    Blackened Shrimp with vegetables and Mexican corn
    Jeri T.

    I'm still middle of the road with this one. Service can be hit or miss as with the food. Today the service was excellent and the food acceptable. I wish I could ask for my shrimp to be blackened a bit more. Maybe I will next time. Then again, I don't want them over cooked.

    Remnants of the fried seafood combo of catfish and shrimp. Sorry...

    I've been to many of the Willie's over the years, but this is the first time here. It was just as shabby chic as all the rest so it felt comfortable and familiar. Same process: order food, get your drink, and wonder why you tip the food runner if you do everything else. Well, this is the way it works these days. The only difference from the others is the EXPLOSION of road noise. This opens right up onto a very heavy service road right next to a powerful south Austin flow of I-35. It is LOUD. Get your rowdy voice on when you come here. This time, I went with the fried seafood platter which came with a couple pieces of catfish and a half dozen shrimp. Cooked on point and tasty. Also came with a side of fries and very nice cole slaw. Overall, a good meal, but I doubt I would put up with the noise headache again. Too many other spots to explore.

    Been here several time. Yes, it a chain but it's consistently good, at least the one here in Kyle. We usually order the snow crab it's always good. Today, however, it was exceptionally fantastic, with a little extra spice! Soo good! Also had the blackened catfish and man, was it delightful! Seasoned really well and lightly seared, the catfish just melter in your mouth, especially after you dipped it on their new butter lemon sauce! Also, kudos to our server, Margo, super sweet , prompt, attentive and friendly.

    This was the first time we tried Willie's and we ordered to go. The service was great. It was easy to select our meals and the employee brought the food to us without a delay. I ordered the shrimp meal, hubby ordered a turkey burger, kids ordered chicken sandwiches. Hubby and I didn't care for our meals. The shrimp was just ok. Kinda rubbery and I didn't care for the breading. Hubby didn't care for the turkey burger either, he said it lacked flavor, no seasoning. The kids loved their sandwiches though so next time we will try those or a burger.

    We wanted to go to a sit down laid back restaurant after having a long day of moving furniture and driving all day. When you walk in you actually order your food first at the counter then you go seat yourself wherever you want to sit. You dont pay until the end of your visit. There are tvs all around and it's a pretty spacious place. Eventually staff comes to your table for your food receipt and they headed back to the kitchen We ordered some fried shrooms (they were good but feel they took it out of the fryer to soon) and some wings. We ordered them extra crispy but they really weren't that crispy when we got them. They were ok as far as flavor but pretty small in size, but I will probably try something else when we go back for another visit. Maybe the burger next time. The staff was friendly and they checked in periodically for any refills and if we needed anything else. I do recommend the place and I will give them another chance. They just fell a little short when it comes to the cooking of the food but service was great and the place is a nice spot.

    My son has been begging us to try this spot. So, we treated him after his baseball games. The bar and outside area are nice. The food was hot and fresh. The service was excellent.

    Fell upon this place last night. Went in and sat at the bar. It was clean and casual.....AND THE GARLIC CRAB BOWL WAS AMAZING. Only complaint was I WISH I BOUGHT TWO, and they had some small potatoes in the bowl as well. They would have been delicious in that yummy sauce. For a lady, the one pound portion was good....just needs to be a little more filling. All and all, A PLEASANT SURPRISE. Definitely a KYLE MUST GO TO.

    Lyndsey is awesome! She has done great from day 1 and has taken great care of us since macey left. The food here is good, the service (with Lyndsey) is great, and the atmosphere with the climate controlled open air patio is top notch too.

    Redfish Pontchartrain with Hush Puppies and Loaded Mashed Potatoes
    James F.

    All new things popping up along IH-35; I joke there are three different parts to Kyle now. Super glad to see one of my favorite Austin places just a few pads down. Almost went there but instead decided to try Houston based Willie's Grill. Known about this small chain for some years because of the New Braunfels location but never stopped in. Called to see if there was a wait as the lot was nearly full. No line so come on in! Well, sorta. You place your initial order at a counter. Then, head to any open table for full service. I looked at the online menu before the visit and found the counter menus lacking. The boudin balls I ordered weren't posted anywhere but online. Tasty bites to start off the meal with tangy dipping sauce. I was surprised at the prices. My Redfish Pontchartrain would have cost $45 at Pappadeaux. Here at Willie's $20. I found the blackening spice worked well with the Mushroom and Shrimp cream sauce. This entree was NOT on any menu except to order online. Sides could have been better. The Loaded Mashers weren't warm enough to even melt the shredded cheese. Also, the bacon bits were horribly overcooked. Hush Puppies were OK. Also added a pound of Snow Crab Legs for $17. Hmmm, way cheaper than RL. Walking out the door I left with something you don't get much of these days. A sense of value that is absent from nearly every restaurant in America. I will be back to try some other dishes. Might even bring my car club peeps for a visit as well.

    We visited Taste on Main for the first time for brunch on the weekend. Some of my party ordered…read morebreakfast food but I had the shrimp and grits. I have to say this was some of the best shrimp and grits I've had. The portion was perfect, not too heavy on the grits and plenty of gravy, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp. As I looked over the menu, I realized that they have some amazing seafood choices and their raw oysters on the half shell are very high-quality for the area. Our service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and offered coffee refills on the regular. The restaurant itself and bar are so well decorated. It's such a comfortable place. What makes it even better is they have a huge covered outdoor area for overflow or if you just want to sit outside. Everything about Taste on Main makes it one of my favorites in the area. I will definitely be back, I may become a regular.

    Dropped in on a Thursday pm for early dinner so plenty of seating available. Service was quick,…read moreserver very accommodating and the restaurant was clean although we noticed a couple of flies buzzing around. Did not visit the restroom. Ambience was nice with the exception of one toddler on the other side making a little bit too much ruckus. Hopefully a one off. Our food arrived quickly enough. Major Yum yum points across the board for the crawfish dip (super delicious) loaded mashed potatoes (did I mention w Bacon) and the Steak carpaccio. Below par for the Chicken fried steak w potatoes, green beans (flavorless) and I don't know but I expected the Ceviche salmon to be..more. Not entirely a bad experience. I'd be willing to try other items on their menu next time round.

I went for happy hour with another couple but missed it by 30 mins... our wait staff, Mason was very accommodating and attentive. My party shred an app and our sides. My husband and I shared the chicken fried steak, definitely large enough for two. we were all satisfied with the portions and food! Collectively we had: Brisket nachos- must order! Chicken fried steak x2 Creamed corn/spinach Bacon wrapped shrimp -VERY good. Has a hint of horseradish Banana pudding...you must like artificial banana flavors to enjoy this one. Brownie sundae -basic. We each had 2 drinks. The frozen old fashioneds are great! I like the etched ice cubes for non frozen cocktail. Cute little touch. The total was ~$250. Which is very reasonable for 4.

The restaurant has a lot of seating inside, at the bar, and outside. It has a really nice view of the hill country. After being seated we waited awhile and enjoyed conversation and the view. Our waiter was very busy but came over and introduced himself while apologizing and saying that he would return to take our drink order and bring menus. When he returned we ordered our waters. He eventually brought us our drinks and took our order. Despite the delay our waiter was very friendly, checked in on us regularly, and did a really good job the entire time. We decided to share a few items. We ordered the Wagyu Brisket Nachos which comes with brisket, cheese, jalapenos, refried beans, topped with pico de gallo. The nachos were tasty. The chips were thick and able to hold the ingredients. They had a little too much pico but all of the combined ingredients were good. We also shared creamed corn and spinach. This was delicious. The corn had pieces of cobbed corn and spinach spread throughout. This is one of my favorite creamed corn because of the taste and texture. My husband ordered the Texas Peach which is a handheld sandwich that comes with fried chicken, horseradish jam, pickles, and slaw. He enjoyed it. I tried it and we agreed that the chicken was the star of this dish. It was a good size with a crispy exterior and tender interior. I ordered the Whiskey Ridge Steak Burger cooked Medium which is a handheld burger that has grilled meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. This burger was delicious. It was cooked perfectly and you could taste the grill in the meat. The other ingredients added some taste and texture. Overall Whiskey Ridge was a great place to visit. The outdoor atmosphere and scenery is beautiful. The service was great and the food was delicious.
