The Willow Tree Grill

"You should stop in. This is a solid 3.75 stars but I will round up because I believe in supporting small businesses every chance you can. We came here for lunch on a Friday around 2 pm and it was no wait and plenty of parking in the gravel lot behind the restaurant. It is a quintessential small business restaurant and my wife loved the look of it. The staff was a great lady she took our drinks and gave us time to look over the menu. The mixed drinks were just ok - a fun idea but they didn't come across as particularly great to either of us. Not complaining l, we did finish them. The cheese fries needed to be left in the fryer for at least 1-2 more minutes and the cheese on top was not melted. This is a super easy fix so I hope it was just a rush out of the staff and not the norm. I had the burger, it was cooked fairly well a little over medium than I would have liked but still a solid grill. The taste was delicious and I really enjoyed it. The fries I got for the side were much better quality and cooked crispy. My wife got the chicken wings. They were absolutely covered with sauce that overpowered. I think it would have been better with a rub instead of a liquid sauce for the wings. It is definitely worth a visit and you can tel It's a great local spot to eat. I do think we would come back and I think it would be a lot more fun to order the baked potatoes which seemed to be something they are famous for. All of the locals in the bar seem to be ordering them."

"Went here for the first time. I haven't found a good place to eat in Summerville until now. From the road this place looks like a house but the food is cooked like it was made from a loving home (hah, cheesy... Like their Philly). Everything was great. The staff was refilling cups every few minutes and were very nice. The chicken fingers, Ribeye, Philly cheesesteak, and sweet potatoe fries were cooked fresh and delicious. I don't personally care for crinkle fries, however, they were nicely cooked. Also, the steak was over cooked but still very delicious and would still order it next time. Highly recommend."

"Really great food and great service. Everyone was friendly and nice. We got the trio sampler which was a meal in itself. I appreciate the generous portions. The barbecue baked potato was really good as well. I will be returning here to try more things."

"Very cool old school hundred year old building serving up made to order grub. The cheeseburger was perfectly cooked medium (as ordered) with all the fixings. Huge portions, so come hungry. Superior and friendly service. Highly recommend. They have cocktails, bottled beer and a few taps."

"I ordered the BLT and fried mushrooms and it was perfect. Service was great. It's in a really cool old building and I'm a sucker for that. I wish they had some like steamed broccoli or cauliflower on the menu just to have a couple more healthy choices."

"Solid 4.5/5 stars, the food was mostly amazing, service was so good, server was so nice, atmosphere was outstanding and leaned a lot towards the style. Would HIGHLY recommend going here."

"Went to lunch with a Church group and we waited a very long time for our food only to get it cold. This restaurant is a very popular place to eat...very quaint...clean. The staff are very nice, but they just weren't able to handle the crowd for some unknown reason. The restaurant had been notified of the number of people attending in our group in advance. I was very disappointed in my cold popcorn shrimp and overcooked baked potato. My daughter's food was cold too. Maybe just an off day. The experience was such that I think I will wait a long while before going back for another try."
