Dee Willie's BBQ - Mmmmmmm - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Placed an order by phone and I didn't get a detailed receipt so I cannot say how much I paid for each item (total cost $90) but I got 1lb of brisket, 1/2lb of Turkey, 1 sausage link and a whole chicken. Also ordered regular sides (which is one serving) of creamed corn, green beans, potato salad and macaroni. We did have to oh at the time of the order but it was ready for pick up in 10 mins. Overall the quantity of food was great. We were 4 adults and all ate until we were full and even had leftovers for lunch the next day. Our favorite was the brisket but everything was delicious. read more

Ordered a baked potato and it came out COLD. Sent it back and they said it was cold because of the "cold butter and sour cream" they put on it. The Mac and cheese is usually very good but as you can see it looks like some shitty soup. I don't know if they changed ownership or what but this place has gone DOWN HILL. read more

Dee Willie's BBQ - Nasty Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I enjoyed my food throughly and finished my entire dish. Ordered the brisket with cream corn and mac & cheese. Food came out promptly and was hot. Our server/host wasn't exactly happy to see us, when asked if we would like to sit in the booths or benches they almost made an effort to push us away from the benches because they were cleaning for closing. I understand wanting to get out on time for work but at the cost of a clients experience seems a bit rude. Table service from said server/host was pleasant. The restaurant was dirty looking (rustic I suppose). Ceiling tiles droopy, floor sticky, and buckets collecting water leaking from the ceiling. I enjoyed my food and I'd say the experience ended there. read more

Good food but they were out of the items we originally went for. Service however was great, the gentlemen that helped us was fast, funny and attentive. read more

Great staff and wonderful food- enjoyed our meal after a long trip to Texas! Thank you for making us feel welcome! Nice clean facilities!

Amazing barbecue and extremely inexpensive you get more than your values worth at this place! Our server was Roy and he was super friendly and cool and very professional read more

I saw this place on elder eats and thought I'd give it a try. The owner is rude to his staff. The actual staff seem a bit lost. The bbq isn't anything to rave about just a spot to get some bbq like bill millers. read more

Worst bbq place ever. Allowed seating when out of food 3.5 hours before closing. Ensured multiple times that our food would be available and then after waiting over 1 hour informed us they were out of everything we ordered. The food they actually had was mediocre. The staff was rude and the food was below average. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Also staff was continuously eating Church's Chicken in the serving area. Hands after eating and having contact with mouth not washed. Unsanitary as well. read more

We waited for over an hour just to be seated which is understandable but when we did get seated it was a stuffy sauna in there. Making the best of the situation since we drove across town we waited to order only to be told they weren't doing the all you can eat anymore... AND they were out of chicken, sausage, pulled pork, rice and beans. Definitely made sure to tell the guy at the front it would have been nice to know the menu was seriously reduced before wasting all that time. We checked in a 345pm left at 5pm drove up a little further to B&B sat in the air conditioning and had amazing bbq. Moral of the story, don't believe everything you see on TikTok..... one of San Antonio's worst bbq places. read more

My family visited Dee Willie's BBQ on Zarzamora and the meal was so-so. The cream corn was made with too much flour as a thickner, but spoke with the owner, offered a suggestion and he repaired the cream corn. The mac & cheese was to dry, the owner repaired the mac & cheese. And ooooh the brisket! I asked for marble brisket and the brisket I received was not marble, was dry, was not tender and no taste. I spoke with the owner and he took my plate back, went to the kitchen, returned with THE REAL JUICY BRISKET & explained that there is two brisket cuts (which I did not know). The ribs my daughter ordered, did not look like the advertised Baby Back Ribs. The ribs were, I guess pork, flat, no taste and just not right. But, the owner gave me a sample of the smoked turkey meat and THAT was the icing on the cake! The smoked turkey meat was glistening with juice, tasted superb, and had an amazing flavor. Overall, the owner repaired what needed to be corrected, was very empathetic and polite. I would not return, but of course other people's palette is different from my palette. The peach cobbler and the blackberry cobbler were tastefull. Thanks goes to the owner for repairing the items that needed repairing, his empathy and his understanding. read more

Great little spot on the south side. Apparently they have another spot somewhere. Price was reasonable. Brisket was eh. Turkey and sausage was really good. Cream corn and green beans were awesome. The bbq is really tasty. Definitely with a coat for the price. Wouldn't mind going back to try the Dino rib. Staff there were very nice and super fast. Would recommend. read more

My wife and I traveled 2500 miles from CT to try this fine establishment. Well it was worth the trip . When we first walked through the door we were warmly greeted and made us feel like family. The service was spectacular and the server was great in explaining everything to us. Above all the food was great and everything was very tasty and we will be getting food to bring back home!!!! read more

Dee Willie's BBQ - 2 meat with 2 sides plate $15.99 - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I didn't write a review on our first attempt at the all you can eat since the meat tasted old and dry and thought maybe they were having an off day. We tried it for a second time and the results were the same the service was excellent but the meat is dry most pieces are just not edible. The cream corn and Arnold Palmer were on point. read more

If you loveee lean meat like I do you will love Dee Willie's! I am superrr picky and do not like fatty meat, and Dee Willie's lean brisket is chefs kiss for me! 9/10 times it's going to hit! The service and people are always so nice and the food always comes out quick! Also their buns are Hawaiian bread and always toasted! I wish they had another location closer to my house lol. read more

Dee Willie's BBQ - My phone did not eat first lol. It was so good I could not wait. The 1/2 1/2 lb. Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

In the south side of San Antonio and you walk into a country atmosphere with a smoked bbq fragrance. There were lots of cars in the parking lot but we were seated fast and our server Danielle quickly attended to us. We ordered a loaded baked potato with chopped brisket and baby back ribs. Then for dessert we got a pecan cobbler and a peach cobbler. The baked potato was soft and full of all the fixings and topped with a heaping serving of chopped brisket. The baby back ribs were tender and fell off the bones. The warm cobblers hit the spot after all that yummy food. read more

It is worth all the hype and money, lots of food for the price. The banana pudding was awesome. The staff were super nice and awesome overall experience read more

The vibe was really off here at this restaurant. The server told us we couldnt share the 27.99 all you can eat special when we're literally paying for it. Also got told we can't take our leftovers home. We paid for our food we should be allowed to take it with us. Brisket wasnt my favorite choice. It was tough and difficult to chew. The brisket wasn't soft like I was expecting. The cream corn was good. Mac and cheese was decent didn't really have a wow factor that made the flavor pop. The pulled pork was great. Probably the food I mostly liked. I was a big fan of the barbecue sauce because it wasn't really smoky it was more sweet, my boyfriend wasn't a fan of it for that reason. Overall the place was decent. Probably wouldn't go back there just because theres better barbecue options. read more

Dee Willie's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

They shouldn't open up at 11 if they don't have the food ready to serve. We showed up at 11:10 and all they have is brisket. People don't go just for brisket. Maybe consider opening up later when the whole menu is available read more

First and foremost, this place is a five star restaurant. Whoever has given this place bad scores what is wrong with your taste buds ? You're not a barbecue connoisseur. Stopped in after running a service call near by. D-Willies Texas barbecue did not disappoint. Most people cut corners on sides not these people sweet potato casserole on point. Dino rib, lunch special amazing. For added bonus got the brisket with sausage added nachos. Don't get unless you wanna have your life changed. So anybody on here put in bad reviews take your ass down the street where they give you more sauce than meat. But if you like real barbecue, get on down to Willie D's. read more

Dee Willie's BBQ - Salad the way God intended to be served!!! - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Brisket Nachos as an appetizer for the table. Awesome. Dino Ribs where the bone pulled out clean and fell apart like a roast. Awesome Loaded potato salad and Sweet potato casserole. Awesome. Waitress was very sweet and checked on us several times. read more

Worth the drive to the other side of town. We were exceptionally impressed with everything they serve. My favorite side dish is the baked potato salad (upon return I doubled up on this). Yes, we have returned several times. So good! read more

Very good BBQ, we really enjoyed our meals here. We had a little bit of confusion with two restaurants with very similiar names in the same city. THIS ONE DEFINITELY IS THE BETTER ONE! We actually went to the other restaurant, sat down, got our drinks and decided to walk out. I strongly suggest this one... much more vibrant and the wait staff were full of life. It was well lit inside and just felt so much better at this location. 6506 S Zarzamora St, San Antonio, TX 78211 We ordered the Baked potato loaded with Brisket and all the other fixins and thought it was AMAZING! We also ordered the 3 Meat Plate with BBQ Chicken, Brisket and Sausage with potato salad and it was all GREAT! The smoked chicken breast was the MOST MOIST and JUICY i have ever tasted. I have my owner smoker and i have never smoked a piece of chicken that was as juicy. The place started getting busy after we sat down and i think our waitress was a little overloaded with tables but we understand and we will definitely return. read more

I went here at 3:30 pm yesterday and order a fully loaded baked potato with brisket, it was around 12 dollars for the price but it took 25 minutes too come out. As we got it, went back to the car, and opened it the potato looked very hard the brisket was just slightly on there, I used my fork and immediately noticed the potato was hard as rock and not ready, the brisket was good but lacked of flavor and there's no sour cream. I didn't care about the sour cream the it looked so bad we didn't even eat it. We tried to go inside to take it back but it was too packed inside so we left unsatisfied and threw it away. I wish I can talk to the manager and fix this since my mom is in a wheelchair and wanted to try something new. read more

After hearing about this place, I decided to take a shot... First of all, I dove right into the "All You Can Eat" deal - just to try a little of everything. The two stars of this show were: the ribs and the turkey! For the AYCE, don't expect Original Blacks-level, but if you're a BIG EATER it is a steal at just under $30! Next, the sides. My favorite has to be their green beans and pinto beans. So, delicious, so full of taste and just perfectly seasoned! Don't get me wrong, the other sides were good as well, but these two are my top pick and easily two of the best beans I've ever had! Service was excellent and staff were very friendly! I would offer the establishment a recommendation of perhaps a bit more seasoning on the brisket (although moisture and tenderness were on point!) and possibly two more varieties of bbq sauces to offer (maybe a mustard-based and a spicy??). Otherwise, a great place, great staff and a great deal overall! Next time, I'm trying the dino ribs...stay tuned! read more

I stopped by this little smokehouse on my lunch break at work and was pleasantly surprised. I got the one meat plate with the mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole. The brisket wasn't that good but for 15$ plate it wasn't bad. The casserole was amazing tho and I'd recommend it to anyone. The mac and cheese is standard, it's alright. This smokehouse isn't perfect but it's cheaper than a regular smokehouse so i'd stop here again especially when i'm in the mood for brisket but don't want to break the bank to get it. read more

Good, solid BBQ. Our first time here on Saturday April 02, 2022. We were there about 12:30 pm and greeted with 'we've only got brisket and sausage'. Bummer, we had hoped for ribs. Husband had the two meat plate: marbled brisket and the plain sausage, creamed corn and potato salad. I had the one meat plate: lean brisket, green beans, potato salad. My lean brisket was on the dry side and fell apart at the touch of the fork. The BBQ sauce was good, not too sweet or tangent. Tea rounded out our meal. Good service. Just a bit disappointed there weren't more meats to choose from. Private parking lot. Easy to park. Worth another trip. read more

Dee Willie's BBQ - Lean brisket 1 Meat Plate - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We were heading out for dinner a little later than usual so decided to try a new place. Honestly the exterior was sketchy and the interior almost as bad. There was a smell of old places where the ventilation isn't so good. I'm glad I went inside. Our waitress was sweet, though she left before we got our food. The other waitstaff were just as kind and helpful. The best thing was the meat. Fall off the bone tender brisket and ribs. Not many BBQ places get their meat this tender. I asked for moist meat, to me that means fatty and dripping. My companion asked for the regular and he said his was definitely drier than mine. Mine had zero fat and wasn't as moist as I love it, but it's all about the cuts of meat you have. The sides were tasty but a little disappointing. It was the smallest amount of cream corn I've ever gotten at a BBQ place. It would have helped to be in a little bowl rather than on the divided plate we were given. The sweet potato casserole was good. The serving size for it was more reasonable. The Mac and cheese wasn't severely over cooked like at most BBQ places. My other companion had brisket nachos. It was a good price for a nice serving. The chips were a little old as was the bread we were given for our meat. I think both had been left sitting out. You know how bread and chips are... A place I'd return to. Maybe more for takeout than an evening out. But a place you want to go if you're craving meat. read more

I saw this place on TX Eats. Came for dinner and definitely was not disappointed. Brisket was finger tender, ribs finger tender. The green beans can become an addiction. The bbq sauce is simple & very flavorful. I can't post a picture because only bones were left on my plate. Come visit Dee Willie's!!! read more

Highly disappointed! I walk in to order at 11am! 70% of the meats aren't available! I ask why not, "we don't receive our meats until later! Really! The meats aren't available before lunch! Really. This is all that I can eat BBQ restaurant! Not today it isn't! This is probably my last time coming to this place! read more

We were visiting San Antonio from San Diego this was literally our first stop after pu rental car at airport. I did my homework had my top 10 BBQ spots in San Antonio picked out knowing I couldn't hit them all in a week I definitely wanted to get my fill on this buffet! Well I gotta say it didn't disappoint I had 2 full 3 meat plates and 6 sides during my meal. I had the brisket, jalapeño sausage, pork ribs, turkey and chicken . The sides were all fantastic too had the mac & cheese , tater salad, cream corn, beans, but the star of the show was the sweet potato casserole had that twice amazing! The hostess was very friendly and we talked for a bit. My family had 2 meat combo plates and were also very satisfied with their meals. I just wished I could have eaten more cant eat like I use to! This blows anything I've had in San Diego away. read more

We arrived at 11am right as soon as they opened, only to find out that most of the menu was not available. I asked for chicken, tomahawk and loaded potato they didn't have it. Then I asked for ribs, and they said the ribs were made yesterday. Very disappointing and upsetting because I was very hungry. So sad will prob not return. read more

I ordered to go, with the cashier's recommendations on portion sizes for 5. Made sure to ask about pickles and onions etc. Many issues. They missed the fact that I ordered iced tea and when I pointed this out they were confused on what to do. Like where the gallon jugs were kept. The tea was warm definitely nothing iced about it. They only gave two small containers of bbq sauce, utensils for two, no onions. Total price with tip was over $100 and they are skimping on these things. The saying goes if the service is terrible then the food must be good. The ribs were good - but I judge bbq in TX by its brisket. No bueno. It was dry and stringy. They cut it along the grain instead of against, so it was more of a pot roast. Really basic stuff. Super disappointing. Sides were fine. Skip this place. read more

Let me start off by saying, i grew up eating barbecue to the point, where I'm pretty sure one of my first meals was a beef rib. My dad always told me that good barbecue doesn't need sauce- all the flavor comes from the meat and how you season and marinate it. Now as I've gotten older, I still stand by what he said, but I also enjoy a good saucy rib every once in a while. D Willies food is one of those where the meat alone stands out and makes a delectable statement. I ordered the 3 meat, and chose brisket, ribs, and chicken... staples of any worthy bbq joint, in addition to sides of Mac n cheese and potato salad. The brisket was marbled, extremely juicy and tender with a nice amount of char to provide that extra smokey note. The pork ribs were fall off the bone and though I did add a bit of sauce out of curiosity, the flavor of the rib itself was still very tasty. As for the chicken quarter, it checked the most necessary of boxes with moist and flavorful dark meat! Of course I couldn't leave without taking home one of their Dino ribs (for our dog of course ) and to our delight we were pleasantly surprised with this "Dino" rib and how big/much it really came out to!! 10/10 food and customer service! Even gave me a free peach cobbler for my birthday. Will definitely be back and even check out their other location and band! read more

Dee Willie's BBQ - Dino rib - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I don't like giving bad reviews because I know people do try to work hard in providing the best service in the food industry, but sometimes it's ok to tell the truth about something, someone or even someplace. I was very excited about trying the "Dino Rib" from this location, since many places don't offer this item and I was not going to drive all the way to Lockhart, Tx to get one. When I arrived, the place was really empty for being Saturday 12:00 pm (but then again it was Black Friday Weekend). I ordered a Dino Rib, 1/4 lb. of lean brisket and half a sausage link. The Dino Rib was mainly fat and very bland tasting. I don't even think it was smoked, but o-well. The brisket was ok and the only thing that had a somewhat flavor was the sausage link. Overall, I wish I had not spent so much money for such a not-so-great purchase. The only difference between Texas D Willie's Smokehouse and Bill Miller's BBQ is the Dino Rib. If Bill Miller's offered Dino Ribs I would have saved gas and just gone to the local joint, but I guess live and learn... read more
