I got the three meat carnivore plate - burnt ends, pulled pork and brisket. Everything was delicious and there was too much to eat for one sitting. The burnt ends were sooo good and sweet, and the bark on the brisket was perfect. My wife got the brisket plate that came with banana pudding- also amazing- and my son had the pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich was huge! And tastes great! This is basically a take out place. Very friendly service. The cook asked me how I liked the fat content on the brisket, and he delivered it perfectly. We love getting bbq whenever we're in the south. D2 is the best we've had.

Really good Q in downtown Dickson. I had a plate with the pulled pork and Brisket. The brisket was…read morejuicy and full of flavor, the pulled pork was a little dry, but still flavorful. They have two types of barbecue sauce, mild and hot. I felt that the hot was too spicy and mild was fine, but both didn't really have the best flavor profiles and I also prefer a thicker sauce as these sauces were very thin. The baked beans were excellent and the star of the show. I also had the potato salad, which was very good. I would highly recommend NOT sitting at the outside tables like we did. The road noise was ridiculous! It seems that every other car had an exhaust that was obnoxiously loud and deafening to the point where you couldn't hear the person across the table from you.

There were signs saying 'Drive through only' and it wrapped around the smoker pit, and stack of hardwood. The smoke/meaty smell was making me hungry and stomach growl before I could get to the order speaker.

They worked with me to get me an out of town hungry guy tray...ok I ordered 1/2 # of most meats. I ended up with brisket, smoked chicken, pulled pork, and some ribs. The half smoked chicken was some of the best I have had in my life, and was the fist thing I finished off. Lots of great flavor and tenderness. The ribs were tender, flavorful and made me want more. The brisket was tender, juicy and just full of flavor. The pulled pork was also good and very tasty. I'd go back for more if I am ever in the area

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.

The white beans were canned but seasoned up just right and the hoecake were a bit greasy but to me :) perfect!! Rick is the Pitmaster, Sherry will probably take your order and ring ya out. If. Not her it'll be Alma or Olean. And Gilbert is running around close by. There all family and when you walk into the small, 4 table, 16 seat dining room it sorta seems like your parta the family.
