This review is a little late. My visit was summer of 1955 I was 6 years old. We moved out of Watertown in 1960. Jean's Beans had the best food. 70 years later I still consider it to have the best food I have ever eaten.

Jean’s Beans in Watertown, NY, is hands down the best takeout spot anywhere! And I’m not just saying this because it’s been in my family since 1953—just check out all the glowing reviews, and you’ll see I’m speaking the truth. I’m incredibly proud of how my cousins are running it today.My only complaint? Mark won’t ship any food to northwest Ohio! Looks like I’ll have to move back to fix that .Scott and Tammy Fein

Great food and customer service was great. Nice greasy spoon cafeteria setting. People behind the counter answered all questions, knew where the food was from and made great recommendations and small talk. Whenever I get lost or need to drive way North for no reason, I'll be stopping here for a great meal. Seating is limited, but works for the lunch crowd.

This place is a new favorite! My husband and I ordered takeout for 2 fish sandwiches, they were amazing!! It was so good, I went back the next day and got another one and it was just as delicious! They have really reasonable prices, I will be stopping by all summer! I can't believe it took me 5 years of living here to find this hidden gem. Also- I'm not sure if the macaroni salad or the potato salad is better..they are both tasty!Enhance your experience during the summer months and take it to Thompson park and make it the perfect picnic!

Absolutely amazing restaurant. It's a cute older location that may not look very fancy when you enter but is truly OUTSTANDING in terms of food quality and enjoyment. The breaded fried fish is simply one of the best I have EVER had ever. Everything else they sell if also so delicious, literally everything is top notch. We god a fish meal for two. That included three sides (sweet potato fires, onion rings, coleslaw), one of the tastiest coleslaw's I have had in a long time. The workers were super friendly as well and explained to us how to order as it was our first time. Will definitely always come here next time I am in Watertown.
