    2 Meat Plate: Brisket, Turkey, Sweet Potato Casserole, Coleslaw
    Melody C.

    Dee Willie's BBQ was alright. This place had pretty standard BBQ - it wasn't really anything special. I was expecting better for a non-chain BBQ spot. The sausage links were very flavorful but the brisket was rather dry and crumbly. The sides were alright but not anything to write home about. The cream corn and mac n cheese were good but came out cold. The coleslaw was more of a salad. It had red cabbage, kale, and dried cranberries which is not what I imagine when I order coleslaw. The BBQ sauces were also just alright. The "spicy" one was (as someone who can barely tolerate heat) tangy at best. Dee Willie's, however, really shown through with their sweets. The pecan cobbler was spectacular. It was the perfect cross between pecan pie and a cobbler. I would say that the prices are very steep for what you get. Our waitress was very sweet. She had a playful personality and provided positive and quick service. The space was very big. There were many tables and a small stage for live performances. I imagine it would be a very lively place on a weekend night. This place is connected to a bar with some slot machines if you want to grab a drink before or after your meal. On a Thursday evening, about an hour before closing, there was only one other table dining in which may be telling about their food quality. There were a few take-out orders - one of which I overheard received an incorrect order upon pickup. I'm sure there are better BBQ spots in the area, especially for the price so I'm not sure I would recommend this one.

    We arrived and were greeted with a smile and a friendly face. We ordered the 1 meat and 2 sides platter. I got the brisket for the meat. It was tender and juicy, but not a lot of smoke flavor. The sides were pretty good which is not typical of a BBQ joint. The resturant was clean and decorated so cute like the old west. There's a bar connected to it as well.

    Stopped by for lunch had three meat plate with cream, corn, and beans I chose brisket, sausage and ribs Everything seemed good if there was a weak point, it would be the cream corn. $27 for a slice of brisket, half length of sausage and maybe two small ribs. I get it. Barbecue is expensive. So with that being said, the service is good, attentive, and the barbecue sauces are decent. They have mild and spicy. Lunch set me back $33 for a three minute plate and ice tea. No harm no foul. Decent barbecue, a little pricier than what I would pay. The sweet tea is sweet. love it Enjoy.

    First time at Dee Willie's BBQ and had a great time. They had live music and the volume was perfect. I was able to enjoy the music, food and company. The ribs and brisket were delicious!!! They were seasoned to perfection. The staff were friendly. I will definitely be back.

    Haven't really wanted to try this place which is weird for me....I love BBQ and I LOVE to eat! The lady up front was kinda rude so I just left. I finally decided to give this place a go and i regretted it. $81 and wasn't even worth half of that. Do not trust the prices posted on Google, its much more than that. As for the food, the sausage was disgusting. It was like greasy hamburger meat texture. The turkey was delicious. Tender and cooked perfect. The brisket and the pulled pork was fine and tender. It just wasnt seasoned at all and if your going to have a BBQ restaurant then your food has to have more of a smoke flavor than Bill Miller's. The sides were ok. So the lady at the front was just as rude as the person 3 years prior. No reason for anyone to go and eat here when there's so many great restaurants out there and owners treating their customers like they're important to them.

    Delicious no other words. Hands down the 1st bbq place I actually enjoyed the food. Great service, country style, country music. Will definitely come back.

    Red Ribs.  Sweet potato casserole.  Potato salad and all other fixings.

    I live near Dee Willie's BBQ. Been there a few times in the past. However my recent visit was different. They've up's their game! BIG TIME! Adding BEEF RIBS to the menu. I'm from Arizona, grew up with mesquite grilled beef. I'm a tad bit judgy. Their beef ribs are damn good! Be ready to drop $50 + tip for 1 person. You get two sides, a drink and dessert for that price. I was stuffed. Had to take home my banana bread pudding... wow! Some of the best bread pudding I've ever had. Well done Dee Willie's BBQ.

    Empty and food still never came

    Wish I had a chance to actually taste and review their food but they seemed to be out of everything when we came. From ribs to chicken they were out of. When we finally ordered we sat at the table for 20 minutes and finally just left. All I wanted was some Texas ribs and brisket SMH. Server was nice but I don't know what the cooks were doing back there for OVER 20 minutes!

    Is there all you can eat BBQ as advertised by David Elder?

    Do they have beef ribs? I went and they did not offer beef ribs

    I've read reviews that say they tried beef ribs. Maybe try calling them when they're open.

    Will you open today fathers Day?

    Last I heard, they were closed until the 19th for renovations.

I forgot the exact flavors I got, but I remember trying pistachio, Dubai chocolate, and one other flavor. They were all really good. Since I was hungry, I also grabbed a chocolate croissant, which was delicious as well. I forgot to ask them to heat it up, but it was still very enjoyable. On the side, I tried their ice cream, and it was honestly some of the best ice cream I've had in San Antonio. I believe I got pistachio, taro, and coffee on the bottom, and they were all great. At the end, I also got Turkish coffee just out of curiosity. It's not in the picture because I purchased it after I finished my dessert. The coffee was very strong, with a unique flavor that made it fun to try. One small suggestion: the coffee was very very hot and nearly overflowed the small cup, so it might be helpful to add a "cup sleeve", use a slightly bigger cup, or offer an option to make it a bit cooler (adding an ice or two). Overall, this is definitely a cool place to hang out, especially if you enjoy sweets, coffee, and trying different flavors. Highly recommended and will be back for more!

We tried their fruit shaped mousse cakes this time and they taste just as good as it looks. The mango is definitely my favorite, it had mango puree insight and the mousse was light but a little more gelatinous than I expected. The lemon was super sour as expected but not as enjoyable. It was super busy this night so there was absolutely no seating.

They have a storyline to create a plot for the "dessert" creations. The pastry chefs interweave sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and umami throughout the evening AND is also paired with a drink per dish. They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting. After it's all done, they do part you with a BIG fortune cookie with a handwritten fortune! This is the time where you are allowed to pull your phones out.

I'm vegetarian and pregnant so my menu had to be modified but I was so blown away by the fact that they were able to accommodate for me and took such care in making sure my plates met the caliber and intended feeling/taste of the non vegetarian dishes. Same with the drink pairings, although mine were non alcoholic, it wasn't just a blah substitution, they really put a lot of care into making sure the drink matched the energy and vibe of the alcoholic version. My husband and I loved the story telling that went with each dish that described the chef's intentions and the products used for each bite. This was our first fine dining experience and we couldn't have been more satisfied. We were celebrating my husband's graduation and they even had a little card for him signed by the chefs! So cute! I'd definitely recommend checking this place out for a special occasion, or if you're just curious about what a Michelin Star dessert restaurant is all about.
