Delicious pork! We have been getting it for family get togethers and everyone loves the taste! The workers there are very efficient and polite. They are truly gems! read more

Not gonna lie, when I found out Billy Sims BBQ had smoked baloney, I was excited! Some good thick slices of deliciousness. Paired w mac n cheese made a great lunch. I highly recommend. Oh and also the Heisman is an awesome sandwich, but I ate it before I thought to take a picture. read more

Billy Sims BBQ - Smoked bologna sandwich and mac n cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Franklin, Wisconsin

Stopped in on a Sunday morning right when they opened and ordered a Biggie Bucket of ribs for a family gathering. Best decision ever! The ribs were tender, juicy, and had everyone asking where they came from. Not a single rib was left by the end of the day. If you're feeding a crowd and want food that impresses, look no further. Billy Sims BBQ delivered big time and will definitely be our go-to for future gatherings. Highly recommend! read more

Sadly did not like this at all . Very small sides portion. We got the fully loaded spuds. They were very dry and undercooked.! mac & cheese very bland taste as if it was just store-bought mac & cheese coleslaw very watery no flavor not appetizing at all. For the prices of these items it's pretty sad and I'm disappointed read more

Brought some takeout from here. It was delicious hot and ready. would come back again.

We go semi frequently, and the pulled pork is consistently good and feels like solid bang for your buck. I especially Mac and cheese bowls their Mac and cheese bowls. read more

So, if you're ever at the ballpark during a tournament, you HAVE to check out this awesome place I found! We walked in and were greeted super warmly right away great first impression. The menu is HUGE, so many choices! They have these amazing mac and cheese bowls brisket, pulled pork, OR jalapeno sausage. The sausage bowl isn't actually on the menu, but they have a picture by the ordering counter, so don't miss out! We got the jalapeno sausage mac and cheese seriously delicious, and a great portion size for only $8! We also tried the pulled pork mac and cheese, and that was fantastic too. And oh my gosh, the cornbread with butter? Forget about it pure heaven! The ribs were good, but could have been a little warmer and maybe a bit more fall-off-the-bone tender. They sell them by the piece, half slab, or whole slab plenty of options.The place itself is super clean and would be perfect for teams grabbing a bite after a game. Definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Really the only place for some BBQ this side of town, A Mission BBQ it is not, more of a "fast food" of BBQ's. Nothing ever seems to be consistent but its OK. My biggest complaint is the food needs to be kept hotter. The food is not kept hot enough. The brisket is better chopped cuz sliced tends to be on the dry side. Did I mention the food needs to be kept hotter? All of it from the beans to the meats. The last time it all was on the cold side and not sure if I am gonna stop again. read more

The food was delicious and fairly priced for BBQ. I had the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese. The price was less than $10, and it came with a drink. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, had a great taste, and the pulled pork was 10/10. It was super flavorful and had a smoky taste. I also ordered the pulled pork loaded nachos, which was also a tasty plate. read more

First timers. Tried a couple different types of meats/meals. Our portions were sufficient. Disappointed that the ribs weren't ready when we were there. Going to try them next time! Staff was very pleasant and patient with our indecisiveness. Almost too much to look at. :) read more

The service was very good. I was disappointed the ribs weren't falling off the bone like they were the time before. The Mac and cheese wasn't as creamy as it was the first time I had it. So I'd say the food quality isn't consistent. read more

The restaurant was neat and clean, a little on the colder side for me. The guys at the counter were kind, you could tell they were busy! Out order was perfect because they were communicating and validating everything was correct. The nachos were outstanding, great balance in every bite. The sausage had a lot of flavor, the brisket was a pinch dry, the potato salad and beans were moderate, the portions were outstanding, the max was actually the best for me- noodles were not mushy and the cheese was great. Overall I will be back, to try something different! read more

Billy Sims BBQ - Nachos, Mac, beans, potato salad, sausage, brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Franklin, Wisconsin

The McDonald's of BBQ. Pulled pork- good only if sauced up. Baked beans - grocery store ones are better. Mac and cheese - better from a box. Sweet tea- Lipton! The worst tea on the planet. I've never been to BBQ anywhere in the country that would serve that. read more

I decided to finally try this place for lunch and I took the drive over. It's in a small strip mall next to a bowling alley. The place is nice and clean on the inside with tables and booths and it has a drive through. It's got the common chain bbq theme of metal and wood. The staff was very friendly and took good care of me. I had high hopes for this place because I smelled smoke in the parking lot which means the bbq meat doesn't travel and it's smoked on spot. I ordered the 1/2 rack with two sides. I had Mac and cheese with loaded potato salad as my sides and with bbq I don't let the sides influence my review or stars because the sides don't match the bbq meat quality lots of times. The loaded potato salad was solid with nice chunks of bacon and firm potatoes that was nicely chilled. The Mac and cheese was mushy and no big cheese flavor at all and just like eating mush, wouldn't get that again. I got the 1/2 rack with no sauce because I want to see if the meat holds it own. The ribs actually had a very nice looking bark for a chain and smelled good. My first bite was like WOW the bark is tasty and seasoned nicely. The ribs had great texture with the tips left on, not the steamed to mushy meat but the slight chew that I like in rib meat. The ribs were meat wise ok and not the kind with very little meat on the bones and the meat came clean off the bones. The ribs were moist/tender with a nice smoke flavor that worked very well with this tasty bark. Overall the ribs were pretty good for a chain and I think that I like them better than that other chain in town that popped up a few years ago. I would definitely stop back for the ribs. read more

Good food & great service. Delicious sauces and size able portions. A bit off the beaten path but worth the drive.

This is honestly like a cafeteria lunch. Small portions, tastes like a can of hormel chili w/ a packet of hot sauce thrown in. The macaroni and cheese is pretty flavorless and bland. The way the portions came in small sized plastic containers was tacky I feel, with such a big to-go box in comparison. Would not recommend... read more

Billy Sims BBQ - For $10...chili - Barbeque Near Me - Franklin, Wisconsin

My husband and I each had the 3 meat meal with 2 sides! Delicious! We got the pulled pork, brisket and hot link (cheddar jalapeño sausage) for $20 each! We tried the mac and cheese topped with the hot links! Hot, fresh and great tasting! Try the hickory bbq sauce! read more

Billy Sims BBQ - 3 meat meal and Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Franklin, Wisconsin

I love this place. I've been several times and ha e not had a bad experience yet. Very clean dining area. Very nice staff with all kinds of knowledge. You have to try the Chili with Fritos. I had the pork sandwich on my last visit and loved it. Can't wait to go back. read more

The absolute worst BBQ that I've ever had. I ordered the 3 meat dinner with double the sliced brisket, Polish sausage and I paid an extra $3 for 1 rib bone. First off the Polish had a snappy casing but the inside had the consistency of bologna, which was weird. The Rib was tender yet the taste was a little off. My sliced brisket was crumbly yet it was the best meat on the plate by far, and to be honest I would give that a 2 outta 5. Two sides came with dinner so I chose Mac and cheese and baked beans. The Mac was just ok but the beans were 100% Busch's baked beans. The website said I was getting Texas Toast with the dinner, but I received nothing, no 1 slice of bread, oh they also forgot my bbq sauce. I will NEVER go to another Billy Sims, if I could have given a half of star, I would've . read more

Terrible customer service and even worse general manager. Cold meat was served with awful tasting potato salad. No apologies offered from any staff. Instead, they were highly defensive. When we drove up to an empty parking lot we were already suspicious. Don't bother eating here. read more

I love Billy Sims.! They're portions are generous on their sandwiches. Particularly, I love their pulled pork sandwiches and their farm house potato salad. They're employees have always been kind and give good service. read more

Stopped by the place while daughter had soccer practice. It was really good! I loved my loaded potato with pulled pork. Would give it 5 stars but one of my hubby's brisket pieces was really tough but the rest was fine. Great place for a quick bite to eat! read more

Been here a few times. Once I ordered their party pack for 130. Says it feeds 8 to 10. Lol. Way more. I fed 20 with it. Everyone was very satisfied with the food. Nothing changed the next 2 times I was here. Tender, smoky brisket trimmed nicely so as there isn't too much fat. Nice tender pulled pork. Links are actually cheddar jalapeño links, not true hot links. Still good but... and the chicken was tasty, juicy and lightly smoked. Sauces are their own, original, a sweet hickory, or a hot. I recommend all three, depending on your tastes and meat choices. Baked beans were killer. Slaw was solid. Potato salad, I really wanted to like it, but just fell a little flat for me. Overall, if you want some BBQ and you are near, it us worth a try. Quick and courteous counter with no rush. read more

The service and food were both better than I had expected. The young man who took my order was patient and informative as this was my first time visiting the restaurant. The pork sandwiches smelled and tasted smoky and the meat was tender. Try the sauces, I found them sweet and mildly hot read more

Placed an on-line order at the Franklin, Wisconsin location. simple order: 3 sliders, potato salad, frito chili pie and a stacker which was supposed to be free with an on-line order of more than $20. (It was $21.45.) Entered the code for the free stacker in the Coupon/Promo code field and it was rejected as not available for the order. Text from Sims said to enter it at checkout. Couldn't find a field to enter it in. Picked up the order but they could do anything to credit the charge because it was an ON-LINE order. Took the order home and discovered the frito chili pie was missing. Drove back with the order and asked the guy to look at the order and the receipt. His response was is a slider missing. I said no, look at the top of the order. The frito chili pie is missing. He filled that part of the order and I left. By the time I got it home it was all cold. Unfortunately, the flavors were good but I will never go back to Billy Sims and won't recommend it to anybody. read more

Love, love, love the chopped brisket--so tender, so buttery, so yummy. I don't even put sauce on it--it's that good. I haven't tried other meats, so can't speak to those. For sides, I've had the mac and cheese and veggies that were good--nothing spectacular. The service has been friendly and professional--both when eating inside and taking food to go through the drive-through. Eating inside was fine as the dining room area was clean every time we went. read more

Meh...it's fine, nothing special- even considering what it is. Got the two meat dinner with pulled pork and hot links along with beans and Mac/cheese. Hot links were good, pork was fine. Beans and Mac were okay as well..,cornbread was best part of meal, however at $20 I would have expected a bit more. Portions were small for the cost, and while it definitely tasted authentic just thought I would get a bit more for the money. It's was fine, just likely a one-and-done for me. read more

Stopped here on a whim...mostly because they had a drive thru. We didnt have high expectations, because we had never been to a Billy Simms before and we weren't expecting much of a drive thru bbq place. Were we wrong! Their chicken and brisket were over the top, the mac n cheese was fire, the sandwiches and sauces were fresh and savory! read more

Best fast food in Franklin hands down. It's so good, I have to remind my son that they have a drive thru and he doesn't need me to place an order online. Son recently devoured the pulled brisket sandwich/ I love the brisket dinner and the ribs have received high regards in this house as well. read more

The food was terrible. Turkey was jiggly and the sausage was just it good. I wouldn't return.

I wasn't aware this place existed. We stopped for lunch after driving by. The employee that helped me was fantastic (skinny guy with beard). Very friendly and answered all my questions. We tried a brisket Mac and cheese bowl, baked beans, corn break, pulled pork sandwiches and mashed potatoes... Yes, we took some home. Will visit again. read more

I was really in the mood to have ribs. With it also being Cinco de Mayo, local places had suspended their smoked menus for more Mexican themed menu. We were pleasantly surprised at Billy Sims! The brisket sandwiches were outstanding ! Per one of the employees when I asked, the shredded was ordered more often, so we ordered them. Also had the ribs, which were very flavorful. No sauce was needed on either, they were so very tasty without. Hubby thought the mac and cheese wasn't that good; however, I thought it was fine. A child in the table area at the same time seemed to think it was awesome. We ate indoors, the tables, fountain section and areas were clean. There were more than enough napkins and utensils readily available. outside seating also an option. The 3 young men behind the counter seemed to work well as a team, and were attentive and helpful with our questions. A team member stepped out in the table area and checked with each table / patrons as to how things were and if they / we needed anything additional. There is such a wide variety of selection for various tastes, and the price was at least half of what we would have spent elsewhere. We WILL be going there again ! Highly recommend it! Fast service, good prices, quality food ! We Visited the Franklin WI site ( not sure how to change this from the San Francisco as was listed on the review we wrote) Franklin WI. read more

My 2 adult sons and I met for a Early Father's Day BBQ meal. Never been here before. We walked in and half there electricity was out. Didn't slow down Alex, Hannah and MiKayla. They just kept working with friendly smiles. Then all the power went out as we were ordering. The manager Bryan stepped in, I think to make sure everything went okay, and helped us also. All 3 of us ordered "The Heisman" WOW! Awesome! I have never had smoked bologna added to a brisket sandwich. Where has this been all my life?? Bryan even came out to our table to check on us. I ordered the same sandwich to go and asked for the baked beans. Bryan said he wasn't comfortable serving the beans since they had sat without being warm. I appreciate that! With only the emergency lights on, he said we could stay as long as we needed to. (We told him why we were meeting) the desert was even great! We will definitely go back here. When people and food are great, that's what we all are looking for!! read more

Best ribs in the area! Perfectly done competition style with a little chew. Right amount of smoke, heat, and sweet and very meaty. Cole slaw was excellent too. I'll note that we've only tried the ribs which, along with brisket, should be the only two entrees worth reviewing as pulled pork and sausages are easier to do. will try the brisket next and maybe do another review. Price meat at the market these days and you'll see that even if you have the smoker and skill to make ribs and brisket yourself at home you can't come in a ton cheaper! read more

I have eaten here 2x's so far, & it was delicious. I have had the brisket, chicken, and ribs, all Great!!!! I have had both potato salads love them both, but lean toward the loaded potato salad, I have had the mac & cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans, all delicious. I recommend all of these items. I have not had the bologna yet, but when I was there you could smell it, and it smelled delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Prices are mid-range. Good BBQ is never really cheap, nor do I think you would want them to go cheap anyway. I also will be ordering that chocolate parfait looking thing in the future. I have not tried it yet but it looks delicious. read more

We were in the mood for ribs tonight. Lots of good places for ribs on the southwest side; there's no denying that! But for the 3rd time since it opened we are going to Billy Sims! What's so good about the ribs is that they are so flavorful you don't need sauce. Sides are fine, but the ribs for the convenience and price and the main event. The brisket is good too. read more
