I’m so glad Willy’s came to town, out here doing the lord’s work. Russell’s looked like a funeral home and he was rude to staff and guests. Lovely upgrade!

Another great event with the Big Lake Chamber and T&J Construction!

We stopped in lon Sunday Jan 18th to eat, it was a little late so we asked the bartender if they still were serving food , he said no. I asked him when they quit serving and he said 10:00. I asked what time it was and he said 10:01. I was like seriously? 10:01? You quint let us order food? It’s 1 minute it’s not like you’re closing the doors you’re still open for at least an hour. He shook his head and said emphatically, No!

I’m sorry, but that’s just Asinine. Was this the business owners rules or the bartender being lazy?

My money will be spent elsewhere!

Never got in …after waiting for an hour they kept giving our table away to smaller groups. Can’t wait for Big Bore and taphouse.

It is a nice restaurant. The fish was really good. Our waitress was great. We will go back again and try some other options.

I haven't been to this restaurant since before it changed from Russell's to Willy's. My filet mignon was excellent. It was seasoned well, and so tender you could almost cut it with a fork. The sides were okay, but why restaurants insist on serving green beans that are barely cooked and almost raw I don't understand. The Caesar salad was a little different, but also was very good. The service was excellent - very welcoming and attentive. The only thing I can complain about is the dining area. It was uncomfortably cold and the circulation fans were running to the point I had to put my coat back on to stay warm. Maybe somebody forgot to turn the AC off?

Breakfast with the Grinch was a total flop. Buffet style Breakfast, they ran out of pancakes and then brought out burnt pancakes.(They ran out of pancakes within 5 minutes of getting in the door after it opened at 10am) There were powdered scrambled eggs that were cold, the only thing good at the buffet was the bacon. Wash that down with a $5 cup of Swiss miss hot chocolate, while you listen to blaring rock music and watch the Grinch sit in a corner. $16 for adult, $12 for kids for 3 items on the buffet menu, burnt pancakes, reconstituted eggs, and bacon. 2 adults and 3 kids we spent $97 before the tip. I feel like they didn't care and we got scammed. They could have played Christmas music too. This was clearly a gimmick to make quick money with not much effort put into it.

One person in our group was unsatisfied with the fries. His were all ends and pieces while others were nice long frues.
