    Expensive & weak drinks. No atmosphere to match the high end prices. $21 for 3 drinks! All ice & Coke.

Very admirable and apparently they do this often to support other causes, as well. We were happy to dine at a restaurant that cares about the local community. That's what got me (& my wife) in the door. Now, for the brass tacks: Atmosphere: Very nice looking place. Clean. Lively. Loved the front window open on a warm day and the outdoor seating as we walked in. Service: Hostess and Server were both very friendly, attentive and helpful. Both checked in on us, often. Which, for us, is super important not to feel forgotten. No problem here. Food: Uncorkd Burger (sub grilled chicken), Vegetable Risotto w/Salmon, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Homemade Vanilla Bread Pudding Cake & Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. My wife said, convincingly, that the Grilled Chicken Burger was good. (and that's saying something. (She's super picky about chicken sandwiches) My Vegetable Salmon Risotto was terrific. Fresh, bright, creamy, & flavorful. The salmon may have been cooked slightly over, but only slightly. Cheesesteak Egg Rolls were very good. Not made in-house. The desserts were delicious. Bread pudding with Caramel Drizzle! Oh my! Light & Delicious. Stick Toffee Pudding Cake with a decadent dark chocolate sauce. Delightful. We took those desserts to go and had them at home. Delicious. Terrific experience, tonight. I would go back in a heartbeat. Certainly would recommend. 4.2

Both dishes were excellent and made all the more flavorful by the good service and warm atmosphere.

    Had another great experience w/ a few setbacks. I miss the bread basket. The rolls are fine, but…read morethe former basket of varietals was special. Also, what happened to the Kona coffee rub ?? Was our absolute favorite & husband reported the steak was bland without it. On a positive, love they acquired a pastry chef. My to-go Coconut Cake was divine. The Ice Cream Affogato is brilliant in its simplicity! The Sautéed Mushrooms incredible! How much can you do w/ a mushroom ?? Ask the chef! Also, think they have the best Mac n Cheese (tho I do miss the fresh herb component). Still a favorite, but hoping some of the former glory is restored on my next visit!

    Willoughby's absolutely never misses. I can't think of anything I've had that didn't wow me, and…read morethe service is impeccable. Even the complementary bread and butter is high quality--a bit torturous, in fact, since you don't want to spoil your appetite for the what's coming. Go big and get the Delmonico ribeye. Perfection. The oysters with the perfectly vinegary migonette sauce is a great starter, as is the butcher's bacon. Also, pro tip, you can get the salads in half sizes and you wouldn't go wrong with any of them. The caesar is my favorite, but recently had an outstanding wedge as well, with plenty of bleu cheese.

They didn't make it a little bit more accessible to the bar area because it was just us and one other couple in this huge big room that was beautiful. I feel like it could be better utilized if they opened up a wall or something give people a place to go When that bar area gets so full like it was, they make their own rum, and I got a rum punch, which was absolutely delicious very false spiced tasting. We ordered the margarita flatbread, which would've been better if it had basil on it, which is what a margarita is supposed to have, but it was actually absolutely delicious with the heirloom tomatoes and thick chunks of bacon. I would definitely get it again.

    My coworkers and I had an early dinner here. We first started off with drinks. My skinny margarita…read morewas fantastic! We then decided to order a bunch of appetizers before our entrees. My favorite appetizer I think was the deviled eggs with crab! It's creative and was pretty good. The different chicken wings were good. The calamari was crispy and perfectly seasoned. I ordered medium rare steak fries with upgraded truffle fries. When the dish came out it came with a slab of butter on top of the steak. The truffle fries didn't taste like any truffle oil was infused into them (or maybe they forgot I'm not sure). The steak was a little overcooked and just bland. No seasoning on the steak at all..very disappointed. I think the food was mediocre. Again maybe other entrees would be better and I think the food overall is just okay

Everyone is always so welcoming and the restaurant is always packed. I recommend a reservation as this restaurant gets busy. Overall you will absolutely have a great visit.

    Passing through town, we stopped for an early dinner. At 4:30 we expected the restaurant to be…read moreempty .... but NOOOOO. The place was jumping. We were happy they could seat us. My husband and I assessed Austin's differently. He ordered prime rib which he said was nothing short of perfect. Cooked medium rare as requested, tender, juicy -- he savored every bite. I scanned the menu. Nothing jumped out at me. (I generally don't gravitate to steakhouse-type restaurants.) I ordered a half rack of baby back ribs. My point of comparison is Longhorn's which offers more of a bang-for-a-buck, and in my opinion better tasting ribs. Not to say that Austin's aren't good. They are. Based on the popularity of Austin's, it's clear management knows what they're doing. But I think a small salad and baked potato should be available with the price of the entree -- not worth the extra $7 I was going to be charged. The salad is listed as 'field greens,' -- which it's not -- but reading the menu you'll see they mean iceberg and romaine. The salad was good, enhanced by their garlic ranch dressing. We washed down our meals with well-priced drinks: merlot ($8.90) and Blue Moon ($6.90), then splurged on dessert. Austin's flourless double chocolate brownie a la mode is very rich. One order for two adults is plenty. Austin's is aptly described as a family restaurant. A lot of kids. A lot of noise. Service is friendly and on-the-ball. While not my kind of restaurant, if prime rib is your thing -- this could be the place!
