Tried a good half dozen beers. Â Not a single one was worth ordering a pint. Â What is the use of having a dozen or so beers on tap when you fill it with rubbish like shinner bock and bud? Â Not even a war of 1812 amber from down at sacketts harbor graces your attention. Â Don't know if all TKs are like this, but only mildly better than Hooters from my experience.
Review Source:The service here is what made this place not so great for me.
We had three people at the table at the bar and the place wasn't that busy. The server got all the drinks wrong on the first go... it seemed like there was no vodka in my vodka tonic, no whisky in my co-workers whisky/coke, and my boyfriends bourbon which he asked for with a splash of water and no ice came with TONS of ice.
The bartender was more interested in talking to some dude than actually doing her job. I get that she looked good in the outfit, but honestly, your service has to be good as well... that's actually way more important than your boobs looking good. So, bartenders who actually know how to tend a bar would make this place a lot better.
Okay, I would like to clear up some of the rumors that have been floating around in reviews. I am an employee of this establishment and there are many ideas about what we do among other things. First off, bring your girlfriend/wife! We do not care if our table range from a group of dudes or a group of ladies. If you are respectful to us, you get the same respect back. We also do not want to date your men and most of us are military wives anyway, we just want to pay our bills. Our food is pretty cheap, you get a lot for your buck, our portions are extremely generous. The only "expensive" item is our wings, I recommend you come during happy hour because our wings are cheaper and they are really good. If you have a problem with your meal, we want to do anything within our power to make sure that it is remedied for you and you are happy with your experience with us. Most of us are knowledgeable about our menu items and will recommend something you will truly enjoy. Sometimes you make us feel just as uncomfortable as we might make you feel, so let's all just relax and have a good time with each other. We hope you have fun at the Tilted Kilt and enjoy yourselves! Do not be afraid of us, we love conversation and satisfied customers!
Review Source:Took my son here for his 3rd birthday. We thought it would be fun and funny way to celebrate. The food was terrible and even though they said they do a birthday desert, they don't really. The waitress plopped a gross brownie thing in front of him and said "happy birthday," then gave us the check. The food was mediocre at best.
If you want to see cute girls in skimpy clothes, sit at the bar and watch a game, but don't come here expecting good food and atmosphere.
My wife and I stopped here for late lunch on our way back from Canada. what can i say? Beer, babes and football. What more do you need? Super friendly waitresses and decent pub grub. And great selection of beer including Smitwicks. Contrary to earlier posters, we saw many women here during our visit, and at least two families with kids, all there to watch Sunday football. My wife loved her chicken salad and the pretzels. I had the fish n chips, which was good but not great. And did I mention the waitresses? Say hello to Shantelle!
Review Source:First of all, the food was pretty good. I got Shepherd's Pie, which was very savory and filling; they gave so much, that I took home enough for another meal. I got the orange-flavored drink (I forget what it was called...) and thought it was delicious! The waitresses can give good drink suggestions; my drink apparently contained 3 shots or so, but it tasted just like orange soda - yum!
Now for the disappointment... my mate and I drove by this place many times before we were intrigued enough to come in. I should have researched the place first. We expected an interior like a Scottish castle, with men dressed like Braveheart rushing to meet us at the door, sword in hand. Instead, we were surrounded by girls in skimpy schoolgirl outfits. During our whole stay, we saw only ONE man in a kilt, and he was standing behind the bar.
The customer-staff interactions can make things awkward. It's hard to have an intimate couples' dinner when there are a bunch of Joe's harassing the waitresses on one side of you and a family with small children and a grumpy-looking wife on the other side.
Bottom line: Food and drinks are great, but hire more guys!! Men in kilts = fun! different! Braveheart face paint could be optional.
This place is like an Irish version of Hooters but their menu is better. Â There are much more selections such as burgers, sandwiches, salads, and also appetizers. Â I ordered the pull pork sandwich with garlic fries. Â The sandwich was really good but the fries were alright. Â It was more of a regular fries with garlic powder on top. Â I ordered the watermelon shaker cocktail which was really good....I definitely recommend getting this or the other flavors that they have. Â As far as the girls....you might be a little disappointed. Â Our waitress was really nice and the service was good. Â I would come back here for the food and drinks.
Review Source:Ahh...the Kilt. Since I've arrived to the Watertown area, this has been a place of many a drunk night. :)
LOVE their food, however this is definitely the worst Kilt location I have been to. Based on the area, I understand the difficulty in finding stable waitresses as people are constantly having to move in and out of the Drum Area...
I find that theyre hiring people with less and less qualifications however. Some of the girls are so shyyou can barely hear them when they talk to you. Long gone are the days of them sitting down with you and having actual conversations :(
Oh OLD KILT ways, come back to us, we all miss you.
Your typical Hooters, Twin Peaks, and all those other types of sports bars with skimpy clothes. I like the menu at Tilted Kilt a little better, they seemed to have a little more to choose from than Hooters. Price was same, a good average price. Appetizers always one of the best parts we kept them coming the whole game. For dinner I had the Turkey Club with Garlic Fries. Delicious especially the garlic fries. YUM!! Service was good. I will go back.
Review Source:The three stars here go completely to atmosphere. Â
Upon walking in, I observed that my friend and I were one of about five females in the entire place (besides the servers). Â I grew up in Watertown and am home visiting -- like to try out the establishments that I haven't been to. Â My first impression was that it was a nice, large space with plenty of TVs and a great bar area. Â Add scantily-clad women to the mix and you've got man heaven. Â
I have served food and drink plenty of times, so I know it can be unforgiving. Â Thankfully, I never had to do it shoved into a barely-there outfit. Â I think there must be only one size to these TK uniforms. Â Some of the girls are attractive and others, meh. Â I really wanted to like our server. Â Another reviewer previously commented on how the servers treat women and I didn't want to believe that it was true. Â Maybe it was just our server, Sarah. Â I know that there is also more than one Sarah working in this place. Â One is really fun and the other, no so much. Â Perhaps she was having an 'off' night. Â Whatever the case, she was about as much fun as watching paint dry. Â It seems that she treated us differently though because we had two females at our table. Â I am a great tipper, so I was sad for her. Â She had zero personality and I even tried cracking jokes with her. Â The service was also ridiculously slow. Â
Average selection of beer, over-priced bar food and took way too long to get my drink on. Â I would still give the TK another try because I like the atmosphere. Â (Minus the old men leering at 18yo booty).
NOT a family restaurant.
We have been to other tilted kilts down south and they were family acceptable and decent places to eat, NOT this place. Slutty dressed waitresses, leering clientele and loud heavy drinkers are the norm here.
The food was not too bad. However, service was very slow; on a Tuesday night when there were more waitresses (12) than customers, it shouldn't take 14 minutes to get a beer and water. I was embarrassed to have my daughter, mother and wife in here.
Too bad there isn't a Hooters in Watertown - it would have more class.
Well I guess the only time you get treated like a real person if you're a woman at Tilted Kilt is sitting at the bar with the male employees serving you! Sit at a table with one of the waitresses... BEWARE. They can tell it won't be an easy tip if your man already has some arm candy, and isn't there to drool all over them. So they just give up from the start. My bf and one of our friends went to grab some food here and once we were seated ordered a drink. My bf and our friend got their beers, and my Tilted Tea was nowhere. Five minutes go by, ten, I see our waitress walk by the bar at least half a dozen times. Still my drink is a no show. Our other friend arrived and sat down. Right away the waitress came by and got his drink order. A minute later HIS beer came. I know she heard me order my drink because she asked for my ID and looked at it. I could have asked her the status of my beverage, but it's not my job to remind people how to do theirs.
Finally a few minutes later she told me my drink was "coming right up" I know it takes less than 30 seconds to pour a few ounces of booze into a glass and fill it with soda, I've seen it done plenty of times even in a crowded bar. So after almost fifteen minutes my drink is sat down at the table. I take a sip and it takes like lemonade and iced tea mixed together. There was no taste or twang of alcohol what so ever, and the "Texas Tea" has over five different types of liquor. Mind you the first time we visited Tilted Kilt and sat at the bar, our friend ordered this same drink and I watched the bartender pour generously enough for a 200+ lb adult man to get half way drunk off one glass. So I was curious as to why I got the kiddie version for the regular price.
Onto the food. I'd already eaten a big lunch that day and was still fairly full, so I saw on the menu they had a side salad you could order for only $3.99. It didn't say "Add to any meal for $3.99," it was just $3.99 by itself. To my surprise a buffet size plate came out with a mountain of salad on top. I asked our lovely waitress if it was indeed the side salad, she replied yes. Once the meal came to an end we received our bill. $7.99 for my salad. Now I could be hard of hearing but I am pretty sure I double checked to make sure I did in fact get the side salad, and if on the menu that salad was priced at $3.99 shouldn't that be what our bill stated? Guess not. We informed the waitress and she acted confused like it wasn't her fault. Maybe it's set in the computer wrong, who really knows. She changed it to $3.99 without any more problems.
I've learned my lesson, sit at the bar where females are treated equally!
An Irish Hooters. The girls were friendly, tons of tv's to watch sports on, and a full bar. The food was great too. Burgers are not as good as Maggie's on the River tho, but still good. This place is also a little more expensive than the other chain sport places like buffalo wild wings.
