The food here is great and the atmosphere has a sports flair to it without being overwhelming. Now it took a minute to get our food so if you're in a big rush might be the place to go for a quick lunch. With said the food is fresh, hot and I swear homemade so definitely worth the wait. I would highly recommend coming here and trying different things on the menu everything they brought out looked so good.

Bar and Grill in downtown El Dorado, KS. Food was good, the TVs had everything from the college basketball games to TPC Sawgrass. Service was good and the bar had great drinks. We had the chili cheese fries with the chili on the side as an appetizer, fries could have been crispier but all in all they did the job. Husband had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans, he enjoyed it said all the food was good. I had the hand breaded chicken Tenders, they were good, could have used more seasoning and the mashed potatoes were okay. All the food was a bit cool even though the plates were hot. We did a side of fried okra and that was very good! I love fried okra, I feel it does not get the credit it deserves, glad we ordered it. All in all pretty good spot. If you haven't been and you're passing through don't sleep on this spot. It is worth a stop.

I wanted soup, but my allergies wouldn't let me eat the soup of the day. So, I tried something new. The teriyaki chicken sounded great and allergy safe. It came quickly but was very dry with no sauce to keep it moist. Our server suggested adding more teriyaki sauce and it saved the sandwich!

This is a hidden gem, I am a foodie from a bigger city full of food options. They knocked it out of the park on food quality. My biggest complaint is the bar tender seemed to loose interest in helping us after being there for a little while. The ruben was surprisingly very good and among the best I have had. This is not a typical place that you find in a smaller town

I had the hand breaded chicken strips and fries. Chicken Strips were amazing fries were old and cold but server fixed the problem and the new fries were hot and good. I will definitely return. The service was probably one of the best that I have had in long time. Keep up the good work. Thanks

THE BEST FOOD IN TOWN! ("What did you say? I can't hear you!") OK, it's a sports bar . . . expect a little (or a lot) of noise! But ALSO expect THE BEST FOOD IN TOWN! It's like every single plate of food I've ever had at Willie's was prepared for the owner himself! Plated attractively, always hot, and even when I've had to wait a little bit, worth every moment of the wait. Willie's has been around for a number of years, and it has yet to fail me! Great burgers, chicken fried steak, pork tenders . . . sorry . . . I'm gonna' have to cut this short . . . and go to WILLIE'S!
