    Our group at Willhoites, sitting at the front window.

    I hadn't been to Willhoites in years, and it hasn't changed a bit. Live band rockin' out. Good service by a waitress e ss or at the bar. We didn't eat anything, but they have a nice buffet, or you can order from the menu. Willjoites has been in Grapevine since 1914 when it was a day goods store. Later it became a theater, and then a gas station/garage. One of the gas pumps is still out front.

    Not a place that would normally interest me, but my friend chose it for our monthly meet up mainly because we wanted to walk around the area. We came in for an early lunch and to try their buffet. It's an older establishment with lots of wood accents. I think the bar is the main focus and they do allow smoking inside. The dining area is nearby so keep that in mind. The food was just ok. Salad bar was nice with quite a few options. There's a few hot entrees and sides that I think changes daily. They have banana pudding as well as a few other desserts and a soft serve machine. The price was cheap so that's an advantage. The wait staff was very welcoming and our waitress checked in on us often. Very friendly and personable. Overall, not bad but I don't see myself coming back.

    $15 AYCE buffet you can't beat it! Especially on a day during grapefest! Plus my littles eat free. Winning! Best deal on the block. Not the fanciest food but not bad all American faire. It's very Smokey with cigar and cigarette smokers at the bar next to the dining area. Live music is nice to have. If I wanted a whole nighttime experience with friends this is it. But would I come here for just the food prob not. I have heard the buffet breakfast is good. Will have to try next time. Service was top notch. Enjoy!

    This place has been here forever and he had been awhile since I'd eaten here. You walk into a bar like area that leads into restaurant seating area. We decided to try the lunch buffet and it didn't disappoint! Their salad bar area is everything to make an awesome salad. Their hot foods were so good. We had roast beef with gravy, pork chops, fried chicken with mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, green beans. They had jalapeño corn bread and it was very good. To top it off we had cherry cobbler ala mode! The people are very friendly and welcoming! I can't wait to come back to see what else they have on their buffet.

    Finally checked out the buffet, I was a little hesitant due to the smoking option, but I was pleasantly surprised to not smell any smoke for my first visit. Everyone was friendly, food was good, the ambiance had the old tavern rustic feel to it. I love buffets and was impressed on the selection of foods including chicken cordon Bleu, which was a first for me! The French toast sticks were a little hard but still quite delicious!

    Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet!

The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.

She's sharp,…read morequick-witted, and actually pays attention to what's going on around her--something that clearly isn't consistent across the rest of the floor. While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

It's…read moreactually a very fun experience, as long as you don't bring your significant other or care about food. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (5 Stars if you only care about service) Atmosphere - It's pretty electric. There is a large bar in the middle, tons of bar seating, and during my Thursday visit for lunch, it was packed. The vibes are good, and tons of TVs are showing sports. If you have an XY chromosome, this is your place. 1 Star. Service - Rowdy Cowboy is known for having great servers who are very friendly (and nice to look at). All tables were taken, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were fast, efficient, and very friendly. They got my order wrong, but I don't care. Their friendliness made me not care. 1 Star. Food - Look, if you're here, you're not here for the food. I started with the Steak Frites. The steak was super tender but lacked seasoning. The shoestring fries were awesome and made the perfect pairing to the steak. I ordered the Brisket Sliders but ended up with Wagyu Sliders. I didn't mind because our bartenders were so friendly, but the sliders were just ok. Remember, this place is not known for the food. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Rowdy Cowboy knows exactly what it does well, and believe me it does it well. In fact, out of all the restaurants in this genre, Rowdy Cowboy has the friendliest staff. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.

We love the decor and era theme with the MTV music video vibes. Like others have mentioned though, the service needs attention. We typically have issues with getting service on the patio, drinks are slow, we have to push for additional drinks, our food isn't severed timely, etc. Our most recent visit, I have to give our server credit, the pre-lunch salad was ordered incorrectly so it went back and by the time they re-made the salad, it came out after the main meal. My husband HATES that! We do not think twice to drive 45 minutes to get to Rock & Brew for the blackberry mojitos but to get bad service, that makes it difficult to justify. If you are headed to the bar to just have a few blackberry mojitos, I recommend this place all day. If you want service and plan to eat, I am not sure I would give it any stars with the last few visits. We have had great service here, just not in the last 3 visits.

They do let you know that there is an automatic 20% tip added to your tab up front, which you can add too if checking out using the link they text you. The special thing is they have a wall where you pick your own beer, cider and wine(?) that you activate with your wristband and are charged per ounce. I love the drink concept because it allows for folks to try a little bit of various options ... which they do have a number of local options on their wall. This is what I would return for, and bring friends to tet before we end up at another activity. Food wise: got a smash burger which came with fries, which if I order it again I'd probably change cheeses and ask for some pepper to season the fries a bit more ... all personal preferences... but was ok for something to eat to off set the two drinks I had while there. I also got some tacos to go for my husband. Again personal preference, he would have liked more seasoning/spice on the actual meat of the taco vs being as reliant on the salsa.
