Reviews for Watkin's Branch Bourbon and Brasserie in Mountain Brook, AL

This first visit was between my work shifts on a Tuesday. I got there right after they opened at 3:30 pm. Having looked at the... online menu previously, I ordered the Crab Cake from the small plates section of the menu. It was delicious, but I wish it couldhave been just a smidge less browned, not that I didn?t practically inhale it as it was. The sauce was fantastic. Greatselection of bourbons, beautiful clean space, but most importantly fantastic service. Read more

We had a fantastic dinner at Watkins. One of the best steaks I?ve had, and the octopus was amazing! Definitely will go back next... time we?re in town! Read more

I wish I had taken a picture of our food because it looked amazing and tasted even better! I really think it was the best steak... I have ever eaten! (And I love steak) We had brunch and now I really want to eat dinner here as well. Also the cocktail I hadwas the best I've had in a long time. You can really tell that they would rather have a small amazing menu, rather than a bigmenu with food with no taste. Don't walk RUN to eat here you won't regret it! Read more

I was in town for a wedding and decided to give this place a try. I'm so glad I did! The staff was amazing, especially Kristin.... She knew exactly what I wanted before I did and her recommendations were spot on. I didn't even know I needed that short rib,bit it was exactly what I needed. She was one of the best servers I've had the experience getting to know, and I wish I couldhave stolen her for my hometown. Everyone needs a Kristin at their favorite restaurant. I'll definitely be back! Read more

I think I probably caught them on an off night, but by the time I ordered (10 min after arriving), there were no entrees left... except the burger, which would have been fine except it was too salty to be edible (as were the fries). I got a hibiscus OldFashioned, which didn?t taste like much of anything and a La Louisiane, which WAS very good. The watermelon salad was fine. Maybe worth another shot since everyone else seems to be enjoying it. Everyone there was perfectly pleasant. Read more

Watkin's is a hidden gem! While awaiting a table at a nearby restaurant, we decided to give this local eatery a try. The... attentive service, friendly staff, and flavorful classics definitely leave nothing to be desired. Read more

Decided to find a place for a late evening cocktail and what a treat when we saw Watkins was nearby. We came for a drink and... ended up ordering food. So good. Fresh, Friendly and Awesome. We got Fried Green Tomatoes, Crab Cake and the Elderflower OldFashion. The bartender from the French Quarter who's name i missed was a great compliment to our time. He even prepared for mea New York Whiskey sour. So yum! Highly Recommend! Read more
