A FOODIE’S FIND OF A DELIGHTFUL BBQ TAKEAWAY . It’s a small, very plain and unabashed neighborhood BBQ SERVICE COUNTER.
Grilling of Pork Ribs and Halved Chicken is done in front of the business. It’s apparently a small family business for decades. This their “new” location since 2019.
The BBQ flavor is distinctively Southern, the founder originally came from Louisiana. —- Both ribs and chicken have a smoky aroma, and cooked to an almost charred appearance (“blackened”), very much reminiscent of NOLA and Louisiana country cooking.
The appearance and aroma are a reflection of the in-house dry rub. Most importantly, the sauce is also made in-house… there’s a whiff of cayenne pepper .
The veggie sides (green beans, collard / mustard greens and coleslaw) are Southern traditional.
The staff are very friendly and efficient. The BBQ guy apparently is a nephew the original founder.
The service counter offers some seats for customers to wait. It has a view to the prep kitchen.
The hours of business is narrow noon to 4 pm, 3-4 days a week. They run out quickly so go in early

I asked the very friendly staff: if I’m only going to eat here once, what should I get? Their answer was the ribs with greens and yams (pictured) and their hot BBQ sauce. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! The meat wasn’t falling off the bone but it was succulent and delicious. Not to mention that it was being cooked right outside on the BBQ. The smell was fantastic. My only wish was they did dine-in but the food was still warm after the 15 minute walk back.

All in all I thought the ribs were great and I would definitely come back. I guess you could say they were a tad chewy, but the flavor is all there and they are very meaty. Some of the best pork ribs i’ve had in the area. I think they should work on a better system in regards to taking orders as I noticed a lot of people waiting around, but they just re-opened so give ‘em a chance. I’ve never been to the old location, but I would most definitely come back here. Support your local businesses!

As I approached the restaurant, my nose was drawn to the smell of the ribs and chicken being smoked. I quickly noticed a line of north sider’s happy to see the business reopened and waiting to satisfy their taste buds as well.
Even with the opening day excitement, I was pleased and enjoyed some amazing chicken. Unfortunately for me, my kids devoured the ribs but the sauce was unbelievably good. Along with the savory greens. Oh I’m glad I asked for a side of sauce, whoa!
My follow up visit was just as satisfying and my wait time was smoother the second go round. On another note, I thought some of the prices were relatively low for a few of the dishes. Get there before somebody notices!

Saw the reopening reviews , decided to wait a week or two for them to get the kinks out. Let me tell you -best idea ever!!! Not sure what everyone was talking about, but this is the SAME Wilson’s. Took the whole family, I had greens, potato salad and ribs . Kids had chicken and various sides , super saucy/super cheap for a family of 4. Highly recommend! Love how you can see them use wood fire grill to cook your food the old fashion way! Will be back!

The best tasting ribs and sauce I have ever had! Greens and mac n cheese were fantastic too. Service was fast, friendly and enjoyed conversations with other patrons. I’m gonna be back real soon, especially when the brisket is ready.

Excellent ribs. Well better than I can really describe here. Perfectly grilled ribs topped with tasty sauce. Definitely will be a regular customer here. Reasonable prices and friendly service.

Ribs were excellent, the chicken was AMAZING, and the prices were reasonable. The only thing we didn’t love was the potato salad. As many other reviewers have noted, it is completely flavorless. Please just add some salt at the very least!!

My ribs were chewy and a little tough. I had to put mine in the oven with a pan of water to soften them up. I was disappointed because Years ago when they were open, the ribs were Delicious! For the amount of people behind the counter service was slow, and they forgot to put bbc sauce on our other order. I hope they get it together soon.

The food was terrible!! It was nothing like Old Wilson’s BBQ on North Taylor Street where they used a smoker pit with a big door and ribs and chicken were smoked for hours and they would sell out practically everyday. The New Wilson’s BBQ used open grills with no lids. They ribs were tough and I had to bake them in the oven for another hour.
The chicken was a little dry. The sides
we’re awful the macaroni cheese was dry and tasteless, the green beans had vinegar mixed in and tasted terrible.
They had no potato salad or greens.
I waited in line for one hour and 30 minutes. It was a waste of time and money. I spent $39 dollars.
It was so disappointing!!
It could have been better if they used a Good Consulting Firm and incorporated the side Food Preparation.
