Editorial Review for Willies Grill & Icehouse – by Paul Gannon
The Scene
It might seem hectic to the uninitiated, but Willies gives parents the chance to unwind at a restaurant and not worry that their kids are being noisy--because all of the kids are noisy. Don't be mistaken, this is not a children's theme restaurant decked with flashing lights and actors in plush animal costumes. Video games, an outdoor sand box and a big-screen TV will keep the little ones busy while their parents enjoy a sloppy burger and a beer or margarita.
The Food
The Chili Willie, a chili cheeseburger, is huge, while the Chicken Willie (a grilled chicken sandwich) is tender and smothered in mayonnaise and mustard. Be sure to try the chips and queso for an appetizer. The tortilla chips are light, crispy and not too greasy.

Insider Tips
Save TimeThe ordering process can be confusing. Order at the bar, then get drinks and take the ticket to the table. There, a waitress will take the ticket and get the order.
Know Before You GoBe sure the kids wear something that can get dirty--they'll want to play in the sand box.

After searching for a good place to get 2 lbs of crawfish, I finally found a great place to go during the season. If you like crawfish, you can definitely tell the difference from fresh and frozen. The mudbugs at Willies are so fresh that none of the tails stick to the shell, I believe it's because they order them "live". These critters were probably swimming around the same morning that you have decided to dine on them. The butter sauce that's served with them for dipping is also excellent! I'm still looking for a place that compares but have found none. Pros- Great beer selection Cons- A little crowded.

Willie's patio has something for everyone! A sandbox for the kids, great food, beer and margaritas, and a misting system to keep cool! I probably eat at Willie's more than all other restaurants in S.A. combined, I love it!
Pros: Great food, good prices, friendly staff
Cons: does get crowded
