First time here. Place is full of a great vibe, make a reservation, and ambiance is fun. Do No Go Hungry. Wait time for food is hour and 30 - 2 hours. Kitchen is often "behind" but nothing to compensate for it aside from the "free buffet" which was shocking. But after top dollar reservations and a group 8-10, of course something is expected and my group and I were open to spending whatever it took to have a great time. Food was good after waiting for sooo long. We were so hungry, I didn't get a chance to take a photo of everything order. Lobster and shrimp are fresh. Which was a huge surprise. Lamb chops are good, small portions. DJ was good. Waitresses attitudes were decent. They're comfortably naked. Some ingredients may be out but you'll find something else to accommodate on the menu. Operational standpoints needs a closer look. Restrooms need tissue properly placed on rolls and not on top of compartments- same for paper towels and no hand soap. Drink ingredients were slighted / out. read more

Don't waste your time! I really wanted to give Willie B's a five star rating but unfortunately, they were closed when I arrived at 7:35pm for dinner. One of the staff was walking out and locking the doors as we got out of the Uber. The woman told us they close at 7pm on Sundays but the front door says 11pm and the Yelp page says 10pm. As we were leaving another couple walked up looking for dinner. They said someone told them it closed at 10pm. Needless to say, I'd never go back here again! read more

I didn't know what to make of Willie B's at first with the DJ blasting music on 10, butt cheeks hanging out from the waitresses, stripper pole tucked in the back somewhere, and on a Sunday afternoon! Oh it was as live in there as well as the customers. I assume this is the energy at Willie B's all the time which can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for. The food was average at best. I had a decent patty melt with roasted potatoes. Food was a little pricey, but service was fine. So Willie B's is an establishment mostly for a younger generation or someone looking for a club type atmosphere at a restaurant. I sure I would have loved to come here in my twenties, but at my age now I would have to pass. read more

Willie B's is LIT! Everyone was dancing and singing the lyrics to every song. My husband and I arrived there after 11PM and it was a straight party. The DJ was bumping all the trap hits lol! The hostess and our waitress were very nice. The food was really delicious. My husband had the jerk shrimp and fries. He loved it. I got the catfish sliders and fries which actually came out as one large catfish sandwich. That sandwich was soooo good. The truffle fries were really delicious! I got two of the frozen orange drinks. They had me feeling goodt. They had a few parks in front of the building and I should have known that something was up. We pulled into the spot and the doorman was like this spot cost $40. Luckily, we were able to find street parking not too far. read more

I enjoyed my time at Willie B's to the fact that I actually went back twice upon my trip. One day I went a little bit early during the happy hour time frame and it was super empty and they were actually taping a show so it wasn't too crazy. Since I was there pretty early I stayed a bit late just to see how the crowd changes and how busy it got. The music on both nights were really good ,drinks are really good ,food was really good as well . Service was good each night I requested the same person Ayana she was honestly phenomenal. The Bites I enjoyed it one night was lamb chop surf and turf with a lobster tail. The next day I went it was a Sunday so it was the brunch so I enjoyed the fried lobster which was phenomenal as well. I did like that this restaurant does also offer hookah which is a plus to me. Parking is Super limited so I would recommend if parking to get there early or to Uber. I'll be sure to return I've definitely enjoyed it each time. read more

I really enjoyed my visit at Willie B's. We came in for Saturday brunch. Everyone was friendly. We were greeted and seated right away. It wasn't very much of a crowd surprisingly for a Saturday but that didn't bother us at all. The food was pretty good and the dj was jamming. The guys I was with were grateful for all of the flat screens so they can stay tuned in to the game. It's nothing too fancy moreso laidback and chill but they have huge booths that would be nice to accommodate large parties. The four of us had plenty of space.. The lemon drops were some of the best I ever had. I would definitely like another one of those if I'm ever in the area again. read more

I came here numerous times while in Nashville. It is a spot where you can eat, lounge, do hookah, drink and listen to music any time of day! Came for the owner's birthday celebration. Friday there was a concert at night, Saturday I lounged and Sunday I brunched all at this one place! It's a great addition to Nashville for those looking for diversity and flavor (wink wink). Good for celebrations and any age group that likes vibes. The music was popping! I've been to Nashville on 2 occasions and this is by far some of the best DJs I've heard. RnB, rap and even a slap of gospel. Food & Drink: Shrimp and grits were so yummy and creamy! It was a different type of grits then I'm used to, but I loved it. Voodoo pasta definitely was fire!! The 190 octane daiquiri was my favorite! read more

Each time I visit I have so much fun! The staff is great food is amazing, LOVE this place !!!

I was excited about this place and it's definitely a vibe but the food was beyond salty. I could barely enjoy it! The next day my hands and ankles were swollen from so much sodium. As a place that's in a predominant black area and serves our community, hypertension is more prevalent among Africans Americans than any other race. I know it's just food but high sodium intake contributes to hypertension which is a precursor to heart disease and strokes which we also suffer more than any other ethnicity. I'll love to see this place dial it back on the salt but still produce delicious flavorful food. I'll get off my soapbox now and will give this place another try as the mimosas and music was great! read more

Came here with friends (on a Friday) to gather and celebrate a birthday. We made reservations and was seated when we arrived. It has a lounge setup, music playing, and bar area. I ordered The Catch of the Day (Catfish) with a side of Fried Okra. It was delicious! The pieces (2) of fish were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The Fried Okra was battered evenly and fried crispy. Everyone else at the table had an array of items that included wings, fries, and fries. We also included drinks and hookah. The owner was nice and staff pleasurable. They do have a time limit on the booth you're at so be prepared for that when you arrive. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in Nashville again! read more

Willie B's is a must when you're in Nashville. My friends and I went for brunch and had a great time. The DJ/music made the atmosphere so fun and the drinks were the perfect combination of alcohol and flavor. The food was also delicious but be prepared to fill stuffed or ready for a nap after you eat, you won't leave hungry. I do think they could improve on wait times for food/drinks, and they were out of some of the items on the menu but Sunday may have just been one of their busier days. Some cosmetic updates to the inside would also be nice but overall I definitely recommend checking them out. read more

First, this place is not practicing social distancing, so if you're concerned about that, stay clear. It was packed when we went. We came here with a group while visiting my boyfriend's sister. I am not a hookah fan, and so after a while the smoke was just too much. They also allow cigars which is equally bad. I had to step outside and breathe for a while, which I felt bad because we were there for his sister, but the smoke was overpowering. I heard the food was good. We did order a chicken fettuccine type pasta, and the chicken was good! I did order two breasts, but they only came out with one. It's kind of pricey for what we got, but it was decent. We came on a Saturday night, and it's definitely a hot spot in the area. It was great for people watching too. Lots of interesting attire...felt like I was at the club. Anything goes! They have security at the front, so get ready to have your purses checked, and your men patted down. It's definitely not our scene, and the food wasn't that good to bring me back, but if you like crowds and hookahs, I can see where you might enjoy coming here. read more

Thrilled I had the opportunity to visit this newly opened, beautiful black-owned restaurant during my stay in Nashville. Went on a Sunday for brunch. The lively environment, following COVID-restrictions provided excellent service and food! There were about 8 in my party, which wasn't a problem because the booths seat at least 10 haha. Basically everyone ordered something different (all of which I tasted, just couldn't get enough, even when full!) The crab cakes were so good, after I ordered, two others ordered them as well. The gumbo was cool, there's literally one shrimp. The lamb was delicious, different than I usually make it. The shrimp and grits was just perfect. Was just enough seasoning and shrimp to make a complete meal. I had the whole wings and wasn't too excited about it, but they were also sauces, so I wouldn't get that again. The dry wings were cool. One friend had chicken/shrimp pasta and the other literally added ALL of the meats in it (chicken, shrimp, lobster, whatever else) and they were both thrilled. I and a couple of others felt as though all the sides were overly salted, so I'll be more choosy in the future. (Sides: fried okra, spinach, collards) Venue serves frozen drinks that will get you were you need to go, minus the car, after 2. Enough of this review, go check it out for yourself! read more

This lounge was really cute. I went for Sunday brunch and the DJ was vibing. The staff was very nice and helpful and we were able to sit right away. The food was sooooo good! The lamb chops were TOP TIER. The Nola chicken was good as well. Even the grits were good and it's hard finding good grits. We will definitely be back. read more

My friend and I came here for a girls night out and this place was perfect! We had a reservation and we were seated promptly. Everyone was wearing a mask, they take your temperature at the door and offer hand sanitizer before seating. We started with the Frog Legs and Buffalo Shrimp. The Buffalo shrimp was tasty, but the Frog Legs were bland and needed more seasoning. The portion was good for the price though. The atmosphere here is so lively, the music selection was on point, the tables were spaced out so although it felt full everyone had space. Next, we had the Shrimp & Grits and the St. Chartres Chops with sautéed spinach, and red beans & rice. The entrees were DELICIOUS! Omg, I loved the shrimp and grits and the lamb chops. I mean they were both full of flavor. The red beans and rice was good too. The spinach was bland and could use more seasoning, but overall everything was tasteful. I can't remember our servers name, but she was super friendly and made some great recommendations. I plan to come back and try their brunch because if it's anything like the dinner we'll be regulars soon. Lol read more

Willie B's Kitchen & Lounge - Lamb chops with double spinach. - Lounges Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We will start with not the best start with our reservation being for 11am and it was clear they were just arriving at the establishment setting up. Drinks being served, but out of juices for drinks listed. The floor was sticky and the music is too loud for that early in the day. I love a good brunch with dope music, but let's remember it's still a restaurant and we are here to eat and chat. The temperature, oh my god. Whyyy so cold? I can't feel my fingers. Flatware, not silverware yet we order lamb chops. They provided the most inadequate silverware possible. Our food definitely had good flavors. As mentioned, we ordered the lamb chops, but we also ordered the red velvet waffle with chicken. Again , the food was good. The drinks were just okay and toxic is not good. I now have a different expectation, but would return. read more

We had the best time! My friend was in town from Memphis and I wanted her to experience good music and food that would be similar to home with the highest level of class. Willie B's did not disappoint. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Great DJ. Even with a nice crowd the server was very attentive and quick. She made sure we had drinks in hand and hot food. The catfish tasted home cooked and was fried to perfection without even having to ask for extra crispy. My friends enjoyed the wings. The seasoned wings were well seasoned and Buffalo had the perfect amount of heat. We got great pictures and vowed to be back very soon. read more

I came here briefly for drinks while I'm the area. I loved that they had frozen drinks which were strong but on the pricier side. It turns into a club setting at night. Not a great place to go if you want to have a conversation since the music is blaring. read more

The visit would've been rated higher without the food issue. This place is a good vibe. They front is very much set up like a lounge with a DJ. Thy have a private room in the back which was super cute. We had reservations for a Large table. We were seated in the back area with other large parties. Our waitress was super attentive and helpful. We ordered our food and drinks from the menu. Our drinks came out and as we waited on our food we kept ordering drinks. After waiting over an hour for our food to come out & only 1 person's food actually coming out (the place was packed so we were giving them the benefit of the doubt) we asked for a manager to see what was going on. The waitress promptly went to go get the manager as she understood our concern. The kitchen manager wanted to argue with us about timing of us getting our food, blaming our waitress, etc. He couldn't explain how the most complicated item the lamb chops came out before any of out other meals such as: cajun pasta, fried shimp, shimp & grits etc. He was really rude and obnoxious. We asked for a second manager and the front of the house manager came to speak to us. He listened attentively to our concerns and said he would go work on the food concerns. After a short while our food started to come out. I would've given them a lower score but the front of the house manager did a great job in fixing our issues. The food was actually good. The cajun pasta was really good and flavorful. The person who ordered the lamb chops truly enjoyed their meal. I enjoyed the shrimp in my shrimp & grits (I didn't like the grits because it wasn't the version I was used to). The waitress was amazing and was attentive to use even though she was managing all the tables in our area. I think the majority of our group like the food. We definitely liked the drinks. I would recommend just going for drinks/Hookah and the music vs food. Outside of the food debacle, we had a great time. Not sure if he, the kitchen manager is still there but he needs to learn how to de-escalate issues involving the kitchen vs making it worst & blame everything under the sun and not taking responsibility. If he had handled the situation differently, the score would've been so much better. read more

The food is a 3.5 stars. The service is negative 8000000. And listen, if I ever have a less-than-4-stars review for a Black owned establishment, I just don't leave a review. I can't be hating on kinfolk like that. But Willie B's hit a new level of low that I must speak about. I should have checked the reviews before coming here because listen... do not come here if you're actually hungry. You should eat, then come here and immediately order and by the time your food comes out you'll probably be hungry again. First, I had thought my phone was plugged in all night but it wasn't, so I get here and am excited to see little charging boxes for $5 an hour. None of the waitresses know how to use the machine, and one says she'll look for an actual charger for me. About 20 minutes later I ask her again and she said she was still looking and I could see the lie in her eyes bruh. I could tell she had forgotten completely about it. I go back to the charger area and get the managers help (turns out you HAVE TO download the app to use the machine). We order our drinks at 1:20PM, we haven't eaten all day, we drove through a wind storm and rain to get there, but we're finally inside happy and vibing to the live DJ music. We get our drinks pretty quickly. They can't make a mojito I'm told, I get a tequila pineapple instead. Small ugly plastic cups. Odd, but we keep it pushing. We order waters, waitress says all they have is bottled water. She brings out Fiji bottles. We're like, ehh we'll possibly have to pay for these bottles but hopefully not since it's all that's offered. We order food at around 1:30PM. Then the waiting begins. We wait and we sing to music. We wait and we hype up other diners who are in there dancing. We wait and the conversation begins to lull from hanger. The waitress finally brings out plastic utensils. I'm caught way off guard. Plastic? Finally, at around 2:15PM the first meal (singular, out of a group of 10 girls) comes out -- the steak and eggs. We tell our friend to go ahead and eat thinking our food will come out soon. The next round of food (like 3 girls ordered shrimp / catfish and grits) comes out at about 2:30PM. The rest of us get excited thinking maybe it's all here. Nope. We wait some more. Now the rest of us are getting visibly hangry. Nobody is dancing at the table. Everybody is ready to cuss out somebody at that establishment. The other girls have all finished their meals and the plates have been taken away while others are yet to receive food. I suggest telling our waitress to scrap the rest of the food orders and my friends and I going to Waffle House. Finally FINALLY, the rest of our food comes out at around 3PM -- the waffles with eggs and bacon and potatoes. How the waffles took an hour longer than the steaks and catfish dishes is beyond me. The food was honestly redeeming. The catfish grits and the waffles were great. Unique flavors. The eggs were meh, the potatoes were good dipped in hot sauce (the hot sauce was what was really good) and the bacon was normal. The red velvet waffle was actually so bad lmfao it tasted like an oil crunch and my friend who ordered it said it wasn't cooked all the way through in the middle. We had that and the $5 Fiji water (so for 10 girls, $50 in just water smh) taken off the bill. It's a shame, if done with regular restaurant utensils and QUALITY / speedy service this place may have gotten 4 stars, definitely at least 3, out of me. But I've never had a worse restaurant experience in my life. Like bad food is one thing, but NO food for HOURS is crazy. read more

Heard this place had a good brunch. The vibe was nice, DJ was great. Staff were cordial. My group of 6 arrived & was seated by 12:30. At 1:30 the waitress brought out 3 order. 15 min later my side of eggs & bacon came out without the entree. At 2:00 the last two orders came out incorrect. Needless to say I canceled the order since my group was done eating & our sides we completely cold. Very disappointed. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and it was very crowded but we made reservations, so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. It took us 40 minutes to get a waiter after being seated. There was a large party that was being tended to, so we tried to be understanding. Shoutout to our waitress Alicia for stepping up, apologizing and ensuring that we were compensated for our wait. It was much appreciated because we were ready to walk out of the door. There was definitely a lack of organization and after speaking with another patron that visits more often, this is not usual for them. Throughout the night servers came to our table multiple times with food and drinks that were not ours; which was pretty annoying. We tried the lobster Mac and cheese and the bomb shrimp. Both dishes were decent but nothing to call home about and in my opinion a bit overpriced. read more

A vibe in Nashville! Good for groups. Plays good music and has hookah. The night I went they were only cooking some items on the menu, but this was made up by the drink specials on happy hour.

This is longer than my usual post but rock with it... its funny and accurate AF. The music and slight tingle in my daiquiri saved this review. Came on a TUESDAY night just before 10. Been in Nashville for a short getaway. Ive been up and down broadway, Assembly Place Food Hall, down to The Graduate, and a few others. Ive been drinking my way through Nashville. We chose Willie B's because its blackity black and I always try to support black establishments and lets be honest, the reviews were glowing. I was excited for this end of Nashville nightcap with my people. But, Damn! My people. (Insert favorite dramatic gif) Ok, lets start with the decent. The parking is trash. Like utter trash, but its a cute little neighborhood, obviously mostly black and I LOVE to see it. Also shameless plug, Willie B's is directly across from Slim and Huskys Pizza. My.Favorite.Personal.Pizza.Spot. I digress. Im pretty sure Im illegally parked in a back lot but its like 1.5hrs left until close (yes, im so annoyed that I'm writing this review from the bar). I digress again. We get inside and stood at the hostess stand for nearly 4mins while TWO hostess played on their phones. Lile...watched someone scroll TT. Like breh, acknowledge me. 4mins isnt a long time and I could have gotten her attention but when you are in a welcoming/service role... read the room. Gaaahhhh. Anyway we were seated quickly (again 1.5hrs until close on a Tuesday). We sat at the bar but were offered to sit in a booth with another group (ummm no thank you. COVID is still real and WE (ie black people) AREN'T VACCINATING LIKE WE SHOULD [steps off soapbox]). Scanned QR code for the menu. Super excited. It looks decent. Drinks: my partner asked for a old fashioned. Sorry we dont have the ingredients (was it the bourbon, sugar, bitters, water, ICE, luxardo maraschino cherries or orange because I was looking at all the ingredients from my seat). Ok fine. Can I get a manhatten... sure. Thanks for the sweet vermouth with a side of bourbon. I wont knock a strong drink but damn...this is a signature cocktail or liquor mixer type of spot. Drinks that require a minuscule level of skills dont compute. I order a signature daiquiri off their menu... sorry we dont have that either. Ok how about x,y,z yeah we dont have that either the menu is outdated. (Me in my head because im not actually rude..." youbmean the menu you tell me to reference for tonight's menu items.") After much dissapointment...let me get the blue daiquiri. SUCCESS!! Food: I wouldnt know the kitchen closed between 10:45 and 11 while negotiating available drink options with the bartending staff. Cigar: Asked for a cigar. Waited. Waited. Waited followed up, oh you have to go to the hostess stand. Before getting up, do you have a cutter, ash tray, and light. (Looks to the man sitting next to me, "I'm sure he'll share". Goes to hostess stand. Out of everything I liked. Hookah: Never was offered or suggested Music: it was great. The band then DJ created a vibe. Cleanliness. We came close to close and they were santizing EVERYTHING. I appreciate the faint smell of bleach on a Tuesday. Overall: probably never coming back. Cant fathom coming when they were actually busy. Will not recommend. Im heading back to Broad Street to laugh at drunk yt people and coeds. read more

This place is SUCH a vibe! Our waitress was so nice and attentive, which I really appreciated especially considering how busy they were! At first we sat outside until we realized that the inside was a whole vibe! (Although both inside and outside have a nice aura) I'm not sure if I was being greedy or if I was just really hungry this night, but I low key wish the portions of the food was a little bigger honestly. But I had the chicken and waffles and my friend had the Voodoo pasta and my food was really good, although my friend didn't like the giant onions in the pasta but she said the actual taste of the pasta was delicious. The only downfall was we were legit mid smoking the hookah and the guy said he had to take it without any explanation to why. So I'm not sure if they have a time limit on the hookah or something, but we legit started smoking after we finished eating and shortly after is when he took it, so that sucked. And the only other thing is good luck finding a parking spot! But overall I would definitely come back here to support, but I will be sure to make a reservation in advance next time. read more

It's the unprofessional service for me. This was my first time here, it will be my last. First took forever for drinks and food. Then they handed us a menu after we order they said oh the menu is wrong. Dawna the manger was less than 50 feet from us, literally i turn around she is right there. She said it was issues and she didn't even come and help us! That is very unprofessional!!! Orders were soooooo late. Two people order at the same time and took 49 mins for her order all she got was chicken and waffles, the other part of the order was out early. The second group of us ordered and my order was wrong because the menu was wrong then why are you handing out the menu. The second part of the order she claimed it was three orders of head but one order had already came out! The manager should of came and addressed the issues her ass couldn't bothered to move from her station to do that. Then had nerve to add their own tip!! We ordered a berry hookah that was suppose to have ciroc of infused. Def was not hitting at all. Update: the manager removed 8.25 from my ticket still think service should of been better. So i made it 3 stars instead of 2. Supposedly the waitress didn't tell her about our issues. read more

When I walked in there were 2 rows of bouncers at the door. Get in the woman's bathroom was flooded like both stalls , water on the floor. Directed us to use men's bathroom which turned into a gender neutral bathroom. The one nice thing is they have huge mirrors in the back which are very selfie worthy . After forcing through the money on the fl found a seat at the bar and there was a toenail on the bar and the bartender had a nasty attitude and refused to serve people.

Maybe on a good day but not on the holiday they will take your money and not be up front about they're food.

The vibe is EVERYTHING. Dj was good...everybody in the place was there for a good time Plenty of space you don't feel like you're sitting on top of each other. Hostess super nice Waitress, she tried and did the best she could with what she had. The food...now the food was good...not omg good but good. I'd go back for the vibe before I went back for the food or drinks. Our reservation was for 1245p. We were seated...reviewed.the menu ordered Drinks and then ordered our food I didn't get my food until 212p. One of the drinks we ordered never even came. They brought the food out 1 or 2 plates at a time. Something that a few of us ordered they had ran out of (dirty rice). The food that they brought out was hot but my playe was last like she was supposed to go back and get it but got busy with another table and then remembered. My food was warm not hot and my order was wrong. I didn't complain because it was my birthday and I just wanted to enjoy my brunch but I did ask for new bacon because it was cold and Limp and I couldn't do that. They are kind of pricey. 1 Drink and chicken and waffles with party wings not whole wings...$48. 1 shot of dusse $17. The party and music and vibe so much fun...easy a snack before you go They advertise brunch til 4 so how do yall run out and we order by 115p. read more

Hmm I'm gone always find a black business to support and make sure I leave the most accurate review. We were in town celebrating my sisters bday, so we made reservations in advance. Our reservation was about 12:30, place was empty when we came in. Music blasting, good vibes and good drinks. The food, we weren't too happy about. The chicken was so bland, ordered grits that appeared to be more like cheese, chile I can't even explain but those were sent back. Our waitress was a doll. She was attentive and kind and really tried to meet our needs. Not sure I would visit again. read more

Soooo it breaks my heart to write this review but here it goes. The food was on point. Seasoned to perfection however, it took forever for our food to come. We brought 6 of our friends with us as this is our second visit. This visit was totally unacceptable.. we arrived at noon, food came out at 1, they were out of pork chops, which is fine but why did it take an hour for our waitress to tell us that. In her defense, it was her second day on the job and she should have been shadowing instead of working a table of 8. read more

It's official: we have a new brunch spot in Nashville!! Willie B's hit ALL the marks with 5-stars: excellent food, excellent food, excellent food, great service, awesome ambience, and much-appreciated public health safety measures...and did I mention the excellent food?!. We were one of the first ones in the restaurant for brunch at 11am when they opened. We were immediately greeted by the friendly hostess and seated at a table near the front. I loved the trendy decor - green vines, sliver and white Christmas/holiday snowflakes and trees, white lighting, and pseudo-industrial chair and accents - very chic and "up my ally." The music played in the background by a lady DJ was just my speed - a mix that started out more laid back with old school R&B, soulful Christmas tunes, and transitioned to more upbeat r&b and hip hop as the morning turned to afternoon. Our server, Brent, came right away with waters and introduced himself. He "quarterbacked" an exceptional brunch experience. Thank you, Brent! Service can make or break a place, and Brent made it wonderful!!! The menu, while not as extensive as some brunch places, clearly focused on quality and not quantity. And boy did they hit the mark on quality - everything sounded amazing!! The dishes were creole in theme, which is known for flavorful perfection. I opted for the shrimp and grits with a side of sautéed spinach and scrambled eggs. Hubby, upon recommendation from Brent, decided on grilled lamb chops with sautéed spinach and skillet potatoes. The food came out very quickly and the presentation a work of art. Made us want to skip grace, the pics, and dig right in (lol, but we didn't). You know the food is amazing when you automatically say "Oh wow" after the first bite. We sounded like a broken record because each dish elicited the "Oh wow" reaction. Our taste buds danced a jig the entire meal!!!! The stone ground grits were the perfect consistency and topped with the Parmesan cream sauce made them a creamy heaven. The grilled shrimp that topped the grits were deliciously creole-seasoned and grilled. First time I ever finished my entire bowl of shrimp and grits! The hubby's cooked to order lamb chops, done medium and seared on the outside, were seasoned and cooked to perfection. When I say he cleaned those chops of any remnant of meat, there was not a trace of lamb left on those bones! It makes me happy when I know his belly is happy ;) The spinach had just the right about of butter, garlic and seasoning, eggs scrambled just right, and the skillet potatoes wonderfully seasoned with a subtle, spicy kick (didn't even use ketchup!!!). We hadn't gotten half way through the meal and we were already planning our next visit, thinking of who we were going to tell in the area, and which out of town guests (when we have them again, ha!) we were going to bring. I happened upon this gem on one of my nighttime IG scroll sessions and I couldn't be more excited about this find!! We will absolutely be back to try out the other menu items and maybe even one of their evening lounge events (for us, the pandemic needs to simmer way way down before you see me and The Mr back on that scene). To the owner and staff of Willie B's: keep up the FANTASTIC work and we look forward to being your Clarksville regulars! You make us proud. read more

See all

Finally!!!!!! A black owned business that exercises "customer service." I truly enjoyed visiting this great kept secret in Nashville! I met a girlfriend for lunch around 3:30 on a Saturday. The vibe was dope, the music was perfect (they have a live DJ after 4:00 pm every day). The food oh my goodness! I had the wing platter with small whole wings and seasoned steak fries! I drink vodka and they gave a descent pour. The prices is not bad at all. The restaurant practices social distancing and the entire staff wore masks! Our first waitress was amazing. She served us well before her shift ended and unfortunately I can't remember her name. Jessica (our second waitress) took over and she was so personable, fun, and had good energy. The restaurant is designed so uniquely and they have a private VIP room for events and another large closed end section to smoke cigars. Hookahs are available also! I can't stop bragging about this place! I will surely be back and tell others about my experience. read more

Willie B's Kitchen & Lounge - Wing Basket with steak fries. Hot/sweet dipping sauce on the side - Lounges Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I want to start this out by saying my food (Chicken and Waffles) tasted great. Well seasoned and good sauces. The drinks were good too. I was sufficiently lit. My issue is the service. Do not come here if you don't plan on staying less than 3 hours. Not because you're having a great time but because of the wait times. We got there, ordered our drinks and food pretty quickly but why did it take about an hour for the majority of our group to get our food? Idk if the kitchen was down two chefs or what but wow. The waitresses were all very nice and apologetic but when I looked at previous Yelp reviews it seems the service seems to be a major issue and they haven't changed a thing. The table we went to wasn't even fully cleaned. There was old lettuce (or something resembling it) on it and everything felt sticky. The place wasn't even that packed that they could've skimped on the cleaning so what's the issue? Also if you plan on coming here for good conversation, go somewhere else. The ambiance is more turn up which is great but it got to the point the music was so loud we had to scream at each other across the table or text our group chat to even communicate. The music and the DJ were great but the volume was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. I still got tinnitus after leaving the place. Overall, Willie AB's has well seasoned food with a good DJ and good looking waitresses but everything positive stops there. I wanted to give my support of an apparent institution in Nashville but y'all need to free yourselves from your loyalty to this place unless they change it up. read more
