Today was my first time going. I really liked it. My favorite item so far is the green beans they usually grill outside but it was raining so I walked in the place and it just seems like a normal black family cooking out to me. Im glad that I can at least trust them and I'm happy they are within walking distance. Everything was great

Holy Sh#+.... Best ribs in town. Restaurant is super clean compared to any other BBQ in town. Almost had my 10 yr old crying they so good.

LOVED IT!! Food was good. service was impeccable. Everyone was warm and welcoming ( no attitudes like some places). The chicken was well done, ( I like my eggs and wings fried hard). The chicken was perfect. Wasn't overpriced like some places. Beautiful day, sat at an outside table and enjoyed my food.

A family-owned business with a great tradition of serving the southern style foods that I crave. George Wilson Jr owned the Wilson's BBQ on N. Taylor in the War Streets. This new business is owned by his cousin, Ira Wilson. It's the same great food, and it's slow cooked traditional BBQ. George Wilson Sr brought his family recipes from Arkansas. The sides are all wonderful, this is authentic BBQ that you will love. Your choice of sauce is spicy or mild, and I find that a mix is the heat level l like best.
