    Chicken Willie Sandwich

    My family and I were hungry and looking for something to eat while in Pearland. We were going to go to the Texas Roadhouse and stopped here instead to give it a go. The place definitely has a bar vibe and there were lots of available tables to sit at. Pros: - Fresh hot tater tots Cons: - Overly buttered Texas toast bread on a bland chicken sandwich - Bland chips with bland queso and bland salsa Although our waitress was friendly, we never received a refill on our fountain drinks. I had to get up and fill them for everyone in our party. The waitress finally came around and asked if we needed anything. I asked for a side of mayonnaise and I received the world's smallest dollop of mayonnaise. Our experience and service was not anything memorable. Can I recommend this place? Not until they fix some of these issues.

    I wanted to like this place because it was recommended to me but it just didn't hit the mark. Ambiance: The service was good and he was kind. There is tons of different seating options and it wasnt too busy. It was moderate noise level and a good vibe inside. They have draft and bottled beer which was nice. Also, a few different frozen alcohol options. Beergarita: This drink was the only thing that was good. It came with a tiny bottle of dos inside. The margarita is standard and a very big size. Cheese Willy: At first it was a punch of flavor and pretty good. However, then I realized the other side of the burger was pretty soggy. The meat tasted a little funky too. The fries that came with the dish tasted good and fresh. However, a bit too salty.

    Food good !! great atmosphere! big wings... i had 2 fish tacos, street corn and mixed veggies and chicken wings . Street corn was ok. The red snapper fish tacos was gucci. Chicken wings are good but big ask to fry hard. Honey garlic and garlic parm was good. good service 7.5/10

    Chipotle Ribeye Nachos

    Willie's is a great casual family friendly restaurant. I tried the chipotle nachos and they were FIRE! Meaning they taste really good, but they were also very spicy. I would totally recommend. We also had the burger and I wasn't as impressed. We sat at the bar and they did a great job with the drinks! I love a bar tender that likes to listen feedback.

    It's fine. It's standard American bar food. You get a decent amount of food and side options for what you're paying for but I wouldn't say the quality is anything special. You order at the front and then given a separate server to take care of you once you choose a seat. I will say the ceasar dressing leans on the anchovie side and would get in on the side so you know whether you like it or not

    Kids Mini Corn Dogs

    Restaurant was packed the day we visited (Sunday lunchtime) we got the last indoor table available. Ambiance, casual laid back but very loud...music outside way too loud and I have pretty high tolerance so we took the last indoor table. You order at the counter & wait for your food at your table. Service was average, checked on us a few times. Fried mozzarella was really good, crunchy...good pull w/cheese. Kiddo loved the mini corn dogs and fries and will say he's super picky! Shrimp report- good...ordered coleslaw and fries, both just okay. I ordered the grilled chicken, street corn and veggies. The star of the show were the veggies...chicken had no flavor, was warm not hot, pretty dry. Street corn was not served hot, cheese sat on top...didn't melt in, didn't have any flavor at all very bland. Veggies were great...grilled, hot...yum! Overall just wasn't a great lunch experience...it was over crowded, loud, service was bleh...food was ok at best. Not really sure if we will return to this location tbh...seemed like a lot of work for ok food.

    Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. The blackened shrimp was good with the mixed vegetables. You order at the counter when you walk in. The service was great. The bartender was really sweet. They have an outdoor patio and plenty of seating.

    Margarita

    The set up was great. Ordered the mozzarella sticks, wings and fries. Only four stars because the wings weren't the best. Margarita on the rocks was great and service!

    Seafood platter that had a weird sweet taste and upset my stomach
    Candice R.

    Last night was my first time finally trying this place after being curious for quite a while. Well, let's say curiosity killed the cat. We let them know it was our first time trying them out and the cashier did perk up from her original demeanor. We sat down and wasn't sure how this worked and sat for almost 20 minutes before a waitress came. The pickles and Jalapeños were mushy and flavorless. I got the seafood platter and couldn't figure out what it was that was tasting weird. Then I figured it out, the batter had an unpleasant sweetness to it. It was quite off-putting to where I didn't initially realize my food wasn't actually hot and fresh even though it was oily and greasy. The street corn was totally cold. I didn't worry about asking them to redo it bcz by then it was close to closing time and I'm not the type to trust sending food back. I regret not just sending the food back and getting a refund bcz I had to stop for a ginger ale on the way home bcz my stomach felt nauseous. All I can say is, oh what a night... $60 wasted and all night with a queasy stomach bcz I didn't continue to ignore my curiosity of this place.

    Ceviche was so good!
    Shakoy B.

    This place was really good. I was pleasantly surprised how well the food was priced and how fresh, hot and fast the food came out . My husband order the smoke bacon gouda burger with fried onion rings . He really enjoyed . Said the flavors were on point . I had the choose two fried fish with fried oysters with fries. The fried platter came out very flavorful with a lot of good seasoning. The kids chicken tenders was also very juicy and seasoning perfectly . The shrimp gumbo was excellent as well. The restaurant was very welcoming and clean . Serviced was great! We will definitely come back

    Place was pretty empty for a Friday evening. Lots of seating and the staff was polite and attentive. Ended up trying their shrimp and sausage pasta. It was good but sauce wasn't as thick as I would like on my pasta dishes. Flavor was on point though. Next time I'll try their burger selection instead.

    First I would love to say that the hospitality was great, everyone was kind including the…read morecustomers, which gave a comforting vibe especially because it was my first time eating here. The owner was right there on the line working hard with his employees and the ingredients were real and fresh. It took me such a long time to visit this restaurant because the concepts are not something you see often, after the eating the food it's like a spin on cajun, american comfort soul food with a modern day finish. I don't even speak like this, but after this fantastic meal I couldn't help but to let yall know it's worth a try. The first item I tried was the blackened fish jambalaya & it was really good & looked like it came straight out the pan! however i'm used to bland food so the kick from the seasoning took me back some. I then tried their punch and it was so good words can't even explain. Again packed with flavor , sweet and has a tang from what seems to be lemon. Fresh pineapples and strawberries were in the drink as well, I can honestly say it's one of the best 3 drinks i've ever had. If they sold them by the gallon i'd purchase it just to keep in the house. I even added some water to it when it was almost gone and it still tasted good! It mellowed out some of the sweetness, but not the flavor. I also got the Da Justo Sampler and at first it seemed like a lot and kind of overwhelming, but let me tell you it was so amazing. First of all the grilled cheese was exceptional, the best grilled cheese i've ever had. The wings were sweet and spicy and I didn't even need ranch for them, I thought it would ruin the flavor! & I'm a person who eats ranch with everythingg. The mac & cheese is the perfect example of what mac and cheese should be, the fries were okay though, I wish they were crispier but even with that it didn't stop nothing! Everything is still a 10/10. I went back and tried the Jambalaya a little later & again another 10/10, i've never had Jambalaya before so the flavors were so crazy , but I still found myself not able to put the fork down! The portions are very big from those two meals I got i was able to share with 3 other people and we all had nice portions ( i was not sharing that punch tho!). if your sick of your typical generic food options and want something out the box and worth the price or just want a cheat meal that's worth it, Krack Kitchen is your spot!

It's inside a gas station which wasn't too busy for a Friday night. You order at grill, but when they give you the receipt you have to pay the gas station attendant. Make sure you go back to the grill to show you paid for your meal. Now I will say it took 25 minutes to get our food but it was HOT and FRESH. We got the jambalaya and 10 chicken wings. The wings were crispy and juicy with a lot of seasoning. Everything inside the Jambayla was delicious from the shrimp, to the fish, to the sausages, etc etc. just all super flavorful in general. There are 4 small tables each with 2 seats which I appreciated cause I usually prefer to eat the food fresh rather than eating it in the car/bringing it home. Would definitely come back to try other dishes; but keep in mind that the location of the gas station is kinda not ideal. You'll know what I mean when you drive there. It's hard getting there/getting out. And again food takes a long time, so if you're looking for quick fast food this place is not it, but it is delicious

My sisters and I came here today to simply enjoy crawfish & each a drink. One of my sister's ordered (medium spice) and her order was almost perfect, nice large crawfish, and the season was just right (see pic). Me and my other sister ordered medium season with "extra garlic." Our crawfish was so spicy we could only eat about 3. Also over 50% of the crawfish was tiny (see pic). My sister got a headache and her stomach was upset. So she was not feeling well. We informed Abigail, our server, of the problem and learned that adding "extra garlic" actually means "more spice" -- which we didn't know, we simply wanted extra garlic. Now, the manager, Gus, was informed. He came to the table and was willing to take the crawfish back and redo our orders. (At this point, we didn't know we were getting the same crawfish back). He also mentioned of the end of the season was the reason for the tiny crawfish. Tiny crawfish that should not have been served to us or anyone (regardless if it's end of the season). It should be used for fishing bait or tossed. And besides my other sister's tray was at least 95% large crawfish. Our server came back and apologized, and another employee brought us a tray of crawfish still with over 50% tiny crawfish. This time, the taste was better. We learned that when crawfish is not satisfactory; they take it back to the kitchen, rinse the same crawfish and re-dip in sauce. The server is not the cook or the leader, they have limited authority. The manager came back over and saw the size of our crawfish. He offered additional crawfish, (which I appreciated) but it ended up being the same size mix. The last mishap of the night is that I was doubly charged. A training issue. It took at least 30 minutes to get this rectified and I am still monitoring my account. I believe there were several opportunities throughout the evening that we should've been offered "real compensation" much earlier in the evening. But the offer didn't come until the very end --when my sister emphasized how long we had been at the restaurant; and all that we had experienced and that we should "at least" been offered a dessert or drink. The manager presented discount cards to use on another visit and apologized to us. Thankful. When experiences like this happen, I always think about the top leader, like a District Manager. A DM should train the on-site manager on how to handle/ satisfy issues "at the beginning." Also to ensure that the chef does not prepare and serve disproportionate food to customers.

While my bartender was initially slow with service, she did attempt to improve toward the end of my visit. My tab from that evening reflects multiple charges (approximately $45.00), and notes were left reflecting my experience. My primary concern involves the manager on duty. Due to heavy rain, I politely requested to exit through the side door closest to my parked vehicle. I had already remained inside for over an hour waiting for the rain to subside and ordered an additional drink simply to wait it out. The manager informed me that if I attempted to exit through the side door, she would physically confront me. When I later attempted to leave, I first tried exiting through the front entrance but was met with severe rainfall that would have left me completely soaked. I then proceeded toward the side exit. At that point, the manager physically grabbed me and forcefully threw me to the ground while it was actively raining. There is absolutely no circumstance under which a manager should place their hands on a guest or use physical force. As a result of this incident, I am experiencing physical pain, specifically in my elbow and hip. I also felt attacked, unsafe, and humiliated. The physical and emotional impact of this incident has been significant. I have videos and photographs documenting the weather conditions and related circumstances and am requesting an immediate and thorough review of this matter, including all available surveillance footage and witness statements. I expect prompt follow-up regarding how this incident will be addressed. What occurred was not only unprofessional but poses serious concerns regarding staff conduct, guest safety, and liability. Its been weeks and my finger is still swollen. My lawyer is working . Sincerely,Lynn W.
