Came here due to the raving reviews about the food and I must say the Wilbury had me enticed to try it. It was SOOOO disappointing, the low and slow smoked pork was dry and almost tough to chew… nothing about it was juicy.. they’re were also no crispy onion strings just one fat onion ring… the cheese fries were decent. Did I eat it, yes, I was starving and it was eatable, but man was that disappointing. The bartenders however were GREAT, Ariel and her counterpart were very friendly and attentive. Place definitely seems like a cool spot to come visit with a group to have drinks and play pool, maybe I’ll try the wings next time instead. ♂️✌

College bar with lots to do: pool, mini-bowling, darts. Large outdoor patio. Delicious smelling food!

The place is popular, but my not my favorite. Always really busy and clique-y, not a social bar. I’d go with my friends, but I’d rarely meet new people there like other spots in town. Definitely better than the club scene since it’s a more mature crowd, strictly 21+. Kinda slow to get drinks though

Great barteneders they never miss a beat. Buffalo mac and cheese is just SUPER buffalo-y but I guess u get what you pay for haha. Wings are good. Pulled pork mac and cheese is delicious. Gremlinade is a pretty good price for what you pay ($9).

Always stop by The Wilbury when I come back in town. The Wilbury (sandwich) is a must try. Their wings are smoked and flashed fried. Absolutely love this place.

I hope the next time I’m in Tallahassee, whenever that may be, this establishment is still there. The bartenders were very courteous, the price for a beer wasn’t outrageous and I definitely ordered some of the best wings I ever had. So much so, I went back the next day just so I can get another order of wings.

The Buffalo Chicken Mac Bowl from The Wilbury is like stepping into a cheesy dream with mac so creamy it feels like a warm hug buffalo chicken smoked by Zeus himself a mysterious white sauce that might just be unicorn tears and green onions for the perfect crunch this dish will have your taste buds throwing a party like they just realized they’ve been eating sad mac their whole life 10/10 you’ll be back faster than you can say I love carbs

The burned items (they are chicken wings if you can eat them) and the pasta with Philly steak (supposed to be mac and cheese) should adequately justify the score I gave. We are very disappointed as we were considering hanging out at this bar.

Completely serendipitous lunch experience.
There I was, driving westbound on Gaines, intent on checking out that new Chinese restaurant (which I haven’t yet been to) when, ‘Lo. The neon “BBQ” in the window beckoned me to pull in – and so I did.
Not since St. Michael’s have I stepped foot in here – but I did enter through my customary door (the western entrance) and stepped up to the familiar room with an unfamiliar feel.
Because this was January 5 at 1:30 PM (school out, state workers back to workie-workie) there was NO ONE here – and so naturally, I thought it wasn’t yet open, but a very friendly bartender (Megan) made it clear they were – and pointed me to the menu.
I checked out the rear deck before ordering and spied what appeared to be a 26′ Airstream Overlander (I could be wrong) converted into a kitchen. I’ll need to go back and pay better attention – but it looked pretty cool. I do know that’s where the cooking is happening.
Uncharacteristically, I couldn’t make up my mind – so Megan did for me and I ordered “The Wilbury” – a pulled-pork sandwich with made-to-order onion rings. Very nice. Coupled with the black bean baked beans as a side, it made for an unexpectedly great lunch.
This place is WAY cooler than I am (using the term “cool” tells you, dear reader, how “cool” I must be…). I say this because generally, I’m able to size up an atmosphere and peg it to something familiar – but this place is different.
The menu is what I’d call “post-artisanal boutique” – which is to say that there’s a major culi-hipster vibe throughout the options and descriptions – and the menu items themselves are both edgy and grounded. Think “comfort food with attitude” at the core combined with push-the-limits creations at the periphery. Put it this way: I’ve never seen Dave’s Insanity Sauce highlighted as a menu-item ingredient but, sure enough, the Hellbury features it. I’m ordering that next time. I didn’t see that until AFTER Megan suggested The Wilbury.
I’ll dispense with the haughty descriptors for the sandwich – and just bottom line it with this: A very good pulled pork sammich with killer onion rings and an interesting side (black beans baked beans)
It would have NEVER occurred to me to come here for lunch, but it will occur to me moving forward.
I’m confident this place is a successful night-time scene. The kitchen is open ’til 1AM (not sure if the menu is limited – but regardless, it’s sure to please) and closing time is the expected 2AM.
Great diversions throughout the space include the pool table, Fussball, mini-bowling, shuffleboard.
Very hip. I’d go as far as even calling it hep.

Love the Wilbury, great food and atmosphere. Always a fun place to hang out and have a drink but have noticed an odd change. The bartenders have looked right past me to attend to someone who just walked up with their friends. Literally flagging the bartender who just seemed to completely ignore us.
