The brand is managed by Thompson Hospitality, a retail food service management company, which operates Matchbox restaurant and Big Buns Damn Good Burgers, both in Fort Lauderdale.
The 1,700-square-foot location features 26 indoor, eight outdoor, and eight bar/lounge seats. The menu features a casual style centered around seasoned fried and grilled menu items varying from Breaded Delta Catfish, to Shrimp Baskets, to Battered Cod. The standout items include the fresh Lobster Rolls and Jumbo Lump Crab Rolls; both served in 4oz and 6oz options. The Willie T’s Mixed Platter offers five Jumbo Shrimp, your choice of Breaded Catfish or Battered Cod and a side of french fries seasoned with Old Bay.
