- FPFrances Pratt1 day ago3.0The "ice house" part of this place is cool there are many choices of domestics on ice to greet you when you walk in the joint. I think this is a local chain. but it's kind of confusing how you actually get your food. You have to get your own drinks after you order (not pay) at the counter. Extra confusing if you order alcohol, you have to pick it up at the bar. Unless it's beer? Then a waitress comes and confirms your order again before delivering it to your table. THEN you pay. I got food poisoning from their seafood platter, but it might have been because I ate it about be 45 minutes after it was delivered to our table, as we were at a Birthday Party. I'd be willing to try it again but honestly it was pretty mid.
- SBsteven borgstedte1 day ago5.0My son and I frequent this Willies often. The reason we go there is for the food and the service. This evening was no exception, Taylor was our server, she was friendly and had a smile on her face. She greeted us when we arrived, checked and verified our order and she made sure our food was served hot. She never let our glasses get empty and checked on us constantly. Two manager also checked on us aswell. Omar came by first greeting and checking on us. He always seems to care about the Patrons. Jesus also came by to say hello and to check on us. The food was good and service was awesome, we will be back! Thank you Willie's!
- HBHeather Brown2 days ago5.0Just had a quick lunch here and was quite pleased -- the food was hot, tasted great, and their ranch is its own food group. Miss Maddie was awesome, too, making sure we had everything we needed and making sure our glasses were never empty. The sweet tea, historically a bit inconsistent, was even on point today. See y'all next time!
- JBJolene BlackshearJan 1, 20265.0Willie's Grill & Icehouse is hands down one of my favorite spots! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, laid-back, and perfect for kicking back with friends or family. The food is consistently delicious and made right-the burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the fries are always hot and crispy. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. Mackenzie deserves a special shout-out. They're friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about making sure you have a great experience. Service is quick without ever feeling rushed, even when the place is busy. Whether you're stopping in to watch a game, enjoy a cold drink on the patio, or grab a solid meal you can count on, Willie's never disappoints. Great food, great drinks, great service, and a fun atmosphere-this place is a must-visit and one I'll continue coming back to!
