Willie's Joint And Grill - Buda

Food was good and a lot of food. Guy bartender was not friendly. Atmosphere was very cool

Way better than last time. Like the mister fans. Good music.

Service was great, me and some buddies rode in on our bikes just to have a beer and it was a awesome bar. Git to write our names on the walls. Great hospitality.

We visited Willie's for a crawfish cookoff to see who makes the best boil in Austin area. The place is mainly all outdoors with patio seatings, but there are plenty of tables with shade from many huge trees onsite. They do have a small indoor section with AC. Because it's small, we couldn't get seats inside but that wasn't an issue since we didn't bring our dog. Two other parties had their dogs with them and it was really nice to see they allow dogs inside since most businesses don't allow this and our poor pups shouldn't have to suffer this crazy TX heat. They also sell ice cream inside for humans and pups! Our favorite crawfish winner was Eastside Boilers, who actually sells at Willie's every Thu through Sun. Their normal menu price is a bit on the high side, $12 for a lb or $9/lb if you buy 5lbs. This late in the season, others are selling for $5-6/lb so would be great to see them drop their price according to market prices. I took off a star because of the higher price and also the event advertised 12 boilers competing, but when we arrived they only had 6. We're definitely going to visit this event every year because it ended up being a really good deal, we probably did end up eating about 4-5lbs of crawfish for the $35 tasting ticket.

Went for their 10 yr anniversary event. The place was cool and the vibe was nice.
