We were having burgers, sodas and a chat at the bar. Natalia was very attentive taking our orders and refilling our drinks. We were watching England in the World Cup and asked if they could swap TVs ( to improve our view). Within two minutes Matt was over trying to get us situated. The burgers were better than I remembered read more

The blackened shrimp taco was really flavorful. The only problem is I almost broke a tooth biting into it because there was a skewer in the taco. read more

This is one of the best places to go out for drinks, and Eats. Reagan is one of the best bartenders in the greater Houston area. Give them a shot. They will not disappoint. read more

Always love Willie's! The counter is quick so be prepared with your order before you get up there. I had the cheeseburger with chips and salsa instead of fries. Should have stuck with the fries, the salsa was very bland on this day. Their frozen drinks are delicious and they have a decent beer selection and bar items. read more

Great service, food was good and fast service! Excellent management and customer service was great!

I have a theory that no restaurant that makes you stand in line to order,wait around for your food, carry it back to your table and consume it (Maybe out of a paper bag) Can be a five-star restaurant. Maybe I set the bar too high. Willie's is almost full service. You do have to go up to the counter, look at the reader board, order, and they gave you a slip of paper. But then you go back to your booth and a waitress comes, gets your piece of paper, brings you your food, maybe refills your drink, and acts like a full service waitress until the end where she gives you the check. It's an interesting hybrid. So to my mind, that's a four star. The food was good. The post-order service was good. The Ambiance was nice. I think it's a successful Little chain and I encourage you to check it out. read more

It was a great experience! Everyone was super nice and the food was great! It was a large portion and it didn't break the bank! I am definitely coming back! read more

We dine here often and love the food. My husband gets the chicken fingers and dips it in the queso. So good! I prefer a regular, traditional burger. Lauren was our server and she is great! Helps us decide if we want any appetizers and we usually cave and get some fried pickles! She says they're her favorite. So, now they're our favorite. Thank you, Lauren, for an awesome experience. read more

They have cameras in here and just stalk you while you are eating your food. Overall the food is good but you just feel very supervised. Other places are comfortable to eat in but not this federal environment. Thank you read more

The food and menu was better 14 years ago. The onion rings are the bomb! The fish tacos of long ago were awesome. I do not care for the change, so will not order. They need a vegan burger option and gluten free buns. How hard is it to offer a black bean burger and order gluten free buns from your supplier. Willie's could take a page out of Rodeo Goat's menu. Sometimes the service is great, sometimes not. I realize that is anywhere, but the inconsistency is consistent. On to positives... many TVs with sports, casual, kid friendly, and $4 frozen margs everyday. Make it a top shelf for only $5 more. read more

It was super busy when we came in, service was awesome! Our burger took some time, but Chris took care of it before we even had to say a word. Jaelyn was super sweet, dropped off our food, and even gave my harassing 3 year old daughter a bomb pop to keep her chill. We love this place! We will be back! Thanks y'all!!!! read more

Whatever you get here stay clear of the chicken fried steak!! Frozen from Sam's club has this beat by a1000 miles. It's obviously not made fresh and is the worst I have ever eaten in my life!!! I'm not a picky eater so unless it crawls off my plate I eat it. NOT THIS though read more

We have always loved Willie's. The food is great (the crawfish is not unfortunately - been coming here since early 2000s). My favorite menu item is the hot honey chicken sandwich. The grilled sandwich is also so amazing (best eaten at the restaurant). We love the revamp with the covered outside area. Our favorite waiters are Ashley and Trevor. Kim is very sweet but she disappears for long times and does not check on us. Had her a few times in the past couple months and she has forgotten to put our beers in until we are visibly irritated looking around. Literally only that needs improvement! Other than that everything else is always perfect. Especially the other servers. Also has a great rewards program that always has us coming back. read more

Wanted crawfish ... got crawfish ! Ordered the onion rings for an appetizer!! Monster sized!! Brother ordered the sampler... (mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, fried mushrooms and onion rings ) didn't know we ordered Onion Rings!! Was so big we ended up taking most of it home. Got 3lbs of crawfish boil bag.. Brother got 5lbs with sausages, onions and mushrooms. Plenty of corn and potatoes!! Chicken fingers and burgers were delicious also. Service was great! Bucket of beer to wash it down!! read more

Our waitress Victoria was attentive and very nice. The food was like normal. The food is decent, it's nothing special.

we were in the area and looking for a decent place for lunch and decided to try Willie's. overall good food and good service. In this restaurant, you order at the counter and then sit down and a server will bring your food and you can order additional items from the server. we started off with the hush puppies which were good in size and flavor (different than ones from new orleans but still good) and we also got a side salad and a cheese willie burger with onion rings. the side salad was basic but a good portion size with decent lettuce and toppings. the burger was outstanding with good size and good flavor (tasted fresh) and the onion rings were really good. only disappointment was the cocktail sauce which tasted like bad ketchup overall good food, good portion sizes and good service (a bit loud music for lunch) read more

When I'm craving a real, all American burger, Willy's is where I go. Tried and true that won't disappoint. Their Willy's bacon burger will not let you down. The onion rings are amazing too, and oh that street corn. Yum. Excellent customer service too. The manager bent over backward to resolve an issue (not the restaurant's fault) with my to-go order. Thank you for making a DoorDash nightmare a good Willy's experience for me. The food and service is the reason I keep coming back. Great place to watch the game too. Lots of screens in view, but not obnoxiously loud for those dining who were there for lunch/dinner only. My favorite place to sit at the bar, have a cold one and watch the game. Willy's you're the best! read more

First time at this restaurant and I enjoyed my visit. Had the chicken fried chicken and it was really good. Pretty nice size drink menu with decent prices. One small issue with a friend that has a gluten allergy and had to send the food back twice but other than that everything was good and friendly service. read more

This is a great place. Chloe, Regan, and Chris are the best but honestly all of them are great.

"WILLIE'S GRILL & DELICIOUSNESS" My Wife and I went out to Willie's Grill & Icehouse for dinner and more. First off we ordered our drinks, Frozen Jack-N-Cokes ($3ea) to start, chose a booth in the side area. We wanted to enjoy these Jack-N-Cokes before we ordered anything to eat. This is our Most Favorite Drink and we Love how Willie's puts this together - absolutely the Best Jack-N-Coke around. Half way through we decided to start with another Favorite, their "Onion Rings"; (small order) Handbreaded with Ranch. Along with that we ordered their Special they have going; "Chipotle Ribeye Queso"; Chipotle marinated Ribeye, Cilantro, Onions & Cotija Cheese served with Fresh Made Chips and Red Sauce. We enjoyed more of those Jack-N-Cokes and soon our 'starters' arrived and they both look Delicious. We Love their Onion Rings and were kind of disappointed in only receiving 5 of them - and they are now $5 - but they taste the same as they always did - OnionRingLiciousnesss with the Perfect Golden Crunch. The 'Chipotle Ribeye Queso' is one of the Best 'Starters' you could order anywhere - this is Totally Awesomelyliciousness. That Cheese is Just Right and a lot of Ribeye throughout - and a Ton of Chips. Could not get enough of this but we ate it all - and scraped the dish it came in. Now it's time to order - another round of their Frozen Jack-N-Cokes - and also our Main Meal. My Wife is going with the "Texas Patty Melt": Half Pound Patty with Two slices of Monterey Jack Cheese, Grilled Onions, Housemade Melt Sauce, served on Texas Toast. Chose Sweet Potato Fries for her side. I am having the "Founders Favorite Burger"; Double Junior Patties, Double Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles & Lettuce. Served with French Fries. Orders are in and our second Frozen Jack-N-Cokes have arrived. Willie's is crowded now and the Staff is really busy - as is our Server, Anna, but she still comes around and checks on us. Soon our Food arrived and my Wife's Texas Patty Melt looks Gooeylicious - and she said it was. We both have had these before and nobody makes-em as good as Willie's does. Tastylicious Patty and lots of Cheese on Texas Toast is Perfect - it does have a flavor of it's own. I Love the Founders Favorite and have had this several times also. It's not small by any means and it is packed with Tasty Meat & Cheese - providing you with that Perfect Balance of Deliciousness. Sweet Potato Fries are my Wife's Favorite and these are prepared Just-Right - and my French Fries are Hot and Golden Brown with the Just-Right Crunch - and the Second Frozen Jack-N-Cokes taste just like the first ones - and the last time we were at Willie's. Willie's Knows. We both are stuffed and I don't know how my Wife ate so much, she usually doesn't but that just shows you how good Willie's is. Anna earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award and Loved it - but didn't want her picture taken. Anyway, when you want some Darn-Good-Anything & Everything - just go to the "Willie's Grill & Icehouse" near you - Ya Gonna-Luv-It-All. read more

Ateast a lb of our 5lbs was claws. It was also required to order 5lbs . Fair to say I'm not coming back. Edit: I talked to the manager who told me I should not have had to paid 5. And asked if she could get us another lb of crawfish for the inconvenience. read more

Still a family go-to. Quick, friendly service from Lauren, our favorite server. Chicken tenders and burgers are always great. Crawfish season is here and theirs are nice and spicy! read more

Richard was an amazing server. Very attentive and helpful. Food was great too. Will definitely be back!

Thanks Christian for the great customer service, definitely I back here. The food has good

My first mistake was going there for crawfish. Never again. Do NOT get the crawfish! We got fried pickles and mushrooms and those were great! The crawfish was absolutely horrible though. Tasted like mud and the sea. i love crawfish, im aware of what it should and shouldn't be, and this was the worst ive ever had. We got nearly 10 crawfish that were black sludge on the inside. Rotten. I did my best, but I was so turned off that when the waitress came over I had her take it away, without complaints. Im not one to complain to the manager because i cant hold it against willies for the bad crawfish. Everything else is great. However I would like to warn anyone who is looking going there and considering getting crawfish. Get anything else. Willie's is great but please get anything else besides crawfish. I wasnt satisfied, I went somewhere else afterwards to get something to eat. read more

Food: burger meat was a little off. But the sides and the rest of the burger were delicious. 4.5 Stars Service: very attentive. Server checked in every 5-10 min. Great warmth and big smile from her. 5 Stars Ambiance: crowded. A lot of patrons. 5 Stars Overall: 5 Stars read more

Good food, decent prices, good waiters. Been eating there for 20 years always tasty! Big variety of meals, food is prepped quickly.

We had such a great experience at Willie's, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Kay! From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and such a genuinely sweet attitude--it immediately set the tone for a great meal. She was attentive without being overbearing, and she checked in on us just the right amount to make sure we always had what we needed. What really stood out was how personable and kind she was. You could tell she really cared about making sure we had a good experience. She made great recommendations, got our order perfectly right, and even remembered the little things we mentioned throughout our meal, which made everything feel more personal and thoughtful. Kay's energy was just so positive and refreshing. She made us feel welcome, taken care of, and truly appreciated as guests. It's not every day you get service that makes you want to come back just for the server--but she definitely made that impression. If you're lucky enough to be seated in Kay's section, you're in for a great time. Thanks again, Kay--you really made our night! read more

Cashier was ok. All comfortable booths were filled, but the food & Paige's attendance was enough to put willys at the top of my comfort food list, no doubt a must try! read more

OK, so first of all do not eat William's ice house firehouse I'm in icehouse. I do not eat at Williams icehouse. I had the most horrendous experience ever so first of all I had the chicken that I had the chicken tenders for the ranch and fries and I was terrible. The chicken nuggets were not crispy and had little to no butter and also reminded me a grilled chicken but with brown seasoning Loki the ranch was terrible usually when I'm done with the ranch at restaurants and I usually don't finish it what I do and I take a straw and I take the ranch and I suck the wrench up in the straw this time. It was so terrible. I had to throw it out of the window. It was so terrible. The only good thing was that the fries and they tasted like air fry freezer flies that you can buy, but you can buy at the don't eat my hair, but you can find the grocery store. read more

First of all, I got the chicken tenders and they were AMAZING. Service was very good but the environment was ok.

Amazing food and definitely will be back! The service was amazing and everything was prepared pert

takeout was awful, potato was dark inside and looked like it was a three days old potato , my daughters corndog was black inside and they packed it anyway , food was all cold chick fried steak was awful , food quality was terrible , waited 35 min past my time they told me to arrive and still was cold , unacceptable to serve food this bad read more

A must visit when I'm in Houston as it is one of my FAVORITE places! Best. Honey. Mustard. EVER! And the chicken fingers just WOW. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The fried appetizer platter with onion rings, fried mushrooms, and fried jalapeños is the best. The jalapeños comes with queso too, just a solid plus. Taco salad is my go to. But like I said everything is good. Great frozen margs and awesome beer selection Solid choice! read more
