Amazing - gotta give this place a chance! Friday night crowd - 15-20 minute wait for a table - not bad. CF Steak - was husband's choice - he loved it. I picked the Cajun Chicken - amazing - chicken breast covered in jambalaya / jack cheese & jalapeños .... Most definitely a repeater!!! read more

This place gave me the runs real hard. I went in for the French dip special, it was actually more salty then them salt blocks cows lick, don't ask me how I know. My sodium level is now through the roof and my bathroom is destroyed. read more

Stopped by El Dorado on the way home for a quick dinner. Chris had the Open-Faced Chili Burger. It was ginormous! And according to Chris, it was very good! I had the Fish and Chips Dinner which also came with a fresh side salad. The fish was lightly-battered, flaky and well seasoned. I loved the sweet potato fries! The service was quick and yes, you seat yourself in the roomy dining area as a friendly neighborhood restaurant should be! read more

Willie's Was Such A Good Place For Lunch! My Crew And I Were Stopping Through El Dorado For A Quick Lunch While We Were On A Short Business Trip And Found Willie's To Have The Best Menu. It Definitely Has A Sports Bar Feel But The Service Was Prompt And Kind. We Were Able To Order Our Food Quickly. My Coworkers Ordered Chicken Tenders And I Ordered A Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich. The Chicken Tenders Were Large And Fresh. Their Food Was HOT And Smelled SO Good! The Fires Were Crispy But My Coworkers Stated That They Were Empty Inside Which Was Sad But No Big Deal! My Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich Was Great. It Was Fresh And Had A Great Homemade Ranch! The Chicken Was Perfectly Cooked And Well Seasoned. I Would Absolutely Suggest Going To Willie's Especially For A Game Day! I'm Sure It's A Local Hit! read more

Great little bar & grill family friendly! Food was good and drinks were strong! Would go back again. Also the waitresses are hot if you're into that kind of thing hah! read more

Why are the fries mushy? Why are the burger patties too small for the bun? And why are the mozzarella sticks cold and hard? Save your money unless you're desperate. The burger was just fine. read more

Delicious food. Amazing service. Thanks for a great night with friends and family. All the burgers were on point!

Noisy, but a great place to eat. A local hot spot for diners and a drink. It's often crowded.

Okay sports type bar in downtown. There aren't a lot of dinner options in El Dorado. Definitely caters to the local clientele. We came with a party of 3 and stopped at the sign that said wait to be seated, and were told to wait. There were many open tables and plenty of servers who were huddled around the bar. We watched about 6 groups of locals walk in after us and go to a server with names and lots of hugs, and get seated immediately. 35 minutes later we were given a table. Food was acceptable, bar food. Service was sketchy, our server kept huddled with her friends at the bar and did not come to the table more than twice including taking our order. It's okay, but not exceptional. read more

Grabbed lunch after an outdoor event and was excited to try something local. The restaurant and bar area were very clean and spaced out nicely. Our waitress was bubbly and very welcoming! She was very attentive and water cups were always filled. Ordered the chicken fried chicken which was delicious: tender, juicy, and covered in butter cream gravy. Texas toast is always nice with fried chicken. The onion rings were plentiful and tasty with their homemade ranch. Salad was fresh and crisp. Everything on my plate was hot, which is nice to know that they cook to order and brought it out quickly. My brother got the fried pickles for an appetizer. They were lightly breaded fried pickle spears. I've only had fried pickle slices, but now I'll be looking for places that have the fried pickle spears, because they were that good! Willie's is a definitely a place that I would come back to when I'm in the area and would recommend to others! Prices are fair and service is great! Excited to try other items on the menu, too! read more

Saw the excellent reviews from a couple of elite yelpers and had to try: no disappointments! And Mountain oysters were on the menu! Of course this establishment renovated from a downtown building has an expansive menu, as well as very friendly, efficient service.

We come here for lunch on a Saturday and the service was fast, friendly; the food was delicious. We always get the cow boy quesadilla, and it was so good. We will always stop by when we are in town since we don't live in El Dorado. read more

Great little spot for lunch and a drink! We were passing through the town and stopped. The Chicken Fried Steak was perfect for me, but would have been on the smaller side for some. It was really good. The carrot cake was also really good! read more

Willies - Sports Bars Near Me - El Dorado, Kansas

Food is ok, but it's a little pricey for what you get. The service is usually good. Nice sports bar atmosphere.

I wish Willies was around when I was going to school in El Dorado KS. Stopped in tonight with a longtime friend and my son and the food here is awesome. I ordered the BUCO burger and it had a great taste, cook at the right temp, and the all of the trimmings was fresh as well. My son who loves Ruben sandwiches says the Ruben at Willies is the best he ever had. The wings were good also, we ordered the bbq and the sweet buffalo. Our server was awesome, she did a nice job taking care of us while we were there. She maintained a high level of professionalism. We also met the owner Josh who was pleasant to talk to and he wanted to make sure everything was good. His staff was friendly and smiling faces...This is a popular sports bar and there is not a bad seat in the house. I found a new stop when I'm in town and that's willies. read more

Alexis was a fantastic server! The spinach artichoke quesadilla was to die for (and extremely large) and the Willie burger was spot-on. The only downer was the volume of the speakers. Way too loud, hard to have a conversation. It won't keep us from coming back, though! We really liked the place! read more

Great service and food. Great service and food. Food was good, so was service. There's 85 characters.

Pub atmosphere. Big comfy booths. Great food. Chicken fried steak is awesome. Loved the chili too. Great place to meet up with friends!

We had the Monday burger special. Both burgers were fresh and hot as well as the fries. Will def return when in the area. read more

Willies - Checking out the local foods. - Sports Bars Near Me - El Dorado, Kansas

Had a table of 10, 4 cheese steaks all loved them with large serving of fries on the side, 2 cheeseburgers ( Pattie's thin and tasteless ) per both recipients. 4 chicken fried steaks. 2 cooked perfectly and 2 under cooked. Very firm and chewy. Sides were all ok. Since my CFS was one of the tough ones I couldn't give above 3 stars. Service was good read more

Excellent hand breaded chicken fingers with great service! Typical sports bar atmosphere.

One of the best restraints I have been to in Kansas. Waitresses are a little too friendly and actually were the cause of my divorce. Great food though. read more

I had the chicken teriyaki sandwich and the fries, the meal was amazing then we had a meeting there it was such a nice environment.

I love Willies! They have great food, great service and I love the old brick! I really like the jalapeño ranch dressing.

Great local stop, good bar food, 5 alarm burger is one of the favorites. Staff are very good and friendly.

Beer is cold and food is hot and fresh. The wait staff looks bored so come dine in the place is open.

These guys have the best wings around! Habanero is my favorite, but the spicy garlic ones are great, too!

Always enjoy Willies. Great food. Awesome staff. Never missed a weekly visit with my family.

Been a couple of times. Noisy. Average service. Below average food. Never have been a fan. Last on my list in the future.

Excellent food! We have yet to be disappointed with Willies food and service. The staff is friendly. Our favorite place to eat in El Dorado! read more

A limited-release beer from Walnut Brewing brought me back to El Dorado's Main Street. I figured I'd get lunch while I was making my way through 8.5% ABV's worth of Mosaic hops. Burgers are always a safe bet when trying a new sports bar, and this one ended up being slightly better than most. The patty was a little overcooked, but everything was seasoned, the bun was toasted, and the thin cut fries received a healthy hit of salt and pepper. As I sat there taking my sweet time to get through my burger and double IPA, an older gentleman who cooks in the back grabbed a Budweiser at the stool next to mine. Despite my best efforts to avoid eye contact, we started making small talk. "Beats the hell out of McDonald's, doesn't it?" he asked. I agreed without much commitment. read more

As far as sports bars go, Willies has it going on. It's like the Willow Smith of young rap artists - clean, fresh and though Willies whips it back back and forth, it 'ain't doing nothing wrong.' There's no smacking that Akon style. There's no 'question that's been harrassin' ala Lil' John. The grub is good - the queso is spicy enough for your amigos and Vietnamese friends alike. The chunks of red and green peppers and rings of jalapeños are nearly petrified in the thick, luxurious golden cheese-product pool. Any IPA would be woefully sad without its natural compliment, the sweet potato fry. Medium thick strips that droop in the center and come to a crisp clean finish on either end, these red-orange fries sweetly caress their caretakers tongue. ...oh and the staff is super friendly, the beer is nicely priced and the taps are plentiful. read more

I was super surprised, both by Willies and El Dorado! I agreed to meet my college daughter here because it is half way between KC and OSU. She needed to send a car load of stuff home before her official move out date. Anyway, relying on Yelp we picked this place. El Dorado is a stinkin cute town. Seriously, who knew? And this place, so cute. And the food was really good and super reasonably priced. Not sure I'll ever find myself back in El Dorado but if I do I would absolutely go back again. read more

Great spot! We had 6 in our party and everything was delicious! I am giving 5 starts because they were out of the Mountain Oysters.

I would include photos but we dug in as soon as our food came ! Ordered fried pickles (WARNING! Order was big!) and my husband and I split a pork tenderloin sandwich w onion rings. All of it was tasty! We always try to go to local places instead of the chains and we were not disappointed today! read more

Good food, good drinks and friendly staff. Quesadilla bbq is excellent. Try there cheesecake

After a hot afternoon on the lake, I found Willies and decided to give it a try. I will be back every time I visit the lake. Ordered the Reuben, with sweet potato fries and was blown away at the quality. Everything is homemade, and fresh, right down to the honey mustard served with the sweet potato fries. I liked the sauce so much, I ordered a 24 ounce container to go! This is a must stop read more
