Watson's Soul Food Tradition Since 1978
Where Louisiana Soul Food Meets Fresh Gulf Seafood
A family tradition of authentic Louisiana cuisine
For nearly five decades, the Wall family has been serving Watson's favorite fried chicken, fresh seafood, and authentic soul food. What started in 1978 as a small family restaurant has become a beloved local landmark, serving generations of families with the same recipes and warm hospitality that made us famous.
Every dish at Linda's is made with care, using time-honored family recipes and the freshest ingredients. From our crispy fried chicken to our homemade gumbo, everything is prepared fresh daily with the same dedication to quality that has kept customers coming back for 48 years.
