Watson's Soda Fountain & Cafe - Orange, California

116 E Chapman Ave
Orange, California
 

 
 
 I haven't been to Watsons in 6 or 7 years. I was super sad to see it completely changed. It's no longer a piece of history. It was a place lost in time. Now it's modern, trying to look vintage. That doesn't make sense. Heartbroken! 
 


We decided to sit outside, since the inside now isn't special, and looks like every other restaurant. It was a comfortable Sunday afternoon. 
 
 


I ordered a maple bacon milkshake. It tasted like vanilla, with a piece of bacon here and there. Nothing special. We ordered the Billys brussels with balsamic glaze, parmesan cheese, and bacon. They were pretty darn good. The vinegar gave them a nice zing. They could be cooked a bit longer. 




I ordered the I Love Lucy burger. It had mac and cheese on it. I didn't realize it only had mac and cheese. I would have added bacon and onion. Maybe avocado. Some mayo. The mac and cheese had basil in it, I think. That was was overpowering, and all I could taste. It kinda ruined the burger for me. It's very messy too! Be warned. I got onion rings with it. They were good. 
 


Hubby got the patty melt with fries. It was very good! The carmalized onions were perfect. Very tasty. Fries we're OK. Root beer was extra sweet. Hubby liked it. 
 


I really miss the old Watsons. But sooner or later, everything changes.
