My Mom,sister and I went for dinner. The front counter staff were friendly but had to leave to find answers to questions about the menu and needed a managers assistance to add cheese to the burger. Our waitress was friendly and attentive for the most part - except for she asked me if I wanted my salad before my meal,I said Yes and then she didn't bring it until my meal.The salad plate was warm and the cheese looked dried out like the salad had been setting under or near the warmer . The onion rings were barely cooked. The shrimp ceviche style appetizer was delicious with large perfectly cooked shrimp. My Mom loved her catfish but was disappointed the sweet potato fries turned out to be waffle style sweet potato fries(wasn't mentioned on the menu ). My chicken fried steak came on a chipped plate with a scoop of mashed potatoes that looked like they scraped the bottom of the pan. The mashed potatoes had dried chewy pieces of potatoes and she forgot my gravy.The chicken fried steak was highly recommended to me by previous diners. By the time mine showed up with nasty mashed potatoes,I had lost my appetite.

I love coming to Willie‘s but for a Friday night…They need to have more than one order taker. I waited in line for 15 minutes behind a line of teens ordering milkshakes. After reading the recent reviews, they might need to check how they operate.

Sat in curbside pickup for 15 minutes after checking in with no service. Went inside and my order had been sitting there getting cold the entire time. Food was decent, but overpriced and not good enough to offset the service.

Nice spot for seafood boils. The waitress once took my half full double while i was washing my hands 😪 she thought i left and didn't pay 🤷 I've never done that in my life and usually tip generously. She received my lowest tip ever. I'll give em another chance though

We were there for the Veterans Day meal, which was the Icehouse Burger. 1/2 lb burger cooked to order. Our server was great. She was very attentive. I'm sad that I don't recall her name. EDIT: I found my receipt. Sabrina R was our server.
