“ They treat you very well for your first time! The happy hour margaritas are a steal! $5 for a full glass of a marg. The food is a bit on the oily side but that is expected for a place like this ”
“ The food and atmosphere was great. Tried the cordon blue chicken sandwich and onion rings which were both amazing. They had a fun selection of cocktails and all the staff were very kind and attentive. ”
“ Love the outdoor seating, tvs, bar and food and coffee trucks. We come here to watch sports because they have a playground for kids - genius. Service inside is great and outside service is hit or miss. Haven't tried the Eastside boilers food but I'm a vegetarian and trying to go vegan, so it's whatever. Drinks are good and ambiance is great. Lights in trees and seasonal decor are great. ”
“ We visited Willie's for a crawfish cookoff to see who makes the best boil in Austin area. The place is mainly all outdoors with patio seatings, but there are plenty of tables with shade from many huge trees onsite. They do have a small indoor section with AC. Because it's small, we couldn't get seats inside but that wasn't an issue since we didn't bring our dog. Two other parties had their dogs with them and it was really nice to see they allow dogs inside since most businesses don't allow this and our poor pups shouldn't have to suffer this crazy TX heat. They also sell ice cream inside for humans and pups! Our favorite crawfish winner was Eastside Boilers, who actually sells at Willie's every Thu through Sun. Their normal menu price is a bit on the high side, $12 for a lb or $9/lb if you buy 5lbs. This late in the season, others are selling for $5-6/lb so would be great to see them drop their price according to market prices. I took off a star because of the higher price and also the event advertised 12 boilers competing, but when we arrived they only had 6. We're definitely going to visit this event every year because it ended up being a really good deal, we probably did end up eating about 4-5lbs of crawfish for the $35 tasting ticket. ”
“ Fun outdoor bar and great crawfish! Kid and pet friendly! Went for the crawfish tournament and loved it. ”
“ Food was perfect crawfish back to $45 for 5lbs and very reasonable after all I do tip on top of that and was plenty for two of us. Very flavorful able the best in Buda we are so lucky yo have you close by. I must say that I did feel sorry for the band setting up as they were in the SUN I feel that Willie's should definitely rethink that situation before it gets hotter. I felt so sorry for them. Maybe it's possible to have fans moving the air for them too like in the picture. This is a family environment and we do enjoy coming here and people watching. There is two trailers that offer food and also Willie's joint itself has food options. Love this place a fantastic hangout close by my house ”
“ We came here on Sunday and loved it! Their snow crab was solid, and my fiancé liked her Willie's BBQ Burger as well (as did I). They also had nice and more than ample outdoor seating, with TVs, cover in the event of rainfall, and cornhole too. It was a fun time! ”
“ This is a fun spot to hang out with local Budans. Bartender has been there for years. Families come to hang out and watch football games. There's beer pong. Drinks are strong and the food is good. Love the onion rings. Beware of going inside because you'll be met with tons of delicious goodies for those of us born in the 90s!! Cookie ice cream sandwiches, Twix bars , all the good stuff! They even have dog ice cream which I highly recommend! I gave one to each of my dogs and it kept them busy for a good 10-12 min. Love this local spot ”
“ Amazing mixed veggies yall! They're getting a 5 based on welcoming employees and friendly environment. I would say that their main courses are the best, but my husband liked the wings and I loved their veggies we will come back. Their fried appetizer portions are a bit on the large size, so watch out! ”
