We've been watching this place on Facebook and decided to give it a try today. We were so glad we…read moredid! Great atmosphere, great service, HUGE servings and awesome tastes! We had the country fried chicken with mashed potatoes and turnip geeens. The turnip greens were so good and my wife said the chicken was very good. I had the fried pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes and okra. All of it was delicious! For dessert we had blueberry lemon cake and coconut cake. Pictures do not to them justice. They were so huge the lid barely closed on the to go box. It was like 1/4 of a cake. We left there stuffed with four to go boxes for two people! Highly recommend!

I've come here because my grandparents from Paris recommended this place as a good 18th birthday dinner spot, and even though they may be just a little crazy, I am so glad I listened to them. The food is outstanding. I tried their Cheesesteak with French Fries, and I didn't even take a picture of it, I was that excited, and it was nothing short of outstanding. You get a lot of it too. If I wasn't a big back I would've had the entire thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the same can be said for their dessert cakes. The staff were excellent as well, they were friendly, and certainly helped making our first visit a welcoming experience, and I earnestly hope they are satisfied with working here. If you are a foodie, a travelling foodie, or just someone who just likes going to establishments in towns you don't even know the name of, I tell you now that you NEED to go to this place. P.S. Forget all the other beverages you can have with your food, GRAB THE TEA. Sweet or unsweet, their tea tastes HEAVENLY.

What an absolute delight!…read more We walked in on a Saturday night without reservations & were immediately sat. They were so cool about it. Before I talk about the food let me tell you about the ambiance. Classy, clean, cool - am I in NYC or Murray, KY?! And the music selection surprised me at every turn. Nick Drake? Yes, please! For starters, it was happy hour & wine was $7 a glass. The cab was delicious. A perfect selection, poured fresh table-side. The starter kale salad with fresh fennel bulb was a testament to the goodness of God's creation. I crave that salad daily. House-made pasta - need I say more? The chicken in my mushroom pasta dish was house-roasted, you could taste it! And the mushrooms were so fresh and fragrant- the way mushrooms should be eaten. The red/sauce sausage pasta my daughter got was just the right amount of spicy. The next day I mixed our two pasta leftovers together & that was a real treat! For dessert we had the flourless chocolate torte which was the perfect ending to the perfect meal. I'm already planning my next meal when I visit Murray next weekend! Oh, also! They used Oneida Michelangelo silverware - the fancy stuff my parents used at home growing up. So that was special

The Willow Bistro immediately caught my eye, so I didn't think twice. The menu had American, Thai, Ethiopian, Mexican, and Mediterranean inspired dishes. There's something for everyone, and you truly can get a taste of the world here. I love an extensive and global menu. But beyond that, I love amazing food. The food at The Willow Bistro is amazing. Everything is made from scratch in the kitchen, which should come as no surprise once you dig in. Everything we had was homey, flavorful, and clearly made with love and intention. Pro tip: do not skip the fruit curry. What a smooth, unique, and flavorsome blend of sweet and savory. I loved everything that was on our table, but this dish was the most memorable. The service? Also phenomenal. Our server was so kind, patient, hospitable, knowledgeable, and empathetic. She was a gem. The setup is also charming, clean, cozy, and welcoming. Everything about The Willow Bistro deserves 5/5 stars. If I'm ever passing through Murray again, The Willow Bistro will be my first stop.

Thank you Guillermo for a wonderful time this afternoon but also being consistent in your quality and service. Lastly, if you like spice and tequila, do NOT hesitate on asking for his spicy margarita! Just beware, the big size is basically the size of a fishbowl, lol, and I absolutely love it!
