It was nice to taste a sauce I haven’t had since the old place in the Mexican War Streets. Will be back.

The Food is horrible, Ribs were burnt and I mean burnt. They offered to replace the ribs and the 2nd slab was even worse. For $22 you minds well go to McDonald’s or make your own food.

A FOODIE’S FIND OF A DELIGHTFUL BBQ TAKEAWAY???. It’s a small, very plain and unabashed neighborhood BBQ SERVICE COUNTER.Grilling of Pork Ribs and Halved Chicken is done in front of the business. It’s apparently a small family business for decades. This their “new” location since 2019.The BBQ flavor is distinctively Southern, the founder originally came from Louisiana. —- Both ribs and chicken have a smoky aroma, and cooked to an almost charred appearance (“blackened”), very much reminiscent of NOLA and Louisiana country cooking. ???The appearance and aroma are a reflection of the in-house dry rub. Most importantly, the sauce is also made in-house… there’s a whiff of cayenne pepper ???.The veggie sides (green beans, collard / mustard greens and coleslaw) are Southern traditional.The staff are very friendly and efficient. The BBQ guy apparently is a nephew the original founder.The service counter offers some seats for customers to wait. It has a view to the prep kitchen.The hours of business is narrow noon to 4 pm, 3-4 days a week. They run out quickly so go in early ???

Vegetarian options: Not really available

Dietary restrictions: Vegetables are simply side orders

Parking: On street parking, which presumably, is free since there’s not parking meters within the immediate vicinity

Kid-friendliness: Children welcomed

Wheelchair accessibility: Doorway and service counter accommodate wheelchair

Whatever trouble they might have had at reopening has seemingly been long-fixed as we had a great experience when we went here. Their reputation for the best ribs in town is well-earned and you will not be disappointed.

Ribs are not the same. Only good thing is the sauce. Get a different name because the old guy would be ashamed!

I asked the very friendly staff: if I'm only going to eat here once, what should I get? Their answer was the ribs with greens and yams (pictured) and their hot BBQ sauce. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! The meat wasn't falling off the bone but it was succulent and delicious. Not to mention that it was being cooked right outside on the BBQ. The smell was fantastic. My only wish was they did dine-in but the food was still warm after the 15 minute walk back.

I live three blocks up from Wilsons barbecue. Sometimes you can show up at 6:30 and they do not have any food left.

Ribs were excellent, the chicken was AMAZING, and the prices were reasonable. The only thing we didn't love was the potato salad. As many other reviewers have noted, it is completely flavorless. Please just add some salt at the very least!! ??
