Our group at Willhoites, sitting at the front window.

I hadn't been to Willhoites in years, and it hasn't changed a bit. Live band rockin' out. Good service by a waitress e ss or at the bar. We didn't eat anything, but they have a nice buffet, or you can order from the menu. Willjoites has been in Grapevine since 1914 when it was a day goods store. Later it became a theater, and then a gas station/garage. One of the gas pumps is still out front.

Weekend lunch buffet

Not a place that would normally interest me, but my friend chose it for our monthly meet up mainly because we wanted to walk around the area. We came in for an early lunch and to try their buffet. It's an older establishment with lots of wood accents. I think the bar is the main focus and they do allow smoking inside. The dining area is nearby so keep that in mind. The food was just ok. Salad bar was nice with quite a few options. There's a few hot entrees and sides that I think changes daily. They have banana pudding as well as a few other desserts and a soft serve machine. The price was cheap so that's an advantage. The wait staff was very welcoming and our waitress checked in on us often. Very friendly and personable. Overall, not bad but I don't see myself coming back.

$15 AYCE buffet you can't beat it! Especially on a day during grapefest! Plus my littles eat free. Winning! Best deal on the block. Not the fanciest food but not bad all American faire. It's very Smokey with cigar and cigarette smokers at the bar next to the dining area. Live music is nice to have. If I wanted a whole nighttime experience with friends this is it. But would I come here for just the food prob not. I have heard the buffet breakfast is good. Will have to try next time. Service was top notch. Enjoy!

This place has been here forever and he had been awhile since I'd eaten here. You walk into a bar like area that leads into restaurant seating area. We decided to try the lunch buffet and it didn't disappoint! Their salad bar area is everything to make an awesome salad. Their hot foods were so good. We had roast beef with gravy, pork chops, fried chicken with mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, green beans. They had jalapeño corn bread and it was very good. To top it off we had cherry cobbler ala mode! The people are very friendly and welcoming! I can't wait to come back to see what else they have on their buffet.

Finally checked out the buffet, I was a little hesitant due to the smoking option, but I was pleasantly surprised to not smell any smoke for my first visit. Everyone was friendly, food was good, the ambiance had the old tavern rustic feel to it. I love buffets and was impressed on the selection of foods including chicken cordon Bleu, which was a first for me! The French toast sticks were a little hard but still quite delicious!

Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! Will absolutely be back!

The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.

What a neat place - good atmosphere & vibes when we went on a Friday for a special lunch…read morecelebration. Big booths and various seating options inside & out. Friendly service. Good Happy Hour 3p-6p & Lunch Specials on weekdays. We enjoyed our meals and choice of side items. I got personal pizza & house salad. House salad was nothing special and they were very skimpy on the ranch. Pizza was tasty! Parmageddon & fries were enjoyed. Only thing my Dad didn't prefer with his dish was side choice of "seasonal veggies" and it was just broccoli. He was expecting more than one vegetable. He does not like broccoli but will tolerate a small amount. Lesson learned for next time, ask what the veggies are that day. Shrimp & Calamari app was good. We'll be back!

The original location in Frisco was always a go-to for us. This location is closer so we have tried…read moreto visit as often as we can. Their blackberry mojitos are well made and easy to drink! We love the decor and era theme with the MTV music video vibes. Like others have mentioned though, the service needs attention. We typically have issues with getting service on the patio, drinks are slow, we have to push for additional drinks, our food isn't severed timely, etc. Our most recent visit, I have to give our server credit, the pre-lunch salad was ordered incorrectly so it went back and by the time they re-made the salad, it came out after the main meal. My husband HATES that! We do not think twice to drive 45 minutes to get to Rock & Brew for the blackberry mojitos but to get bad service, that makes it difficult to justify. If you are headed to the bar to just have a few blackberry mojitos, I recommend this place all day. If you want service and plan to eat, I am not sure I would give it any stars with the last few visits. We have had great service here, just not in the last 3 visits.
