Guest Reviews
The best Ribeye in two states!! It comes out swimming in juice. Cooked perfectly! My husband had the stuffed shrimp. Warehouse Willy’s is one of our favorite places to go to! Staff is always friendly and fast service. (Hard to see the beauty of the good because of the neon lightning. )
Great experience. Food was good, waitress friendly and informative. Cool environment with lots of character. Varied menu and I'd return anytime I was in the area.
Great atmosphere! Beautiful drive from Greenwood! Good food fairly priced. Attentive and friendly servers!
Amazing steak. I had the Ribeye medium rare. Grilled vegetables were great. Wish you could have substituted baked potato for the gumbo. All the staff that I interacted with were very friendly. The sweet tea was not weak flavored like some places , and just the right sweetness. Highly recommended place. Update 11/22/25. Went again this past week and got another excellent ribeye. Cooked just right and had the baked potato and salad. Everyone was friendly even though i came in shortly before closing. Another great meal.
We were not very hungry but wanted to try Warehouse Willy's. We each had a bowl of Gumbo (OMG!! DELICIOUS!!!) and we shared an appetizer of Mud Bugs. I have a food allergy, addressed it with our waitress and she was VERY accommodating. I can't wait till we can go back so I can enjoy more of their delicious eats . The atmosphere was wonderful and decor was entertaining. We will definitely go back.
What a fun place! We stopped in for lunch and were delighted with the food, service and atmosphere. Will drop in again the next time we are in Poteau. The cheese sticks were excellent, my son’s steak perfect and the chicken baked potato was delicious. Everything came out hot and well seasoned.
Amazing experience! Coming from New Orleans I wasn't expecting much when I saw gumbo listed as a side with most entrees; however, it was pretty good. The steak I ordered was properly salted and cooked right on medium rare. Service was also amazingly timely and quite friendly. I also love the decorations and the place itself has very much a unique aura which makes it a good overall experience.
I visited Warehouse Willy’s tonight for a solo dinner, and the experience was excellent. My server, Joy (if I caught her name correctly), was friendly, attentive, and fast. The ribeye was cooked perfectly-juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The sides, including the salad, baked potato, and Texas toast, were all delicious. I also ordered a coconut rum and Coke, and the bartender deserves credit because it was mixed beautifully. Prices run a bit high, but the quality of the food and service makes it well worth it.
