Down-Home and Delicious 12/27/2011

My mom took us to this restaurant about two years ago and we've frequented it ever since. They have seafood, nothing too fancy, but incredibly fresh and delicious. My husband usually will order their shrimp alfredo or chicken alfredo. He also likes the fried mahi-mahi. I usually like to get the blackened catfish or talapia. It's a small establishment, but it's clean. We love it when we hear the trains pass. The waitresses are incredibly nice. Honestly, we've never had a bad experience there and I'll be taking my dad tomorrow. more

Dear Saul... 12/21/2010

Too bad you didn't read the reviews first. Then you would realize that Willie's was not going to be your kind of fru-fru ""bistro"". Willie's is for the everyman, the blue collar dude and the regular joe. Apparently it is not for the likes of you. For everyone else that loves deep fried seafood, Willie's rocks to the Nth degree! more

What a dump! 10/7/2010

Went to this place on a Friday night. Why?\r The place is a dump. I'm eating fried fish in a trailer?\r Wine served in a wax cup? Food on paper plates?\r Over priced, poor food quality.\r \r For Seafood in the brandon area try Stingrays or the Shrip Boat. Streer clear of eating at the orange fish trailer.\r more

Best taste of Old Florida 1/5/2009

Willie's has the best, most tender gator anywhere. Whenever we have visitors, we always get boxes to go or take them to Willie's. It's too bad there aren't more restaurants with the friendly home feel that this place has. I just like the location too. Down by the railroad tracks, the decor of critters hanging on the wall. If you like fishing, you'll get a kick out of the monsters hanging around. We've lived all around the world, though natives of Florida. From Europe to the Caribbean, we've dined at some pretty fine and cool places, but Willie's is at the top of our list. Great staff is very friendly, too. Pros: Gator and the crawfish when paired with the recommended sauces; it's close to home Cons: Only cons are that Willie's closed Sundays and Mondays more

Don D 8/8/2008

I donot know where the last fellow got his food but was not at Willies, there is no place where\r you can get better, the service is slow sometimes, but the food is well forth the wait. I have lived in this\r aera most of my life and have eaten seafood from one cost to the other, and never found and up the\r east coast to north Carolina, and to the Keys, it does not come any better than \r Willie's Pros: Best seafood around Cons: only opened tue throught sat more

One of a kind 6/20/2005

They just don't open restaurants like this anymore. Mounted fish and paintings of local cypress swamps adorn the walls. Even the parking fits with the feel of the restaurant, with a row of grass spots along a railroad track. The food is excellent, but be wary if you don't like fried foods. They've got lots of old Florida staples that you can't find anymore, like alligator tail and frog legs. The shrimp, mahi-mahi, and hush puppies are also impressive. Pros: Amazing food, Old Florida menu, Never a wait Cons: Closed on Monday more
