I LOVE me some Joe Willy's! It starts with the smile as soon as you walk in! Whoever is at the counter is always smiling and ready to help! I love their chicken tender meal with the home made fries!! Their burgers are always good as well. Their fix-ins bar reminds me of Fuddrucker's back in its prime. They have two different kinds of pickles!! They have home made gravy, Ranch & Hickory BBQ Sauce. everything from their cool ambiance they have going on. It's retro and community driven. They have the tub of a variety of flavored cane soda bottles In ice. I have yet to try dessert there but they have an ice cream bar and have retro candy that will take you back to the 80's. They have fundraisers and their walls are literally covered with pictures of their community throughout the years. And they might have a local team of some random in season sport helping learn how to serve. It's all just awesome and they're a true Rockwall gem! read more

The food was very delicious! I love that you can put your on toppings from a bar, a good amount of variety. It was under $40 for 2 of us. The joe Willy 1/3 lb burger was just right with bacon added. Reasonably busy for a Sunday after church, a good amount of seating & you're not cramped. read more

Decided to try this place for Father's Day, and I'm really glad I did. The food was really good! I especially loved the little salad bar with all the burger toppings--it's great that you can build your own just the way you like it. The fries were great, the onion rings were tasty, and honestly, everything we ordered was just plain good. I'll definitely be back! read more

The burgers are great!! Everything is fresh to your order! You definitely get a bang for your buck as the servings are large. I'm not much of a milkshake person but I'm obsessed with the ones here! Pretty great fries too! The service has always been quick and the cashier was great at taking orders and balancing the customers! Ambiance is a local burger place, very friendly! Highly recommend! read more

Back in town for another event so Joe W's on the menu. Very close to event so fits right in with our travel plans from Plano. Got the 1/3 burger with cheese and fries and all set. Travel tip; east bound into Rockwall July 2025 construction on I-30 bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard cuts down one lane so slow crossing. Best you can do in car is get in far left lane for better visability around 18-wheelers till you reach the city. Going west is not a problem at least on Fri afternoon. read more

I love this place the food is amazing and so are the people and the vibe! I recommend the Philly

For 25 years I've eaten at Joe Willy's and I would never have given anything less than a five star review! Always great food and a family friendly atmosphere. Cheers to 25 more! read more

A local favorite for a long as I remember, before we got here and still going after we left. Still every bit as good as I remembered. This place supports the local community and sport teams, with High School teams pictures up covering the walls and windows. Local teams soccer teams pictures and pictures of all the people that support this business. Order at the counter wait for a hot fresh meal. Great food, the best fries absolutely the best onion rings anywhere. Really great chicken strips. Homestyle gravy, bbq sauce, ranch dressing and all the unlimited fixings. I truly miss this place. Great job and keep up the incredible job read more

We stopped here after visiting family during the eclipse and wanted a bite to eat before we drove home. It came up as one of the best places for hamburgers on Yelp so we decided to used to stop and try them out. You walk in and order at the counter, they take your name and call for you when it's ready. The had meals like chicken fried steak and others but we just wanted burgers. You order your burger, sides and drinks separately. We got a hamburger, a cheeseburger, and an order of fries/onion rings. Plus just waters to drink. It wasn't the cheapest place but no more expensive than a lot of other burger places. I thought it was fantastic! The employees were super amazing, very friendly and helpful. read more

I had the patty melt and it was very good. We used to eat here when my husband was still alive. It was one of his favorites. I haven't been here in years but I will be back read more

They have a burger topping bar which is awesome. Burgers are prepared well and good pricing. The hometown photos and vibe are nice too.

Great burgers, add your own sauces. Cozy ambiance with nostalgia to remind us of life's great times! Seeds on buns, to remember if you should refrain from them... ‍‍ read more

Love me some Joe Williy's! Great menu friendly staff they all make you feel right at home.

Super yummy food and all over vibe ordered the patty melt the only thing to skip was the jalapeno ranch it didn't slap

I have been eating at Joe Willy's since they were in Dallas and the quality of service and food has been consistent over the years.

Great little home restaurant. The girls and guys working are always happy and great with service. Food has always been good.

Great burgers like the best I've had in a long time ! Old fashioned kinda burgers! Will be back for sure ! Service is great too and the place is a nice family spot read more

Burger is average , fried mushrooms are always great , I like that the burger just comes plain and I can fix it up anyway I like , a bigger patty of meat for the price would be nice . Very self service and that's ok as well. read more

If you have not tried this local gem, you are missing out! Joe Willy's is unlike any other place you will visit. The staff are mostly teens, all of which are kind, efficient and hardworking. The salad bar of condiments and veggies is hands down the biggest draw for us. The ranch is unmatched and the taste of fresh leaves is coming back time and again! read more

We frequently visit Joe Willy's. The food is always great. I typically order the chicken strips or the grilled chicken sandwich.

I am being very generous in giving this place a 2. This was the fourth time I have eaten here...and it was, by far, the worst. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak...the bun was soggy, at best. I also ordered a combo basket...that was supposed to be a combo of two sides...I chose onion rings and deep fried mushrooms...I received onion rings and fries. The onion rings tasted very oily; the fries were okay but I was expecting mushrooms! I would...very cautiously...recommend this place. I liked how they supported their high school team. read more

Classic American meal, affordable for the family but great tasting. The staff was friendly and helpful and the establishment supports local teams, players and fundraisers -- a big plus! Visited for the first time mid week and they were very busy between 4-5. Laid back dining experience and was surprised to see a reserved room for a birthday dinner. Burger and chicken strips were perfect but the onion rings is what I really loved! Will be back again. read more

I just experienced a blast from the past. How did I not know that there was a Joe willies in Rockwall? I frequented the Dallas location during my youth and young adult years. What a thrill to see the same menu available. I quickly ordered my regular from back in the day. I had a grilled chicken breast sandwich and an order of fried mushrooms. To compliment those items I had fresh red onions, sliced, kosher, pickles, and cream gravy. Just like old times. Spot on perfection. Definitely worth the drive from Dallas to visit this old familiar joint. When you arrive, order at the counter. They will call your order when it's ready. Help yourself to condiments and toppings along the side bar. Plenty of room for large families and groups. Booths and tables available. read more

Joe Willy's - Ground Beef Taco Salad - American Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

3.75 stars as far as a burger place goes. It would be four stars if they had a burger and fries basket. Who wants to pay $17.11 for a 1/3 pound burger, fries and a drink? This is my first time here, I may come back but will definitely share a burger with my wife. The burger was alright as far as a pre made pressed patty goes. I ordered it medium and it was cooked medium with just a bit of pink. The fries are good, too many for one person. The burger side bar is a nice addition but please make a sandwich basket with a side. No way was my burger, fries and drink worth $17 with tax. You can get a much better burger cheaper at chili's but this place does have the atmosphere, guess that is what I paid for. read more

Burgers are good but not great. The milkshake on the other hand is the best I have ever had. We make the trip just to get the shake.

The restaurant is order at the counter type. Asked for name so have to pickup also. The girls taking orders were pleasant. Ordered chicken fried steak dinner. Expecting mashed potatoes and gravy. But didn't come with mashed potatoes but rather French fries or a salad. Gravy was served in salad bar setting, on the side. The ranch dressing is homemade and very good. The gravy has lots of flavor as does the steak. The decor is local high school themed. But yet no tvs to watch any games. Could see place as hangout after Friday Night Lights. Would've given 5 stars but took 1 star away for no mashed potatoes. read more

The food is amazing. They get the food out fast to you. Hamburgers, fried mushrooms & French fries are good. The onion strings are really good. read more

We went on a Sunday around noon hours. Young lady at the front was very sweet. The line moved fast and it was busy there at the time. I went with my daughter and we order 2 1/3lb burgers with cheese, 2 sodas, and an onion ring/fry basket. It came up to about $33. I was like damn! That's a lot. The food was good. Onion rings were a little too salty but it was still good. I asked for well done burgers and one came out with pink in the middle so I ate it so my daughter wouldn't complain to me about her not wanting to eat it. They have a separate bar where you get all your toppings. read more

Great atmosphere, awesome food! This place has been around forever and with good reason. The burgers are awesome, and they have a topping bar so you can build your burger the way you like it. The firings are nicely done as well. The staff is super friendly and efficient and have never thrown any attitude no matter how busy they are. Whenever my wife and I are in town we make a point of stopping by. read more

It's been a few years since I've been in a city where there's a Joe Willys. The food is as I remember it. Very enjoyable. The onions rings are the best. Plenty and crunchy. The hamburgers and the chicken sandwich were good too. It has serve yourself fixins bar filled with plenty of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, different pickles, jalapeños and more. The average rating was given because: certain wait staff was not very friendly and because there were used disposable face masks all over the floor in the arcade and leading to the bathroom. read more

This place feels super nostalgic. I grew up in the 90s/2000s and it feels like a time capsule with the photos on the wall and the overall atmosphere. I love that they have a mini arcade, which is tucked away by the bathrooms. And to be mentioned, the bathrooms are for only one person at a time. I got a burger and it was soooo good! The fries were good and the fried onions were good when hot and fresh. My husband had the chicken sandwich and it was okay. But from the looks of it most people I saw got burgers. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a good dinner. A family member suggested that we eat there because the food is pretty good. We weren't disappointed. read more

Always exceptional service, atmosphere and food. I'm reviewing from Yelp, so here's the rub: the published menu does NOT reflect the 2x cost of the shakes. I ordered based on the $3 costs, and got a $23+ bill for 3 shakes. Revise your prices, pls. I was more than taken by surprise by that unexpected price increase. I'll probably just go to Cold Stone Creamery or Baskin Robbins if I want to pay for premium dairy. read more
