Willhoite's Restaurant. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) in Grapevine (Texas).
Description
Walking into Willhoite’s Restaurant in Grapevine feels like stepping back in time, and I mean way back. This spot isn’t just any joint; it’s got some serious history. The building itself? Built way back in 1914, originally a dry goods store and then an automotive garage. I found that fascinating, especially spotting the classic 1927 Model T on display—definitely an eye-catcher!
Nestled right at 432 S Main St, it’s a little hard to miss. A bit smokey inside, sure—totally a bar vibe—but there’s just something charming about the worn-in, rustic feel. That said, if you’ve got a cigarette aversion, it might be a bit much for ya.
The food, oh boy! You’ve gotta try the brunch buffet. Endless options, plus a live omelet bar. Honestly, the chicken fried steak was a generous portion and tasted like home cooking. The cornbread? Best in town—no contest there. And if you’re in the mood for burgers, the reviews say they’re pretty bomb too.
Now, let’s talk about the vibe. The place has a bustling atmosphere, complete with live music that really amps up the experience. I spotted a patio outside—perfect for people-watching while sipping a cold brew.
The staff? Super friendly. Like, you get that warm, down-home feeling. I had a server who was downright delightful. She made me feel right at home, even when the place filled up later.
Sure, it’s not a Michelin-star joint, and some dishes might not be the freshest, but hey, it’s a buffet! The energy, the people, the live bands—it’s about having a good time with friends or family.
All in all, if you’re rolling through Grapevine, definitely swing by Willhoite’s. Grab a drink, enjoy the atmosphere, and embrace a slice of history. You may just find your new favorite spot!
