Willie’s Grill & Icehouse

Excellent service & Great Food. My husband and I shared a rack of baby ribs, it was a huge rack and the sides are huge!

So I ate here last week and forgot to leave an review. I’ve eaten here about 5 times total over the years, but i stop coming here for some reason I couldn’t remember. I ordered an small fish with shrimp plate (2 fish and 3 shrimp) and my boyfriend ordered the hickory smoked burger. My meal was okay the shrimp was good but the fish could use some seasoning and my boyfriend didn’t like his burger at all, he said it was really small and kind of bland. We also ordered fried jalapenos which were good, jack n’ coke frozen, house rita (swirled) and coronita. The drinks were okay! Our waitress was nice I guess but she kept acting as if we were suppose to remember the menu, why can’t we just have a menu at the table like a normal restaurant. I’ll probably be back most likely…

My first time here was no so pleasant. I took my family here for my dad’s birthday and the waitress forgot about us which had me pretty heated. The waitress did come over and apologize and kept apologizing. I honestly was still upset but mainly because I had never been to an establishment like this.
We would still order food from them but I refused to go back in. After almost a year later, my boyfriend convinced me to go back in for crawfish and guess what? Brittany was our server. She remembered us and apologized again. I felt more comfortable and very happy that she apologized again. It showed me that she was really sincere about what happened. She made my second experience and everyone after that one amazing. Even when she works the front she still comes over to help us and make sure we are okay. The Hispanic Brittany there is freaking amazing. Thanks Britt for the amazing service and caring heart. You are truly great.
All of the servers are good but Britt is the best.

My daughter and i just finished a great meal. The ICE HOUSE cheeseburger was magnificent! They had cold beer in the holding tanks (not sure what it is actually called). The french frys were good as well. We’ll be back, good service as well.

My work group comes here once every month or so. All the burgers are awesome, atmosphere is good, friendly wait staff. I recommend to anyone that likes a good burger.

Shrimp tacos were delicios. And the service was exceptional. Dani is the best server. So attentive and always ready to expand our dining experience. Will definitely be back.

Just got home from dinner. Was so in the mood for crawfish. These sucked! And I don’t mean in a good way. They had no taste, any spices and the SMALLET crawfish I have ever been served anywhere. The potato and corn had no seasoning either. Will not do that again. Very disappointing.

Awesome for families. Good prices plus a huge sandbox for kids to play in on the deck!

Love there mushrooms here and burger people are friendly the only reason I don’t give it a five stars and this is personal you can’t smoke there not even on the patio seating

I’ve been here for lunch three time this year since May. There service is second to none. Best waiters and waitresses I’ve experienced in a long time. I usually order the Willie bacon cheese burger. Seating area tends to get a bit crowded during Lunch rush but that’s understandable.

I go here for the fried pickles and mushrooms as well as their oreo shakes. Othere then a really good salad, there is no much else a vegetarian can have.
It’s always been a friendly, fun atmosphere so I like hanging out with friends here.

I just had the worst experience here not only with the food but the service. The crawfish was horrible. My waitress was going through a shift change and wanted me to pay for something I don’t have. She finally brought my crawfish out and that was it. The guy replacing her finally came but I was finished and ready to go. I won’t be back. I will go to wolfies or blue water.

Just finishing up the Asian Chicken Salad. Well leaving most of it. Salad stale. Asparagus pieces should have been thrown out weeks ago. Manager disinterested.

More like ZERO stars!!! (Sadly, not an option)
This review is for the crawfish only.
I’m so disappointed. This is the first and last time I will ever set foot in this place.
I’m not an expert on crawfish, but I’ve never had crawfish like this. It stuck to the shell, couldn’t pull it out, and it was tough. This crawfish was TERRIBLE! Maybe they were too old or over cooked, they were also too spicy and had no flavor at the same time. Weird right? How is it spiced but flavorless.
Too top this lovely experience off, we found an odd creature at the bottom of the to go box.
One time’s enough for me.

Good Burgers, good staff… My hubby and I come mainly for a good burger and some fries and a cold beer…
This visit was different, walked in with friends and intended to dabble in some crawfish (Tis the season)… We ordered, fried pickles, fried mushrooms, fried jalepeno peppers, and two pounds of crawfish each… Our waitress (cee cee) was attentive but the service was slow… She mentioned that it was a very busy day.
Anywho, got the crawfish (very very bland) we had to get more seasoning! The crawfish comes with one potato and one corn per pound which to me was awesome! Very rare to find places that give you potatoes and corn with the order. The fried appetizers were good! I ordered a hamburger to go for my hubby and he indulged in it when I got home.
Moral of this story, hamburger orders only and the fried appetizers. Crawfish NO!

This place is so weird. It isn’t like a place where you sit and ordered. It is rather, you stand in line, order from their menu, grab a drink and them sit down. A waitress chooses the table that they want to serve. Then she would grab your ticket and place the order. So weird…
I am looking around and their portions are huge! Uh yeah. All I see are fried and greasy foods. So, I had ordered the chicken on greens and my husband had ordered a Cheese Willie. He is getting his cheeseburger fix while I’m eating a salad. Haha.
Weird concept but the waitress was nice and she kept coming over to refill my husband’s ice tea. If your looking for big portions and something greasy or fried but yet good. You should come here.

Second time coming to this restaurant and I’m not disappointed. Service was good as was the food.

Places like Willie’s are hard to review because you don’t really come here for the food — people in the area usually come here for lunch on Fridays because they’ve got plenty of seating, usually have something on the tube, and have decent food.
The chicken sandwich is a good size and the sweet potato fries are pretty good. There are usually complaints about underseasoned regular fries and ordering in a large group with several tickets can be a nightmare. Even though they bother to separate the tickets they still just bring all the food out (in random order it seems) and just yell out what they’re holding rather than reference the ticket WITH A NAME ON IT. I was almost finished eating by the time the last person in our group got his food. Oh well.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here, but it’s a nice place to relax on a Friday afternoon.

I need crawfish!
Wanted crawfish and a friend suggested a place on 1960. We couldn’t find it but we found this instead — WIN.
They weren’t too crowded — thankfully. We went in and there is a counter where you order. They had crawfish for $ 5.95/ lb so we ordered 5 lbs and two beers. They give you the beer and a ticket and you find a table. A sweet waittress came over and took our ticket.
The crawfish came out piping hot, seasoned to perfection and extra large! It comes with corn and potatoes. The beer (imported) was $ 3.75 each — we had 2 each and our total was a little over $ 40 — win!
They have a patio but be weary — there is a sand box for the kiddos — and they are loud and crazy. It was a nice night — great service and great food. Will definitely keep it bookmarked for next crawfish season!

Went here for lunch today. While I’ve been to Wilie’s and had crawfish (which was excellent), this time it was, well, food that filled me up but good, but I’m feeling the after-​effects.
There were four of us that were in our party. One order was totally messed up, despite being described in explicit detail of how she wanted it prepared when the order was placed (and it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to «leave off the queso, please.»). She literally ended up eating her lunch after all of us were nearly finished because our server didn’t check on us until well into our meal.
I began with a small order of onion rings (oh, my true weakness). I couldn’t stop. I have to say, those were damn good. But that small order could have fed (and was shared with) all four of us. One can only imagine how big the large order is.
I ordered the Wilie’s burger with everything on it. «Everything» was a bit stretching it, as the «everything» was a bit on the scant side. It was good, though, and I couldn’t finish it. Fries on the side with seasoned salt on them. Didn’t eat a whole lot of them, as I was quite full from the onion rings prior to the burger.
The post-Willie’s experience is what’s haunting me now, though. I think I’ve downed at least a liter or more of water since I got home. And I’m still thirsty. I’m thinking I’ve probably consumed a week’s worth of my recommended sodium intake in one meal. My husband (who had one of the salads but who shared the onion rings) is saying the same thing. We can’t get the taste of salt out of our mouths! And we’re still so thirsty!
Willie’s was a convenient place to stop today, which is why we went in. In the future, though, we’ll choose a different eatery, as this never-​ending need now to quench my thirst is not worth any kind of full feeling I have in my belly.
