Willie B'S

22 Dec 17

Tonight we decided to have a Loaded Potato with Brisket and all the trimmings at a cost of 8.50 at Willie B's. The actual name is Willie's Bar-B-Q but it is known to all Winter Texans as Willie B'S. All the meat is Bar-B -Q" with Genuine Pecan ( wood) Smoked" and believe me it is good. 

Willie's has been in business since we first arrived in this area of TX since 1999 and probably before that. We have never seen Willie and I have never heard of anyone else mention that they have seen him but the name and restaurant  is well known in the Rio Grande Valley.   

The restaurant houses about 120 people and the ambiance is somewhat muted, which is to say it as basic as it can be. The tables and chairs are made of wood , done by a Non- finished carpenter. There are chairs and or benches at each table  and all tables are 3 ft square so you can join them together to host a large group.

The main  menu's selling feature is the Large ( I mean large ) "Stuffed" ( we call it loaded ) potato with Brisket meat. Most seniors , including us, have to share the potato because a normal person could not eat it all. 
However the menu has at least a 100 ( probably more ) combinations which includes rice , corn, salads, ribs ,chicken etc etc. They do a lot of takeout and we have never been there that there wasn't a lineup but they are fast and every day has a special which means a dollar off. 
Nothing grabs the attention of a Senior like a discount even if it means using 2.00 of gas to drive somewhere to save a dollar.

We have friends who have been coming to the RGV for over 20 years but they have  never heard of Willie B's so we will try to get them to  "experience" the experience. They are creatures of habit and they mostly frequent the regulars like Olive Garden, Applebee's and the like. Life is too short too miss out  on Willie's B's Cheers.
