Reviews For Willie Mae's BBQ

My husband and I ate lunch here on a whim, the other day. It was seriously so delicious! The food was incredibly flavorful and smokey, and you get grat portions! My husband and I ate on our leftovers a few times! The service was friendly and quick, and there were two huge windows that made it seem like you're sitting outside. We think this is the bbq spot we have in Springfield and will absolutely be back!

My wife and I had a terrific lunch here recently. The place was super clean and the staff was awesome. The barbecue brisket nachos and lunch brisket with macaroni and cheese, baked bean sides, and Texas toast were all delicious. They have lots of other things, too! We had sweet tea because it was lunch time, but they have a collection of beers and such as well. Definitely give this place a try - we're certainly going to return soon!

Excellent BBQ. They do it right, dry rub with hickory. Everything is fall off the bone tender, and the sausage is excellent. Multiple different BBQ sauces for the the yankees to choose from. They just opened a new room with beer on tap. And don't skip on the dessert.

The brisket was so tender and juicy. The flavor profile was perfect. For sides we had the green beans and macaroni and cheese. They have sweet cornbread. They were good, but nothing to rave about. The ribs were on point!!!! Fall off the bone and fingerlicking good. They were cooked to perfection. Portions were generous. The place was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Low lighting. Restrooms were clean. Service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back. Parking was easy, but backing back out of the parking dpace took some patience.

This place is so great. Exactly what Springfield needs. Get you some top of the line smoked pulled pork and grab a beer while you’re at it. The staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable. Atmosphere is excellent! Play some pool or some golden tee! Thanks Willie Mae’s!

These were some of the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life. Willy Mae’s has made it to where I will pass heavy judgement on every other rib from now on. Thank you Willy Mae’s! You are a credit to your culinary craft!
