    Fajita nachos

    A friend secured a 7:30 PM reservation so we'd have plenty of time to eat before the band started. The staff is so accommodating and welcoming. Cameron was our server for a party of seven and did an exceptional job! Our food orders were correct and our drinks were rarely empty. It's such a great venue for grabbing an excellent bite to eat, some tasty beers and awesome local music.

    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.

    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!

    Went into the dive bar to see some music from Ashmore. The place is a real dive bar. Not clean and lots of smokers. WTF???!!!??? I thought that was not allowed anymore. Kind of ruined the visit. Smoking sucks and if you're trying to enjoy a beer. The service was not bad but I only got a beer before I was smoked out. If you don't mind smelling smoke this is your place.

The Texas chili had a good level of heat, but it was a bit gritty, as if it may have been slightly over-seasoned. My sour cream chicken enchiladas were decent, though not outstanding--the chicken was cubed rather than shredded, which affected the texture for me. My guy ordered the taco salad with spicy beef and really enjoyed it, though it definitely brought the heat--he was sweating by the end. Even so, he said he'd order it again. What really elevated the experience was our waiter, Cameron. He was friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions. He kept our drinks full without us ever having to ask, refilling our tea at least five times. His service alone took the experience from a 3-star to a 4-star visit.

On the downside, it IS in downtown Grapevine, an intolerable place. The parking is difficult, especially on a Sunday, and the people walking on the sidewalks act as though it's their first time on an actual city sidewalk. The band was quite good. The food? Moderate. I would probably give it a B. We did not try the chili, and it is a chili parlor, so shame on us. That said, the sampler platter was nice. It is worth a return trip for another good band. The service was very attentive without interrupting the music - it was a great balance.

My husband went around 8pm yesterday and sat outside and listened to the live music. we ordered a margarita and a blueberry mojito and the drinks were PHENOMENAL, so delicious. my Husband got chips & queso and it was good, I got the mean street nachos with birria beef and it was ok at best. The cheese on it was supposed to be liquid but you could tell it had been sitting for a while and the beef was really dry and had no flavor. I ate it cause I was starving and didn't wanna wait or cause any issues, I'll definitely go back and hopefully have better food. our server was nice but she didn't smile at all but she answered my questions about the mojito and gave suggestions which one I should get (she said blueberry was most popular) we were there for an hour and she popped up 4 times before we asked for the check. everything was great except the food, giving it a second chance

They also have a full bar as swell as beer. We ordered burgers and fries. These are not just average burgers. They are cooked well and served hot with a heaping portion of fries. It was such an outstanding burger. My entire group loved their choices. There are specially crafted burgers, where they have precise toppings. But you can also craft your own. The first time we went, I just got the Bacon Cheeseburger. It was yummy, and everything was on point. The next time I went for lunch with a friend. They have $9.99 burgers for lunch on Wednesdays. What a deal. This time I got the Wake n' Bacon Burger. Sweet and Savory Coffee Seasoning, , smoked Gouda, Bacon Jam, fresh jalapeños, Texas Pete fried Onion Straws and BBQ sauce. I didn't want the sweet BBQ. Sauce, I switched it to Mayo and Mustard that worked better m for me. This was so very good. Again a mountain of fries. I ate the entire burger which I normally do not. Definite great spot for casual dining and the added pleasure of a live band on specific dates and times.

She also made sure that I understood the okra was fried whole. I wish I would've asked what kind of batter, it was tempura style and very thick. It was crisp but the okra itself was impossible for me to bite into or cut with a regular knife, so I was unable to eat it! I wish I would've gotten the brussels sprouts; my friend shared hers with me and they were incredible and a huge portion!! My friend and I came in about 4:30 PM and there was lots of available seating and parking. The giant Bohemian Bull and the other decorations on the walls are a nice touch.

I had…read moreheard several people talking about Mi Dia From Scratch, so I decided it was finally time to see what all the buzz was about. I arrived during the lunch rush, and both the parking lot and the restaurant were packed. Even though they were extremely busy, we were immediately greeted by a courteous and polite young man who quickly escorted us to a booth. We were seated in Ms. Maria's section, and she was a wonderful server. She greeted us with a warm smile, brought us menus along with the lunch menu, chips and salsa, and promptly served our water. She gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and was friendly, attentive, and very courteous throughout our meal. The chips and salsa were very good. My only suggestion would be to offer a salsa without cilantro for those who prefer it. We ordered the Create Your Own Combo Plate, which included a chicken flauta, a crispy taco, rice, and refried beans topped with cheese for $15.50. The taco was perfectly crispy and well seasoned, while the chicken flauta was covered in a flavorful red chile sauce that had just the right amount of heat. The rice and refried beans were seasoned perfectly and complemented the meal well. We also ordered the chimichanga, smothered in cheese sauce and served with rice and refried beans, for $16.00. It was well seasoned, delicious, and satisfying. The flavors weren't overpowering--they were balanced and enjoyable, making it a dish I would gladly order again. This was my first visit to Mi Dia From Scratch, and I came away very impressed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant also offers a nice outdoor seating area. Between the excellent service and flavorful food, I will definitely be back. I hope you'll give it a try too!

The portions are also huge Our server was wonderful from start to finish. He was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often without being overbearing. The service was honestly the best part of the experience. We started with the Sichuan calamari, and this was easily the highlight of the meal. It was perfectly crispy, the glaze had just the right amount of sweetness and heat, and the seasoning gave it a nice kick without overpowering the calamari. It was one of the best calamari dishes I've had and definitely raised my expectations for everything that followed. Next was the tenderloin bruschetta, and unfortunately this one just didn't work for me. The flavors didn't come together, and it was much saltier than it needed to be. It felt like there were too many things happening on the plate without much balance. I wouldn't order it again. For the entrées, the Chilean Sea Bass was very good. The fish was flaky and cooked well, the risotto was creamy, and the sauce brought everything together without being too heavy. It was one of the stronger dishes we ordered. The lobster stuffed ravioli was another solid choice. The filling was generous, there was plenty of lobster on top, and the vodka sauce complemented everything nicely without taking over. It was rich but still well balanced. We also tried the New Zealand rack of lamb. This one had mixed reviews at our table. It wasn't as tender as I was hoping, but I didn't dislike it and again I didn't love it! The blackened exterior and the wine reduction gave it good flavor, but it just wasn't particularly memorable. My favorite entrée ended up being the tomahawk pork chop. The pork itself was juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well. I wasn't a huge fan of the pineapple bourbon glaze since I didn't think it added much to the dish, but the quality of the meat made up for it. We also had the strawberry spinach salad, which was fresh and a nice lighter option alongside all the richer dishes. Then there was also a side dish with green beans and almond and again no complains there. Overall, I left feeling a little conflicted. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, and the portions were very generous. The food itself was a mix of really good dishes and others that completely missed the mark. After such an incredible start with the calamari, I expected the rest of the meal to be on the same level, but it just never got there. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think it's a place I'd rush back to.
