Opinions de Willie's Grill & Icehouse San Antonio
Really enjoyed my time here. Regan & Layla were both amazing and very personable. Made ordering and service an amazing experience. My salad was absolutely delicious! And it was huge. Definitely a great spot to chill and have a drink after work or just grab lunch.
Emily, our waitress was fantastic. At first we thought the food was pricey but when we saw the quantity we got then we certainly got our money's worth. Perhaps consider sharing a plate
Honestly don't know why I've been avoiding this place. Great food, great atmosphere with awesome service. Very solid early dinner outing at this restaurant. The ordering style is a bit different, and the place gets packed fast during lunch and dinner, but zero complaints. You walk in and order your food at a register at the front. Then you get a ticket and find a table. The server takes the ticket while your seated and brings the food. Then you pay at the end. Maybe it's a way to help the servers out a little?? I hope they have measures in place for when there's no more seating. I'd hate to order and then not find a table. Food was delicious. My burger was cooked beautifully and nearly fell apart in my mouth. Everyone seemed to love their food and we became team clean plates. Will definitely be back soon!
I have been coming to THIS location of Willie's since I was 4 years old! My husband and I bring our children here almost every week I swear. It is our go-to spot for good food, great margartias, and a fantastic outdoor patio with sandbox. We love Willie's!!
My son absolutely loves Willie’s Grill. The jalapeño cheeseburger is fantastic! ! Kelly our server was wonderful !
One of my wife's favorite restaurants in San Antonio. She worked for many years close to willies and had a lot of takeout meals from Willies. She never got bored with it and still enjoys it. Shrimp still my favorite go to meal there. Oct 2023- stopped by and had the chicken fried steak with onions rings. Outstanding , wife had the chicken and vegetables platter and enjoyed her meal too.
Great service! Caught happy hour as a happy accident. Got $5 apps and $3 ice cold draft blue moon. Got an extra app in the house just because it was our first time visiting. Food was hot, fresh, and came out fast. Staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely stop here.
Updating my review to reflect today's experience. We hit prime time following church and the place was the busiest we've ever seen it. Weather was good, they've got a Mardi Gras celebration going on with outdoor tent stuff, live music, crawfish boil, etc, and people were pouring in. The staff was maxxed, but will give the wait staff and especially the kitchen props for still managing to get the food out for our group of 6 in decent time. Had the crawfish etouffee and it was very good, with a great spice kick that wasn't weak or too hot. Willie's continues to be one of the most consistent restaurants we frequent here in San Antonio. Keep it up!
The food was pretty good. The fires had the perfect amount of salt. Our server, Leilaaaaaa, was fantastic. Give her that yeti cup
Willie's is the place to go! My mom and I haven't been out to eat since March due to the pandemic. We have been a little scared and finally decided to go somewhere. We chose Willie's and it was a great experience our first time out. Our waitress Taylor was amazing! She reassured us the table was sanitized and gave us excellent service. The manager checked on us. The food was outstanding! We sat outside and it was a nice environment. I was very pleased. We will be going back next week!
I love willie's. All I've ever gotten was chicken fried chicken and fried catfish with crawfish tails. Boudin balls when they had them. All of it is outstanding.
When I think of Willie’s I will always remember the amazing service by our server Mario. I Accidentally ordered the wrong thing for my daughter and he did not hesitate to get me the right meal for her on the spot. Our appetizers got to the table super quick and were very fresh & tasty. I appreciated his attention to detail throughout the entire visit and will definitely be back again soon.
Willie’s is a great go to place! Reasonably priced menu for seafood that is quite good paired with delicious beverages. I went for the fried shrimp and fish combo platter this time paired with a Dos-Arita and it was delicious and refreshing. Place your orders at the counter when you enter and pick where you want to sit. The service was great and the waiter at the table will close out your tab.
Tara is my girl at this location! She always makes sure my family and I are taken care of. Much love to her!
We had a fabulous time!! The food was absolutely amazing! Service was great! The margaritas actually had alcohol in them (which many other places just barely have alcohol, it's basically a smoothie). It was such a nice night we sat on the patio and the kids got to play in the little same pit, super great! Definitely will be going back. (Forgot to take a picture of the food cuz I was too busy gobbling it up!)
I'm glad to go back to the beginning of the crayfish season, but be in for a surprise! This year, the crayfish platter we all loved has almost doubled in price. While your shrimp is cut down to half a pound! $60! Went to the website and they even warned about these prices and size of crayfish is currently about 2.5" x less than 1". But prices were not listed online. $Sixty dollars! $60!
i had such a great time eating here and the service at the bar and by my server was very attentive.
Food was great!!! I found my new favorite!! Turkey mushroom burger and a side of steamed vegetables!! Pair with the finest ice cold Draft Michelob Ultra!!! Emily, our waitress was attentive and as always we were offered a desert!!! We were so close to taking home a Bourbon Bread Pudding but we decided we'll START with dessert next time and take home our meal leftovers!!! 😜👍🏼
So I've said my fav dish is crawfish etouffee. I forgot to take a picture of the presentation cause I was so hungry. Well here at Willie's so far has the best. It's flavor is good, they serve it with a little critter on top of a bed of rice. The spiciness of the etouffee was so spicy, I had to order some water and toast. Very unusual for me but man is it good!! The $3 margarita strawberry was also very tasty. Definitely a comeback spot. Service was awesome and friendly.
San Antonio's first location doesn't disappoint. Food and music is good and Aly is the best server.
Emerald was such an amazing waitress! She was so quick with what we wanted! 10/10 service
The food was great and very tasty! Victoria S. ( Tori) was efficient, kind, and provided excellent service.
Went there Thursday night with my family and the food was amazing and our server Aly took care of us and kept us laughing the whole time!
This my first time attending a Willie’s Mardi Gras event. It runs February 8-13th. A friend follows the Groove Doctors who played the night we were there. The atmosphere was lively and fun for food, music and dancing. We had great frozen margaritas and good food. Food ordered: grilled Cajun chicken with street corn and mashed potatoes; fried fish sandwich with fries and fried mushrooms and mozzarella cheese sticks. We had a great time and plan to attend this annual event. A large tent adjacent to the restaurant was where the event was held. This was a child friendly event as well with children attending with their families. The staff were attentive, helpful and friendly as well.
Hadnt been here in years. Always liked it but it was even better than i remembered. Clean, fast, and delicious. Got catfish and fried crawfish tails which were amazing. Already want to go back!
So busy but service and quality was still great. Server Vidal took less than a min to get our ticket. Fried pickles were out in 6min. Lunch was out 15min later. No issues with wait and everything was great. Great variety on food choices. Kid friendly with the sand pit. and maragartitas are delicious. Definitely the best Willies in San Antonio!
Willie's Icehouse on 281 is the place to be for amazing burger deals with fantastic customization options that cater to every craving. Their peach cobbler is a must-try, especially when served on those charming cast iron plates that truly elevate the dish to another level. Allison's service and recommendations during our visit were top-notch, making our experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait to go back for more delicious food and great service!
A great family restaurant, even a sandbox on the patio for the kids. A fun atmosphere and good service. They have a good selection of beers as well.
My wife and I enjoyed a nice dinner at Willie's while on a road trip. The steak, ribs, fries, onion rings, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables were all excellent. The chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich was also delicious. Additionally, the service and atmosphere were great.
The bar people where I ordered my food are incredibly sweet and provided excellent recommendations. The server was attentive and provided exceptional service, ensuring that everything was taken care of promptly.
***MILITARY DISCOUNT*** Great ambiance with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Only 2 stalls in the bathrooms which was disappointing but it will do the trick. Prices are reasonable and the food is pretty tasty. The only thing is it is a little confusing when you order and pay! You order and then have a seat, meet your wait staff then pay them when it is all said an done. Something new for this first timer🤣 TV'S galore so it doesn't matter where you sit, you will see the TV's😊
Our server, Karen, took great care of us! She was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back to see her!
The Willie’s on San Pedro is my favorite to go to! The food is always great and the staff is warm and inviting! I highly recommend and will be back many more times!
Ordering up front was quick and simple. There was a decent selection of beers and items were reasonably priced. I had a cheesesteak and my wife had grilled Mahi Mahi fish tacos. You can choose to have your fish breaded, blackened or grilled so that was nice. We took a seat outside on the deck, which has a large sandbox play area for children. There was a nice, relaxing, slow, family friendly vibe our entire visit. The waitress was attentive and always kept the drinks topped off but wasn't overbearing or super chatty, which was perfect for us. Overall good food, good staff, and good atmosphere.
We visited Willie's Grill and Icehouse for a family outing. This Willie's is on U.S. 281 on the west side fairly close to the Brook Hollow intersection. The restaurant is close to Power Fitness and Country Village Plaza. It was the second trip for most of us. Willie's offers dining indoors or on a shaded wooden patio which is especially pleasant in cool, springtime weather. The eatery is know for it's fried gulf seafood as well as generous presentations of Louisiana crawfish when in season. It's known for imaginative hamburgers: This night, I chose the Hickory Cheddar Burger for $10.99 including one side. Their most expensive hamburger is the Icehouse Willie for $12.99 with one side. I sometimes wonder why Willie's isn't often mentioned among the best hamburgers in San Antonio. It may be that folks do not often want to pay $10.50 to $13.00 for a burger and fries. I think it depends on how hungry you are and how adventurous. It took me about 15 minutes to finish of my Hickory Cheddar Burger. If you're wanting to be a little careful on your fat and calorie intake, you can order flavorful grilled or blackened chicken and two sides for $11.99. Willie's is a fun place to eat. I provided a pic of the colorful lighted menu above the cashier for this review.
We were at Willie’s to celebrate two of my grandchildren’s birthdays. Food was good as always Our servers name was Kiera and she was wonderful! She was pleasant, kind and efficient! Thank you Kiera😊
Daniel was an amazing waiter. He made sure we had everything we needed and was very polite. The food was great. We definitely recommend trying the catfish. Thank you for the amazing service.
Had a great time, Aly was our server and she was very welcoming and friendly! Overall a great place to dine and will definitely ask for her next time!
We also receive excellent service at this location. Old fashioned and rustic. Great atmosphere and even colder beer.
Service was a little weird hard to understand. Doesn’t make any sense to order before you sit down... you will understand my point if you come here. Food was good. They ran out of potatoes for my order and didnt tell me until i waited 30 minutes. But they gave me free appetizers and dessert. So i felt taken care of.
Came here for a place to get a quick bite. I had the turkey burger, it was very good. I was able to get a much needed beer too. Good choices too. It all went well, I would come here again.
Good food, good service. Budget friendly menu! And they offer a rewards program with so many ways to get free food! The service was really good and the place has a nostalgic feel. Sandpit for the kids, tvs and a little bit of everything for everyone.
I would like to give a big shout to BRENDAN, thank you so much for turning things around, when people were getting their food before us whom been seating AFTER US . We enquire about our order, BRENDAN came over and advised us of the situation and was very sincere. We thank you for taking over and accountability even if it was not your fault. We truly appreciate you sir .
aly was awesome as our server. so attentive and knowledgeable on menu items. will def have to stop by again and visit her again!
Update on our favorite place. Still loving it weekly. Best servers ever - Allison, Dillon and Julian! Stay real guys!! First time at Willie’s - it was excellent all around. Food & service top notch. Our server, Allison, was absolutely the best! From the fried mushrooms & gravy/ranch to the chicken fried steak and fried chicken club. And jack & coke Icees were spot on!!! Be back soon We actually ordered cheese sticks & mushrooms before we left for some friends - they were that good.
Our evening was great, Ally was our server for the evening and she was an awesome server. She made our experience fun and entertaining, Willie’s needs more wait staff just like her!! Thanks Willie’s and Ally for a great time, we’ll definitely be back!! AC
Our family has been coming to this place forever. The food is phenomenal. (especially the catfish and shrimp), the staff is always friendly, and the service is great! Can’t wait to see you guys again!
Went to Willie’s the other day, super impressed! Had Bethany as my server and she was super sweet and answered all of my questions. Burger was great, probably my favorite thing I’ve ordered from there. Used a coupon that came in the mail. Will be back!
Great food and a really good atmosphere. Everything came out fresh and tasted great. Brendan was awesome and made sure we were taken care of without overdoing it. Overall a great experience and I’ll definitely be back.
This place has been here a long time, in fact it used to be called Chicken Willies. I've eaten here numerous times and it is always consistently good and the service is always outstanding! Today I had the fried chicken cobb salad. This is one of my favorite dishes here. They also have really good fish, shrimp and burgers. You can tell by the crowds of people that they have a good reputation. So if you're in the mood for some good old American comfort food, you need to give Willie's a try.
My friends and I were there for the fat Tuesday event ive been there many times for that event but our server Emerald was amazing she super friendly always service w a smile. Even it was a busiest time of that month she was amazing always coming to check on us and she always remember our order ❤️ emerald you get kuddos my friends and I appreciate you serving us.
Aly was such an amazing waitress. She greeted us immediately and was very attentive throughout our visit. Since it was our first time, she made sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of. Her service made the experience even better.
Willie’s has great food, so many different options to choose from! A nice spot to go to for lunch. The service I got was great, Makenzie was my server yesterday! She made sure we was well taken care of, I will be coming back.
Love this Willie’s location! Everytime I dine I am always greeted with great energy from the employees and great service. Brendan has helped us a few times and he is wonderful. The food and the strawberry margs are also top notch!!
The service is truly exceptional. The staff is attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly, making you feel valued without ever being intrusive. They are extremely knowledgeable about the menu, happy to make recommendations, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. Everything was perfectly timed,
My food was outstanding! (Because blackened chicken strawberry balsamic salad is a favorite of mine, I order it all the time.) Our waitress was very attentive, making sure to take care of our needs. We love this Willie's and frequent it regularly!
This Willie’s is by far the best run willie’s i’ve attended! All the staff was very professional and efficient. We were checked on often and food was great!! We were checked on by the managers as well which were amazing! Every employee especially the managers were extremely kind and well mannered. If you’re ever thinking of going to a willie’s location this one is the way to go!!!
I had a bit of a letdown with my hamburger. The bar b que sauce was a bit too heavy, and the fries were cold. However, the server was amazing and attentive. They quickly brought me fresh, hot fries, which made up for the other shortcomings. Overall, I would definitely go back.
We stopped by Willie’s Grill & Icehouse on San Pedro around 4:30 today, and everything was absolutely perfect. The brisket queso was hands-down one of the best things I’ve had in a long time — rich, smoky, and full of flavor. The rest of our food came out hot and fresh, and the service was just as impressive. The atmosphere was laid-back and family-friendly — exactly what I was hoping for with the kids. Everyone was smiling, the music was just right, and the whole place had such a good vibe. A big shoutout to Tom, who clearly runs an excellent restaurant with an amazing crew. You can tell they take pride in what they do. We’ll definitely be coming back!
I have been coming here since I was a small Kid and my mom used to wait tables now I’m 36 and my kids used to play here and although they are older now still eat here the food and drinks are always delicious here this place is and always will be a family favorite of mine ! 10 out of 10 I will always recommend!
This was the first Willie’s I ever went to which goes back to the mid 1990’s. I think it was likely ‘94 or ‘95. Loved it then - ❤️❤️it now. Some great vibe and causal decor for all these years. These new Smoked Ribeye Nacho’s were exceptional. Great Smokey / Sweetness on top of crisp tortilla chips, smothered with queso and then hit with some heat in the pico-de-gallo. The prices have gone up a bit in 30 years (ain’t everything though?) My single nacho item along with a tea along with sales tax, brought my tab, before tip, to over $21. That won’t keep me away. Just like Frosty the ⛄️, “I’ll be back again someday”
Made it to Willie’s for my regular Tuesday lunch, and as usual had a great time and a great meal. Allison was attentive, prompt and helping us with a smile - it was great! If you are not a part of the Willie’s Rewards program, you’re missing out- they are very generous!! I visit a few times per month and am never disappointed!
We went for a family celebration and everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the chipotle shrimp tacos and was pleasantly surprised! My sides were chips and salsa and corn. My mom had the catfish and shrimp combo, aunt had a hamburger with onion rings, and my niece had the chicken tenders. For dessert, we got the brownie to share, and it was wonderful! Service was great and very attentive even though the place was packed like sardines.

The staff at the register when ordering were helpful and fast. Didn’t wait long for a brisket baked potato, fried shrimp plate and kids chicken plate. The brisket potato was really good. The shrimp was weird it was rubbery and had a sweet taste. The kids chicken was super hot and fresh but a very big portion. The windows were all open and it felt really fresh. The shrimp plate was very disappointing the side of tartar sauce was so nasty like it was old. The fried pickles were also good.
They have a sandbox for kids y'all so come prepared. There are misters outside to help keep cool. Can't say if they help since I ate inside. Place was packed on a Saturday evening. Wait went by fast talking with friends. The fried pickles and mushrooms were good. But could only eat a few because they are a little salty after a while. The Mediterranean salad was delicious. Staff was very friendly. Tables were crowded so waking to restroom was like a skinny maze. Overall, I'd probably go back to try something else on the menu.
Our server was Monk, super sweet & friendly. Very attentive and fixed my husband's food order. We have been 5 or 6 times before and never knew about the app. My husband tried the pulled pork sandwich but didn't know it had slaw on it. She put in a remake that took a little long but she checked on up a few times to make sure we were all good. However nothing was done to fix the problem because the girl in the front didn't tell us would ut be OK with slaw? I made modifications to my burger no problem. No line behind is either. It would help the servers and cooks if the people in the front get the order correct. Our service was 10/10. I always order a burger because its honestly the best one I've had. We will definitely visit again.
Overall, our recent visit was as good as our previous visit from a couple of years ago. That said, the hamburger buns were not fresh. In fact, a bit on the stale side. We’ll chalk that up as a one-off as we’re confident it was not a common issue, but it did take away from the rest of an otherwise pleasant visit.
Great food place. We came here after we weighed in for a powerlifting meet and let me tell you the chocolate Oreo milkshake was *MUAH* and the fried pickles really came in clutch. Ambiance was great and the ordering process was easy. Order, grab your drinks, find a table and be served your food. Carlos, our waiter was on top of it all. Would recommend. The only thing that disappointed me were the sweet potato fries. Texture wasn’t consistent but they tasted good for flavor.
First time at this restaurant. When you enter, be ready to order, you might want to check out the menu beforehand. The worker at the counter was friendly and explained how ordering, getting food and paying worked. On the website, it had seasonal seafood, which was not on the menu board. Everything seemed fast paced, I felt there was no time to ask about the seasonal menu. The food was pricey like every where else. The food was good. Their fries were well fried, not greasy and flavored with their spices. The blackened chicken sandwich with street corn was good. Who could go wrong with chicken tenders? The turkey mushroom burger was good! Not dry, thin but moist.
My friend and I were returning to this restaurant for the first time in awhile and we both enjoyed our visit. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the mild weather on their very nice patio. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Everything was pretty tasty and the service was OK - kind of slow -- but OK. As usual, the portions were very generous and we both took home lots of food for another day. And they do give a military discount! Always a plus!
Great atmosphere! Busy and bustling! Fried bar good / seafoods and burgers are the main fair. The fried. Jalapenos are slices, not the Texas Torpedos. The fried mushrooms were good. Redfish tacos blackened were ok. My wife and daughter liked their fried shrimp and catfish. Coleslaw was mushy - not a fan.
Just great service and beer in on ice very cold. Waitstaff is outstanding and the food is outrageous.

Willie's has great food and is consistent. Their fried catfish is arguably the best in town. Pretty everything on the menu is good and won't be disappointed.
Once one of San Antonio’s great places to eat, now it is just average to poor food. Poor service. Buyer beware! Keep looking around. There are some great restaurants in the area.

Willie's is a pretty standard all American burger bar. You'll find all your go to classic options from burgers, to chicken, to dad beer. The appetizers are all fried things you'd expect. There is plenty of seating and a really nice patio area with a sand box for kids. Order the burger of you visit, and definitely add bacon.
Got to come here for dinner one night to support the San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition! Willie's does spirit nights that benefit local charities which is very cool! This was my first time here but not my husband's. I appreciate that they have vegan options for me such as the fried mushrooms, fried onions and fried pickles! My husband is not vegan so he had a lot of options. I'd really like to see the Impossible burger offered here in the future! Would be a nice vegan addition to the menu! 🙂
I had not been to a Willie’s in a long time so when I was researching on where to stop and eat on my way home I saw a Willie’s was on the way. Heck yeah got to stop and have the fried catfish and shrimp! Was really disappointed in what I got. The catfish was under cooked and the shrimp was like rubber and tasteless. The atmosphere was great with plenty of TV’s to watch football and a great outdoor seating area. Service staff were helpful and the waitress was outstanding! They offer a lot more on the menu than they used to. The person next table to me had chicken fried steak and it looked delicious! Very clean and well kept. I would definitely go back to try something else on the menu.
Our first visit to this restaurant and it was ok. I ordered a bacon hamburger, and I was disappointed with the burger. The buns were served cold. They forgot the jalapeños and the bacon was way too salty!!. The atmosphere was very loud. Service was good. The grill salmon was very good and delicious.
We’ve been coming to Willie’s for 5 years. The last time we visited, we weren’t very impressed, but we decided to give it one last chance. We ordered the fried pickles, but they were extremely greasy, and we could barely eat them. Then our main meals arrived. My husband couldn’t eat his—he said he felt nauseous and thought he might get sick. A few minutes later, I also started feeling unwell from all the oil and couldn’t finish my meal. I told him, “You’re probably not actually sick, the food is just way too greasy.” Normally, our kids love their burgers and always finish their fries, but this time neither of my sons could eat their food, and they didn’t even touch the fries. Overall, we left feeling sick because of how excessively oily everything was. Even the ranch sauce, which is usually good, was so watery this time that it didn’t even taste like ranch—it was more like a strange, thin dressing. I don’t know what’s going on here lately, but this experience was really disappointing. I’m only writing this review in the hope that the restaurant takes the feedback seriously and makes some improvements.
We had the Fish and shrimp, and red fish Tacos. The Fish was rubbery and really no flavor. shrimp and fries were delicious. Blackened red fish was good, but the tortillas were hard. Sweet pot…

I specifically ordered from here because I had a craving for loaded fries and macaroni and cheese, and they're the only restaurant Uber Eats had available for quick delivery. All the fries are under cooked and bland. "Loaded" fries, too. I don't even want to bother. My kids don't like the fries, and that speaks volumes. The Mac and cheese is worse than Kraft in a box. Oh, and I ordered ranch. Didn't get ranch. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the chicken tenders were edible. Not good, though. Absolutely no reason to order from here or come back. At least with McDonald's, their mystery meat tastes better, the fries taste better, and it's less expensive.
This location is rundown, dirty, and smells. We started to walk out but decided to stay because we've eaten at other locations. Our table was dirty, so we told our server. She just took a nap and half wiped the table. I keep sanitizer wipes with me, so we cleaned our own table. We ordered chicken nachos. They look like they just threw the nachos on a plater with a little chicken and cheese. They were cold. When the meals came out, the burgers looked just threw together. Burgers were very dry, had no season, and were tasteless. The onion rings were good. The catfish needed seasoning. Our server was not nice or friendly. She had an attitude like she didn't want to be at work(do her job).
the worst place you can eat , they racially profiled me and kicked me out for something i never did \n\nthe manager sucks ass and would never return again , stay away from here !
Food was terrible. burger meat was very dry. I asked for tator tots with cheese and received cheese and ranch. \nJust wasn't what I expected. \nWaitress was very nice though.

Willie's advertise catfish meal. In my mind that would include the whole catfish like most other restaurants serve. Willie's gives you catfish straps which equates to about 1 to 1 1/2 piece of …
The place almost looks like an old gas station. I had picked an order for someone. So decided to try it. I ordered the Willie hamburger, it was with cheese. It came with fries. It was filled with the usual, lettuce, onion, tomato and several pickles. What was missing? Flavor. It had none. I ended up using the salt shaker, which I never have to do at any other hamburger joint. The waitress was coming up to me calling me Mamma. I actually don’t like to be called that. They need to think about who they use that phrase to. I just felt that the waitress was rushing me out the door. I like to sit and enjoy everything and it was apparent that, that was not going to happen this evening.
All I can say is if you order an appetizer MAKE sure your server submits your meal ticket otherwise expect to wait 30-40 min for cold food. Manager stated appetizers cause food to be delayed..and said sorry that happened. We had a very simple order and the chips and queso held us over until the cold food arrived.
Placed my order and went to sit outside waiting for order with my drink. Had my number and receipt on the table waiting for a waiter to come and verify my order and make sure it was placed like they always do. It was fairly busy but not overwhelming. I have waiters all around me going to this table and that table repeatedly asking if they are okay, if they need anything etc. finally after 40 min, which I was in no rush just enjoying the weather outside, I guess a manager asked if I had been helped along with a family who had just arrived. I said no politely and someone comes out a few minutes later apologizing saying they didn’t know they had a my table despite everyone around me getting helped. I don’t mind the wait time I know businesses are short staff these days but it’s the lack of customer service even if someone isn’t in your section, you notice someone new is sitting down, it takes two minutes to acknowledge someone and say we will be with you shortly or as soon as possible whatever the case may be. But for people sitting all around me to get asked multiple times and if the needed anything while I didn’t even get acknowledged at all. I understand I was the only black person out there but damn Willie’s y’all can have your waiters acknowledge customers so they know they aren’t forgotten. They comped my $2 margarita whoopty doo but I didn’t get any food cause I needed to leave for work. So thank y’all for having me go to work over night hungry :)
Poor quality beef patty. Have been there in a while so thought we’d stop in. They’ve changed their meat and the quality shift is very noticeable. They patty texture was not good. VERY disappointed. Was gonna get a fish taco which was always a favorite but the menu has changed and the sign was confusing “cheesy smash taco”(?) something like that. I have no idea.
