First trip tonight won't be the last. No wait to get in, excellent service and very good food with tremendous portions at a reasonable price. Will definitely return.

I had the Willie's cheesesteak last week when I visited. I thought it was pretty damn good.

The fiancé had fried fish and onion rings. That was damn good as well.

I'll be back as well.

Don't care for the crawfish (too dirty) and jalapeño cream cheese burger, but everything else I've had has been good. Their 'Signature' poboy, 'Saintsation' poboy, and 'Mardi Gras' poboy are all very good.

Only been once but plan to get back again. Nice meal & good COLD beer. I am pretty easy when I get the chance to get out!

Used to go when they were at their old location. It was usually empty at night but I am sure they did tons of lunch business over at that location. The move really opened them up more to the public and we haven't gone because I heard it is so crowded and always on a wait. I miss it though, will have to try to get in soon.

Deserves more recognition than it gets. Great place, I choose it over Chimes East at this point

I've been a couple times for lunch and the place gets packed. Seems like they casual Louisiana food pretty well.

This sounds like an all male version of hooters and twin peaks

Willies has a rolling item bit I can't remember the name. Redfish lafitte maybe or something like that. I wanted to slap my mom but only had 10 minutes left on lunch break and she lives 30 minutes away #firstworldprobs

They even had Ghost in the Machine on tap a few weeks ago. One of my favorite stops for lunch.

Ordered the buffalo shrimp appetizer last time and was disappointed in them. The batter kept falling off and was mushy, either they need to fix the batter consistency or they need to work on their cooking technique. The shrimp were cooked all the way but the breading/batter was way under.

Only bad experience though and have been several times for lunch, so I will be back.

It gets pretty packed at lunch time if you go right around noon, but that's not shocking.

The Signature PoBoy is really good.

Bummer. I hope you let them know. I know they are really receptive to feedback and willing to fix their mistakes.
