6. Clifford's Steak & Ale
Clifford’s Steak & Ale
Based on the name, you can probably take a guess at what people come to Clifford’s for. Clifford’s really knows how to cook a piece of meat, no matter which animal it’s from, so the steak, chicken, and seafood choices are all tender and flavorful. Its claim to fame is the chicken ‘Hot Wangs’ – pictures of which are proudly displayed in the store. Clifford’s has weekly specials, and if you follow the Facebook page, you’ll drool at the posted information about, for example, the stuffed shrimp or filet mignon with crab meat.

7. Charley's at The Goss Opera House

Off the Clock Chop House
If you couldn’t tell already, Watertown is a great place to get a steak, and Off the Clock Chop House falls right into that pattern. It keeps the recipes simple but flavorful, opting for quality over pretension. Some of the sides are also house favorites, like the cheese sticks. For the non-steak eaters among you, the coconut shrimp come highly recommended, but it’s still the steak that takes center stage. If you manage to make it through to the end with room left in your stomach, go for the blonde brownie dessert – you definitely will regret not getting one if you happen to see it being delivered to another table.

Guadalajara
If you’re looking for something a little spicier, head over to Guadalajara for the best Mexican food in the area. The restaurant is colorful, warm, and welcoming, and the friendly service will only confirm that further. The food always comes out fresh, and you’ll generally be able to take home leftovers from the large, filling meals. And, of course, you’ll be greeted with chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. This is a great place to try that favorite Mexican dessert, flan – don’t be put off by the texture; it’s delicious!
