We ordered the mac + cheese and broccoli raab to start, both were great. Maybe a bit small but REALLY good. For entrees, my gf ordered the Veg dish...it was wrapped in phyllo dough with portabellas and pesto...she was freaking out about how good it was and this girl knows good food. I ordered the duck...it was really good as well, but I was feeling like I shouldve gone with what she had. Both were amazing. Service couldve been a little bit better but no biggie...we were sitting outside and it was towards the end of the night. She really wants to go back and is still talking about the veg dish she had.

I love this place. I have had some incredible meals at Watty & Meg, and I love the go to grass fed hamburger on brioche!! I live in the neighborhood, and I have watched this restaurant grow from the day they opened. The food is always great, always fresh, and the staff is absolutely charming. The decor is old fashion and club like. Warm, cozy and inviting! This place is a class act!

We used to love Watty & Megs, but recently went and were shocked at how tiny the portions were. We asked the waitress, who informed us that they needed to reduce the sizes due to increased costs. Whatever! Charge me a little more. I don't want a plate with 3 leaves of arugula.

We tried it out for brunch. My first impression of the place is that it's cute. The decor is simple. It is larger than I thought. There is a dinning room at the front and a second dinning room in the back. I started with the gazpacho with lump crab garnish. When they say, "garnish", they mean it. I figured it would be a couple of bites. It was more like a teaspoon. The gazpacho itself was good. It was very smooth and liquid-like. I personally like my gazpacho to have more texture. I like to taste and feel the small bits of tomato, peppers, etc. But to its credit, it was very flavorful and refreshing. I then moved on to the Pinelands Farm burger. My girlfriend had the BBQ Long Island duck hash. My burger was good. I did order it medium rare and got it closer to medium. Good news was it was still very juicy and good. Keep in mind, they will charge you an extra dollar for sweet onions, cheese, bacon and/or avocado. So it adds up quickly. So what about the duck hash? The duck hash was cooked with the potatoes and flavored with a BBQ sauce over a bed of greens and topped with a sunnyside up duck egg. The egg was good. Overall it was pretty good. I found the BBQ sauce somewhat overpowering and a little too sweet. It really masked a lot of the duckiness of the duck - which is hard to do. It was very rich. All in all, I think the food was fine. The service was good. Our waitress was attentive though we were stuck in the second dining room. However, I walked away feeling like we had paid too much for a brunch for two. The food was good. But not sure it was worth the cost. That is why I am giving it two stars.

We ventured out to Watty and Meg for an early dinner with our almost one-year old and was preparing ourselves to shovel our meals down and escape with a screaming child. However, much to our surprise, the staff was incredibly sweet to our daughter and kept her entertained. And the food was truly excellent. I had scallops and salmon, and both were perfectly prepared. It is a little pricey, but the atmosphere was so pleasant, I think it's worth it. We will definitely be back.

Never need to go back to Watty & Meg. Food was okay but severely overpriced and the brunch portions were tiny. A plate of maybe 5 small potatoes served luke warm and under-seasoned was $4 (and don't most brunches that cost $15 a plate come with a potato side?) Service was poor, only some tables seemed to get bread baskets, needless to say we didn't, we were not greeted by our waitress for awhile, and no one bothered to refill our water glasses throughout the meal. Definitely much better brunch options in the neighborhood!

We live down the street from this great new place. Like the website says, it really has the look & feel of a neighborhood staple. Fantastic friendly staff. Great specials, and the standard menu is also excellent. I agree with the poster below who said the cut of steak could have been a bit better for the price, but everything else was fantastic. Among other things, we had scallops, pork tenderloin, and out of this world butternut squash soup. Comfortable choices with lovely new flavor twists, great vegetable sides and to-die-for mashed potatoes. One sad note - the salty chocolate tart wasn't really a hit at our table.
