The burger and fries were delicious. I also got a cranberry chicken salad, the dressing was a little bland, but that would not stop me from going to this spot again. The service was stellar, the atmosphere was very cool and the pricing was reasonable. I would go there again.

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.

#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.

During previous visits, I've always ordered breakfast (which is ALWAYS great), but this time, I ordered the Jalapeño Burger (waitress Sandy's fav), and it was delicious with just the right amount of kick. Highly recommend this mom and pops restaurant for breakfast or lunch!! Kudos to the cook!!!

Willie's is a great diner in the '05 neighborhood. Everyone in our group had the Willie's breakfast plate with varying meats and sides. It was a lot of food and super delicious. The mini pancakes are normal sized! And the normal sized pancakes are huge. Both are fluffy and taste great.
Do yourself a favor and get the grilled muffin! They are so stinking good.
