This is a fantastic restaurant. The food is great, the service is great, you won't make a mistake if you check them out.

I first was made aware of Double B's BBQ when there was an Elite Yelp event here. I'm not really a social person and don't really like meeting new people but I figured I should step out of my comfort zone to try a new restaurant and meet some new people. Let's just say, I came away meeting some nice people but finding out that I love their BBQ. The best thing that I had there was their corn bread - I usually don't like corn bread but boy does Double BBQ have great corn bread. I could eat a dozen by myself. I brought my husband here and he just absolutely loved this place. He stated that it's the best chicken wings he's had - and he loves chicken wings. Most recently, we brought my parents here. My mom ordered the half chicken and my dad ordered the ribs. Let's just say, there wasn't much conversation because everyone was too busy eating their delicious food. Haha! I will be back for sure....again & again & again read more

I wanted some good bbq for dinner and saw this place. Had good reviews so I had to try it. It was 40 mins before closed but they were nice enough to take my order. I got spare ribs with mac-n-cheese and brisket with beans. I got to the place, it was so cute inside. The place was definitely my vibe and I was thinking about going back for dine in. When I got home, one of the sides were wrong. They gave us both Mac-n-cheese, which was fine but it was dried out unfortunately. The briskets were good but the ribs were disappointing. It was dried, tough, and hard to break apart. Sadly. BUT the cornbread muffins were delicious! It came out of the oven when I got to the restaurant, so it was still moist. I do give second chances but I'm definitely not doing take out, especially not at the end of the day. read more

Is Double B's the best BBQ in town? I don't know that, but I do know it's probably the friendliest. They've been on my "to try" list for a bit, so we stopped in last night to try them out. Atmosphere: B Cozy, casual & comfortable. It's a smaller space, with seating for perhaps 50 plus the bar. It's nicer than your typical 'Stallis place but you'd be comfortable here in just about anything (including camo and a mullet, fully present last night). Service: A+ It was much like having dinner at a friends house - service is casual, but fun. They'll joke around with you a bit and the chef seems to make the rounds regularly to check on people. When our server dropped off the sauce caddy he also dropped off a basket of wings because "free wing Wednesday" - how fun is that? BBQ: B+ I went with the 1/2 chicken ($12) and it was a very meaty portion with lots of nice smoke flavor. My preference is for pulled chicken but I was pretty happy with what I had. The mister had a brisket topped burger and the brisket was lean and not dry. Meals come with coleslaw (just fine), cornbread (homemade, excellent - sweet, dense and not dry) and a side. I opted for Mac'n'Cheese and it was "good". I might try the veg of the day next time - yesterday's choice was buttered beets. There are 4 sauce choices - KC, Texas, XXX (not really hot IMO) and a really excellent Carolina mustard. Dessert: A Usually we skip dessert but they had bread pudding and I couldn't resist. It's served with two sauces - a warm heavy cream and the most delicious, buttery, homemade bourbon caramel. Absolutely delicious. Overall: B+ Smoke Shack is still probably the best BBQ in the city proper but Double B's is pretty darn good. The prices are reasonable, and the staff really does make you feel at home. Will I come back? Absolutely yes! read more

I had Double B's provide catering services for a housewarming party. The food came on time, it was warm, but most of all, it was amazing. They do a terrific job with the quality of the food. I would recommend them read more

Visited double B's for a mid-week birthday dinner. The menu was small but didn't need to be any bigger, the selection was still diverse and everything sounded good. The bacon wrapped meatballs were the perfect appetizer especially with the Thai sauce for dipping, would recommend these to anyone that visits. I had the pulled chicken sandwich at the recommendation of our server and it was also great. Especially with some of the house bbq sauces. Unfortunately I was too full to indulge in the birthday dessert they offered me but I can only imagine it would've been as delicious as the rest of the food. PS the margaritas are great! read more

I went in for a second visit to use the second of three vouchers I acquired via Groupon. This visit was as good as the first visit. I had the brisket last time, so I ordered the baby back rib and pulled pork combo ($21) with mashed potatoes. All dinners come with cole slaw, corn bread and choice of side. I had the beans last time. The smoked baby back ribs were among the best I've had in Milwaukee. They were moist and tender, and the meat did not "fall off the bone" because it's NOT supposed to for good smoked BBQ. That's fine for slow and low, oven baked ribs. I could taste the seasoning from the rub, which isn't always the case with smoked ribs I've had in town. I was impressed. The pulled pork started out great. The meat on the top layer had a great smoky flavor and it was also moist and tender. However, it was served on a plate in a small puddle of drippings or oil, or pork jus or grease. Whatever it was, the pork was saturated with it and it killed the smoky flavor I enjoyed with the top layer of meat. It also made the pork heavy and not sit well in my stomach, so I stopped eating it. It is probably fine on a sandwich because the bread can soak up the liquid. The cole slaw was the same as last time. I mixed it up because most of the cream was at the bottom. The corn bread was moist and the house made mased potatoes were made with red potatoes. They had a subtle buttery flavor and did not need gravy or anything else. They were solid as is. It was a ton of food and I couldn't finish it all even if I didn't have the issue with the pork. This platter would feed two people easily. It was a good value at $21. I have one more voucher, so I plan to try a burger and the smoked chicken wings I heard other customers rave about, but so far I'm a fan. read more

Double B's BBQ - Combo Platter with smoked baby back ribs & smoked pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

As a first timer, I was expecting the quality of food to meet the hype surrounding this establishment. Although our service was exceptional, the food was NOT on par for the most part. We ordered two appetizers: SmokeHouse Wings and Smoked Bacon Balls. The wings were good and the sauces were very good - not the best I've had, but worth the price. The bacon balls were terrible - the meatballs did not appear to be made inhouse and tasted like freezer meatballs. We then ordered two Meat and Meat Combos along with the sides. All of the meat was luke warm at best and tasted reheated. The sides were meh - nothing I couldn't do at home. Disappointing overall to say the least as we spent over $100 for two people. The one glimmer of hope was the smoke pecan pie - we each took a slice home and enjoyed that immensely! However, the idea was to enjoy "Wisconson's Best BBQ" when in fact there are better places. I would go back for the pie and a glass of sweet tea, but not for the bbq. read more

One can only judge by their own experience and despite the negative reviews, I was impressed with my dining at Double B's! A bowl of the corn chowder and blue cheese wedge salad was my meal. The corn chowder was SO GOOD. I could have kept eating it. It also had corn bread croutons. The Wedge Salad was the most attractive version of this dish that I have seen anywhere! It had sliced grape tomatoes, real bacon and not crumbled but bigger pieces gave it a premium feel. Chunks of blue cheese and a side of "chef made" blue cheese dressing. It was a very satisfying meal. My friend was very happy with her brisket plate. She liked the honey pecan butter that came with the cornbread (and I forgot to sample it, darn). One negative: the mac & cheese sucked. Not very cheesy, not much flavor. Why is it so hard to get good sides at a BBQ joint? It's consistenly an issue every time. Server was a dear ;) The Georgia Peach drink was pretty darn good. Friends was too sweet, can't remember the name but it looked like blue curaco was involved. And I avoid that crap like the plague. Not a Stalis person, but I'd go back and give them my business again! read more

Great BBQ, great smoked wings, and of course.. Bacon balls! (Bacon wrapped BBQ meatballs). A little small inside, but they have a patio in the back during spring and summer. read more

I would recommend this location if you're in the area; however, if you want really good bbq for the same price, go to smoke shack. We ordered the burnt tips, pulled chicken, and cut brisket and the brisket definitely needed the bbq sauce to liven it up. read more

Double B's BBQ - Brisket, burnt tips and pulled chicken with sides. - Barbeque Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

A wonderful and tasty BBQ joint located in West Allis near the state fair grounds serving all the your favorite BBQ at a great price. We were coming to Milwaukee and looking for a place to eat in West Allis. Once again Yelp comes through with another great spot with super tasty food and a great atmosphere. This place isn't very big. Luckily, we arrived early, around 11:30 and easily found a parking spot on the street out front and got a table for 5 on a Friday. By 11:50 all of the 15 or so tables were full as were the seats along the bar. When I asked, our server said the brisket was the best item on the menu which was music to my ears. Two of us ordered that and it came out moist and meaty with a touch of cayenne in the bark and a wonderfully hickory smoke taste. My son had the half rack of ribs and he said they were among the best he has had. The pulled pork looked super good too. Each sandwich comes with choice of sides-we mostly ordered fries which were hot, crispy and delicious. Another nice touch is their collection of house made BBQ sauces including KC style (sweet), Texas style (bold) and NC style (mustard/vinegar) - YUM! I especially liked the Texas style on my brisket. I should have asked if they sell those to take home! When I asked about preparation, our server invited me to go out back and see the huge smoker loaded with sausages, beef and pork. I spent about 10 minutes talking with the friendly pit master getting professional tips for my own. home BBQ efforts. Super nice guy and some great helpful suggestions. This place is a real gem! Stop in an try the brisket, you will be glad you did. Highly recommended. read more

Finally made it to the actual restaurant(the previous review was on the food truck only) ...the place was a lot smaller than I had anticipated. Still, top-notch BBQ and definitely lives up to the hype. Ordered a brisket platter with fries and a pulled pork platter with baked beans-both come with a side of coleslaw, cornbread, and 3 chicken wings. We showed up starving hungry so I also ordered the brisket tips for an appetizer. I think the brisket burnt ends might have been my favourite! So delicious and served on a nice thick piece of Texas toast..I greedily ate most of the ends so I let my boyfriend have the toast. When we did finally get our dinners I thought I wouldn't have room for anything else, but ate half of the brisket(really generous portions) I think there were 6 or 7 long strips of meat and a ton of fries. Thought my boyfriend's side of baked beans was a little on the small side but shared my fries with him and he agreed they were really delicious..crispy and seasoned perfectly! Would I go back?? Absolutely! On a weekend?? Probably wouldn't want to deal with the crowd in such a cramped place. Not much room or much of a hostess stand/area...have no idea where we would've stood if we had to wait for a table. Also should point out the service was wonderful! Could tell the entire waitstaff was really hustling! Our server was super friendly and he went through describing all 4 of the BBQ sauces with us as soon as we got our food...SAUCES WERE AWESOME BTW...do yourself a favor and make sure you give each one a try! read more

Great bbq place. Food was delicious and filling. Staff is kind and accommodating, will be back!

Good menu selection and the meats were tender and flavorful. The service was good and quick.

Drove to WI to spend the day with my father and found this gem on YELP. The aroma of smoked BBQ when we entered, was a clear sign to me, that we we're going to enjoy the food. Everything we ordered was amazing!! read more

We use the catering service called Timber's catering at Double B's every year for a big lake party we host. We order pulled pork, wings and sauce. They are so reliable, package everything perfectly and the food is consistently delicious. I also feel they are a great value. We have been so pleased with both the food and service and I would highly recommend them for your next party! read more

BEST CORNBREAD, if you take nothing else from this review, know that Double B's has absolutely amazing CORNBREAD, the best! I attended an event here on Monday. The food was fantastic. Macaroni and cheese, delicious - it's the kind of cheesy that has strands of cheese hanging off the spoon as you're helping yourself to a generous portion. Pulled pork, short ribs, wings and brisket were all available. My favorite was the brisket with Carolina sauce. Also loved the bacon balls! The owners were there and so nice! They really take pride in their work and it shows. The place isn't very large so it gives off a nice intimate feeling but not in the sense that you would only go there on a date. It's perfect for catching up with friends, family or a date :-) read more

Double B's BBQ - Delicious sampling of food. Love the cornbread! - Barbeque Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

Was finally able to try Double B's My friends tried it a few weeks ago and they loved it. Not only is the food great, but the service. WOW!!! We get there and offered choice of either sitting near the bar or their partially inclosed heated patio. We asked to be seated near heat going outside and it was done. Our server Teagan, remembered my friends from the last time they were there. I was told she was great the last, and she was great this time also. While being seated one of the cooks were prepping gumbo, and suggested I should order it. Well I did but was told that the gumbo was not being served today. This was not a deal breaker. Since we were not able to get the gumbo we were offered something right out of the smoker! Also when we were about to leave they gave me some gumbo to go. We are definitely going to return and ask for Teagan!!! read more

Good pulled chicken sandwich and cornbread. Surprised me. Portions are good also. Everything came hot and fresh

I found this place on yelp actually when I came to town and wanted some BBQ! I wish I had the time to sit and enjoy the whole atmosphere of this restaurant but I was pressed for time and had to go spend 2 hours of my life in traffic going back home to Chicago! Anyway this place had a great ambiance and the bartender seemed so friendly and nice! I called my order in and they told me to pick it up from the bar! I ordered some sweets potato fries and they were waffle cut which I loved with just the right amount of salt on them that made them ohhhh so good with an order of brunt ends and they were delicious! In all it was enough good to serve two which is a plus! Next time I'm in town I will defiantly stop by again! read more

Super friendly service and the food is scrumptious! I brought home leftovers so I could indulge in the beyond delicious pecan pie!

We ordered a slab of baby back ribs and a pulled pork plate. The baby back ribs had a good flavor from the rub but they were though, good baby back ribs should just be tender and ready to fall off the bone. The pulled pork was ok but nothing special. Sides were good. Service again was ok but nothing special. read more

It was just ok not the best but ok great customer service. Meat was alittle bit. I'm not trying to complain I just want to let you know

Great food and service. Clean and very friendly staff. Reasonably priced too Would definitely recommend read more

The food isn't bad. I ordered a bottle of beer and when I took a drink of it, the beer was warm. I asked one of the female bartenders if she had a cold one. She said, I can give you a glass of ice." I replied that I would prefer a bottle and if the brand that I had was warm, I would take a different brand. I do not like beer over ice. She gave me the same brand and as soon as I touched it, it was warm. I was kind when requesting a different brand and again was offered a glass with ice. I asked if the coolers were stocked within the last hour or so and she replied, " I don't know. I just got here." and walked away! So, I got the attention of another bartender, who was very nice and simply gave me a different brand. She apologized for the other bartender. I told her that she didn't need to apologize for the bartender. read more

Great food Great service Left with enough leftovers for 2 people Meat and meat combo!!! read more

My wife and I recently got some of their pulled pork platter. It was VERY good. The platter comes with a small serving of coleslaw, a corn bread muffin, and a side of your choice. The sweet potato fries were delicious, but the mac 'n' cheese wasn't anything to write home about. The pulled pork itself was actually really well done for a restaurant north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Smoky and just fell apart in your mouth. Their bbq sauces were really tasty as well. I would definitely recommend coming here to give it a shot. Expect $25-30 for 2 people. read more

Was a good experience. Food was a bit cold. Server was nice. Overall I would def go back again

We have been coming here since they opened. We keep coming because they smoke their own meats on the property! The smell is sooo good! They used to have outdoor seating however when DblBs expanded (very warm and welcoming decor) they took it away :( . The beef brisket is very very good. They offer 6 sauces, and every single one is very good so it's hard to decide which one. Recently, I got the " ends" of the beef brisket. AHMAZING! The corn muffin is the best. They used to have a citrusy butter but again they changed it out. Drinks are fantastic! Don't forget the specials board! read more

Omg! Excellent BBQ! You have to try this place. Service is friendly & fun. You can't go wrong with anything you order! TRY IT! You won't be disappointed read more

I'm a little late on this but I HAD to write a review. We went to Double B's on April 17. We sat outside on the covered patio in back and even though it was cold outside, it was nice, warm, and sunny back there. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there. We ordered brisket burnt ends and smoked chicken wings for appetizers. Both were very good, in fact my daughter ordered the burnt ends for her entree because she liked them so much. This is from the 20-year old that has NEVER found a BBQ sauce she has ever liked. Breakthrough! I had baby back ribs. I would say perfectly done - tender but not, "falling off the bone" which is overrated in my opinion. Very nice smoke! I should've asked what kind of wood they use. Hickory? They had four different BBQ sauces - Carolina, KC (Mild), Texas (Bold), and XXX (Picante). My wife liked the KC, it's sweet. I have to admit that I wasn't a huge fan of any. I love spicy food & sauces so I was excited to try the XXX, but it wasn't very spicy. Carolina isn't my thing so I alternated between Texas and XXX. If I would've written this sooner I would give a better description. The sides - beans and mac & cheese (good), coleslaw was tangy with some nice crunch (very good), and the cornbread, wow (excellent)! I love cornbread and have found so many that are bland afterthoughts. This was truly the best cornbread I've ever had in a restaurant. I didn't ask but is there a hint of graham cracker in there? Overall, Double B's was a great experience with fantastic BBQ. I can't wait to go back!Baby Back Ribs read more

I was just at an area fund raiser for WSTEM School in Wauwatosa. It was a chili tasting and I had the pleasure of trying Double Bs chili. It was OUTSTANDING! The fact that they had donated it for a fundraiser made it even more impressive! I've eaten at the restaurant before and would highly recommend their pulled pork. They also have the best sauces in town (sorry Famous Daves and Speed Queen - you have nothing on this place!). read more

Arguably the best BBQ in the city. I've been here a number of times, and the food doesn't disappoint. The brisket and ribs are probably my favorite, but I also enjoy the pulled pork. Great selection of sauces as well. I like to mix the Carolina with the spicy one. Although I've never had one since I always get the bbq, the burgers look amazing. Other dining guests I've accompanied have really enjoyed them. The service is sometimes a little off but overall no real complaint. It's definitely worth the drive if you are not in West Allis. read more

If you can get a seat, you'll enjoy this place. First things first, mix the XXX and Texas bbq sauces together and you'll be happy. The smokehouse wings were good. They didn't wow me, but the smoke flavor was there and they were tasty. The smoked bacon balls were good but I'm not sure it's worth the $7. The baby back ribs (half rack) were absolutely delicious. You can taste the Smokey flavor right away. The ribs were meaty and easily come off the bone with the help of a fork. The Mac and cheese side left little to be desired. I wished this tasted better. The corn bread was a nice treat. It almost felt like a sweet dessert. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. read more
