Best WLM Reviews

Tried for the first time. Will definitely go back. The pulled pork and brisket sandwiches were great. Never had apple coleslaw before, loved it. Will definitely go back. Liked the casual order at the windows and semi outdoor sitting. Screened in area.
We visited on a day when our friends from Nature Transformed were having a pop up event. They recommended having a bite to eat and OMG. We were blown away. Best BBQ ever. We will be returning.
One of the best BBQ joints I’ve been to. My buddy who was with me said his ribs rivaled Texas BBQ. The brisket sandwich was great, as was the sausage and spicy mac n’ cheese.
Can't say enough good things about this place. Always packed out right at opening time so come early.
First off service is excellent. You can't beat a place that has a family ran restaurant, and you can tell they are there to make sure everything is just right for you and they are having a good time while doing so.
We've been a couple times in the last few weeks since they opened up the building right across from Crownline on 37.
The meat is always tender and not dry at all.
The brisket is the go to meat here as it's nicely trimmed with just enough fat on it and a wide smoke ring on the meat.
Burnt ends are excellent but be aware if you haven't had them before, they are sauced liberally so it's like sweet meat candy.
I'm generally not a smoked turkey fan because it tends to be dry but here it was moist, very nice.
The smoked ham was very flavorful too, good quality ham and a nice smoke to it but again not over smoked and dry.
I had an armadillo egg this last visit and I enjoyed it but it's a little too much sausage for me. I understand they need structural integrity so use a fair amount of it but it's a dish to share with a few people, one is enough for 3 or 4 or you get sausage overload.
If you are looking for barbecue and in the area this is the stop you want to make in southern Illinois. There's 3 places in the area that are what I consider to be the quintessential barbecue for the surrounding area, Johnson's in Harrisburg, Starnes in Paducah, and here.
Glad they came to the area.
You know a place Is good when they're busy! Everyone standing in line was raving about every menu item, I couldn't go wrong with any choice! They were right. The burnt ends, pulled pork, XL baked potato and mac n cheese was the best bbq we've ever had! The team was so helpful in ordering!
I'm just passing through on a long drive to Washington and OMG this food is by far the best BBQ I've ever had. I'm going to have to take a nap after eating before I get back on the road because I could stop
Drove 45 mins on a recommendation that they have the best burnt ends in Southern Illinois. Have always wanted to try their brisket as well, since I lived in Texas for years and wanted true Texas food. I tried to call several times with no answer and there was no mention on their FB page, even on the door, before waiting 15 mins to order, that they was out of burnt ends and brisket. Im sure the food is great but they really should find a way to inform costumers or at least answer the phone when called.
The reviews are right—this is the best BBQ we’ve ever had!! We stopped here on a road trip and ordered pulled pork and brisket sandwiches and all of the sides, and they even gave us samples of their other meats!
The food and service were incredible. If we had to pick favs, it would be the sandwiches (huge), ribs (slapped), mac n’ cheese, baked beans, potato salad, and hot bbq sauce. Don’t sleep on this place! We’ll be back.
