    Fried shrimp.  $20.
    Gwen A.

    After my last poor review for Willie's they reached out to me and invited me to give them another try; which I did tonight. My experience today was a lot better. I did a momma/daughter outing and we got the crawfish, shrimp, and crab boil. We enjoyed the crab and shrimp, but learned that we don't care for crawfish very much. We finished our meal with the bread pudding. It was so good, and I WILL return just for the dessert. The manager (Caleb) came to check on us and our waitress was appropriately attentive. Afterwards, we went shopping and then we returned to Willie's to get take out for my husband. He enjoyed his icehouse burger and loaded fries. I agree that it was delicious. We, also, tried the brisket Mac 'n cheese bites. This was not our favorite, but the dipping sauce was yummy. I am Glad we came back, and will continue to return and try other things on the menu.

    Caesar Salad with picked out cheese and grilled chicken

    Picked up curbside for my family tonight. My daughter selected no cheese and fried chicken on her salad. It came out the opposite, grilled chicken with cheese, so she spent 15 min picking the cheese out.

    Chicken Country Fried Chicken

    I've been Willie as few times. Each time I ask myself why I'm back here. This was final trip. Ordered the chicken fried chicken with some onion rings. Wife also got the chicken. It was so thin and dry if it weren't for gravy, I don't think I could've choked it down. I mean come on, I've had chicken cutlet sammiches that were thicker. The food is always meh at best. I won't give them another chance to let me down.

    I've been here several times but it seems to have improved in quality. I enjoyed my meal, and left with way too much food to go. Really underestimated the size of that sampler. The catfish is pretty good but I could probably skip the shrimp... The service is always good and the restaurant is clean. Not a bad place to spend an evening with friends and have a couple drinks!

    Fried fish + fries

    Such a solid lunch spot. The patio was open today and was so nice. Fried fish is my go-to!

    Icehouse Chicken Cobb - sub Gorgonzola to cheddar and chipotle dressing to ranch  Paired with a strawberry marg!
    Chelsea H.

    For a long time my husband just assumed this was a bar with food! But now we frequent here regularly, because the food is that good! He normally gets the burger with fries or tots (both are delicious)! I normally get the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes & corn / mac and cheese! Again, all items are outstanding! Yesterday, I went for lunch and got the chicken Cobb salad. Normally, I'm picky about dressing to salad ratio. They toss the salad, and it's truly perfect! I got their house made ranch instead of the chipotle! This place in general works like a mix between fast casual/traditional restaurant. Order at the counter, get your sodas, and they give you a number to sit on your table. The waitstaff will bring your food out, ask if you'd like any refills/alcohol orders, and they also bring your check! There is a bar area where the bartenders will take your food order directly, if that's more your thing. The bar has a well rounded mix from frozen margs, 7-8 draft beers available, wine options, as well as a full bar. It's always speedy service! So it can really take as long as you'd like it too!

    The way to the magic.

    I can not say enough about the fried catfish. It was by far the best fish i have had in a while. I ordered the shrimp and catfish combo. Definitely a great choice. My family says everything is good and they come here often. This was my first time and I will be back soon.

    Bacon Willie Burger
    Karen C.

    Always enjoy Willie's. Have never had a bad meal. Services is always so friendly! It can tend to be loud when it's full but it is not overwhelming. Started with chips and queso. The fresh salsa was a tad spicy which was nice for a chilly evening. Chips always fresh! Had the dozen shrimp boil. Corn and potatoes nice and spicy as well. Very flavorful. Shrimp cooked to perfection! Other party had the bacon cheeseburger. Cooked perfectly as well. Seasoned greatly. A real delight. Fries very fresh. Really enjoy Willie's!

Popped in on a whim after shopping at Old Navy a few doors down. VIBE: Very pleasant seafood restaurant vibe. I didn't feel like I was inside a massive shopping center -- it had a nice seaside charm. At the same time, it was very welcoming and unpretentious. Casual, not at all stuffy in any way. MENU/FOOD: Great! Ample diversity. Whether you want to stuff your face full of fried food or eat healthy, they've got it. I had the Omega Bowl (salmon + rice + veggies) and it was delicious. We also shared the coconut shrimp -- really good. I almost forgot -- my kid's burger came with French fries and they were great -- I stole most of them. KIDS: At first, it didn't seem like a particularly kid-friendly spot (I didn't actually see any other kids there during brunch on a Sunday). However, we felt very welcome with our two toddlers (3.5 and 1.5). They have high chairs and a kids menu (a mix of fried seafood and usual stuff like hamburger). Additionally, both our waitress and the manager (who were extremely kind and understanding) both mentioned having kids as well. SERVICE: Excellent. Our waitress (Sarah, I believe) was very nice and attentive. The manager stopped by to see how we were doing -- also very nice. The hostess? I'll let you guess... also very nice. Even held the door for me when I was leaving since I had a small baby stroller (believe it or not, that's somewhat rare).

Tasted or looked nothing like it. I'll try something else next time. Always consistently good here and we love the service! Hard to come by these days.

It was thin and had thick gristle, throughout. I assumed that I would need salt. I asked for flakey salt. The sweet waitress/bartender, brought me kosher salt in a nice container. The salt helped! However, the steak was too far gone to help. It was closer to medium and, again, the cut was bad. (Note: I didn't complain! I'm sure that if I would have, they would have done anything to correct it!) The positives? The green beans were AMAZING! Still a bit crispy and tasted great! The mashed potato's were good.

When I returned the missed call, I was transferred to the owner, who said, "You're calling me about coleslaw? I don't know anything about that and I'm really busy today, it's Father's Day." What made this especially disappointing is that I was simply returning their missed call... When he pulled up my order, he dismissed the issue with, "Oh, these were just entree sides." He offered a gift card, but I requested a refund for the items instead since I'm unsure I'll be making the far drive again in the future. The conversation ended with him telling me he had a line of people waiting. Mistakes happen and missing items can be fixed. What was disappointing was being treated like I was the inconvenience when I was simply trying to resolve a mistake the restaurant made and returning a phone call.
