I got the Thursday special, the steak. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The steak was cooked perfectly to my liking!! For an extra fee, I got cheesy hash browns which I enjoyed just as much. Ordered 2 alcoholic drinks, which were amazing aswell. They offer some games for all ages. A very rustic, Ole timey style inside. My only quam with the place is the closing time is at 10:00 pm. They served breakfast only on the weekends aswell.

Crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and full of flavor. We were visiting my sister in the area, and this quickly became our favorite spot. If you're anywhere nearby, definitely stop in -- you'll be glad you did!

They seated us together, even though it was their lunch rush, and the staff took care of every detail for our large group. Service was excellent; servers were always nearby checking on beverages, food, and anything else we needed, without ever feeling intrusive. Everyone at the table commented on how good the food was - great flavors, generous portions, and well‑made drinks. We've always loved Willy's On the Water, but this experience really confirmed that they're a fantastic choice for larger parties as well. The manager, Gavin, and his staff--from hostesses to servers--were amazing and incredibly helpful throughout the event. I would highly recommend Willy's On the Water for both everyday dining and special occasions.

The food was incredible, the space was perfect, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. One of the best features is that you can open the doors to a private outdoor patio area, which gave our guests even more room to gather and enjoy the day. Planning a party can be stressful, but the team at Tipsy Steer made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food and venue. Thank you to everyone at Tipsy Steer for helping make such a special day even more memorable!

You sit at a table and order off your phone, and servers will bring your food and drinks out to you. Had no problem with that, it was a fairly easy process. Our servers were kind and I believe we talked to the owner for a bit who was attentive to all the tables! The food is the disappointing piece. I had the chicken rojo avocado tacos and they really lacked flavor. There was plenty of chicken in such a small tortilla, which made the taco fall apart as you ate. My sister ordered the pesto Mac and cheese with chicken and it was okay, but the chicken was not good. I didn't try the tenderloin bowl, but it seemed to have better reviews than my meal or my sisters from my family. I don't make my way out to Blaine often enough to try again, but I think this would be a better spot for pizzas and milkshakes.

Although it's a bit of a hike outside the city, still not too bad on a weekday and it was nice to get out and try something new! It seems like an up and coming area for Monticello and development nearby. We came right at 5 when the restaurant opens and got a seat in the high tops. NOTE! If you want to partake in the happy hour, you have to either sit at the bar or in the high top tables. We didn't know this and wanted their chicken wings on the happy hour menu so ended up switching tables. In addition to the wings, my husband ordered the corn bread app which was pretty good too! Wasn't a huge fan of the spicy butter it came with, but strange but the bread itself was good. The wings had a good seasoning and the house made ranch was really tasty! Surprised there were only wings and no drumsticks which I prefer and the wings themselves didn't have a whole ton of meat on them so I'd give it 3/5 on the apps I ordered the 12oz New York strip and at market price it was $62, came with broccolini and French fries. My husband got the turkey burger which he wasn't a huge fan of he said but he enjoyed the fries. My New York strip wasn't seasoned well - if at all to be honest but thankfully they had some leftover A1 from Mother's Day brunch where the bartender made some bloody Mary's so that helped. Can't say the food was a knockout but the service was really good. The bartender who was our server was conversational, great dude, and offered great suggestions. Host and folks were also really accommodating when we hopped around the restaurant so we could participate in the HH. All in all, great experience and nice place to try!

When you do get sat, the service is fast-- your coffee is always filled and hot! The food comes out fairly quickly and is always hot and delicious. It actually can get pretty loud in there. It is a very old building with an open floor plan, so when a lot of people get in there then start talking it can get to a medium roar, but nothing too loud. It's not like you have to shout at the person across the table so they can hear you.
