Loved Binny's! We found this place on accident on a Thursday night, but it was a great find! The space feels intimate, not super busy, and it's super cute inside.The food is simple but really hits the spot, and the drinks are super delicious. The bartender and staff are super attentive, quick, and happy to modify based on taste. I really enjoyed the arugula salad and grilled cheese. The food wasn't too oily, especially the catfish bites, and they were super tender and fresh. There was also a good amount of vegetarians options too!If you get the chance to try anything, the shots are insanely good. This place was a great spot to end a crazy busy Thursday work night!

Willie catered an event for an event my company had at a local brewery and we were very pleased with Willie's Kitchen and staff. The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful. We had a huge turnout and Willie and staff worked hard to make sure everyone was fed!

I had ordered quite a few times from Willie's Kitchen for our work functions, some small some very big and every time Willie has knocked it out of the park. The guests have raved about his food especially his fried chicken, sliders and most amazing French fries. Not only is the food amazing but so is Willie himself. He is such a wonderful guy, very thoughtful and generous and listens to what you need and is so accommodating. I cannot recommend him and his food enough!!

Was my first time get willies. Not only was he hella kind on the phone but had the best customer service when I got there not long before closing. The burgers, fries and the Mac and cheese were delicious. I’ll be back for sure.

Willie’s Kitchen is one of my go-to spots for good grub. Customer service is always top notch. Willie is the man and so is his executive son Willie Jr. I just came in last night to get some ribs and boy were they Fire fire! ??? Each bone just got better and better. Juicy, smoky and tender. Chef Bryan really did his thing! You’re a wizard man. I HIGHLY recommend.- Mark

Drinks were on-point and the food was delicious, from the juicy charbroiled burgers to the twice cooked fries and Korean wings. Get the sauce on the side to experience the perfect crispy fry and seasoning on the wings before dipping into the gochujang. Great service from friendly staff. Really nice gem of a find in the neighborhood.

What a wonderful find! Enjoyed succulent carne asada plate and fried Brussels sprouts with bacon. Plenty of vegan options available too. Before starting his Kitchen, Willie was the head chef at Lukas Taproom!

Update: Willie's is gone. There's a completely different pop-up style restaurant there now. We did not stay because their menu didn't suit us, but it seems that now you have to order at the bar.
