Halfway Cafe

My local sports bar! So many televisions, so much seating, too! They have cheap beer and free popcorn. They have a seasonal food and cocktail list and their seasonal food specials are some of my favorites! Their korean fried chicken sandwich lives rent free in my head.

Wife Drove from marlborough to Watertown to get some wings. Used online ordering. Bartender asked her to sign the reciept and highlighted that online she didnt leave a tip. She was going to leave a cash tip of $10, but instead she left a $7 (10%)credit card tip so they can pay their taxes on it. The kitchen processed the order- you simply handed it to her. Amazing the attitude of the bartender. We have been customers for over a decade and are willing to drive 40 minutes, at least we were...

I really enjoyed this neighborhood dive. Somehow I never made my way over here and now I wish I had gone sooner! With so few neighborhood bars in the area, I'm so glad that I not only found one, but a great one. It looks like there is. Trivia night on Tues which I will def check out! The atmosphere is bright and cheery despite a little sticky menu grime. While you wait they give you the most buttery salty movie theater popcorn to munch on. The food was very good. I recommend the surprisingly good clam strip roll and the burgers are juicy and delish. Gluten free rolls are available too. The service here is stand out.

Happened to be in Watertown, googled nearby restaurants for lunch and Halfway cafe came up as a suggestion. It was only a mile away, so I decided to try it out. In business since 1964, it turned out to be a lively place with friendly staff and good food. I ordered a beer, which came with a small bowl of movie theater popcorn to much in while I waited for my grilled chicken sandwich. I enjoyed my yummy lunch while watching the French open on one of the large screen tv’s. A nice place to hang if you find yourself in Watertown.

It’s unfortunate I’m giving a mid rating because this place is great with a wonderful staff and great selection of meals and drinks. Came here to try their Rueben, and it was a let down. Bread was soggy and had a taste of cardboard. The meat was extra fatty which I’ve had before but meat tasted like it was pulling out of a bag and warmed up for a bit then dropped on the plate. The sauerkraut was expected to be flavorful and it only came to be subpar. The only saving grace for the sandwich was the dressing and the pickles. I would highly recommend anyone to get anything else on the menu. Incredible wings with great many sauces. Great beer selection too. But the Rueben is a definite no.
