Watson Drug Store And Soda Fountain

I was blown away that this place used marble rye! My reuben sandwich was much better than expected, given its tourist location. I also have a tailored 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 mint chip shake, served with a smile. The ONLY shutdown was the narrow, chronically clogged straw. So, BYOS

Great atmosphere with good food and a wonderful staff. Really nice place to experience some American favorites surrounded by classic Americana.

If you want a little throwback kind of vibe, diner feel with some hefty portions head over to Watson 's. I have always loved this spot, having gone to Orange High School this was one of the go to spots we would hit up. They 've been around since 1899 and love the atmosphere. If you have seen That Thing You Do you will definitely recognize this place because some scenes were shot here : We had the Cinnamon Toast Pancakes and not even 2 people could polish off the plate. It was super yummy! Besides that, burgers, fries, breakfast all great and nothing to complain on that end.

I actually visited this restaurant not to eat, but for a photoshoot to celebrate a couple's third anniversary. I just have to say that the staff here are AMAZING. They were incredibly friendly, and everyone in the restaurant joined in to congratulate the couple. Thanks for being so welcoming! The atmosphere was lovely and had a fun vibe. We absolutely loved the milkshake bar, and although I didn’t try any myself, the milkshakes the couple had looked delicious! We really enjoyed our time here. Thank you!

Watson is a historic gem located in the old town of Orange, California! It boasts the title of the oldest soda fountain in the state! As soon as you step into this charming establishment, you’ll feel transported back to the vibrant culture of 1950s America. They have also expanded the bar area and introduced a fantastic coffee bar named Kiki's Corner. If you’re ever in the Orange Circle, be sure to stop by and experience it for yourself!
