We've been going to Smokin' Willie's everywhere they've been. Wayland's food is always on point, and this visit was no exception. Expanded standard menu, great sides, great work on the bbq. I got the Moose Platter with tips, 3 bones, 3 wings, and a catfish fillet. Ribs were the best I've had in a long time, and the catfish was so good I got another sandwich to go. Always get mac/cheese, wings, and fries, and if they have greens get them too. Ask for the spicy sauce, get a cold beer, and have some of the best bbq in town.

The workers were nice, make sure everything was taken care of at our table, and even want a little out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food is what did it for me though.. the brisket just melted in your mouth, and the barbecue nachos were to die for!! By far the best barbecue nachos I've had. The vibes there were amazing they have like these neon signs and light music so you can still have conversation at your table I will honestly say I will be back.

Smoking Willies is an amazing place where you can just sit, relax, and vibe with the atmosphere. It's all jazzed up with the smell of barbecue everywhere and it makes your taste buds want to dance. The owners are pretty cool too. They come out and talk with you and ask how your days been. That's pretty cool. I'd suggest that if you're going to try something and you've never been in there you should really get a slab. Wayland Really knows his way around some barbecue. It's slap yo mama good!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️. They also have a chill gambling room, as well as night club in the back. I've never been able to indulge into the shenanigans at night there, but I have heard they have some of the best local and non-local bands there along with a different variety of genres.

Very tender and tasty BBQ chicken and brisket! Friendly service, too. They said the chef is working on new menu items all the time. Really glad we went here for dinner.

First time eating here. My daughter was with me and her and her fiancée were here before and loved it and she wanted me to try it. The food was amazing and service impeccable. Definitely recommend eating here. They have a huge banquet room with a stage for a band and private bar for rental. There's a game room as well. Decor was very warm feeling.

Had the full rack of ribs! Was great! Gal behind the bar was awesome. If I ever blow through from California again I'd stop and eat.

Had a nice lunch at Willie's. The brisket was excellent, the slaw was fine but nothing to write home about, and service was excellent!

This place is more than just a classic barbecue restaurant with mini barbecue options and a friendly staff you are sure to find the right plate for yourself not to mention it is very affordable but you let me know what you think

The food was good but lacked amenities. The menu is a postcard, showing what they have but no prices. You have to ask the price on each item you’re interested in. The full bar has no draft beer, only bottles and cans. Salt & pepper is tiny paper packets. The most surprising is no bbq sauce option in a bbq restaurant. You get a tiny condiment cup with bbq sauce and ketchup. No choices. We can find good bbq at a full service restaurant for the same price. The score doesn’t match our disappointment.
