For a real Southern barbecue experience with fast and very friendly Southern service and excellent food, Famous Willies is the place. This is my new favorite BBQ house. Tonight I had the brisket which was flavorful and melt in your mouth quality in a generous portion. The side dish standouts were the potato salad and Willies chili beans, which were the best I’ve had in years. Washed it all down with sweet tea and I just had to try a slice of the made daily Buttermilk Pie. Turned out to be a very good decision. I’ve never tasted anything like it. Got talking with Julie, and she explained that her father started the restaurant and that everything is made fresh on the premises. The smokehouse is out back. Even the lard rendered from some of the cuts is used by her mother to make fresh pie crusts each morning, with different type of pie everyday. If you like Texas BBQ you’ll love this place. The service was outstanding, attentive and quick. I legitimately have nothing negative to report. 5+ stars

Best smoked meat ever ! Great value. Friendly informative staff. They have a smoke house out back – How much more authentic does it get ? If you love smoked and southern food that is homemade then this is a must to try. Take out and dine in (sits maybe 20 inside plus a few outside tanles). Smoke house in pic

The food here was absolutely amazing! I’ve not had good BBQ since I was last in Texas and this rates right up there with some of the better ones! The value is excellent for what you get, and families can come in and share meals easily! The walls are plastered with pictures of different “Willie’s”. My dinner companion was William Clark.

Man. Best BBQ in the whole northwest! That Cajun sausage was amazing! The cowboy stuffed potato was the perfect meal. I got it with brisket and that meat was so tender and perfect. And the waitress… .Emma. . Sweetest and most gorgeous server in town. Best service ever. All in all the experience was a perfect 10, a five star review for sure.

Honestly with no hard feelings I was rather underwhelmed. The brisket had very little smoke flavor it and was also very dry, under seasoned, and served barely warm. The chicken breast was also dry but the drumstick was decent. the two “spicy” sauces they had that were home made (jalapeno, Cajun) tasted more like ketchup than anything else. Best part about the meal was the Frito pie. The service was very good and attentive, but the food left something to be desired for a Famous BBQ spot.

We walked in and they had 2 tables left, it looks like about 7-8 tables total. It seemed like a busy little “hole in the wall” type place. This was our first time, quick trip in the area and googled nearby places to get a bite to eat. We are fans of good BBQ but not commercialized restaurants with pre-made/packaged sides. We had great service! We were greeted by the waitress (the only waitress) when we walked in and she let us know she would be right with us. She was quick and the back house was very quick. I’d say less than 10 minutes before a table of four got their food and ours right after. The food was great though the meat could use a little more smoke. It seemed to only be nice and Smokey on the crispy ends, was a bit dry but BBQ sauce fixes that We liked the variety of BBQ sauce options. The mild was pretty sweet so I mixed together the Mild and Cattleman’s. The coleslaw and potato salad were great, I liked the touch of radish in the slaw and that the potato salad was homemade and had its own unique taste. We will definitely be back if we ever are in that area again. I recommend giving them a try!
