Joe Willy’s

Ages ago, I was a frequent visitor of Joe Willy’s on Greenville. Many burgers were eaten, many buckets of beer were consumed, many sports were viewed, many good times were had. You get the point. I have no idea if this Joe Willy’s is related to that Joe Willy’s but it’s the reason I bookmarked this spot.
Here’s the breakdown:
~You order at the counter (including a meat doneness preference — I dig), give your name and saddle up to the condiment bar when your name is called. I really like the condiment bar manner of burger assembly. If you like to put it on your burger, they have it. Iceberg or romaine, 2 types of pickles, tomatoes, red onions, mayo, ketchup, mustard and I also remember seeing soup pots with gravy and maybe BBQ and something else (sorry I didn’t pay closer attention) if that’s your thing.
~Burgers come in a ½lb or 1/​3lb option and lemme tell ya, the 1/​3lb burger is a meaty beast. The burgers have a decent flavor and enough of a charred exterior to be called grilled, or at least flat grilled.
~This isn’t Keller’s cheap but who is, other than Keller’s? You’ll spend a good $ 20 for 2 burgers, 2 sides and 2 drinks.
~The fry/​ring combo basket is stupidly big. I’m not even sure 2 people could consume the whole thing. Order at your own risk or share with the table next to you. The good news is the onion rings were flaky, crispy onion ringy perfection. No soggy onions that fall out of the batter when you take a bite, no hard-​on-​the-​outside, gooey-​on-​the-​inside batter that has more crunch than taste. These onion rings just shot to the top of my list of best rings. And I’m a picky onion ringer.
~The ambiance is made for families, which is pretty perfect to me. The space is much bigger than it looks and there are a couple of different rooms to sit in with many options of tables or booths. Yes, it’s in a strip mall but that doesn’t faze me a bit nor does it change the flavor of the burgers.
~The staff, made up of mostly teenage girls, were all pleasant and kept the place clean and organized.
There’s nothing fancy about Joe Willy’s and that’s just how I like it. A good burger with the local crowd is all I need.

Living in Texas kinda makes you a burger or brisket afficinado by proxy, but after 20 years of cooking food for customers, I’ve learned a thing or two about the food industry.
This establishment is doing burgers right. Walk up order what you want… I ordered the half pound with cheddar with a basket of fries. It took about 10 minutea of waiting and my name was called. I picked up my order and proceeded to the fixin’s bar…
The bar was clean and tidy with a large selection of toppings, including the traditional burger toppings as well as some more non-​typical, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and jalapenos for me.
The burger was medium-​rare as requested, and the bun was very durable (lasted theoughout till the last bite). It was well made, tasted great and the staff was awesome. The fries are homemade and well done.
Highly recommended… for a great burger at a great price with a cozy atmosphere.

Great Food! Great Servers! All around great place to eat!

We all ordered the burgers since everyone raved about them & all 5 of us agreed not to go back. Not worth it!

Great place for burgers! They are big and juicy and you put what you want on them at the condiment station. They have great fries too! Love all the pictures of the kids on the walls!

Great food. Fun ambiance. Condiments bar is fresh and always stocked. Gorgeous staff. Triple Thumbs up!

the food is great and has a very friendly, family-​oriented atmosphere. this business is very active within the community and hosts all kinds of events for kids and adults alike. they are a little pricey, but it is worth what you pay for.

I love the fried mushrooms! This burger spot is very good and I highly recommend them. The food is yummy yummy. I also like that they are constantly supporting the community and allowing fundraisers.

Found this place driving through Rockwall. Service was friendly & food was excellent. I admit I’m a food snob– if I’m paying for it, it should be good enough for me to want to return. I also enjoying cooking, so I’m particular. It’s been quite awhile since an onion ring made an impression on me! Light, flaky, not excessively greasy and onions were fresh– I could tell by the flavor. The burgers were cooked to order– the medium well I ordered was actually medium well. Great job, Joe Willy’s! I’ll drive 2 hours to come back!

I’m giving it a 5 on what I have eaten here. Food is cooked to order and comes out pretty fast and as ordered. The wings were on point and not small. The burger was cooked medium rare as ordered and was bigger than the bun. The chicken fingers are good size. A must order is the onion rings if you like them. The chicken salad is huge. Prices are ok but for the amount of food it’s worth it.

Yum! Pass this place a lot but never stopped. Great wings. Fun atmosphere. Great staff. Kids loved it too.

Neat place. Tons of seating. Burgers and wings and some other American offerings. Whoever said these are the best onion rings, YES. Flour and buttermilk breading on a huge sweet onion slice. Fried pickles not great – due to the pickles, not the amazing breading. I had the boneless buffalo wings, and even though they were insufficiently tossed in sauce, the quality of the chicken was very good and that sauce was tasty. Fries were good. Overall, I’d say this place is better to visit than a Chapp’s, but I didn’t taste the burger. They looked underwhelming. Just try it and see what you think. They have ice cream, too, as well as (oddly) a bunch of candy laid out in cases like at Putt Putt.

I love Joe Willies for their Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, fries and onion rings. I don’t think I have ever tried anything else. It had been a long time since I’ve been here and I’ve had much better Philly sandwiches since then. I still give them 5 stars though since it’s still a great sandwich, their onion rings and fries are still incredible, and the service and restaurant are still incredible. I’ve also had their fried mushrooms and they are fresh and done right. Will need to start taking the kids here.

We love joe willys! Really good food! We always get the fried mushrooms and onion rings. I like to get the fried chicken breast plate. They also have an ice cream parlor for dessert.

Love love love Joe Willys! The girls are friendly who work there. I grew up in this town and live far from it now. Every time I come home I crave a burger from here and make a point to stop by. The food is like home cooking. It is a relaxed country like atmosphere. The wait times for your order isn’t too long 10 – 15 mins. And they have traditional ice cream cones to top off desert.

JOE WILLY’S ONION RINGS ARE THE BEST! I know I say that every time but they really are! Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and the line was all the way to the door by the time we left. In spite of all the other burger places here in Rockwall, this place does a great business because they offer quality delicious burgers without breaking your wallet (are you paying attention Snuffer’s with your $ 9.50 burgers??).
If you’re not counting calories, be sure to check out their hand spun milkshakes! Their peanut butter milk shakes are pure heaven!!!
The other reason I love supporting Joe Willy’s is because they’re family oriented and they are HUGE community supporters. Every time the local high school hosts a track meet, Joe Willy’s steps up and donates food. They also allow school organizations and families with debilitating medical expenses to hold fundraisers events. When I’m in the mood for a burger, Joe Willy’s will get my business every time!

Definitely going back. We found out about it from Rockwall Stingerettes since my daughter is on the team and its good. Really busy the night we went but fast service for the amount in our party.

Greatest place to eat at in Rockwall!
Service is amazing! Everyone is friendly and kind.
Amazing family place, Christian owned.
