Made from scratch.
Gone when it's gone.

Scratch-made Southern comfort food on College Ave. The menu rotates with the seasons, and when it's sold out, it's sold out.

What's cooking today

The kitchen updates this board as the day goes. If something's running low, you'll see it here first.

The difference

Made here, from scratch.

A lot of restaurant food shows up pre-made and gets reheated in the back. Watusi leans into scratch cooking instead, with a small menu that changes with the seasons. It's comfort food meant to bring people together, made well and priced for the neighborhood.

Until it's gone
