We were big fans but our last three visits have been horrible at the least . Got 14 small crawfish when I ordered 3lbs . We had our food way before our drinks because they forgot. Then charged my credit card for someone else's order read more

Teach the young servers not to say unnecessary comments to make her ego "stand out" from others. Took my little ones to enjoy their lunch just to wait a good while for a drink order. Getting told that our original server didn't want to take us, unprofessional that no one wanted to approach us. The long wait just to end up with a hot ceaser salad in the outdoor patio. following up with received plain wings when we weren't told the sauce/flavor was out. No approaches of other options either just told when it came out. Prioritizing customers is not met at this location. 2/10 read more

Friday family night dinner here and seriously disappointed. Wish I could say it's the first time this happened. Seems like big groups are a struggle for them. We got there before our group. My husband ordered a salmon on a salad. Not difficult, it was. I ordered a burger and fries. The other meal was a pulled pork sandwich with fries. We were at least 30 minutes ahead of the rest of our group. They got their food orders before us. We finally asked the manager what the deal was. She explained that salmon takes longer, yes if she went fishing for it. We usually order the salmon on salad plate and it's never taken this long. The salmon was over cooked this time around. My dad ordered a shrimp plate and complained that it was dry and over cooked. He didn't even eat his food. The waitress obviously didn't say anything to her manager either. The rest of the party had no issues with their meals. We didn't order the shrimp cocktail because on our last visit, it had fish bones in it and the avocado was brown. It sat on their counter as they figured out how the bones got into it. This location obviously has something going on with it. read more

Rolled up to Willie's to meet my brother, a rare sit-down to talk about our summer trip back to Europe--big plans, bigger ambitions, and naturally, a pound of shrimp and a pound of crab legs to fuel the discussion. Now, I ain't a seafood expert, but I know my way around a crab leg. Usually, I get that perfect pull--clean, effortless, like a man who knows what he's doing. But these? These were fighting back. The shrimp? No better. Felt like I was putting in a full shift just trying to eat. Overcooked, no doubt. Nothing worse than paying to be inconvenienced by your own dinner. Meanwhile, my brother--ever the lone wolf--wanted no part of the seafood experience. Any other mate would've split the two pounds with me, easy. But him? Nah. Orders a Jameson on the rocks, then Cajun pasta like he's dining in a different postcode. A bold move, but if there's one thing I've learned, it's that he's always gonna do his own thing. Left me staring down a mountain of shellfish and rethinking my approach to life. Now, the real highlight of the night? Our bartender. North Carolina girl--solid, sharp, and absolutely running the show behind the bar. One of those people who makes the whole place feel a little more put together. Had a chat, a few laughs--could be the love of my life, could just be one of those great interactions that make a night stand out. Either way, she left an impression. Willie's is Willie's. The vibes never miss, the music keeps things moving, and you know exactly what you're walking into. Just wish I didn't have to go to war with my crab legs. read more

Yuliiii was SO AMAZING!! This was my first time here and it was SUCH a good experience for me through and through! ASIDE THE FACT SHE WAS THE ONLY SERVER! And I never had to ask for anything! She was great! 10/10 read more

Service was good. Food was good up until I found a small hair under my salad. I brought it to our server's attention and it was taken off our bill. Other than that everything was great. Well lit restaurant with lots to look at. read more

Slimy and soggy food. Greasy and boring. Definitely not any of my top choices to go to.

Service is top notch. Always quickly seated, drinks stay full, staff loves giving recommendations. My daughter (4 years old) is always tended to and they always give her free popsicles. read more

Great experience overall, the food was absolutely amazing, I definitely recommend the Willy Wonka dessert. The ambiance was just right for a restaurant like this, the music was great. The service was absolutely amazing. Our server, Thomas, was very attentive and incredibly funny. Overall a Willy nice time that I would definitely recommend if you're in the area and hungry for some great food. ​ read more

The food was great, the chicken club and the chicken fried steak were great. I also enjoyed the street corn. Wasn't a fan of them refilling our drinks. They picked up our glasses and a neighboring tables them came back and redistributed straws and all. We weren't confident she did it correctly as they all looked the same. read more

Horrible service. Waited 25minutes for the waitress to even acknowledge us even though she was just standing and talking behind the counter. Food took a long time to bring to our table even though she assured us there were only 3 tickets in front of ours. The tables around us that sat down after us got their food way before us. Ordered a side that had an up charge, but didn't get that either so I asked her to remove that and she did. Server never asked for refills, my husband had to get up to get them. Other than that, food was alright, could've been better. Probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

I'm very disappointed with the food and service from Willie's today. We decided to order some food via Door Dash. When the food arrived we noticed that Willie's forgot to put our dressing in the bag. Therefore, we had to take a trip to the store which was the whole point of ordering via Door Dash to begin with (avoiding the drive) To top it off, the croutons were very stale and the tomato's tasted old. There were also old pieces of lettuce. Like I said before, very disappointed with the service and the food. It looks like someone double checked the bag to make sure everything was inside the bag as they marked off the items on the receipt. However, there was no dressing. Thanks for nothing Willie's. read more

Willie's food has always been hot and fresh. I've had it delivered and have gone in-person. I've never had a bad meal, a sad fry, or wilted lettuce. They do a good job every time. You can't go wrong with anything in the menu. Dining-in is good too. It's a spacious restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The misters are on in the summer. I like that I can see my car from inside. There have been some break-ins in the area. Order up front but pay at the table. Plenty of wait staff all around. Paper towel rolls are at each wooden table. Lots of tv screens all around although it doesn't feel like a sports bar. You can still have a conversation at the table. It's a solid go-to restaurant. read more

My grandson and I were there for dinner on Tuesday 1/20/26. We sat at the bar as we usually do. They need a friendlier bartender. No smile, no offer of menu, Just seemed bothered to do her job. Another patron noticed too. Vibe was not good at all. Left quickly. Sad, they used to have friendly bartenders with the exception of Andy, Ashley and Emerald. These are really great! read more

Uly was absolutely fantastic, extremely attentive and made the whole experience perfect.

I dont see how this restaurant has a 3.5 rating. I came cause of the rating and i didn't want to drive all the way to 151. I lived ini palo alto area for 5 years and this was my first time visiting this location. The hostess was rude. I could definitely tell that he didn't want to be there. I sure wouldn't so i get that. I paid nearly $60 for my wife and I to eat. She probably had maybe 3 or 4 bites. The street corn was nasty. When we told the waitress that the street corn was nasty, the waitress got a nasty attitude and retorted that my wife didn't need to say that the food was nasty but it didn't taste good. I didn't know that we were not allowed to express how we felt about the food. It looked like it was dug out of the trash can and then sauce was drizzled on it. I asked the person taking the order if the mashed potatoes had skins in it. They said no and it had skins in it. I asked if the shrimp was deveined and your order taker or the girl at the registered didn't know what i was talking about. How do you work at a restaurant that serves shrimp and not know what that means? That should have been my dead giveaway that this restaurant is not a quality diner but more of a hangout spot. I mean i would have been better going to long john silvers. I do however have to say my wings were good. They were enormous and the sauce on it was good. Again hangout spot. Not a quality diner. But then if you want a hangout spot why spend $60 when you can go to mcdonald for a fraction of that cost? My wife hated it so I don't think i'll be coming back. I might just come back for myself for the wings....they were delicious!!! Oh and here is a tip. The next time you decide to make your diner wait 20 minutes to pay for their trashy food, dont expect them to do the right thing and wait. I couldn't find my waitress to flag her down. Maybe that's why I didn't get any soda refill. Also don't expect a tip when they ask for help on redeeming the free appetizer for joining your loyalty program and you answer is "oh its somewhere on the app". Yeah, the price i paid for the appetizer was your tip. Its not the standard 20% but you pissed me off so i wasn't going to give you an additional $3. Don't piss off your diner. Can't expect a tip when you didn't do anything. read more

When you walk in, you order your food at the front and then choose where you want to sit. The server brings your food, but you don't pay until the end, in case you want to order more at the table. The food was either too seasoned or not seasoned at all. For two people, we ordered the brisket mac n cheese balls, onion pieces, country fried steak, and the shrimp and catfish combo, with a drink. The total was $53. The server was friendly and came by often. Even though you initially get your own drink when you order, the server does the refills. The place started to get crowded around dinner time, so obviously others enjoyed the food, but I was not impressed. There's plenty of parking, but in order to get to this place from the highway, it's like driving in circles until you find it. A little weird. read more

Can't go wrong with Willies, definitely recommend fried mozzarella sticks. Parking wasn't bad, service was ok, but we've been a couple of times and it just depends on who you get. They have a sand box for kids to play in, nice environment to go to. Burgers are decent! read more

I think the last time I reviewed this restaurant was during the Covid lockdown. Well things have changed at Willies. They now have a bar where you can sit and enjoy people watching or a sporting event. The food is delicious, I had the cheeseburger for lunch and it was very good. The bun was fresh, the meat was seasoned well and tasted great. The French fries were crispy with a soft core, if you're in to French fries you know what I'm talking about. My wife had the chopped steak. Lots of onions and mushrooms on top of that steak so be aware. It tasted great and my wife loved it. The service at Willies was pretty good. We had a good server and that makes all the difference. Willies is a great place for all kinds of American food, shrimp, burgers, chicken fried steak, etc. I like it, and I think you would too. read more

Wasn't the biggest fan of my Caesar salad but it was fairly large for $11 but I did really like the blackened shrimp. I have only visited once but it was pretty cool looking inside. A lot of my coworkers love coming here, they're regulars on Tuesday for the points/rewards they earn on that day at the restaurant. I wasn't aware you order when you walk in at the counter. You'll pay once you are done eating. read more

Awesome family dinner spot! The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Demi was our server and provided excellent service.

Great food and awesome service! I had the the grilled chicken sandwich and I would totally recommend it!

My go to spot! Never disappoint! Food is always good along side customer service. Thanks Lisa!

We got the 3lb crawfish boil with snow crab - Cajun seasoning. I LOVE that they include mushrooms. We also got the fried pickles as an appetizer. The food was very good - could have been spicer but the crawfish was cooked correctly at this Willie's. The service was terrible, though. We ordered at the front; food on one tab, beer on another. When we ordered another round, it took a long time, just for draft. We had all wanted salt on the rim; only one was that way. We arrived at 2:30 so it wasn't busy. When we paid, we handed the correct credit cards with the correct tabs (one over $100, the other only $36). She mixed them up!; Came back to me saying my card would only take part of the bill. I was confused but handed her another card. Then when I went to sign, I saw the mistake. I asked for a mgr but the server said she would correct it. She did but of course the credits won't be refunded for a couple of days; just a mess!! The mgr did come to our table; apologized but offered no reasons or compensations. I've been a restaurant mgr before and I would have at least offered a coupon or $10/$20 credit for a return trip. We were visiting friends out of town and this could have really messed up our trip if we were low on funds. I know I'll go back to another Willie's before crawfish season is over, because we love the atmosphere. But I will be more specific and more watchful in the future. read more
