As someone who's been smoking brisket, pork butts, and ribs for 7+ years, I don't hand out BBQ…read morepraise lightly. I judge every spot against what I'm putting out at home... and a lot of places fall short -- whether it's weak seasoning, lack of smoke, or just flat-out underwhelming flavor. But Wild Waylon's BBQ? Yeah... this place is LEGIT. We went all in: pulled pork, brisket, and the big dino beef ribs -- plus mac and cheese, green beans, a bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper, and the jalapeño cornbread. Every single thing delivered. The brisket had great flavor and was cooked right, the pulled pork was juicy and well-seasoned, and those beef ribs... absolute showstopper. Big, meaty, packed with flavor, and done exactly how you'd want them. Sides were just as solid. The mac and cheese was rich and satisfying, green beans had great flavor, and that bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper + jalapeño cornbread combo? Yeah... ridiculous in the best way. And the smoke -- you can actually taste it. That alone separates them from a lot of spots. The whole experience was on point too. The big pit out front lets you know immediately they're serious about their craft, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful the entire time. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality you're getting. This is one of the few places I've been where I walk away thinking, "yeah... they're doing it right." If you're anywhere near Fredericksburg -- or even just passing through -- this spot is absolutely worth the stop.

Pros: Very good Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Additional…read moreseating is available outside, though it's only practical during warmer months. Cons: Fries had too much seasoning. Grilled chicken sandwich nothing special- not enough seasoning. Small indoor seating area- only 4-5 tables. We asked for food to go since we're visiting and they only had one very small container of ketchup they could give us Overall: The pulled pork sandwich is the highlight, but the rest of the meal and the limited seating make it a mediocre experience. Convenient for a quick stop, but not a standout dining destination. Based on this, I give this establishment a 2.5 out of 5 stars.

I was told no problem; try to get here by 4:00 pm as that's when they close. I got to the restaurant at 4:01 pm. It was closed. I knocked on the door and no one answered. Knocked on another door several times and finally some one came to the door. I was told they sold out of food early and closed early and they threw out my order. I made the effort to call and let them know I was coming and caught up in traffic and they couldn't make an effort to save my food. They close when they feel like it. Don't order over the phone as you may not get your food. Very disappointing.

We were a group of three adults and four children and decided to order different items since we didn't live in the area and weren't sure if we would be back. I live in California and my son and his family live in Texas. A lady in line, who visited frequently, told us some items to try as well. I ordered a Wagyu Brisket sandwich with Brisket beans and mac n cheese as the sides. I also ordered 1/2 pound of spare ribs. My son ordered a brisket sandwich, barbecue chicken, corn bread, coleslaw. Brisket and ribs super tender and barbecue sauce was good, but I'm from Kansas and Kansas City barbecue spots have better sauce Their sauce was a little too thin and ran off the meat. Everything was smoked to perfection except for the chicken. I heard that the chicken was kind of flavorless and a little dry. I didn't have any, but my son, his wife and kids did and so that was something that we wouldn't order again. Very nice and pleasant employees and decent prices although the sides were too small of portions.

My least favorite thing I tried was the bbq beans. They had an overpowering celery flavor that I was not a fan of.
