- KGKateri Granger3 days ago5.0My favorite place and happy hour on the island. Food is delicious, never had anything I didn't like. Service is great. Marco is awesome, extremely helpful and attentive. Blue crab bites, seared tuna, surf and turf, and lobster bisque are some of my favs. Atmosphere is relaxed, with indoor or outdoor seating depending on the weather. Cannot recommend this place enough.
- LCLisa Christensen4 days ago5.0Willie G's was the perfect location for our daughter's wedding. We held both the ceremony and the reception there, and everything was absolutely beautiful. The food and amenities were amazing, and the entire venue created the most memorable atmosphere for this special day. Thank you to Shannon (event coordinator), the management, and staff! We truly couldn't have chosen a better place.
- JHJ H5 days ago5.0Great happy hour! We come here when in town and have never been disappointed. Today, we sat outside and had some good drinks and good food for happy hour. Our server, Gaby, was super. She was very personable and fun to be around. She checked on us constantly and immediately took care of anything we needed. Will definitely return!
- SPSheryl PhillipsNov 11, 20255.0We really like Willie G's--so much so that we drove 360 miles to have our anniversary dinner here. (Truth be told, we came to Galveston for an anniversary getaway and wanted to have our celebratory dinner at Willie G's.) The menu is wonderful. The food is cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. We had a table with a water view--lovely! And our server Ross was everything you would want a server to be: knowledgeable, professional, efficient, friendly and even funny. We had a lovely, romantic celebration dinner and fun, besides. Thanks, Ross and thanks to the chef.
- AAAdrianaNov 1, 20255.0I came to Willie G’s for dinner and didn’t mention it was just my birthday, but our server Ross happened to notice it on my ID when checking it and he went above and beyond. He even discreetly asked what kind of dessert I’d prefer, and when I told him I truly had no idea, he surprised me with a birthday cake that said “Happy Birthday” on it. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture. Ross was absolutely amazing from start to finish. His recommendations were spot on, he was incredibly kind, friendly, efficient, and attentive. Our waters were always filled, the food came out perfectly timed, and he made the entire experience feel special. The food itself was incredible, extremely fresh, so major shoutout to the chefs, but Ross truly made the evening unforgettable. If you come to Willie G’s, ask to sit in Ross’s section because you won’t regret it. Highly, highly recommend!
