Reviews for Willie's Grill & Icehouse in San Antonio, TX
So many new food places popping up, but you can't forget the old favorites. A few of the food dishes we like here are really... for us fry babies . . . hot moz sticks with an explosive marinara (or is that da ?????), smallish porcini fungi lightly batteredfor cream gravy dunking, and fried shrimp that have that springiness to each bite that announces it freshness. (Incontemporary, monosyllabic, cro magnon type descriptor, the food was ????) . ???? Josh is the manager there and runs a tightkitchen. Not ecessarily In terms of regimen, but in quality of preparation. There are closer Willie's, but we know if Josh isthere the food will be good. Read more
Customer service was great and kudos to the manager for not only checking on tables but helping out the staff - Food came out... quickly - Loaded fries were good and so was our main dishes - I will be coming back Read more
Food was TRASH. If I could give no stars I would give no stars. Took my family here for a late dinner. My steak plate had char... all over the plate and steak look like someone took a bite out of it before I got it. Steak was Hella dry and cold. Wife's chopsteak also cold. Forgot my daughter's fries with her burger. By the time they brought it out she was done eating. Asked theserver to speak to a manager twice. Manager still never came. Asked the server for the bill and he gives it to my 10yr old sonand walks away. Half of the sodas where watered down. Told the server and the manager that it was but nothing was done about it.If your looking to get food this place ain't it. But they do have a Mexican spot next door with bomb food don't know the name ofit but it's right next door with a drive thru. Your welcome! Read more
I've driven past it for two years and finally stopped in. Willie's is not at all what I had pictured. A huge inside with lots... of seat and a cool Americana atmosphere, a drive thru capable of serving out delicious food, and a non-traditional self seatingstyle that doesn't fit the classy look but works well. We had a party of 10 with no reservations and easily snapped up a largetable in the "party section" of the dining area. I grabbed a beer out of the ice chests on my way to order at the counterbefore grabbing a seat. I got their summer special, the Seasoned Smoked Gouda Burger and swapped the fried onions that came onthe burger for fried jalapenos at no additional cost. Wow, that burger was delicious and their house made BBQ sauce wasincredible. The tots I got could've been crispier but they were well seasoned. My friend got the small shrimp and catfishplate, which certainly stretched the definition of the word small. He needed a box to take it all home. Our table orderedmozzarella sticks which were great, but their Icehouse queso was outstanding. I will definitely bring the family back and maytry that drive thru as well. If it's the same food with the convenience of a drive thru that'd be a game changer. Read more
They were friendly and the food came out in a decent time frame. They had a good selection of items on their menu. The... margaritas are good. The burger was medium well. I prefer well done. Their catfish is really good. They're was a slight wait fora clean table. But they cleaned it up quickly. The manager and wait staff were accomodating. I'd go back. Read more
Very lively atmosphere, great customer service, however, for what we paid, it's not something to wow about and return a second... time. Food was bland. I had the spicy fried shrimp Baja tacos. The corn tortilla was cold and there were just 3 shrimp in eachtwo. My kids had the chicken fried steak, which he said tasted like nothing, but was definitely making him gag. ???? My otherchild ordered kids chicken tenders and he ate them, but said they weren't the best. Out of my kids mouth, only the fried onionbites were good. Give it a try, but it's nothing special.

We ended up ordering takeout multiple times here after our first order. The food was amazing and hot when picked up. The... loaded baked potatoes are full of meat and very filling. The hamburgers have good seasoning and the frozen strawberry lemonadewas delicious. If ever back in town this will be a first stop for food. Read more
Not a bad place to go and chill. It?s family friendly and the food was good. It wasn?t to crowded when we went and they checked... on us often. Just a nice friendly place to go relax and get some fresh food. Had the blackened shrimp tacos and a beer. Priceisn?t to bad either. Check it out. Read more
