Get in loser, we're eating crawfish 💅
$8.99/lb or $30 for 5 lbs because math is mathing in your favor today.
Lemons, butter, cold beer, and a pile of mudbugs the size of your last bad decision. Bring your appetite and a friend who knows how to peel.
Find the Lego man, tag a friend, and you're both entered to win a $50 gift card 🧱

It's been 84 years… 🚢
…or really just a few weeks, but who's counting. Our account took an unscheduled hiatus earlier this year and we never got to announce all the Lego man winners we owed. We see you. We remember. And we have the receipts.
Over the next few weeks we're announcing every single winner until every gift card is in the right hands. Some solo shoutouts, some group drops — keep an eye on the feed because your name might pop up.
Thanks for hanging with us through the great social media blackout. You're our person 🧱
Kicking things off with our first two winners 🧱
found the Lego man and tagged — y'all both win a $50 gift card.
found him and tagged — $50 gift cards for both of you too.
DM us to claim 💌
Find the Lego man, tag a friend, and you're both entered to win a $50 gift card. One tag per comment — tag as many friends as you want (on separate comments) for more chances.

🦞 Crawfish season is in full effect at Willie's — and so is The Lego Man Contest.
We hid him in this photo. Actually... we hid TWO this time. 👀
Think you can find both? Here's your shot at a $50 Willie's Gift Card:
👉 Spot a Lego Man → tag a friend in the comments where you found him → that's one entry. Tag as many different friends as you want — every tag is another entry, and there's no limit to how many cards you can win.
If your comment gets picked, YOU and the friend you tagged BOTH win. 🎉
This one's trickier than usual. We're not sorry. 😂
Full rules posted on the Rules graphic in our feed. Good luck! 🤠

Tables waiting
Good times guaranteed
Come get messy with us and make it a crawfish kind of day

So remember when I said I might get fired for giving away too many gift cards… Good news… my boss didn’t fire me 😂 Bad news… Facebook suspended us instead
FOR SOMETHING WE DIDN'T EVEN DO
We appealed it, they said it was their bad… and then still made us sit in timeout
So while I was over here BEHAVING… We missed our Lego Man giveaways AND I still owe y’all the gift cards I already promised. Yeah… let's fix that.
LEGO MAN IS BACK 🧱🔥
Find him
Tag your people
1 tag = 1 entry
No limits
New Lego man contest winners will get $50 rewards in our Willie's Rewards app. We’re picking multiple winners AND I’m still honoring the gift cards from before
Also… while all this was going on…
Leander is officially OPEN
1412 Bright Lane Leander, TX 78641
So yeah
We’re back
We’ve got some catching up to do
And my boss is definitely watching this one… just making sure I don’t go too crazy 😅
Good luck 👀

🎯 Time’s almost up to find LEGO MAN!
We’ve hidden two little LEGO Men across our posts this year — it’s our own version of Where’s Waldo, but with cowboy hats and gift cards up for grabs.
Here’s how it works 👇
🔹 Scroll through our posts and spot the LEGO Man
🔹 Tag a friend in the comments where you find him
🔹 Each tag = one entry (and yep, you can enter as many times as you want — just tag different friends each time)
In January, we’ll randomly pick winners from both Facebook and Instagram.
If your comment gets picked, you and the friend you tagged each win a $50 Willie's Gift Card 💳
There’s no limit to how many cards you can win — so start scrolling, tagging, and stacking up those entries!
