“ You can have really good bbq in some places and then, this. You truly pay for what you eat, an incredible meal. My son and husband love their onion rings. We could eat every week here and enjoy every dish. ”
“ We have been to Willie's multiple times and have loved everything we've had. Our teenagers favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich, but you can't go wrong with anything that has their BBQ pork. The fried mushrooms are devine, the Okra absolutely delicious. The BBQ stuffed potato was my favorite until today... We were there on Thursday and the owner mentioned that they offer brisket and sometime smoked bologna on Friday and Saturday. I LOVE a good fried bologna sandwich and let me tell you this one was AMAZING!!! The picture shows one of the 2 bologna sandwiches we ordered. The second one didn't make it home for the photo shoot . The brisket is stupendous as well. We ordered a few lbs to-go along with some sides. If you are in the area or passing through Cleveland TN I strongly recommend stopping in and trying it out. ”
“ Tonight was our first time eating there. The brisket was to die for ! The waitress was as sweet as she could be! My husband is a big slaw guy and we both agreed the slaw was fantastic!! Highly recommend! ”
“ This is some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Awesome environment and great people. The pulled pork sandwich was amazing and the ribs are some of the best I’ve ever had. Great sides and good sweet tea. Definitely will come back. ”
“ Exceeded expectations! Looks just like what it is... an old-school, no joke roadhouse. What makes this legitimate roadhouse worth the drive is the exceptional food and service. We tried a variety of vittles and they all rocked our senses. Throw in a bunch of nostalgic decor and this is a stop worth making! When a place like this makes us excited to walk in and sad to walk out... that's a special place, indeed. ”
“ We just moved here and we, first of all, love how welcoming the exterior is. So so cute! The wings were delicious but the star of the show was our server, Jacquelyn. She has the best, most helpful personality and is one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She’s studying to become a lawyer so make sure you tip her well. We need decent, logical, kind people in that position. We will be back! ”
“ We were looking for great barbecue and were not disappointed. The pork, the sides, everything was delicious. Highly recommend the hot slaw (spicy coleslaw). Service was fast and friendly and the owner stopped by our table to deliver one of his signature jokes. It was a great experience overall. This was our first visit, but we'll be regulars here. ”
“ Over all good place to grab a plate. Clean, nice service, good food!/////on another trip...do not know when or where ive had better ribs. Perfection. Ribs were so good, i dont even remember my sides....I just saw a bunch of pretty, and sweet little Ladies and went straight into rib coma. ”
