Brookside Diner - Watertown

Love this place! It feels like pulling up a seat in someone’s home for a bite to eat. Everyone is very sweet, especially Becky who will remember your name and order. The food is simple, but enjoyable and filled with the nostalgia of family. I’m a big fan of the miss-matched mugs which again makes it feel like home. Planning to become a regular : UPDATE Becky and her husband now own the diner! AND they’re open on the weekends again. What a lovely surprise after several months of me being gone. Still as adorable and charming as ever, I always bring out of town guest by for a visit. Highly recommend!

Chronicles of the Wildman I like to ride around and find diners in the North Country. I visited Brookside Diner on 6 July 2018. I walk in and immediately see the bar. There's about 15 bar stools wrapping nearly all around the diner. I'm quite partial to bar stools, so this made me happy. I ordered a sausage plate with over easy eggs and home fries. It was such a large plate that I couldn't finish it. It was quite scrumptious and I left satisfied. Let's address the missing star. If I could remove only half a star, I would have. They had supplies stacked (neatly) in a corner of the dining room; cups, sugar packets, to go boxes, and vacuums. This very well might have been necessary due to a lack of a back room and didn't take away from my experience. I had and otherwise pleasant breakfast. I would visit again. Update: I have upgraded to 5 stars because the staff of Brookside helped me while I was recovering from a motorcycle accident. The are fun, friendly, and funny. I like hanging out with the regulars as well. Thank you, Brookside!

This place was a great pick! I am not familiar with Watertown and I drove here at 6am to drop my friend off for surgery. Knowing I was going to have a long day out and about, I decided to start with a nice breakfast. The Brookside 'regulars ' were there and as soon as I walked in everyone said good morning. I immediately felt at ease and knew this was a safe and welcoming place. Felt just like going to a good friend 's house! The food and coffee were classic diner style. I got bottomless coffee, a blueberry pancake, eggs, toast, and home fries for under $10! I 'd definitely recommend this place!

Amazing. As I have posted before I judge off of biscuits and gravy if a place has it, well folks this place has them and I want more! Most times when it comes to gravy you have to add some salt and pepper or a little hot sauce to enhance flavor. Not with this sausage gravy. Just enough spice to give it a little kick but not too much to take away the sausage flavor. The biscuits underneath were soft and fluffy. I didnt even have to order extra gravy because it came with enough on own. The atmosphere was also enjoyable. Filled with locals laughing and joking around with each other and the waitress. She was full of smiles and very attentive. Nice little place to start the morning in. Will be back for sure.

Love this place! it feels like you're pulling a place in someone's house to eat a bite. everyone is very sweet, especially becky, who will remember their names and order. eating is simple, but pleasant and filled with the nostalgia of the family.
