Reviews For Watson's Drive In

The burgers and chicken strips were delicious. The portions were large and the tots very crispy. One of the best burger places for sure! The place does need to get repainted.

The first time I visited Denison, I experienced this hamburger joint per the advice of a store clerk on Main Street. I ordered the Porky's burger w/ Cheese and it was fantastic. The bacon was cooked to perfection. My only recommendation is to either order a double or triple patty burger due to the patties being on the thin side. The veggies were fresh, the patty was good and the tots were cooked correctly. Will come back and try a triple with a pineapple shake.

Much better than Whataburger. Beef patty tastes like it was cooked on a backyard grill. Friendly server.

This spot was PERFECT and exactly what we wanted after a hike. The burgers were superb, crispy fries, and the onion rings (made in house) had a great texture and flavor. We will definitely be back. What a cool hidden gem!

All the best parts of being an old fashioned drive in burger joint…and it tastes so good! It’s a destination spot if you don’t live nearby trust me.

Just had lunch here and was not disappointed. The food tastes very fresh and was worth the small wait. I didn’t get ketchup but after tasting the food I didn’t care because the flavor is so good that it honestly didn’t really need it. Highly recommend coming here
