G Willies Bar & Grill

Upon entering I was greeted by no one. I had to walk around the restaurant to find someone to let me know where I could sit. This proved difficult, as I couldn’t distinguish the wait staff from customers. I finally asked someone where I should sit. This nice customer pointed out the waitress to me so I asked her where a group of seven should sit. She told me I’d have to move two tables together, so by myself I moved the tables and rearranged the chairs. Unfortunately the rest of my party would end up being over half an hour late. I sat by myself at the table for nearly 25 minutes before I finally got up and went to the bar to get a drink. After sitting back down it was another ten minutes before the waitress came over, verified seven for the group and dropped the menus on the table. After everyone arrived she came over to get the drink order and then the food order. The soup I ordered was warm, at best. The grilled cheese sandwich was okay. After we finished eating we had another drink, at which point the waitress tried to add my first drink that I got myself to my bill. Dirty dishes were left on the table until we got her attention and asked her to take them away. Needless to say, I won’t return. If you’re looking for a place with average food where you’d like to be ignored, I highly recommend it.

Ummm what the hell happened to the pizza? It used to be a Cal’s Pizza style if anyone remembers that Eastside legendary pizza. Now it’s just cardboard crust with no flavor. They also changed the awesome antipasto salad going to shredded cheese from cubed. I knew something was up when at 8pm on a Friday we were it for dinner patrons. Thank god for guitar soloist playing good tunes all night.

Below average food… turning into a biker bar… bathrooms are disgusting… priced way to high

Excellent staff, food is amazing, great atmosphere. I love the Joey B pizza, margherita pizza, hummus (made in house including the tahini), grilled eggplant sandwich (I am vegetarian). It’s a great place to unwind from a hectic day. Bottom line it’s a great hometown bar and Barry is the man

It’s your OK neighborhood bar and grill. We’ve been here several times and it’s been hit and miss. And so though I generally am not a fan of Pro/​Con lists, I’m going to make one here.
Pros (when it’s a hit):
–GOOD selection of local beers. I’ve tried something different every time we’ve eaten here, and I’ve enjoyed each of them. (Here’s looking at you «Mr. Blue Sky Wheat Ale»)
–Some of the specials and regular meal deals here are really good. You can get a personal pizza, salad and a drink for a decent price, and it’s a very filling meal.
–I personally haven’t had a bad experience with the pizza. Not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly not the worst.
Cons (when it’s a miss):
–I haven’t found the waitstaff rude. Every now and then when the place is busy you feel a bit left out.
–Every now and then, when there are more than just a few tables, it has taken extremely long to get food.
–I haven’t yet found an item on the menu that’s just a knockout. They do the standard pub fare pretty well, though I’ve found some meals to be just a bit too bland.
Overall, I wouldn’t sway anyone from going to G Willies every now and then. I can’t say I’ve had a BAD experience here, and most likely we’ll be back here more in the future.

I honestly never ate here, but I have drank here and played trivia and it’s good enough for me in that regard. $ 1 PBR drafts from 5 pm-​8 pm is awesome and they also have good happy hour prices.
The place reminds me of when I used to go to Bob Evan’s (is that still a thing) as a kid, with the 70’s-like décor and set up. It’s kind of funny, actually. As for the service, it’s real good. They check on you often and are prompt with giving you another beer to pour down your gullet. That works for me.

This place was a dive in every way. The waitstaff was a bit rude and inattentive, and some of the patrons were completely out of control and had taken the place over in their drunken revelries. I didn’t have any food, but the drink menu left something to be desired. Definitely not my first choice of place to go.

G Willies is your good olé neighborhood bar =) I love that they have craft beer and cider and micro distillery spirits, as opposed to your usual corner bar. Plus their cheeseburger lunch special is actually really tasty and a great value. I come here regularly for lunch =)

Good food and service. Reasonable prices. Only thing that I didn’t like was that they decided to blast music at around 915pm even though there was only a handful of people in the place. So much for the fun conversation that we were having until that moment. Had the nachos without meat, they were good, but I had to ask them to add onion, and instead of the traditional jalapeños, they were topped with yellow peppers. Weird. I asked for additional salsa, and was brought a teeny container. My son had the grilled meatloaf; it was plated very nicely, and had a nice flavor even though it was a little on the dry side. The mashed potatoes that came with it were really good, though! Overall, not bad. Would like to try the pizza sometime.

Great service! Great boneless wings and the pizza was awesome! Will be sure to visit again!

Food was crappy but the lunch menu had very reasonable prices. Wouldn’t go back.

Wife and I decided to try G willies for pizza (our last pizza hangout got the thumbs down for the last time) I like it, she didn’t.
Wait staff was friendly and gave good service, nice menu selections, LOTS of TVs, Pizza was good, we got the deep dish with Peperoni, I liked the sauce, a deep red robust flavor, flavor you don’t see in a lot of other restaurants bars, plenty of Peperoni, Good amount of Cheese, crunchy bottom and side, almost the perfect deep Dish Pizza, (my opinion).
The wife on the other hand was not that moved, thou I didn’t ask why only because my heart was broken on our up teen time of losing to Keno (why lord why) any way, I believe well return sometime in the future, would like to try there sandwich’s.
There prices for regular and premium toppings I was a little surprised about but if its a once in a while thing… Who cares.

Godfather sandwich = Delicious

I love love love this place!
They have amazing pizza. Great Anit-​Pasto salad, The Godfather sandwich is my favorite though.
Because it’s a sports bar, they have amazing specials during games. 25 cent wings during the Red Wings, I can’t exactly remember the specials they have for the Tigers games but I do remember them being good.
Drink specials like whoah as well.
Thursdays are ladies night and they have $ 3 margaritas.
Cheap pints as well.
The bartender was let me try this jolly rancher vodka that they made themselves. It tastes exactly like jolly ranchers!
I would highly recommend this place, I’ve always had a great time whenever I’ve gone!
EDIT (1÷31÷2014)
I went there the other day for my brother in laws birthday. I forgot how good their pizza was! One of the things I love about this place is that they have the toppings I love that not a lot of places have (green olives and feta cheese). So good. Also, I felt bad for our waitress because there was like 15 of us but she was so nice and kind to all of us! Seriously, this place is bananas good!

OK I have been asked to update «yuck» so here goes:
The service was awful, the tables were dirty, the outfits the help wore were just embarassing, and the food was SO underwhelming that I am MAD I don’t have my own greasy spoon diner somewhere… or a hot dog cart, roach coach, $ 20 gas grill, or a sandbox, cause a child can makle better use of the space. I thought «yuck» was descriptive though!

I’m with Keith. If you are looking for a wilted salad or something under cooked or over cooked this is the place to be. The pizza used to be good. USED TO, Now it’s a dough ball with some cheese on it!
Yuck x2!
