Holmes & Watson Ltd

We have been going to Holmes & Watson's for years. Food is good. Best are the Hamburgers! Onion chips are super! Beer is plentiful. Good Pub type place. more

I have gone to Holmes and Watson several times. The very first time I went, it was for a banquet taking place on their second floor. That time was a disappointment because even though the food was of a decent quality, it was bland and did not have any personality. Subsequent visits to Holmes and Watson have been much more satisfactory. They have a decent sized menu with lots of options. Their menu has a lot of sandwich selections as well as cooked meal options. Their lighter faire, such as salads is also wonderful. I have ordered a chef's salad and received a plate of salad covered in cold cuts, which though not necessarily healthy was fulling and really a decent surprise. One of the down sides to Holmes and Watson though is that their meals do not include fries, but potato chips. That really is a shame though because they serve some really good waffle fries. You just have to order them separately. more

The menu boasts lots of homemade soups and salads, chili, wings, unusual sandwiches, charbroiled burgers and complete dinners from pasta to seafood to steaks. Daily lunch and dinner specials. More than 200 selections of beer, ale and stout—28 on tap. More than 20 single-malt scotch selections. Full bar, banquet facilities, 250 seats on two floors and an outdoor courtyard. Serving from 11 AM daily. This place is loud, cheerful college crowd and bright acoustics. You should not have to wait for a table except Fri-Sat evenings. Close to Troy Savings bank Music Hall more
