Willie's Cafe

#2 stop for the biscuits and gravy challenge led me to Willie's on North Anthony by Wooden Nickel. Willies doesn't regularly offer a half order of biscuits and gravy. Their full order is two full biscuits with gravy and two eggs for $8.99. They sometimes have a daily deal that is off menu, which I asked for today. It's a half order of biscuits and gravy with sausage or bacon and two eggs any style for $7.99. The three strips of bacon were nice and crispy without being overdone. I asked for my two eggs over easy. They were pretty close, but a little bit over. And now for the reason you're actually here. This biscuits and gravy is beyond similar to the one I had this weekend in a previous post. The biscuit was spongy, but not flaky at all. The gravy wasn't bad, and it was plenty meaty, but not anything all that exciting. I did talk to one of the kitchen guys and he said they break up fresh sausage in their gravy. I don't know if that means they are using pre-made gravy, but it kind of sounds like it. I told him I really miss the silky smooth gravy from when they were in the previous location. It's nowhere near the same flavor or quality. The breakfast here is really good and a decent value. I just think they miss the mark for the standalone biscuits and gravy. Every time I've eaten here, everything comes out hot and fresh. I really like their all meat skillet with gravy on top. I have not had any of the lunch foods here, so I have no input on that. #onforkstoforks #foodie #biscuitsandgravy

This was my first visit to Willie's Cafe. It is extremely clean inside and seemed to have a lot of regulars dining in. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only knock on the experience was that it took a LONG time to get our food. Maybe it was because they were busy or there was a new cook working. Other than that, the food was good and the prices are fair.

Excellent Waitress, kept that hot coffee coming! Checked back on us throughout our visit. I had the BLT wrap that had a generous portion of crumbled bacon that was cooked crispy with no fat. The fresh fruit salad cup was fresh and all the fruits were sweet. My friend had a Grilled Chicken wrap and it also had a generous portion of chicken. Clean quaint Restaurant and not noisy! Definitely will visit again.

Today was my first ever visit to Willie's. Everything was perfect! Our waitress Monica was fantastic. I got a club wrap with Fries. The wrap was hugh! The fries were hot and fresh. My mom got breakfast and said it was wonderful. Upon leaving we asked for the dessert Menu....unfortunately this location doesn't have the pies the food writer recently wrote about. But that's OK. The food was worth the trip. Our waitress said they have had several people leave because they don't have pie. (That's at a seperate location and also only when peaches are in season). Can't wait for our next visit. Even though they don't have (peach) pie). Thanks Monica for your wonderful service and patience while explaining that you don't have pie! 😉 Check them out regardless, you won't be disappointed!

A really pleasant lunch experience. The food was very good, piping hot and exactly as ordered. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. The diner was updated and very clean. I will definitely be back to try some of their other options rather than the breakfast I had for lunch. p.s. The breakfast did come with toast, but I'm gluten free so they offered me several options other than bread.

Willie's Family Restaurant was delicious. My skillet made it to the table 5 minutes after I put in my order. The eggs were cooked perfectly! I asked for my potatoes crispy and there was crunch on every bite. I thoroughly enjoyed the addition of onions to the potatoes and the trio of bacon, ham, and sausage was very nice. I think what sets this skillet apart from other restaurants is that they use ground breakfast sausage. The interior decorations look like they haven't been changed in a couple decades but you know what they say "If It Ain't Broke". As long as the kitchen keeps producing delicious breakfast, I'll keep coming back.
