight char. For dessert we shared the bread pudding. It was moist, delicious, and not too soggy. Don't expect to be in a hurry eating here for lunch. The service is great but the food takes time (worth the wait)! Watson's is an experience, not an in-and-out lunch/dinner spot. I definitely want to go back for dinner and update my review. That tomahawk steak is calling my name!

Wow just WOW! This is just what Muskogee needed! I tried to make reservations for dinner but on day one it was booked for the next month. But I was able to make lunch reservations for today and it did not disappoint! We ordered a little of everything so let me share my favorites.........EVERYTHING!I started with a cup of lobster bisque. It was delicious and full of lobster meat. My friend got the French onion soup that was also amazing. I would have left happy had I stopped there but then I would have missed the picanha kabob. Grilled to perfection and melts in your mouth tender! Hubby got a ribeye sandwich that was filled with marinated perfectly cooked slices of ribeye steak. I only had one bite because that's all he would share and it was so good! I had a 6oz filet that did not disappoint with a side of asparagus. This was tender and juicy cooked medium perfect. A friend had mac and cheese that was delish too but the mashed potatoes came out in a cast iron skillet smothered in a heavenly amount of butter and stole the side show! The quesadilla my friend got looked wonderful but I was so in love with my steak I didn't try it but they were pleased not to have to share. We should have left stuffed to the brim with all the goodness but we didn't. We ordered and shared the Bread pudding served in a cast iron skillet with the most awesome sauce of all the awesome sauces. The ambiance was very elegant and classy like something you'd find in an upscale New York City steakhouse. The star of the decor was the bar or was it the cozy booths or maybe it was the leather chairs at the tables . It is just a delight for the eyes. It feels elegant but homey all at the same time. The drink options were top notch and the staff were attentive, polite, dressed professionally and clean. Our hostess greeted us and took us to our table where our drink order was taken right away. The general manager greeted us and made recommendations and came back as we finished up to ask about our experience. The owners were also on site making sure everyone was greeted and receiving top notch service. The Watson family has made sure every aspect of your dining experience is enjoyable and the highest quality.Thank you for bringing your high quality dining option to downtown Muskogee. Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or romantic date night or just have a wonderful lunch or dinner.Well done Watson family.

I really love the atmosphere in the restaurant. The food was great too. The only problem was the service. We waited 40 minutes for our cocktails and about an hour for our food. Some of our food was no longer hot when it finally arrived. When I asked our waitress about the drinks, she was pretty testy and still didn't bring them for another 20 minutes. We will still give it another try!

Excellent restaurant all around. Burgers are thick and flavorful. I had the regular burger and it was perfect. I also had the mushroom swiss with truffle aioli and it blew me away. The sides (fries, brussel sprouts, potato casserole, and mac n cheese) were all perfect. Wedge salad was fresh, cold, and crisp with homemade dressing. It was delicious! The filet was cooked perfectly medium rare and one of the best cuts I've ever had. The Wagyu was like warm butter, taste and tenderness. Could not ask for a better steakhouse in Muskogee. Everything was perfect. side note: These dishes were from four different trips to the restaurant. There are still a lot of items I have yet to try, but not for lack of effort. This place is fantastic!

Best steak I've had in years. 12oz fillet and got a free brownie for my birthday The rest of the food with really good also
