Willy’s On The Water: Lakeside Dining at its Best

This is such an awesome place. The food is amazing, the drinks are amazing, the outdoor patio is super clean with a great view of Big Lake and the service is awesome. If you want some sunshine and outdoor lake atmosphere close to home- this is the place!

My cousin invited my mom and I out..I was going to go to the cafe in Big Lake but mom chose this one.. We got there early and we're greeted and seated right away. Our waitress was wonderful..I wanted the corn tortillas done the way I was used to in California.. The chef came out personally to check what I wanted! The plating was beautiful and the food was delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat good food.. The place was super clean and the staff was professional and smiling

Our meals were delicious!! I had the Artichoke Chicken sandwich with coleslaw. My son had The Sicilian pizza. My mother had the Chicken Strips platter. My brother had the Saturday night special Prime rib. The atmosphere was kinda loud since it's all open. There is a separate dining area that over looks the lake. The customer service was friendly and efficient. They do not take reservations and although we got there a little after 6pm, we were seated immediately. The overall experience was great and actually this was my 5th or 6th time dining here, so that should speak volumes. If you decide to eat here bon appetite..

We came here for the first time and saw that they had a $10 pizza special. We got the “white chicken”. It was dry. Chicken was dry and pizza was dry (not enough sauce). But we were so hungry - we ate it. I shared this feedback when asked if we wanted a box to go. When I shared this - the manager took care of us. Beautiful atmosphere as it’s on water. Because of the atmosphere, We would come here again for drinks and a different food item.

We have been coming here since they open and can’t say enough about them! The food has always been amazing and one servers in particular has always been our favorite, a Jake! He is the best! The fish is great, the tacos are amazing, the apps are yummy and the drinks.. well they Rock!

This is an excellent location with a great view of the water. The food is excellent, service is friendly and on-point, and ice cold beer. Although they do not accept reservations, they do have plenty of seating on the patio that is right on the lake. They also have an outdoor bar providing shade. I highly recommend the steak nachos!

Willy’s on the Water has a pleasant dining area overlooking Big Lake with indoor seating as well. I really enjoyed the walleye with wild rice, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Great food and highly recommended.

Our first time here and we will be back. Service was phenomenal. Our server Dana was very knowledgeable about everything and was great. We had the artichoke stuffed mushrooms, pistachio crusted walleye and finished with pistachio cheese cake. Everything was so good. Can’t wait to go back and try the crab cakes. Thank you for a great experience.
