    We have our annul Christmas Party here. First Saturday of December each year. We had Hailey as our waitress. Everything was perfect!

    Levi R.

    The prices were a little high for the amount of food, but the food I had tasted well. Especially for being a chain restaurant, I was surprised at how great the seafood tasted. The restaurant itself is nice inside and the staff was kind as well.

    Ordered a regular burger. Food was hot, fresh and fast. Our waiter checked on us frequently. Their fries were well seasoned which I enjoyed. The burger was a good size it has decent flavor but nothing that I would have to have. It's good choice when in a hurry and dont want to eat drive through/fast food. My daughters ate the honey hot chicken and thr buffalo chicken sandwhich. Both chicken sandwiches were well portions. And they both really enjoyed their meals. They did have a lot of drink options.

    This was my first time trying this place and I was pretty pleased. It was really nice to order first because it feels like you get your food faster. The waiters were very attentive and kind. As for the food itself it was pretty yummy! The chicken sandwich I got had a hugeee pice of chicken and was quite tasty. The Cajun fries and shrimp were also really yummy and I really like everything overall.

    My leftover crawfish and beer smh

    I ordered 3 pounds of crawfish. Garlic butter flavored. Soggy and no garlic to be found. Juice was horrible. Waiter was nice but put down my ticket and I just began eating so am i supposed to pay now? He said no and i ordered two pounds of a different flavor crawfish. Tasted the same with visible butter on it. Then another waitress comes asking was everything ok and if i could pay. I'm like now? My hands are messy she brings me wipes and I said being to go boxes also I'm done here. Smh I still tipped but I am not happy. Probably won't eat the leftovers. I do not recommend the crawfish and don't get comfortable sitting and eating.

    Single stack burger with onion rings
    Heather M.

    Steer clear of the single stack and onion rings... Willie's is a good spot if you are looking for relatively inexpensive burgers, chicken fried steak, and a hodgepodge of other grilled and fried food. You do get what you pay for. The single stack burger, at just $8.99 with a side and drink, is more akin to a smash burger, and was served over cooked and lacking flavor. Sadly, the condiments and veg did the heavy lifting. Where the beef was overcooked, the onion rings were under done... colorless, soggy batter surrounding a nearly raw onion. The rings are an additional .99 cent charge... stick with the fresh fries that are included with the burger. On the brightside, Willie's has an expansive beer selection, good milkshakes, and attentive service. Imagine a few notches below Five Guys, but with beer... Cheers!

    The restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience marked by outstanding service and a warm, inviting ambience. From the moment you walk in, the staff are attentive, friendly, and genuinely eager to make your visit memorable without ever feeling intrusive. The atmosphere is beautifully balanced--stylish yet comfortable--making it perfect for both relaxed meals and special occasions. Thoughtful lighting, tasteful décor, and a calm, welcoming energy create a space where you can truly unwind and enjoy your time. It's a place where great service and ambience come together to elevate the entire experience.

    not sure of typical happy hours but right now until august they have their small flavored margaritas for $3.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    No, I'm sorry we only allow service dogs both inside and on the patio.

My husband got the brisket and said it was a little chewy. He didn't like sweet tea, and said it had a weird taste. The food wasn't bad, it's just I had high expectations because of the what I have heard about how good it was. However, I did go when it was about an hour to closing so maybe that had something to do with it. I might try it again.

I easily counted at least 10 flies that we were having to swat away from our food, we were seated inside. S&P on the table was needed and should have been provided without asking. Cornbread should have been offered complimentary. We ordered the cornbread but did not finish it as it had an off taste and some cross contamination in the butter dish. Grilled Shrimp skewer was overcooked and unexpectedly had something like chili powder. Roasted vegetables were bland and needed some seasoning or at least salt. Husband enjoyed the pork chops but side of fries were lacking in crispness and flavor. Pork chops increased the review from one star to two. I had hopes for the bread pudding and it did have good flavor BUT was lacking the key ingredient of rum, burboun, or whiskey. I'm not sure how the reviews are as good as they are or how they stay in business. Do not recommend! The one saving grace was that we came here to use our AMEX Resy benefits, so not much out of pocket.

The moment you step inside, the noise outside fades into something warmer -- replaced by the hum of conversation, bursts of laughter, and the comforting rhythm of a place full of life. The room buzzes with stories from long days, friends catching up over coffee, and the familiar clatter of plates and silverware. From the kitchen comes the constant symphony of sizzling grills, clanging pans, and ice tumbling into glasses, all blending together into the kind of atmosphere that feels alive rather than loud. It's the sound of comfort. And then there's the smell -- sweet maple syrup drifting through the air, butter melting slowly over stacks of golden flapjacks, fresh coffee brewing somewhere nearby. Every detail makes the diner feel less like a restaurant and more like a memory you didn't realize you missed. It's cozy, genuine, and full of warmth -- the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer after the meal is over.

The good: The beer selection was solid, and the cucumber margarita was genuinely delicious. The not-so-good: * Wedge Salad: The salad itself was fine, but the highlight--bacon--was extremely sparse. Six tiny squares were placed on the edge of the plate, which felt oddly rationed and not nearly enough to enjoy throughout the salad. * Mussels: This was the most concerning dish. We expected mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce, but instead received them in a buttery yellow-orange sauce with a very unpleasant odor. The smell was not "fishy" but something far more off-putting--honestly resembling manure. I've worked in the restaurant industry for years and don't send food back lightly, but this was not normal. The server said the smell was typical, suggesting vinegar may have made it "pungent." Ultimately, the manager told us we still needed to pay for the dish, which we did without argument, though the experience was disappointing. * Shrimp Appetizer: It was fine, but nothing memorable or worth raving about. * Burger: The patty was overcooked, the bun was dry, and the fries ended up being the best part--crispy and greasy. Overall, we were hoping for a much better experience. While the drinks were enjoyable, the food quality and response to legitimate concerns left a lot to be desired.
