The food was amazing. Though there are a few things that could be fixed. The garlic fries are inconsistent. Mine had a ton of garlic where my boyfriend’s did not. I couldn’t even tell he ordered garlic fries honestly. And the plow boy sandwich had hardly any brisket and maybe one onion ring. Other than that I have no complaints. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Keep driving and don't stop with this place. This is going to be a harsh review. So I decided after three years of driving by to try this place and wow, what a disappointment. I ordered their famous "Plow Boy" and a couple of beef ribs to go to sample what they have. I could already feel disappointment when I was handed the bag and it felt like nothing was in the bag for $32 plus tip. I opened the container with the two beef ribs ($16!) and was met with the overpowering smell of burnt plastic (not from the container) and tried a little nibble of the meat and it tasted like chemicals and burnt plastic. Completely inedible. I also noted that there was virtually NO meat on the ribs and what little there was was burned to a crisp. Now the sandwich, I partially dissected half of it to taste the pastrami and brisket but couldn't find any brisket! What was there was completely underwhelming and nothing close to an enjoyable sandwich. The fries were cold and soggy. I called the store and spoke to a gentleman who was pleasant on the phone and listened to what I said about my meal and said they "would make it right" and remake my meal the next time I was there. He said he was making note of the offer. A few days later I stopped by and explained my situation to the one person working and she seemed perplexed at my story. Supposedly no evidence was found of my meal remake and the manager was 30 minutes late coming to work so several calls were made to find out what to do with my meal remake. 20 minutes later she got the approval to remake my meal and what did I get? The same awful sandwich with no brisket, no fries (what happened to my fries?), and two beef ribs devoid of any edible meat albeit not as plasticy tasting but still have an odd chemical flavor. I tried removing the meat from the bone and had about 2 ounces of meat (see pics) which would be $8 an ounce or $128 a pound!)m. The sandwich was no better with salty dry pastrami, salty bacon and no signs of brisket. It was awful. Between the food and the service on the second visit I'm pretty sure I will continue driving past this place.

OMG this is some of the best BBQ I've had so far in my life! I open the carton and it first looked kinda dry til I picked some off the sandwich n put it in my mouth. Juicy deep pit beef sandwich with a really good lightly toasted, soft (sourdough?) roll. Came with some good fries and pretty good BBQ sauce on the side. It's really good with some mustard too. It's shredded beef, so no annoying chunks came out of the sandwich and i love that. I think it would be great with some slaw on it next time. AND TO THE PATRONS WHO DONT TIP THEIR SUPER NICE WAITRESSES.....? no words. Very nice people.

Amazing and kind team here! Some great service, and family feel! We were happy to discover this spot, and it will surely be one of our go to CA road-trip spots. We got the Willow cheeseburger, and the shredded bbq chicken on a French roll. We did regular fries and garlic fries. Everything was good! Bbq chicken and garlic fries were great in fact! The bbq sauce is tasty! The burger was solid, and reminded us of a great school lunch burger. Simple, and solid with fresh ingredients. I have an allergy. This required our burger to have the special sauce on the side (so my partner could enjoy…). We chatted with the server, and she was awesome and understanding. In the rush of the kitchen, they forgot about the request, and they put the sauce on the burger. If I wasn’t allergic, we would have just eaten it…but we asked for replacement so I could eat it. The server and hostess team were awesome. Very helpful, understanding, and prompt in remedying the issue. Do not be turned off by the directions to exit the 5 to another highway; the restaurant is just off the 5 like a normal exit! Also, don’t be discouraged by the rougher road and parking lot…the restaurant is clean, welcoming, and charming. There is an outdoor patio which is great too! Dog and kid friendly!

Great food, cooked and seasoned well. Portions are good for travelers. The place is clean and next to I-5 for those who travel. The only complaint is the flies but that's a Buttonwillow issue. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
