Willow Country Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Saskatoon

Went for lunch here for the first time recently and loved everything about the experience! I’m honestly shocked I didn’t know about this gem up until this point! When I walked in, you could feel a coziness about the place immediately and the rustic characteristics of the restaurant are a beautiful touch. Spacious and well mapped out, clean and roomy, nicely decorated, soothing color scheme. Our waitress Taylor, was great about giving us a run down of the cuisine and what the specials were throughout the days of the week as it was our first ever visit. She took our orders promptly and stayed well on top of my many drink refills which is greatly appreciated haha. Taylor was very sweet, professional, and helpful. All of the things that are tough to find in the service industry these days, so she is absolutely a keeper! I ordered a beef dip which was fantastic! The beef was tender and the auju accompanied the sandwich perfectly. The fries were hot and crispy, and the gravy was spiced just right with a wonderful consistency! My mother who was with me had a Reuben sandwich and was quite pleased with her dining experience as well. And I have to say that one of the most impressive things I noticed here is that most meals, if not all on the menu, were under $20. That is almost unheard of these days when you go out and as consumers I think we can all appreciate the fair pricing. Even the cost of sodas and a side of gravy are a steal! If that’s not enough reason for people to keep coming back I don’t know what to think! The vlt’s were an exciting sight to see as well. It’s a nice touch on the bar side of the restaurant and I can see that drawing a crowd in as well. I loved my experience here and I’m going to make sure to tell everyone I know to head over to enjoy a meal and drinks! I hope to see you guys thrive in excess as...

We have been coming here for awhile. The food is always good, no complaints. As for the service ... when Alvin started working he was questionable. Then we started liking him. He was nice, polite and watched when you needed refills.

Tonight was a different story. Every time we go it's busy. He's the only server and is literally running around. Seems like nothing new. Tonight we had to ask for the bill and as we're paying he's making small talk like he usually does. Saying the sane thing he always says, the first 2 hours nobody was here and then everyone came in. He's told us this a few times. Not sure if it's his way to get tips or not.

Anyways, he's talking about the fact that there's only one cook in the back tonight and then he looks down on the machine and realizes there's no tip and he stops mid sentence and asks how the service was and walked away. No thank you for coming in it anything.

Servers need to realize that people still tip with cash! But when you act that way you will not get a tip! It is not your right as a server to expect a tip when you are just doing your job!

Get better Alvin and don't show your attitude! I think it will be awhile before we ever come again!

Where did Nadia go? We...

The day that we were there it got quite busy and the bartender came over to help the waitress. The bartender constantly berated the waitress out front with customers around. Even when the bartender found out the waitress was correct. My friend heard her apologize once. Bartender took plates out to the wrong table and she kept telling the waitress I can’t help you if you don’t even have the right table in the computer , over and over. The waitress showed her in the computer she had and they found out it was the cook who called out the wrong table number. Then the bartender looked at another order and told the waitress that the dish didn’t come with eggs over and over to the waitress not giving her a chance to explain the customer ordered a side of eggs. All the bartender was doing was flustering that poor...
