    The food was good, as usual. I like the variety of sides. I get the mixed veggies that they will grill on request. They are really good. Burgers come with a choice of 4 cheese types. I like the pay at the table feature. It's on the condiment holder, but hard to fine. It was on the back.

    I'm still middle of the road with this one. Service can be hit or miss as with the food. Today the service was excellent and the food acceptable. I wish I could ask for my shrimp to be blackened a bit more. Maybe I will next time. Then again, I don't want them over cooked.

    I've been to many of the Willie's over the years, but this is the first time here. It was just as shabby chic as all the rest so it felt comfortable and familiar. Same process: order food, get your drink, and wonder why you tip the food runner if you do everything else. Well, this is the way it works these days. The only difference from the others is the EXPLOSION of road noise. This opens right up onto a very heavy service road right next to a powerful south Austin flow of I-35. It is LOUD. Get your rowdy voice on when you come here. This time, I went with the fried seafood platter which came with a couple pieces of catfish and a half dozen shrimp. Cooked on point and tasty. Also came with a side of fries and very nice cole slaw. Overall, a good meal, but I doubt I would put up with the noise headache again. Too many other spots to explore.

    Been here several time. Yes, it a chain but it's consistently good, at least the one here in Kyle. We usually order the snow crab it's always good. Today, however, it was exceptionally fantastic, with a little extra spice! Soo good! Also had the blackened catfish and man, was it delightful! Seasoned really well and lightly seared, the catfish just melter in your mouth, especially after you dipped it on their new butter lemon sauce! Also, kudos to our server, Margo, super sweet , prompt, attentive and friendly.

    This was the first time we tried Willie's and we ordered to go. The service was great. It was easy to select our meals and the employee brought the food to us without a delay. I ordered the shrimp meal, hubby ordered a turkey burger, kids ordered chicken sandwiches. Hubby and I didn't care for our meals. The shrimp was just ok. Kinda rubbery and I didn't care for the breading. Hubby didn't care for the turkey burger either, he said it lacked flavor, no seasoning. The kids loved their sandwiches though so next time we will try those or a burger.

    We wanted to go to a sit down laid back restaurant after having a long day of moving furniture and driving all day. When you walk in you actually order your food first at the counter then you go seat yourself wherever you want to sit. You dont pay until the end of your visit. There are tvs all around and it's a pretty spacious place. Eventually staff comes to your table for your food receipt and they headed back to the kitchen We ordered some fried shrooms (they were good but feel they took it out of the fryer to soon) and some wings. We ordered them extra crispy but they really weren't that crispy when we got them. They were ok as far as flavor but pretty small in size, but I will probably try something else when we go back for another visit. Maybe the burger next time. The staff was friendly and they checked in periodically for any refills and if we needed anything else. I do recommend the place and I will give them another chance. They just fell a little short when it comes to the cooking of the food but service was great and the place is a nice spot.

    My son has been begging us to try this spot. So, we treated him after his baseball games. The bar and outside area are nice. The food was hot and fresh. The service was excellent.

    The one pound garlic snow crab bowl

    Fell upon this place last night. Went in and sat at the bar. It was clean and casual.....AND THE GARLIC CRAB BOWL WAS AMAZING. Only complaint was I WISH I BOUGHT TWO, and they had some small potatoes in the bowl as well. They would have been delicious in that yummy sauce. For a lady, the one pound portion was good....just needs to be a little more filling. All and all, A PLEASANT SURPRISE. Definitely a KYLE MUST GO TO.

    Lyndsey is awesome! She has done great from day 1 and has taken great care of us since macey left. The food here is good, the service (with Lyndsey) is great, and the atmosphere with the climate controlled open air patio is top notch too.

The bathrooms are just spectacular here. I was greeted, seated, and waited on by a charming worker. Predictably, I ordered the Denver omelette because it's my go-to breakfast anytime it's available. It came out hot, complete, and with a beautiful presentation. The bell peppers were not as tasty as I'd hoped but the dynamite ham more than made up for it. The hash browns were okay but didn't really taste all that good. Not like the rest of the meal. The toast with butter and jam were top notch. I liked the substantial metal flatware and plates but wished the iced tea glasses could be larger. All in all it was just what I needed to face another day of work.

    This place knows pancakes with four all the time specialty flavors (pineapple, strawberry, cinnamon…read moreroll and banana), one specialty (currently sticky toffee) and the basic buttermilk. While they claim to be a breakfast / brunch restaurant, all of the options I saw on the menu are breakfast options (no burgers, no salads, soups, sandwiches, etc ). So if you like endless variations on eggs and some creative pancakes / French toast this place is for you. If one or more in your party want something different, they may not feel very excited with the menu. They have quite an extensive menu beyond pancakes if that's not your thing. They have a specialty bacon that I really enjoyed with a stack of strawberry pancakes. The wife went with two eggs, two bacon, hashbrowns, substituted the sticky toffee pancake for the bread options. She thoroughly enjoyed the eggs, bacon and pancake. The hashbrowns were a bit of a miss. They tried to do something unique with the potatoes and they were not the right texture, being on the mushy side of things. Service was competent and prompt. The wife had decaf coffee and while it was quite good, our server could have been more attentive in keeping her cup full. The inside decor seemed unremarkable to me. With no partitions to speak of, it was louder than most places. On the positive side, it we clean, comfortable and well maintained. Definitely a place to return to when we are in the area looking for brunch.

    My family and I decided to return to Hays City Store for lunch while one of my kids was visiting…read moreduring Spring Break. We drove up, parked, and then walked to the hostess station. We were greeted by a friendly hostess that put our name on the list. We waited about 10 minutes and then they called our name. They seated us outside in a shaded area. It was really nice. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed the atmosphere. After waiting a few minutes our waitress came over and greeted us. She was very friendly and took care of us throughout our visit. She gave us menus and took our drink order. When she brought us our waters she took our order. To start we shared some onion rings and nachos. The onion rings were delicious. The interior onion was sweet and the exterior batter was crispy. The nachos were tasty. The chips were thick and able to hold all of the ingredients and the chicken tinga was flavorful. For our main meal my son ordered the pepperoni pizza and loved it. My husband ordered the Fried Catfish Lunch. He enjoyed it and said the catfish was soft with a crispy, and light breaded exterior. He said that the hush puppies and fries were fine. I ordered the Meat Pizza which comes with Pepperoni, Ham, Bacon, and Sausage. The pizza was yummy. I could definitely taste the pepperoni and sausage flavor and the ham was spread out in large chunks. The crust was light and airy. Overall Hays City Store was a great place to visit for lunch. The outdoor atmosphere was great. The service was really good, and the food was tasty.

    I just love this place. I cannot stand wings unless they are from here only. Idk how they perfected…read morethem the way they have but- quite literally the best wings ever! Everything is always good here. Fun vibes, great for kids and families. Wait staff is always friendly and nice too.

It was…read moremissing cheese, this burger doesn't come with it so I had to ask for it after the fact. The BBQ sauce is delicious, the onion ring just right. The bun didn't fall apart. The fries could use a little seasoning that isn't just salt because they felt a little bland next to the burger. Oh, and it's less than $13. Like where can you do and get a 1/2lb burger that actually feels like a 1/2lb for that price. Here, that's where. The waitress was super sweet and attentive. They weren't busy which was shocking. The restaurant itself could use a little more ambiance. I know it's more of a sports bar, but it is cold feeling. Knowing if there's specials would help too. They do have several TVs and apparently they do karaoke on Saturday's. Excellent lunch, will be a top of the list spot from now on.

    Wow--what a hidden gem in Kyle, Texas!…read more After working late and heading to a concert, we completely skipped dinner and were starving afterward. Most places were closed except for a few chain drive-thrus, but this spot was still open and we'd been wanting to try it ever since they opened. The kitchen closes at 1:30am. Perfect timing! We ordered the chicharrones with guacamole, the Boring Burger, and the Piiggy burger with sweet potato fries. Let me start by saying: you HAVE to order the chicharrones. My husband usually doesn't even like chicharrones, but he absolutely loved these. They were freshly fried, not oily at all, super light and airy and gone in about two minutes flat. The burgers might look like typical bar burgers, but don't be fooled. They were surprisingly not greasy at all, made with fresh (not frozen) beef patties. The buns were soft yet sturdy and didn't fall apart while eating. This is what I'd call elevated bar food with great flavor and noticeable freshness. I'm not usually a burger person, but I genuinely loved these because they were fresh and not heavy or greasy. The sweet potato fries were also a win. Again, not greasy at all. Honestly, they tasted like they came out of an air fryer, which made them feel lighter and healthier. The space is great too: indoor and outdoor seating, plus a kids' play area just outside the patio, which is a huge bonus for families. Service was excellent--friendly, fast, and attentive. If you live anywhere near Kyle, you should absolutely check this place out. We'll definitely be back!
