I was introduced to this location from a TikTok post and figured I’d try it out for my son’s first taste of ribs.
I’m so glad I did because now he loves ribs! And he’s one of THE pickiest eaters I know. The ribs came of the bone with ease and he raved on about how good the fries were (and trust me, he knows fries ).
I myself enjoyed the Wacky Wednesday Pulled Chicken Sandwich (thank you Heather for informing me about the deal because I was truly only getting my son something until I heard. Figured I might as well try a bit of BBQ myself then). The smoke in both meats is a welcomed delight and I mixed a sweet and a spicier sauce for my sandwich, added the pickled red onion, and the pickles of course…..DELICIOUS! Not to mention the cornbread is on point. I only got a taste because my son loved it ao much.
The establishment itself has a lovely homey feel and when we walked in we were greeted with the kindness of a friend and I wanted to say, thank you, truly. I just recently relocated back to Fredericksburg from TX, and it’s refreshing to feel that southern hospitality again.
We’ll definitely be back.
The service was awesome and the food came out quick. It was quiet inside the restaurant but we could tell that everyone at the outside bar were having a great time celebrating the 4th with live music!
Our waitress was friendly and helpful as we were only in town for the day.
One quick look at the menu and I knew I wanted the Mac and cheese with brisket. My wife ordered sliders, which would allow her to sample the pork, chicken and beef.
The food was fantastic! I thought the Mac and cheese was an exceptional dish , creamy cheesy goodness with a touch of smokiness. The brisket was excellent and I was able to try all of the four BBQ sauces on the table. I chose Cole slaw as a side and thought it was above average slaw.
The sliders were also excellent with the various sauces and the french fries were perfect. We’re sometimes amazed at how often we end up with mediocre fries at restaurants, but not these.
Factor in great service and sitting in a beautiful older home and our visit to Billiken’s was a 5 star visit in every way.
Setting it all up was super easy, and Misty and Ashlie were wonderful to work with. They made the whole process stress-free and were great communicators from start to finish.
I spent a lot of time researching places in the Fredericksburg area that could host 50 people, had a cool building, and wouldn’t break the bank—and nothing else even came close to what Billikens offers. The space was perfect for a holiday party and had such a fun, welcoming vibe.
I highly recommend Billikens Smokehouse if you’re planning an event or just want great food and great people. We’d absolutely do it all over again!
