- YCYvonne Cale1 day ago5.0We ate here last night and had the fish plate, chicken sandwich and crab legs, along with some drinks. The food was mwah 💋 and Kai was an excellent server. The manager (I believe her name was Mary) came by to check on us several times. She was attentive and provided excellent customer service. We will definitely be back.
- TTT5 days ago3.0Expensive and mid. Food was good, basic bar food. Fountain drink machine was disgusting with slime growing around it. Service was nothing special... essentially high-school kids that are trying but don't know etiquette or understand the value of a dollar. If my ,all beit grown self orders a kids meal, tell me that the "included" drink is an extra $3 for adults. My friends didn't like the service but I understand these are likely these kids first jobs, but that's what you're dealing with here.
- JRJason Edward RodriguezNov 15, 20254.0Dear Willie, how can you claim to have a Texas-sized Burger if all your burgers only have one patty? Also, if I order my food up front and then get a number to sit down anywhere I want, why do I have a waitress to tip? I'm confused.
- KCKharisma CavazosNov 12, 20255.0first time going to Willie’s very excited first time experience. I’m a very picky seafood lover and this was the best spicy Cajun crablegs that I’ve had slide out the shell in a min as you can tell. My wife got the buffalo loaded potato she saw online. Didn’t catch the managers name but she was very attentive to the guest. as a cook at 54th and wife a server/bartender, best service we’ve had at any restaurant. Alana our server was amazing as well. We will definitely be back
- IRIsmael Guerra ReyesNov 12, 20255.0I had an awesome experience at Willie’s Grill & Icehouse in Kyle! Our server, Carlos, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome from the moment we sat down. The food came out fast and hot, and Carlos checked in just the right amount—not too much, not too little. You can tell he really cares about his customers and enjoys what he does. If you go to Willie’s in Kyle, definitely ask for Carlos—he’ll make sure you have a great time!
