Amazing place - love the food! Always an easy time ordering online. One of my favorite places to eat in Highwood!

Absolutely amazing flavors and cuisine. I even went back for seconds. Coming here was totally worth the trip. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to locals and outsiders alike. Brian, the owner lives up to his charismatic character as displayed on Hells Kitchen, and it was an absolute pleasure too meet him in person. Definitely my new favorite eatery on the North Shore

Just picked up dinner for 10. Ribs, chicken, corn, Mac n cheese, and a amazing salad! I will be ordering from here again!

I ordered the Thanksgiving “All Done” package and it did not disappoint! My entire family enjoyed the meal (which heated up very nicely) and my mom said it was the best Thanksgiving dinner she’s ever had- and she was the one in charge of cooking for so many years. ? My son had a third helping of everything and there really wasn’t much leftover. I will absolutely order this again and I look forward to the next holiday menu!

People, this place is special! If you’ve passed by the crisply painted, friendly little black and white storefront in in Highwood, but you haven’t tried the food yet, this is a public service announcement: pull into the parking lot and grab some deliciousness! It’s the best barbecue place in town, perhaps in Lake County. Yeah, I said it. The chef/owner (a tremendous dude with a good vibe) begins with high quality ingredients and riffs from there with great flavors, solid and consistent cooking techniques, and thoughtful packaging - ribs are served in a bag, so no messy or slippery tearing-the-flesh-off a rack of bones like at Medieval Times; the possum pie is presented in a sweet little glass jar. Is your mouth watering now? If you’re down for lunch, dinner or even a specialevent that needs catering, and you want the food to feels like it was cooked with the secret ingredient (LOVE), I am recommending Papa Willie’s without hesitation.

Delicious!! Great owner, really nice to talk with, ribs & wings were outstanding. The blue cornbread is like a wonderful corncake and the Mac & cheese was on point.

It's a shame, probably ribs in the area and previously they were incredibly conscientious but when I went to pick up my order the owner, the girl packing and bagging the food and some cooks were not masked. Huge turn off. I won't be returning.

I'm addicted to their ribs, that sweet and smoky flavor has me hooked!

Brian does an awesome job. Makes you feel like part of the community
Outstanding food, with outstanding customer service! The wings are my favorite, and the ranch is so good you can take shots of it. Try it.
Amazing catered meal! Wow! Delicious food, amazing service!!! A crowd pleaser!
Consistently great tasting and quality meals
Nice family running the business. Chicken was ok , nothing special. The ribs a little chewy . Sides selection is too limited
