    Made plans for a late lunch, specifically to try the Prime Rib. We started with Shrimp Cocktail and French Onion Soup. Love their soup. The onions aren't mushy and the broth is flavorful. We won't get the shrimp again. I ordered Cod and my partner had the Prime Rib medium rare. My blackened Cod was amazing and the Prime Rib is a must try with button mushrooms and a rich aujus. Our server was delightful, we will be back.

    In town for the Bocelli concert, The food the service and the ambience were are amazing. What a delicious meal coming from Miami I so appreciate the old pubby vibe..feels like we could be on the English countryside- our server was Chelsea aided by Casey who is in training and absolutely wonderful! I cannot remember when I have had a better prime rib. As a matter of fact, my husband ordered the prime rib and I ordered Jesse's super special and we switched because the prime rib was sooooooo good ! Homemade key lime pie...yes please!Come for the early bird special leave happy and fulfilled pictures to follow. Absolutely love this place!

    We visited on a weekday lunch and discovered their lunch special menu, which offers a surprisingly robust selection of steaks and seafood at remarkably fair prices. I ordered the beer-battered fried fish with sweet potato as my side. The fish was generously portioned, with a crunchy coating. Two enormous onion rings came alongside, and the whole plate was delicious. The sweet potato was also quite good- a hefty serving, topped with butter and cinnamon sugar. Rich, sweet, and the perfect comfort-food complement. My dining companion went for the prime rib. A generous cut, cooked to a perfect rosy, juicy finish, served with mushroom on the side- an utterly satisfying plate. Before our meals arrived, a warm basket of complimentary bread appeared, accompanied by a sweet, fluffy butter-a lovely touch. Service was excellent -- attentive and warm. The space is undeniably dated and on the darker side. The lunch special pricing clearly draws a loyal crowd -- the room was filled with retirees and local regulars, and it's easy to see why. This is the kind of bold, flavorful, old-school steak-and-seafood cooking that never really goes out of style, no matter what food trends come and go. Jesse's is a hidden gem for weekday lunch. Come for the value, stay for the prime rib, and don't skip the bread. Classic, hearty, and genuinely delicious.

    No reservations yet we dined at 6PM and was promptly seated , though the 2 at the front are rude on the phone and slapping the menus down. Management needs to ck it out, a proper out fit would give a more professional appearance Food: never received bread n butter. French onion soup very tasty. Queen cut of prime rib was BIG, we shared. The thickest part was a bit tough.Did an add on of Greek shrimp was good. Baked sweet potato and broccoli w no butter was perfect. Dirty martini BOGO

    Heard it was the best prime rib in town.....it was our first time in last night and we were beyond impressed. The service from Chrissy was impeccable as well!! Thank you Chrissy for suggesting the calamari and for the attention to detail. I asked for usual-- a water without ice and a slightly dirty martini and it was perfect!! You would be surprised how many people mass it up. Perfect date night!!

    Tried this place out with a couple of friends. Even though it was early enough in the day (4:30pm) on a Wednesday, it seemed busy. We had a party of 3, but 2 of us arrived first. We weren't able to be seated until EVERYONE was present. The irony is every time we asked if they had a menu for something, we were told they don't but could tell us what's on it (no drink menu, no dessert menu) only basic menu available. My friends ordered the prime rib and one was cooked perfect while the other was overcooked. I ordered the mussels appetizer and thought it was extremely salty, but the escargot was seasoned nicely. Staff was nice overall and mostly attentive considering it was busy. Not sure I'd return though as I didn't see anything that drew me into wanting to come back and try.

    So far service she also told me that bogo martinis yasss!! Drink service was pretty quick, so love it. Looking at most of the plates that prime rib looks absolutely amazing but you can actually share it with them like 2 to 3 people so did not get that mom got the salmon.. if they had blue cheese olives, that would be the spot!! Abigail was awesome when I didn't like my nasty clam chowder. She totally changed it to this delicious KFC mashed potatoes for me so she ended up giving me a weird sauce and some horseradish so accommodating. Despite of the look of it is actually really good.

    Best prime rib I ever had. I over order and the leftover taste as good as I was there the next day. Atmosphere are old-fashioned feeling cozy and lay back . But the service it's like a five star Rest restaurant. Very attentive and knowledgeable of the menus and history of the restaurant. My iced tea was never empty lol.

    I went a weekday for the prime rib lunch special. Surprisingly, there were plenty of people there during lunch before 12. The parking lot is kind of tight but they seemed to have enough parking for the crowd. When you walk in, you can tell it's an old establishment but that's not such a bad thing. I ordered the charbroiled prime rib, my only complaint is that it could've been warmer when served. The salad and baked potato were good. If you're a bread lover like myself, then you'll enjoy the bread but it's best to eat while warm. Overall this is a good place to take a family for dinner.

    We were in Brandon to pick up a few things this morning and decided to have lunch at Jesse's Steak and Seafood, on 60. This is one of our favorite places when in Brandon. The restaurant has been around since 1980 and has, in my opinion, earned its reputation for great food and friendly service. We had the house specialty - Prime Rib. I had mine with a Baked Potato and my wife opted for the French Fries. The Prim Rib was cooked to just the level we ordered - Medium. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. If you have not been to this restaurant you should give it a try when you are in the area.

    Got to love the escargot!!

    I love this place. Such an institution in Brandon. Excellent for family and friends you can't go wrong

    Instant hit!! Jesse's Steak and Seafood a doesn't look like much from the outside but what a cozy old fashioned feel inside. A party of 3 plus me (Bodhi). 2 Icelandic Cod platters with Greek seasoning and 1 Prime Rib. Salads, Broccoli, Sweet Potatoes, and a baked potato for sides. The prime rib was perfectly cooked and tender. The fries and potato was amazing. The two Icelandic cods were perfectly cooked and seasoned. All the sides were hot and delicious (except ofcourse the salad). Our server (Chelsea) was outstanding. She listened to our orders, kept our drinks filled and brought us extra bread. Oh yes the home made bread was delicious-One of the best breads I have ever had at a restaurant. This was one of these places that you stumble upon and it quickly becomes your favorite place. The prices were very reasonable for the food quality and quantity!! We will be back and highly reccomend!!

    When is early bird?

    Be seated and order before 6

    Do you do delivery?

    When I walked to the bar I heard a server taking an order over the phone, so I'd say it's safe to say yes they do.

    Complaint Regarding Incorrect Order and Poor Customer Service…read more I placed an order on September 18, 2026, at approximately 6:50 p.m. totaling $311.04. Prior to placing my order, I called to inquire about the special and was told the details. I called back a few minutes later and placed six orders: four Snow Crab specials (including sausage in all four bags and an egg in one bag) and two Dungeness Crab specials. At no point during the ordering process was I informed that the Dungeness Crab special would include only one cluster mixed with Snow Crab. Upon receiving my order, the bags did not contain the Dungeness Crab clusters I paid for. Instead, we received mostly Snow Crab and a crab claw. When I called the restaurant, the employee stated she remembered my order and insisted that I received what I ordered. I then spoke with the manager, Vincent, who claimed he saw the employee prepare the order correctly. However, he also stated that he needed to check with the cooks and kitchen staff to confirm what was prepared. His statements were inconsistent and did not resolve the issue. Additionally, I was told my order would be ready in 10 minutes. Since I live 25 to 30 minutes away, I expected it to be ready upon arrival, yet I still had to wait. During my conversation with Vincent, he eventually put the phone down and refused to continue addressing my concerns. I paid extra for the Dungeness Crab specials and simply expected to receive the items I ordered or be reimbursed for the missing product. Neither was offered. The lack of accountability and poor customer service were extremely disappointing. As a result of this experience, I will not return to this location. I am a very dissatisfied customer.

It's not really Italian, could offer more dishes that is considered Mediterranean, pasta specials of the day could be a consideration, something different that other local Italian restaurants don't offer, otherwise, they are just like the others. We had the chicken parmesan with spaghetti, terrible. It's a large piece of chicken, should have been pounded thinner, too thick, loaded with too much sauce on breaded chicken, which makes it soft because of too much sauce, then loaded with cheese that wasn't put under the broiler, just soft and mushy. Side spaghetti was over cooked and loaded again with too much sauce, the entire dish was drowning in sauce which is just okay. Our friends ordered spaghetti & meatballs, the meatballs was garlicky and the dish loaded with too much sauce on overcooked spaghetti. Several of their dishes are made with same stuffing from stuffed mushrooms, stuffed flounder, stuffed shrimp making it easy for the kitchen but a boring menu being the food all tasting the same. Service is great and attentive even with change of staff since the restaurant changed. My suggestion is, please stop overloading sauce, don't drown the spaghetti and cut back on garlic in meatballs, don't overcook the pasta, and offer a pasta of the week, supposably they make their own, let's see something that can't be bought from a store. The owner needs to pay attention to their change of business, if you are presenting it to be Italian, then offer dishes that can be found as other restaurants, you've just become a cliche, why bother! We wish only the best for this establishment, being family owned, you've worked hard to still be around after so many years, don't let us down now.

    Alright, folks, gather 'round as I, a lifelong Valrico local, spin a heartfelt yarn about Willie's…read moreSeafood at 1912 Main Street, the place that's been the heartbeat of my life since I was a kid. Born and raised right here in Valrico, Florida, I was brought to Willie's by my granddad, who called it his favorite spot in town. It's been a constant through every chapter of my life--birthdays, heartbreaks, and everything in between. This five-star review is a love letter to Willie's, a seafood haven that's served up memories as rich as their fried catfish and kept me comin' back for decades. From the time I could barely see over the table, Granddad would lead me through Willie's doors, his calloused hand in mine, promisin' the best meal in town. The place felt like a second home--still does. The cozy, weathered interior, with its wooden walls covered in fishing nets, old photos of Valrico's early days, and mounted fish, wraps you in a warm hug of nostalgia. The jukebox in the corner hums old country tunes, and the checkered tablecloths remind me of Granddad's stories about fishin' in the Gulf. He'd sit me down, order a basket of fried shrimp and hush puppies, and tell me, "this here's real Florida eatin'." That first bite of crispy, golden shrimp, dipped in tangy cocktail sauce, was like tastin' the ocean itself--fresh, simple, and perfect. Willie's menu is a love song to seafood, and I've loved every note since I was a kid. Their fried catfish, a Granddad favorite, is still the gold standard--flaky, moist, with a cornmeal crust so crisp it crunches like autumn leaves. The all-you-can-eat nights--catfish, shrimp, haddock, and clam strips on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays--are a tradition I've kept alive, especially now with my own kids. The gator bites, spicy and tender, are a thrill I discovered as a teenager, sneakin' bites off Granddad's plate. Their blackened mahi-mahi, served with creamy grits, is a nod to Florida's coastal soul, with a spice kick that wakes you right up. Even the sides--coleslaw cool as a summer breeze, hush puppies golden and sweet--feel like they were made with love. And don't get me started on the key lime pie; it's tart, creamy perfection that Granddad always saved room for, claimin' it was "better'n any dessert in Tampa." After he passed, I'd sit at our usual table, order his favorite catfish dinner, and feel him right there with me. Now, I bring my family, watchin' my daughter giggle over her popcorn shrimp, just like I did. The staff, some of whom have been here since I was young, treat you like kin. They'd slip me extra hush puppies as a kid, and now they know my order by heart--fried shrimp, fries, and a sweet tea, just like Granddad's. The place ain't fancy, but that's the charm. It's a family-owned gem, run by folks who've been at it since the '70s, and it shows in every bite. The prices are fair--$15.99 for a catfish filet with sides feels like a steal for the quality. The service is quick, even when the place is packed with locals like me, all drawn by the same comfort and flavor. Sure, some might say it's a bit old-school, but that's what makes it special. It's not tryin' to be a chain or a tourist trap--it's just Willie's, servin' up seafood that tastes like home. I've lived in Valrico my whole life, and Willie's has been there for every milestone--first dates, graduations, even quiet nights when I just needed a taste of the past. It's where I learned to love seafood, where Granddad's stories came alive, and where I still feel him every time I walk in. The food, the warmth, the memories--they're all part of me. Willie's Seafood is a five-star treasure, a place that's fed my body and soul for decades. I'll keep comin' back, bringin' my kids and someday their kids, to keep Granddad's favorite spot alive in our hearts.

    Great atmosphere and food. I had the blackened mahi mahi and it was delicious. I would highly…read morerecommend it.
