Welcome
to Bone Heads, the treasure of Willis! Our name is new, but the
restaurant has a rich heritage. We continue to serve a fine
selection of sandwiches, steaks, seafood and, of course, our famous
(and additive) pickle chips. We’ve also added our own unique and
delicious slow roasted, hickory smoked barbeque to the menu.
| We’re a place where neighbors and friends gather for dinner, drinks and conversation. Don’t be surprised if they welcome you to their table. We promise you won’t return a stranger, whether you dine in the restaurant or relax in our cozy pub. | ![]() |

does move slower here in Willis, a village formerly established in 1887
with the arrival of the Wabash railroad. The original clapboard
station burned down in 1904, and its replacement, a smaller structure,
survived well into the mid-20th century. The community, though,
long preceded the railroad. Willis traces its roots to land
purchases made between 1825 and 1835 and is named after one of the
original landholders, Willis Potter. |
![]() Not much has changed along the village’s main street and descendants of those early families still reside here. Trains pass by every day, and as you wait for your meal, you just might hear the roar. And if the building shakes, that’s just the train. Any other strange sounds you hear can be attributed to our resident ghost or ghosts. | |
