I go there often, and the food and service is always the same, amazing. We are very lucky to have a establishment like this in Hillman City.

Very affordable and great tasting food. We got the ribs, brisket, yams, collard greens, cole slaw, and mac & cheese. The meat was so tender and veggies were cooked perfectly. The mac & cheese was cooked perfectly and had nice crispy cheese bits too. We also got the peach cobbler and it was very tasty as well. We'll definitely be going again!

Happy to have some delicious bbq around the corner! Everything was so flavorful, especially the meat (and tender!). And that Mac n cheese is something else, the Mac wasn't overcooked at all and the cheese was giving toasty grilled cheese vibes. We will definitely be back!!

I came here trying to figure out what happened. The brisket I had was like rubber. Good flavor but just nothing like I've ever had. It needs to be served with a steak knife. How any reviewer could say it fell off the bone is so confusing. I don't know if I just got a rough and inconsistent batch or what, but this was not something I want to repeat.

Delicious food at this joint. My family and I sampled the brisket, collard greens and cornbread. I'm excited to go back and support local. Thank you for sharing Miss Emma's legacy with us✊❤️💜🩵

Wow! I normally don't take time to post a review. But I have to this time. The food is sooo delicious. I love it, recommend it, and I'm definitely coming back. I tried the slice beef, greens, beans, and cornbread. The beef is tender and juicy. Great food. Reminded me of home, Atlanta, GA.

Ordered the 4 play, online.

Ribs, chicken, pulled pork, brisket. Beans & potato salad. Cornbread.

What I got, bbq. Good, solid, wish I could cook it half that well at home. Different flavor profiles from others I have had around PNW. Should be the case, this is Emma's house. Emma's rules.

Brisket, well flavored, easily consumed.
Ribs, nice bark, barely hanging on the bone, good sized.
Chicken well seasoned.
Pulled Pork was great with or with sauce.

And the blackberry lemonade? Yum!

I recommend heartily.

First time visit to Emma’s on 19 June. Upon arrival we were told they only had sides available and meats would be ready in 30 minutes.
Ordered chicken & brisket sandwich, Mac & cheese and potato salad. The chicken was very dry & brisket was chopped into little pieces and was dry. Sides were ok. Not a fan of Emma’s.
