September is National Chicken Month! Strut on over to Willhoite’s and take a bite out of Willhoite’s Chicken Plate. This charbroiled boneless chicken breast is topped with melty cheese, diced tomatoes and scallions, and served with a cup of hickory sauce. This entrée includes a trip to our Model-T salad bar, a delicious soup of the day, Texas toast, and your choice of mashed potatoes or homestyle fries.

Now, that’s worth squawking about. 🐓

Historic Grapevine. Legendary Fun.

Welcome to Grapevine and its historic Main Street! Willhoite’s is one of the oldest buildings in the city and most unique restaurant in Texas. Where else will you find a 1927 Model T Ford on an antique hydraulic lift atop the buffet station?

Built in 1913, this building first served as a department store and was used for a time as a silent movie theater. In 1919, it was transformed into Willhoite Garage, the first full-service automotive station in Grapevine. It was named for Andrew Willey Willhoite, who along with his business partner, Bart H. Starr, opened the garage. In 1936, Andrew Willhoite’s son, Ted, joined the business and operated it until 1975 when he retired. It was then used as a furniture warehouse until 1980.

Grapevine native Phil Parker purchased the building in 1980 and renovated it into Willhoite's Restaurant & Galleria, with retail shops occupying a portion of the lower and upper levels. The restaurant became successful and eventually encompassed the entire building, adding a private dining room, pool tables and administrative offices to the upper level. In 2017, the building’s front entrance was restored to its original appearance.

From the beginning, Phil Parker and his son, Eric, have been committed to restoring the building authentically as possible and keeping many aspects of the automotive shop. Willhoite’s pays tribute to its long-standing roots in the city with original brick walls and ceiling; a gas pump outside the front entrance; historical photos, signs and memorabilia; and a buffet station that is mounted with a 1927 Model T Ford on an original hydraulic lift that was used in the garage! Where diners eat now are the former wash rack, oil storage area, and next to the indoor kerosene pump.
