If you leave hungry. It's your fault! They were busy but fast. Our server was fun and liked to kid.

Willie's Family Restaurant was delicious. My skillet made it to the table 5 minutes after I put in my order. The eggs were cooked perfectly! I asked for my potatoes crispy and there was crunch on every bite. I thoroughly enjoyed the addition of onions to the potatoes and the trio of bacon, ham, and sausage was very nice. I think what sets this skillet apart from other restaurants is that they use ground breakfast sausage. The interior decorations look like they haven't been changed in a couple decades but you know what they say "If It Ain't Broke". As long as the kitchen keeps producing delicious breakfast, I'll keep coming back.

During previous visits, I've always ordered breakfast (which is ALWAYS great), but this time, I ordered the Jalapeno 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!!!

My wife and I were in Fort Wayne to see Mac Powell concert at the Purdue Music Center, and wanted to eat local . Willie's is very good! Outstanding service! Very friendly, comfortable place to enjoy a meal. We ate breakfast!

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.

Best chicken fried steak! Had this amazing gravy on it. Back in the original spot my dad always took me there as a child. Great Ft Wayne Staple

Well my daughter and I were looking for food in fort Wayne that wasn't a chain restaurant. We found this little hole in the wall that serves breakfast all day long. The food was very prompt and delicious. And I'm pretty sure the Philly cheese steak had an entire green pepper on it It was awesome. The wait staff was very fast and friendly. We'll definitely I have to eat here again.

#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. #onforkstoforks #foodie #biscuitsandgravy
