The Heron's Landing

We stopped in for mother's day and couldn't be happier with this place. Food, service and atmosphere was all great. We'll keep this place on our stop in again list. Sorry I didn't take pictures before eating the onion rings or bacon wrapped kielbasa. 😅

Welcoming patio area overlooking river, abundant with tropical plants. Relaxing place to enjoy a leisurely lunch on a sunny autumn afternoon. I ordered the walnut cranberry salad and my dining partner had the vegetarian wrap. Both were very good.

Stopped by for an afternoon lunch. We Had the Reuben with Pub Chips and a Wrap with Fries. The portions were decent-sized. Pub Chips were VERY tasty. Reuben was pretty good as was the wrap. Outside seating area looks Awesome, we ate inside due to bees on the patio. I would definitely go back when in the area.

We love this place! Always a choice for a date night close to home. Food has always been great along with the workers! Would recommend this place to anyone!

This place has very good food at a reasonable price , we loved the fish we had on Friday night and the onion rings are amazing. They are always very friendly and attentive to the tables, and sitting outside by river is a plus. Jefferson is a small town but every time we go we enjoy. 😇😎

Love the atmosphere and the food was so good! The waitress definitely will get her steps in as she was the only one working. She deserves a raise because she is a skilled multitasker! I forgot her name but we were in Sunday June 25 at 5...the bartender was helpful too!

The service was fantastic and the duck poppers were awesome. The dam burger had great flavor and with the kraut and cranberry mustard, was over the top. The jam on the dam burger looked killer and my wife LOVED the bacon jam. I moved away about 30 years ago, but I'll be making a point of stopping in when I'm in town from now on.

The food was absolutely delicious mixed with a pretty view from the outside patio :)

Great food and the service was top notch! It was clean and the staff was friendly too. The food tasted great. I had a chicken sandwich with their chips with a spotted cow! Yummy

The hostess and waitresses were so kind and welcoming. They informed they were busy due to a wedding party and may take awhile, but I would say I wouldn't have even noticed because the service was great and delivered in a timely fashion! Beautiful view on the patio and delicious food.

Great food and a river view with outside seating...reasonably priced with outstanding service...go there.

If you are wanting something different for your palette, this is the place to go! From duck poppers to bacon wrapped kielbasa, they have a wide range for those with an adventurous palettes! Even though they have beer(pilsner & others) I was able to pair with a good tasting merlot.
I highly recommend checking this place out & the riverview was a bonus! And the waitress/hostess was fast & on top of it. Never had to wait more than 2 minutes for anything including sauces from the kitchen!
We will be coming back here even of a special trip is needed!

Friendly Staff and delicious food. Big, fresh salad with perfectly cooked blackened salmon. Chicken sandwich, lightly breaded and moist, topped with applewood bacon, Swiss cheese and garlic mayo, and fries that are not greasy. Definitely will return.

One word.....Amazing! Not only is the decor and building special but the food is spectacular! I had the French onion soup which was delicious, and a BLT with sweet potato fries, also very good. Buddy had the smothered chicken and side salad, that was very good as well the location is superb, right on the river with excellent views. I can't believe I've lived in Watertown for 5 years and never new this place existed. Will definitely be back!

You start off walking in a very antique looking place. Right off the river by the damn, awesome view. The person working was very friendly, and great service. The food, Amazing. I had there spicy garlic wings, 10 for 6 bucks. Nice to have a place that is close that has great wings. Wife had steak sandwich, she loved it. Son and granddaughter both were stuffed when we left. I will tell everyone I know to come and check you out. IF YOU LOVE WINGS, MUST TRY!

What a beautiful place to sit outside by water and eat. I must say I’ve been there before and the food was ok. But today may 2 the food was exceptional very good. Presentation of food excellent. I watched what other people got and it all looked so fantastic. Really looked over board nice. Our food was so great. Tasted wonderful. I was so happy I brought someone there for first time. They are still talking about it. The only thing was the waitress never came back to us. Drinks or how was it. We waited forever for our bill. Now there was a good amount of people there. But still you should be able to handle this. I was a waitress also and I never egnored anyone. She was ok but could have been a lot better. It’s not hard. Takes 5 seconds to make sure your people are ok. Great place. Can’t wait to go again

You have to look at a restaurant and take it's price/location/food into account before you decide the value of the experience.

Some days are not the best for service times, some days the food does not come out as fast as it could, but in no way, shape or form would I wish this place to close.

Food is QUALITY. It is obviously not a high end restaurant, but the quality of ingredients is pretty clearly shown. The owner quite obviously loves this place and puts the effort/money into it to succeed.

I have pretty much ordered everything on the menu in the last 3 years, you wont be disappointing by any of it. The atmosphere is great, especially when you can sit on the patio in the summer.

I love to come here on my "binge" day on Saturday to tare through some bar food. (BTW the Duck Poppers are absolutely the best)

Do yourself a favor, if you are looking at coming here, don't look for a second opinion. You wont be disappointed in the product

TLDR: It is not a high end restaurant, but damn the food is good for the price and the atmosphere is also quite welcoming. (P.S. Try the Duck Poppers)

Had a great dining experience here. We were here on a Friday so I had the baked cod with potato pancakes. All the food was excellent, our waiter was nice, and the food didn’t take a long time. Prices are pretty average for what you get.

Ordered an appetizer of cheese curds, which were delicious and fresh. Had the Heron chicken sandwich and that was very good as well. The fries were some of the best I've ever had. Friendly staff and neat, historic atmosphere. Will come back.

Based on the negative reviews I was aprehensive.
Our Friday fish fry experience was excellent. Our server, Julie was spot on in all respects. The Old Fashion's were perfect which set the tone for the entire evening. The food was very good with ample portions. A broccoli option on the fish fry was a welcome alternative. Very nicely done.
Looking to return soon.
