The food was excellent! I ordered the Bourbon Burger, though I would recommend requesting extra bourbon sauce on the side. My husband chose the Seafood Platter, which came generously loaded with three shrimp, a large piece of fish, fries, onion rings, and hush puppies, more than enough to bring leftovers home. We also started with an appetizer featuring a half-and-half combination of mushrooms and fried jalapeño peppers, which was a great way to kick off the meal.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ The staff was pleasant and hardworking, though a few organizational hiccups such as a table that needed cleaning upon arrival, a missing side dish, and having to make repeated requests for condiments kept the service from matching the quality of the food. With a little more coordination, these small issues could easily be avoided. The warm, country atmosphere is charming and welcoming. We will absolutely return and are so glad we discovered this gem!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

During my travels I come across gems that really impress me. The Corral did that and more during my visit here. When I arrived, there was a wonderful gentleman and artist painting Christmas greetings on the windows. I was greeted and my server Calise got me some water while I looked over the menu. Everything sounded good so I asked Calise for a recommendation...the Chopped Steak dinner was her choice, and I went with it. This is a solid...rib sticking good meal. The mushroom and onions in the gravy really added great flavor, the "steak" perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes were homemade and good. I went for the onion rings because they are homemade and they were really good! I enjoyed how Calise explained the kitchen here...apart from five items, everything is freshly cooked from scratch. I really enjoyed the fun atmosphere here, these folks make you feel at home. If they keep serving food like this while taking exceptional care of their customers, they have a bright future ahead. read more

Enjoyed a lunch here with my wife. I had the Jalapeño smash burger and she had the fish tacos. Both meals were really good although she was not a fan of queso corn. I had the onion rings with my burger and they were delicious. Prices were standard and they had a nice menu. They will be serving crawfish this year. The servers weee super friendly and my drink was always topped off. Will be back. read more

The service is good but the food in bland. I tried the chicken fried steak and it needs more seasoning. I don't like a lot of salts in my food but it felt like there wasn't any at all. read more

Great spot, large portions and our waitress was really friendly. I had the chicken fried steak which you get two sides with. I picked the mashed potatoes and 5 Cheese Mac & Cheese and it was all delicious. I mainly got the mac & cheese so my wife and daughter could try it out because they are connoisseurs of anything cheese and they loved it. My wife and daughter both got the creamy baked potato soup and they loved that. We had fried pickles for an appetizer as well, they were also good but the great part was they gave us each our own little ranch cup for the appetizer and that was a nice tough since we are always out of ranch in 27 seconds. Prices weren't bad either. We recommend this place and we'll be back. read more

Ok, we are 5 meals in and I'm pumped! -Menu is well designed for the area -Food is Great -Portions are good -Staff is Great! There have been mult restaurants at this location over the past 20 years and the first one retired, second one moved, third one didn't make it, fourth was more of a caterer, etc., and it's been sad to not have a good place like this nearby. I'm so glad these people moved in and are doing a great job! Ordering now, which is what reminded me to finally do this! Let's go Corral Willis! read more

I am always here eating something but at dinner there is no senior citizens menu. I am a senior but will not order regular dinners unless someone is with me to help eat it The prices for one meal are around 18.00 for dinner but I can't eat but about a third of it. That's my only complaint. The food is good. I just hate wasting. I don't like microwave food. So I waste so much money at dinner Can we please have smaller portions and smaller dollars. The staff are all awesome. They work hard to make sure your taken care of. The food is always hot and great!! Maybe let seniors at night eat off the lunch menu more or have a certain dinner say like taco Tuesday Lots of restaurants do different things for their seniors read more

All the reviews about the Ice Tea are absolute gospel. Best iced tea I have had! The waitress was friendly and helpful. They do not skip on portion size and the food was great! We will be back the next time we are in Willis read more

4 stars Good food, great atmosphere and great service!!! Fried mushrooms, and onion rings were exceptional.

Been here only a handful of times but myself and those who Work with me all have shared the same experiences amongst ourselves. All around this is the best restaurant not only in Willis Texas but the whole county and every county touching. Never waiting, service is top notch! Waiters and waitress alike are kind, professional, quick, helpful, and never let a glass run empty. The prices are beyond fair in this economy but our favorite part is the food. There is no better food around! Everything is good and i mean everything! My 11yr old since being a baby has been a picky eater who doesn't like most folks cooking and The corral is her new and probably forever favorite spot! I'm a new place trying junkie and all my years i finally found a spot im going to call "home" see yall tonight! read more

Great sweet tea, sonic style ice, fantastic smash burger- so juicy! Also the BEST service, the waitress Candy is 10/10.

Lunch time visit, crowded but half a dozen empty tables. Waitress took our drink order, then 15 min later, our appetizer and meal order. 20 min later, appetizer arrived. We knew they were busy, but the crow had thinned and it was slowing down at this point. Another 15 min my husban'ss soup arrived, a seafood gumbo, with almost no actual seafood in it. Maybe half a cup in a big, giant bowl of broth with a bit of white rice in the middle. $17.00 was steep, though he says it tasted good. My grilled chicken salad never arrived.......waited patiently until the waitress had a conversation with the kitchen that she needed a grilled chicken salad. She had assured me 10 minutes prior that m y food was on the way. When it came, it was good, but.......we won;t be back again. Service matters, as does price. Soup and a salad should not take almost an hour, ever. We watched half a dozen tables come in after us, get their food, eat and pay an d leave before I saw a salad. If I could give negative stars, I would. read more
