overpriced food in my opinion. it was alright but not worth the price. go next door to OPA! much more happening place

Yummy place to come for Happy Hour! (4-6) My group got: - Mac and Cheese: Ok, but I prefer mines to be more cheesy - Potato Boats: My fave! But i love potatoes so I'm totally biased... - Corn Bread: Honey, buttery goodness - Pesto Cheese Bread: Tasty, exactly what it sounds like - Chicken Tostadas: These were surprisingly delicious! Perfect guac to chicken ratio Portions are really big! You can bring your own bottle of wine! No corkage fee :) We finished our bottle and also ended up getting glasses of wine, AND THEY POUR SO MUCH. It was literally about 2.5x a normal pour. I don't know if this is a normal thing or if it was just the bartender that day. Staff is always friendly and professional. Cool, comfortable atmosphere. read more

Came here for the first time with friends and the food was so delicious. Highly recommend the jalapeño cornbread! Steaks are all good and the scallops risotto is so delicious. Great staff all around. Front greeter was super nice and friendly. They keep the tables clean at all times. Highly recommend and I will be back. read more

This was a really nice place. Even though it seemed sort of fancy, we felt comfortable in tee shirts and shorts at the bar. We split a couple of appetizers- fried okra and cheese steak spring rolls. Delicious! Washed down with an 805 beer was the perfect pairing. read more

This place is a hit. Came the first time here with bunch of friends on a Sunday night and immediately the setting of the place stood out to me, very well put together. Okay let's get to the chase.., Their Brussel sprout is a must try and for the course meal.. Drums rolling... The burger, Are you kidding me?? For $15 they give you one lbs of meat with ultimate flavor and let's not mention the fries and the overall quality. This place is on the $$$ side, but how the heck the burger of this caliber is $15, I do not know and am not complaining about it. The service is also good. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is due to lack of consistency in making the burger. Sunday nights burger is surely different than the Friday night one. read more

Loved this place. Came for quick dinner and drinks. Had the crab cakes, tuna tartare, and sushi roll for the appetizer. Enjoyed the Chardonnay, beer, and top shelf gifted horse. I had a blast with great company and staff. There was a deejay playing awesome music. I will definitely be back! read more

Overall great experience here. I was a bit cautious about the prices here, but the portions were crazy big. They make sure you get your moneys worth on things like the Burger, Salads, and the ribs. This is a spot where you can go all out and get a pretty nice ribeye, or you can just go with your significant other, split the burger and get one side, and that should fill you up. Definitely will be back. read more

So glad that we ordered the crab cakes as they are probably the best I have ever had. The risotto with scallops is really tasty too. My husband loves his filet mignon the most. We enjoyed our dinner there a lot. read more

I had the steak burger. It was phenomenal, but no way I could finish it! The couple next to us shared one and still had a couple of bites left over. I'll definitely be back! read more

I went to Willard Hicks on Friday for a friends birthday dinner and we had such a great time. The appetizer and drinks were awesome, then my friends all ordered steak of some sort and I got the burger. Sadly the burger came out almost raw so I didn't eat it BUT the way our server handled the situation was what made me want to leave a good review. He asked if I wanted it taken back and I said no, but then he comped the burger and any dessert that we wanted. We ended up ordering more and having a great time through dessert. I have been other places that give me the complete wrong order and just say "sorry". So the server really made the experience so much better. We will definitely be back! read more

Was super hyped on this new restaurant and couldn't wait to give it a try. Trendy atmosphere with attentive staff. Awesome drinks. The food we got was good- but not great, but prices were a little high for Campbell. Would expect these prices in a prime SF location or even Los Gatos, not downtown Campbell. Will go back and try more dishes to see if the food is a little more promising. read more

This review is a bit overdue. Willard Hicks has one of the best Filet Mignon's I've ever had. Their food is excellent, the wine selection is reasonably priced and excellent (I recommend the Duckhorn Decoy Pinot Noir). Amazing desserts and very comfortable relaxing atmosphere. If you're looking for a nice dining place in the southbay, you have to check this place out. read more

I think I found my new favorite steak house. I ordered the 8oz filet mignon and I wish I had taken a picture. It was cooked perfectly (medium) and I swear I didn't need a knife. I had a glass of the troublemaker, which comes chilled so order that first and let it sit for a few minutes. The pancetta Mac and cheese was a perfect side! Our server, Ben, was awesome, he was really quick to take our order and was really attentive. We had a drink at the bar first whilst waiting for our table and the "some like it hot" was perfection! Definitely coming back! Also!!!: their music selection is awesome! read more

Read some of the reviews and thought this would be a great place for a date night. Decided to give this place a shot and go from there: Environment: The restaurant was clean and beautiful, there was an energetic atmosphere, and the aroma of fresh steak had me salivating. The only downside was that the music, only within the first 15 minutes, seemed a bit louder than (I think) it should have been. Food: We ordered the ginger pink bone-in ribeye and blackberry glazed filet mignon. Both entrees were delicious and the glaze on the ribeye was so delicious that I wish it came with more on the side! For dessert, I had the raspberry creme brulee and that was so tasty. It was also the first one I ever had! Pricing: Very reasonable! Service: Our server Kevin was sassy, funny, and very helpful in guiding us through the menu. He made great recommendations and was always attentive to our table. This review is for you Kevin! :D read more

Yum! Love the steaks here. The bartendars make quality drinks too and they are professional, and courteous too which is always a plus! Will come back when I got the cash-the plates are definitely on the pricey side-but worth it. read more

Love Matt our waiter!! Do not miss the cheese board and steak tacos!! Great service great wine!! read more

Willard Hicks - Cheese and charcuterie board - New American Near Me - Campbell, California

A wonderful experience and we will certainly be back for seconds! Arrived at 5:30pm hoping to score a table for two without reservations on Valentine's Day. The hostess was great and seated us right away. Our server, Jose, was helpful and all smiles. There was no indication that this was a "new" restaurant with untrained staff. They had the place running like a tight ship... which makes sense since the owners are well-versed in the restaurant business. Appetizers: tomato dill soup and poblano corn bread. Yum, yum and more yum! The soup was delicious and hearty. The corn bread was ridiculously good. Main course: blackberry filet mignon and meat loaf. Filet was cooked perfectly at medium and melted like butter in my mouth when I bit into it. Meat loaf was exactly what you hoped for - comforting and delicious. Dessert: carrot cake. It was so decadent that there was no way two of us could have finished it. It was very moist and topped with plenty of cream cheese frosting. Ambiance was casual and chic. Music was tasteful - they had a DJ who selected the right blend of songs to accompany the cool atmosphere. read more

1st time was a great impression everything was on point it was a Sunday around 4ish no wait. The food, ambiance, service and drinks. I had the Brussel Sprouts, mac and chesse, cornbread was yummy. I ordered swordfish and it was ok.. 2nd time Friday night said there was a 50min wait when I called in but i was seated right away once it got there which was 15mins after I called in. Matt was or waiter and he was cool as shit... This time I ordered the New York strip and it was ok and the sweet potato mash it was good but was to creamy like baby food. I will be back to try other items on the menu.. read more

Ok,.this place is just simply awesome. Beautiful restaurant, Great bar with 3 large TV's, price is reasonable for a Steak house, super service, 2 VIP rooms, and of course the food was superb. I ordered the Street Tacos, Steak, Ahi Tuna, & the Rock Lobster. So yummy. The cornbread is very delish. For my meal I ordered the Bone-in Ribeye with a side of Au Gratin Potato. Foe dessert I had the tasty Carrot Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This was my first time here and I loved it. Definitely will be back with more family and friends. read more

This is more of a rating of the bar as opposed to the food. I'd been searching for a place that had a wide selection of bourbon, rye and whiskey, and this place has it all, from the high-end stuff you drink neat to the lower-end (but still wonderful) for mixing. Personally, I think they make the best Old Fashioned in the area. They do it right and serve it with an ice globe so you get the taste of the bourbon or rye, and it doesn't water down nearly as much as with cubes. Service at the bar is great, and the bartenders are all excellent. As far as edible fare is concerned, I've only had a couple of things off the appetizer section, but they were awesome. The cheesy bread rocks, but the street tacos are to die for. You have a choice of three different fillings: steak, rock shrimp, or seared ahi tuna. I always order one steak and two ahi tacos. They're excellent. I've also tried the cornbread is massive and VERY tasty. I also got the Caesar salad. It's not bad, with great taste, but a little uninspiring. For the food I've had, I'd give it a 4.0. Great taste, good portions, but a little pricey for basic food. But if you want a good cocktail, you can't miss with this place! read more

It's a bit of disappointment, the food was only ok and the service was good or bad depending on who you are working with. When they served the starters, the guy just put it on the side and we have to move it ourselves (we have 2 and seated at table for 4, he put on the other half of the table where no one seats. Steak was served with no fork and the filet was burnt on the outside with hard carbon crust. Other reviewers are having a good experience so I was thinking maybe it was just us. Overall, not recommended for what they charge for. read more

This is now my favorite steakhouse. The filet here is delish!!! For starters, you can not go wrong with the wedge salad- probably the best wedge I've ever had . With the added twist of avocado, sweet bacon and corn giving it the perfect blend of flavors. Excellent and friendly staff are consistent each time we have come. And if you want a killer burger, look no further . You may not be able to finish it but it makes for great leftovers. It seems to have a steady crowd especially in the bar area. Many "after work" groups seem to meet up here during the week. Overall great food and ambiance! read more

We came without a reservation and were seated right away outside on the patio which was 5 stars. Our waitress came within a few minutes to take our order and talk to us about the menu which is 5 stars. We received our appetizers within 10 minutes after ordering which is 5 stars. Our food came over an hour after ordering which is 1 star. The food was great which is 4 stars. Manager came over before we received our food and apologized them made a lame excuse about the to go order right before our ticket being hundreds of dollars... Well guess what I don't care about that we were starving. We were there just shy of 2 hours. 2 hours total for our dinner not a fine dining experience. We are from out of town and only visit every 10 years so no skin off their backs but if I were a local I would return which is too bad because the food was great. read more

MISERABLE FOOD AND INSULTING SERVICE. What do a regional manager, An engineer, an administrator, and an educator have in common? A horrible evening at Willard Hicks. We spent $175.00 for soupy risotto with undercooked scallops, two orders of BBQ ribs that were both cold---really, actually refrigerator cold-- at the center, and a Asian fusion meal with oily soggy "crispy noodles". NONE of us finished our meals. Our server--Julianne--was rude and insulting made the meal particularly unpleasant. We had to get our own drinks from the bar and ask the busboy to get knives, napkins, water, to go boxes. We tipped him well. Julieanne did not get a good tip. We have been to Willard Hicks before. We will not return. If you get Juilieanne as a server, go to another restaurant. read more

Well i dont know what to say but we did a reservation for this place and my husband recieved a call from one of the staff and told us they over booked so my husband said we made reservations and we are going thier at this moment they calledbus at 630 andnoir resrrvations were at 7 we got thier they were barley gettibg our table ready wihich they put tables together getting them from the backnof the restaurant while others were getting seated we were just put any were they can find and thats not all they took 2 hours for our food to come out a two hour wait ridiculous i will never eat thier again. The food was good but not worth the wait. Service was horrible. read more

I love all their food and its hard to decide which dish to have because they are all so good. The food portions are really huge so we like to order different plates and share. The ambiance is swanky with great music playing just right. The only drawback is there are popular so just a slight wait to get seated, which we don't mind because its worth the wait. One of my favorite dishes is the steak burger! Pretty large to eat yourself. Both locations in Morgan Hill and Campbell are great but Morgan Hill has a fabulous outdoor patio that adds so much to the city streets. read more

I went here for my anniversary dinner with my fiance last weekend. let me tell you......FANTASTIC. Our waiter never made us wait long, she was friendly, the food was delicious, and the decor is beautiful. I had braised short ribs and my fiance had the burger, both were cooked to perfection. I'm coming back for my birthday in February! You won't be let down when you dine here. read more

An excellent selection of fusion food. We had two bottles of pine ridge Cabernet, the calamari steak and a bone in ribeye steak with Brussels. The carrot cake was excellent as a finisher. Best service and attention to detail. read more

Really liked this place. Got the scallops and risotto and it was really tasty. Guy got a steak and he really liked it. Also ordered the cesar which was a nice twist. The dressing is a spicy jalepeno. Got a side of scallop potatoes which wasn't the best. It needed something, maybe more seasoning. Service was great. Will definitely return. read more

What a great addition to Campbell. This restaurant is waay better than the Latin restaurant that was there before. It really has interesting food and appetizers. As for their steak??? I've had better. But their fried chicken is delicious and so is the burger. Don't skip the corn bread. It is THAT good. I have not tried their drinks and they have a decent selection of wine. I think this place really will do well. It'll take a chunk of biz away from Dry Creek Grill that's for sure. It's just have a younger and livelier feel to it. I'm a fan and will come back. read more

Willard Hicks - New American Near Me - Campbell, California

My boyfriend and I went to Willard Hicks this past Friday for his Birthday. A few things I want to comment on for why I'm giving it 3 stars 1st: The wait time was absolutely ridiculous. We were quoted 60-70 mins. We had called ahead, which was great, and when we checked in he said less than 30 minutes, which would have met the 70 mins BUT we ended up waiting 103 mins! At about75 mins when I checked in with the hostess he just told me, " I can't give you a time" and I understand that it was busy, and he was getting it from all directions, so I did not make a big deal about it, but 103 minutes is just crazy! 2nd: The waiter we had was fantastic and the first corkage fee for our bottle was free! Awesome!! 3rd: My boyfriend ordered the classic Willard Hicks peppercorn steak, which was tasty, and we got the au grating potatoes and corn bread as an appetizer (highly recommended) 4th: I got the scallops dish with risotto which was mediocre at best, which made me sad :(! The scallops should have been seared longer, they had very little texture and the risotto was harder and chewier then I like, but again I am not one to complain when a restaurant is that swamped, I just feel bad. Lastly, the frozen milk and cookies were so yummy, Highly recommend! And it was complimentary for my boyfriend birthday! I really was looking forward to this restaurant but it did not impress me as much as I'd hope. IF I come back, I'll definitely have to try a steak, that might be better, and come on a weekday or Sunday. read more

I stopped by Willard Hicks and wasn't too busy on a Tuesday afternoon. Happy hour specials are definitely worth stopping by for. I had the firecracker chicken and the corn bread. I suggest getting on or the other because they share the exact sauces. I enjoyed the service at the bar. The bartender was great, very attentive, and she allowed me to sample some of her concoctions. The appetizers were really good. I ordered the bone in rib eye and it wasn't very entertaining. The steak was over cooked for medium rare, and wasn't very flavorful. The bartender offered to take it back for me, but I powered through it and the brussel sprouts were amazing. 5/5 service at the bar 1/5 for the steak read more

The food was very good Fried chicken delicious corn bread delicious steak tacos very good carrot cake-was good but I have had better. All of their desserts are made on site. Their ice creams are to die for! They could use better decorating Server tended to rush us and so did busboy We will be back read more

Great place for food and drinks! Love that they sat my group of gf's in a private area so we were able to be loud w/o bothering other dining guests. They say is at s round table which we really enjoyed since everyone was able to see each other while sharing our food. We ordered the , truffle Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, pesto cheese bread, street tacos, cornbread, ribs, t bone steak, risotto scallops and blackberry filet mignon. Everything was sooooo good! To top it off, we got free dessert for the two birthday girls (delicious Choco chip cookies that we're crispy in the outside and warm with vanilla ice cream). Service was great as well! read more

Just made an order from Fluc. Not impressed. The ribs were below average with too much sauce and the chicken dish was dry. read more

Nothing fancy... It was girlfriends and she likes steaks so I brought her here, I wish I didn't. The food was well over priced and our server Anthony was one of the rudest servers I've ever had. The fillet mignon was average and the tinga appetizers were decent, but I don't understand why the food was soo over priced. I definitely wouldn't come back. read more

Went in with a couple friends for drinks and maybe dinner. The bar was elbow to elbow but we were able to eventually grab two seats. Drinks were solid and timely but one (mule) was a little weak. It was addressed right away. We eventually got a table for dinner... Can't beat them ribs!!! Everyone else in the group was happy with their food. As a Campbell local I'll absolutely be back. read more

It's not bad, but it's definitely not wowing. First off, a place to me, can be reflected well by the serve staff...our waitress looked like she didn't want to be there and she had a way of making you feel like we were putting her out by just being there. We started our dinner with french onion soup which was overly salty & also ordered the cheeseboard. Hmmmmm, the cheeses, the bread was typical of what you could find at Safeway. Very simple cheeses with an odd large amount of blue cheese on the board. The accompanying meats,...I've had better from whole foods. My husband ordered the $44 18 oz bone in rib eye, that's a la cart. The cut was not very tender despite ordering it medium rare and their steak knives had a bit of a time handling the job. Most steak houses should have quality cutlery if your steaks aren't cutting like butter. It was topped with a Demi glace that was more like a gravy. I had a spicy asiago mambo salad with filet cutlets. The salad was tastey but not mind blowing. For dessert, he order the crem brulee. It was more like a pudding under the crusty sugary topping. Our friends ordered the apple pie which was heavy on the nutmeg. If there were other spices ( like cinnamon) you couldn't taste it at all due to the nutmeg over powering everything. The crust was made out of phyllo...hmm weird. It was very pale like it wasn't cooked all the way. Overall, stay away from the apple pie. It's a pricey venue,with a grumpy waitress, subpar food, and chic atmosphere. read more

I'm completely disappointed. We have lived in Campbell for almost a year and have looked to this place as a "fancy, once a year celebration" kind of place. Not so much. The service was awful (I was a server for 3 years, so I'm usually incredibly forgiving), but our server had 4 tables and we saw him maybe 4 times total. Never asked how our food was, never apologized that our drinks came out 20 minutes after ordering. The water guy was 10/10 though, he tried to refill my water when it was still full, but it's probably because they were overflowing from liquids by pulling it out of the chicken. Whatever you do, don't order the sticky chicken. Unless, you like having to gnaw on a carcass for about 30 minutes each chew. I ordered my filet mingon medium with a side of spicy sauce and it came well done without any sauce. Our $9 "enough to feed to table" side of mashed potato's were 100% instant (again I have been a server so I know the difference between instant and hand peeled). If I had to come again, I would sit at the bar (no server needed) and order cocktails and pesto bread- those were the stars of our night. We were looking forward all week to a special once a year date night and walked away disappointed. Went to Vesper and immediately had a better experience, should've gone there from the start. read more
