    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!

    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.

    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 :)
