Type: Location

As of November 2026, Watkinsville has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard (Feb 2026). The Chicken Express where Jeremy works—and where the napkin/number meet-cute occurs—is located just outside Athens in Watkinsville.

Watkinsville is the largest city and county seat of Oconee County, Georgia, United States. As of the 2020 census, the city had a total population of 2,896. It served as the seat of Clarke County until 1872 when the county seat of that county was moved to Athens, a move which ultimately led to the creation of Oconee County in 1875. It is included in the Athens-Clarke County, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area.
