By the time we reached, it was pouring rain and we were happy to escape into what the restaurant self-describes as a "folksy spot for BBQ and southern sides," The waitress tended to us immediately, and we were seated in a comfortable wooden booth and brought our menus. Being hungry, we ordered an appetizer (or a "Bubbatizer" in this restaurant) -- Fried Green 'Maters, served with ranch dressing. ($9.99). As per our usual, we planned to split our lunch, and were happy to find combo dinners on the menu. Pick 2 (for $21.99) or pick 3 (for $25.99). Either is served with two sides and a slice of Bubba Bread. We chose a "pick two" meal to share, selecting pulled pork and smoked turkey, with fried okra and mac-and-cheese. Other entree possibilities include Texas brisket, BBQ chicken (1/2), shrimp, Texas sausage, chicken tenders, 3 St. Louis ribs, 6 wings, or 3 sticky bones. There were many additional, enticing side dish possibilities as well. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed looking around the decor of the restaurant. Another reviewer referred to it as having "a cute but overdone redneck theme." This seems appropriate. The theme even extended to the restrooms. Our main combo meal was served quite quickly, even before our appetizer. The portions were good, and the food was tasty. We both preferred the pulled pork (5/5) to the smoked turkey (3/5), and enjoyed both of the sides. There was a selection of BBQ sauces at the table; we tried many! Given that we were splitting a meal, we should have also ordered an additional slice of bread. One drawback. We had already eaten half of our main meal when we asked the waitress about the status of our fried green tomatoes. They ended up being our dessert instead of appetizer. That said, they were hot and tasty, even given that we were already full. We hadn't realized while we were there that BubbaQue's is a franchise, with many locations in Florida, one in Louisiana. We will return when next in the south. We recommend the restaurant.

This is one…read moreof the first restaurants I ever ate at in the area, and I make it a point to visit here at least once every trip. Bill's is a family-owned barbecue restaurant located on the main road in "downtown" Chiefland. It has a private parking lot, and there are multiple entrances/exits both on the main road, and the road that runs behind the building. On this day, we visited for lunch on a Monday in June around noon. There is definitely a regular lunch crowd that eats at this place, so it was lively. However, we had no problem getting a table right away. I have personally never had to wait for a table when dining here. For seating, there are primarily booths with some regular tables. When I visit, I typically get whatever the Daily Special is. These seem to stay the same week-to-week, and since this was a Monday it was the Pork Sandwich with the Salad Bar for $11.25. However, they have a large menu with various lunch specials, salads, sandwiches, and other barbeque items to choose from. There are also family packs and take-out options available. I personally love the Salad Bar here. My favorite lettuce is iceberg, and that is the base they offer. They have most of the typical toppings you would expect to find on a Salad Bar, along with some pasta/broccoli/chicken salad-type offerings. There are several different dressings, along with crackers and chips to pair with your creations. For the Pork Sandwich, you get to choose between a bun or garlic toast. I always opt for the garlic toast, as it seems many other do also. It is not pulled pork, but rather thicker slices piled on the bread. The sandwich does not come with sauce, but on the table there are three different barbeques to choose from - regular, sweet, or hot. As typical, the sandwich was great and the meat was not dry at all. Our server was kind and took great care of us during our lunch. The staff seems to get to know their customers, as it appears they recognize most patrons when they are coming in. I enjoyed this particular visit to Bill's, as I typically do. Especially with the daily and lunch specials, I believe it is a good value for quality food. It has a small town atmosphere that is comforting, making you feel right at home. I would definitely recommend giving Bill's a try if you find yourself in the area, or are looking for a new spot to try.

The sweet tea deserves its own shoutout. Perfectly sweet, ice cold, and exactly what you want with great BBQ. My husband ordered the brisket and it was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. I went with the pulled pork and it was just as good. Juicy, well seasoned, and clearly smoked with care. Everything about this place felt easy and comfortable, from the service to the food. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, the kind that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. If you're anywhere near Wildwood and craving solid, no nonsense BBQ done right, M&M Old Hickory Smokehouse is absolutely worth the stop.

The young lady behind the counter was friendly, patient, and handled all of our questions like a true professional. The food was excellent across the board. My daughter ordered the burger, my wife had the salmon and turkey, my son had the ribs, and I went with the Yardbird. Everything was cooked perfectly, and no one had a single complaint. We tried a variety of sides, and the mac and cheese was the clear family favorite. While we were eating, we had a nice conversation with one of the ladies working in the dining room. She surprised us by bringing over two blueberry cobblers on the house, which was incredibly thoughtful. It was honestly the best blueberry cobbler I've ever had. Great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back. On a second visit My son and I stopped in for dinner after our CAP meeting. We placed our order and went to get our drinks. Shortly afterward, our order was ready. We both chose the smoked cheddar burger. I would have liked it to be a little hotter, but it was still very good. Of course, we paired it with fries and mac and cheese. While we were getting our food, I noticed a gentleman who had arrived before us was still waiting. He spoke with the manager and explained that he had already been waiting about 20 minutes and had not been called. The manager immediately apologized and had his order prepared on the spot. He then went a step further and issued the gentleman a full refund. It turns out the gentleman was a U.S. Navy veteran. Respect to Mission BBQ for doing the right thing and putting their customers first. That level of service still matters.

The food was wonderful - pulled port, mac & cheese, coleslaw, french fries...all delicious!

How fabulous!! 5 Stars and bonus points since the entire staff was super! A staff member came over to ensure we were enjoying our food & our cashier came out to give us more info on the program they offer for our heroes. Check out the many restaurants in varios states.
