We hosted a milestone birthday party for 15 people at Willy's On the Water this past Saturday, and…read morethey were outstanding from start to finish. They seated us together, even though it was their lunch rush, and the staff took care of every detail for our large group. Service was excellent; servers were always nearby checking on beverages, food, and anything else we needed, without ever feeling intrusive. Everyone at the table commented on how good the food was - great flavors, generous portions, and well‑made drinks. We've always loved Willy's On the Water, but this experience really confirmed that they're a fantastic choice for larger parties as well. The manager, Gavin, and his staff--from hostesses to servers--were amazing and incredibly helpful throughout the event. I would highly recommend Willy's On the Water for both everyday dining and special occasions.

Visited Willy's on the Water today for their limited brunch menu and bottomless mimosas. The lake…read moreview was very pleasant. I sat on the patio area and although the weather was decent, it would be nice if the restaurant had some mist machines or light fans or something for guests. I ordered my food and was disappointed in the quality. The steak was very hard and overcooked. When it came time for the bill, my total tab was $29.50. I gave the waitress Barbra (2) $20 bills.. so $40 total. I asked for change back to I could give an appropriate tip. Barbra brought back a $10 bill and shortened me cash... the restaurant was busy and I did wait to see if I could get her attention. I did have things to do today so I just took a loss on my change and left the tip. Just wanted to leave a review in hopes of the restaurant ensuring their wait staff gives customers their change! In this economy every penny counts. I hope they can continue to improve on the ambiance and food quality as well.

My friend and I were on our way to be counselors at Muscular Dystrophy camp at Camp Courage for a…read moreweek and we decided to stop here for lunch on the way. I ordered a big IPA, and they are large and not crazy expensive. I ordered two more. They were a little understaffed, so our lunch lasted about an hour and a half, but we were in no big hurry. A couple lest, because it was taking so long. My buddy ordered the Detroit ultimate style pizza, oh my gosh, so good! The cheesy and crispy crust melded perfectly with the toppings. It was perfecttion! I ordered the Squeaker, a pulled pork sandwich with a side salad. The meat was plentiful and the side salad was good size. The dive bar feel was so great and lots of sports teams were there enjoying themselves. Lots of TVs with sports on and a TON of beer on tap! My kind of place! Besides the long wait, I loved this place! Next time, we will order the pizza when we leave the Cities and we should all be good. Try it out for a small town dive bar with great food!

This is a place we look forward to trying every time the season changes (and definitely the place your local family/friends want gift cards to).

Came in during their last week of the winter menu and glad we got to see it before it was gone for…read morethe season! Although it's a bit of a hike outside the city, still not too bad on a weekday and it was nice to get out and try something new! It seems like an up and coming area for Monticello and development nearby. We came right at 5 when the restaurant opens and got a seat in the high tops. NOTE! If you want to partake in the happy hour, you have to either sit at the bar or in the high top tables. We didn't know this and wanted their chicken wings on the happy hour menu so ended up switching tables. In addition to the wings, my husband ordered the corn bread app which was pretty good too! Wasn't a huge fan of the spicy butter it came with, but strange but the bread itself was good. The wings had a good seasoning and the house made ranch was really tasty! Surprised there were only wings and no drumsticks which I prefer and the wings themselves didn't have a whole ton of meat on them so I'd give it 3/5 on the apps I ordered the 12oz New York strip and at market price it was $62, came with broccolini and French fries. My husband got the turkey burger which he wasn't a huge fan of he said but he enjoyed the fries. My New York strip wasn't seasoned well - if at all to be honest but thankfully they had some leftover A1 from Mother's Day brunch where the bartender made some bloody Mary's so that helped. Can't say the food was a knockout but the service was really good. The bartender who was our server was conversational, great dude, and offered great suggestions. Host and folks were also really accommodating when we hopped around the restaurant so we could participate in the HH. All in all, great experience and nice place to try!

It was "Bargo" night the third time we went (Bar Bingo) and it was busy and noisy! Highlight for me are the wings, really big, crispy and a generous serving size. Best I've had in a long time.

I can't decide on where to land on the number of stars for this Maynards location…read more The location is easy to get to, there is ample parking, the restaurant is clean, and the service is friendly, attentive, and prompt. So really, it kind of came down to the food. The food is unremarkable for the most part. Nothing really stood out as something one would write home about. It is really on par with Applebee's or other restaurant chains. The French Onion soup was a hot bowl of semi-salty, onion-infused beef broth with a piece of baguette topped with gruyere or Swiss cheese. It's fine and presented as one would expect. The Reuben was in the same boat as the soup. It was a Reuben, and nothing stood out. Bottom line for this place is, if you are looking for a place that is consistent in what is plated for you, and are looking for a quick meal, this is your place. I would eat here again if I could not think of another option in this neck of the woods.
