Best WLM Reviews
When rating restaurants, there are 3 criteria. Food, Service and Cleanliness (Google has it as Atmosphere) So if all 3 are as expected, or par for the course, I will rate the restaurant 4 Stars. If one of them is below, the other 2 need to be above to pick up the slack. That is my standard.
Food was good. I had the gumbo it was better than expected. Wife had a salad and there was some brown lettuce, just a little, nothing to complain about.
Service was probably 4+. The wait staff though all pretty young, were sharp and personable.
I loved the atmosphere and they had a sandbox for the kids to play in. Interesting choice for a restaurant for kids to get dirty and then eat but the grandson didn't care! Haha.
Overall, we'll definitely eat here again
Decided to stop here for lunch after driving in from Corpus Christi.
I got the cheese Willie burger, husband got the brisket baked potato. We started with chips, queso and salsa. Everything was very bland. The queso was your basic yellow liquid cheese product from a can with a few tomato chunks in it. Salsa was just blah.
My burger was cooked well, but again, hardly any flavor. My husband's potato was like pot roast style meat instead of brisket. Maybe we just ordered the wrong stuff? Idk.
The restaurant itself was very clean and inviting. Staff was polite and attentive. Guy who took our order at the front counter, was super cheerful. So much seating inside and out and very breezy, it was nice. Family friendly but a bar area too for adults so that's cool.
I'm not sure why all the rave reviews about the food bc ours was just not great. Overall, I give it a C+ but only bc of the food. Other than that, the vibe and cleanliness are ????.
Typical icehouse atmosphere. Great layout and bar area. We always enjoy Willie's. Hubs had the patty melt - he only complaint was, the use of texas toast made for a sandwich with a lot of bread! We are sure that there are others who would enjoy it. The mac and cheese was yummy and the onion rings never disappoint. I tried the fried chicken tacos for the first time and they were so big, I could not eat the second one. Hubs got iced tea and was disappointed. I have always known that they need to improve their iced tea and so I ordered lemonade. The iced tea they use is too bitter.
The sweetest little girl took our order this evening. She was very patient and very helpful. Our server was very sweet and took great care of us. I love willies but past experiences made me stop coming for awhile. We definitely will be coming back more often now that service is better.
It's was pretty aight. The waitress was really nice and enthusiastic and smiling, really attentive. The food was also food depending on what you like , the burgers taste good (if you put all the things on it ofc), mashed Potatoes were bomb, the vanilla ice cream (plain) was really delicious.
All kinds of good stuff with the little bit of a bar menu with some perks. Crab legs crawfish fried jalapenos are some of my favorites but they have the full menu.
All you got to do is grab a draft beer and you're good to go!
The burgers are pretty good but when I'm in there I usually get something a little bit different.
I do have to say I absolutely love the loaded baked potato and the batter on the onion rings are out of this world ????????????
Very fun atmosphere and the staff were great! We only had the chips and queso but even that was really good. Will for sure be back!
I recently dined at Willie’s and had an exceptional experience thanks to our server, Jacob. From the moment we were seated, Jacob was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations and ensured our drinks were always topped up. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Jacob’s professionalism and warm demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend asking for him if you visit Willie’s!
