I wish they had Coke instead of Pepsi products but I need to drink more water anyway. The place was clean and comfy. We got the brisket plate with Mac-n-cheese & cornbread. I got the seasoned fries and hubby got the plain fries. I will be back!!

As someone who lived in Texas for nearly 20 years before relocating to Tennessee, I have a deep…read moreappreciation, and admittedly high standards, when it comes to barbecue. My daughter and I recently dined at Willie Mae's Barbecue, and I can confidently say this was an exceptionally positive experience. From the first bite, the barbecue delivered a bold, authentic flavor profile that immediately resonated. The meats were tender, expertly prepared, and layered with richness that created a true flavor explosion. Every element reflected intention and skill. The selection of barbecue sauces further elevated the meal. Each sauce offered a distinctive, well-balanced profile that complemented the meat beautifully without overpowering it. The variety and quality were impressive. The live music added an energetic and welcoming atmosphere, enhancing the overall dining experience without distracting from the meal. It created a setting that felt both relaxed and vibrant. Finding barbecue of this caliber in Tennessee, especially in a smaller town like Springfield, was a refreshing and welcome surprise. Sharing the experience with my daughter made it even more meaningful. When she returns from Texas, we will absolutely be back.

You can order online but I like a personal touch - and I have very specific brisket requirements (lean) - so I phoned in the order and the person taking my order was courteous and helpful. This wasn't the best BBQ I've had in 40+ years on the planet but it wasn't the worst either. I'd give it a solid B (4 stars) because of the customer service.

The people who run it are so friendly, the food was delicious, and it was full of charm inside. We ate outside in the back overlooking the river and woods. It was really nice to sit back there. Our food was really tasty - especially the brisket and the mac and cheese. The pork shoulder and the chicken were all really memorable as well. We all liked the sweet sauce, but the spicy sauce was good too. Overall, just a perfect place to stop on your way through Bowling Green. Can't wait to eat here again

Just me but I would have rather 3 thick pieces , near 1/2 inch that strips like it was gyro or belly . Service was impeccable , I was asked 5 times if I had meen helped . Hot bbq sauce was great and saved it . Again my opinion vinegar salw needed more vinegar. Mac and cheese but again everyone thinks that Mac is the best . I would have preferred more bark , just a tad dry , but I was not asked if o wanted flat or fatty. Overall a salad 3.8 to 4. I'm a BG boy and love food . They could just turn the corner a little and they would be a Michelin Star .

When I asked about the waitress seemed offended and wouldn't add lettuce that this was the norm. I refused it and asked for corn. She never came back. The other waitress did. Messed up my order giving me casserole instead of mashed potatoes. Then they forgot the relish that was requested. Ketchup bottles were empty and we got up and got one from the other table. Then we get to the register to pay and they tried to charge us for a tea we didn't order. Sad. We will not be back.
