    Kid's mac and cheese with broccoli.
    Adam L.

    Second trip to Willie's. It is alright but no great. I got a fried chicken salad and it was a generous portion. The dressing was on the side but for some reason the lettuce was still creamy. Not sure what happened there but it made the lettuce less crisp, which is why I like dressing on the side. The chicken chunks were fine as well. The mac and cheese my kiddo got was white instead of yellow cheese. Be warned if your kid is picky on mac and cheese color. The mac was on the bland end with not a great cheesy flavor to it. My kiddo did not eat half of it. She did like the broccoli after some salt was added. You can pick from any of their sides. The kids meal comes with a popsicle as well. The area the kids were playing at was marked as a dog area and is right at the edge of a slop to a steep roll to a culvert. There are low bushes marking that edge but watch your kids when they go out there. I might swing by again for a happy hour.

    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.

    Catfish platter
    Ruben C.

    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.

    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.

    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
    Joanne L.

    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.

The name of the restaurant should have been self explanatory: Ocean Blue OYSTER bar, but it was anything but. I didn't know how to navigate the menu-- there's Thai food, but also cajun food?? I opted for a little bit of everything: a pound of garlic butter crawfish, papaya salad, and their crawfish étouffée. But... even with a full spread of dishes, not a single thing was good. I love a good leftover, but it wasn't even worth salvaging. WHY: The crawfish had zero flavor. Making crawfish is an art, and the artist here is clearly a novice--you can tell it was rushed. The papaya salad should have been light and refreshing, but boy, the fish sauce overwhelmed every bite. Lastly the étouffée... was far from an actual etoufee. The roux was off, the texture was more like gumbo SOUP, and I barely found any crawfish in it.

Ambience was nice with the exception of one toddler on the other side making a little bit too much ruckus. Hopefully a one off. Our food arrived quickly enough. Major Yum yum points across the board for the crawfish dip (super delicious) loaded mashed potatoes (did I mention w Bacon) and the Steak carpaccio. Below par for the Chicken fried steak w potatoes, green beans (flavorless) and I don't know but I expected the Ceviche salmon to be..more. Not entirely a bad experience. I'd be willing to try other items on their menu next time round.

The butter bowl, yikes! It was disgusting! Denny style grape and Apple jelly by Smuckers was the offering. If you like chips and quest or Mexican breakfast things, then you could find that.

Chicken fried steak x2 Creamed corn/spinach Bacon wrapped shrimp -VERY good. Has a hint of horseradish Banana pudding...you must like artificial banana flavors to enjoy this one. Brownie sundae -basic. We each had 2 drinks. The frozen old fashioneds are great! I like the etched ice cubes for non frozen cocktail. Cute little touch. The total was ~$250. Which is very reasonable for 4.

We finished at 7:10 pm, which is like the quickest boiling crab experience ever! Thoughts: -Sauce is not the authentic boiling crab sauce, it is way less seasoned and had an odd aftertaste. Ca and Dallas ones are 10000% much better.. tasting wise, but I've also never been to a boiling crab where they've messed up the sauce?? cuz cmon! the sauce is the best part!!! -Sausages are TINY compared to other boiling crab restaurants we've been to -I don't normally dip my crawfish in the lime/salt&pepper cuz you honestly don't really need it, but I dipped it in there for every single bite this time around.. hence, the sauce.... -Menus on napkin holder aka QR code -Gloves were the only solid thing here! We will not be frequenting this boiling crab location anymore. Waste of money! Overall, boiling crab is honestly like the best besides all the waiting, but if the sauce isn't good, then it's not worth it cuz you really are there for the sauce. Parking spots are limited near the restaurant, and people ought to park better cuz some people just can't park. Get there early to avoid that and to lessen your wait time. Servers were attentive and nice.
