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.

Coleslaw was great to me when it tasted more like mayonnaise coleslaw instead of vinegar coleslaw. The potato salad was great if the potatoes are cooked well but several times I've bought it as a side to go but the potatoes were undercooked and crunchy. I ended up throwing it away. They need to update their website. They're closed on Tuesday now. I drove all the way out there on a Tuesday. Sign said open, but they were closed. They need to fix that for customers that come from surrounding areas. Basic country diner with overall 8/10 food but potential for 10/10 with a couple side items fixed.

I found Head's using the iExit app today and since it was rated high on Yelp, decided to give it a…read moretry. Good decision! First, if you realize as I do that some of the best BBQ is found in out-of-the-way, hole in-the-wall places, then you'll understand why I felt sure I should visit when I saw the pics of the place. Good news here - "out of the way" is less than a mile off the interstate on a little side street that starts with a few houses and quickly becomes small farms - down home people but very convenient for travelers like me. Then, when I walked in and asked about some of the sides and the lady at the counter said, "Well, I make the white beans myself and cut the potatoes for the hash brown casserole by hand", I knew what to order with the ribs and pork. My to-go order was brought to the counter about two minutes after I finished paying (literally!)...quicker than most fast food restaurants...by a gentleman that I assumed is the lady's husband. Obviously, those two are the owners. Hands-on, A+ service always makes me want to go back...if the food is good. And things just kept getting better from there! The half rack of ribs were cooked nicely and were very tasty. I ordered to go but was still a bit surprised the ribs weren't cut, so I'll know to ask for that next time unless I'm planning to take them home with me. The pork was chopped pretty fine, more than I prefer, but had a really nice smoky flavor and was just a little dry but not much (the only reason for my 4 rating rather than a 5). And like all good BBQ places (in my opinion!), they put the tasty, spicy vinegar-based sauce in a small container where you can take it or leave it, depending on your preference. Trust me - if you like good BBQ and homemade sides served by people who really appreciate your business, give Head's a try. You won't be disappointed! The sides were terrific! The white beans were well cooked and had a nice flavor. And the hash brown casserole - wow! Exceptional cheesy texture, fresh and obviously the lady wasn't kidding that they are homemade - that was apparent! I'd go back just for it! They also include a fresh homemade cornbread "hoecake" (fried light brown) with every plate - good texture and fitting complement with the meat and entire meal. If you can't tell by now - I'll be back the next time I'm traveling on I-24 through the Clarksville area!!

Pitiful BBQ. I think reviewer, Dr. P. was simply being kind…read more We've been passing the Head's BBQ sign for a couple of months and decided to check it out. The place was easy to find and had plenty of parking. Inside it was very cute and looked well cared for. We were so happy it smelled clean-but thankfully didn't smell of disinfectant. The kitchen was clean; floors and kitchen countertops all clean. Now we're really getting our hopes up! So we look at he menu. Standardly priced BBQ, not a lot of choices - but there's BBQ pork, chicken and ribs, so that sounds promising. The woman at the counter took our order- but was surprisingly unfriendly. "Whatever", we thought, maybe she's had a bad morning. A couple of minutes later, the ribs are packed in foil and the half chicken (a tiny, little-bitty chicken, mind you) in a little half box, and off we go home to try out the food. Oh, what a disappointment! The rib meat was so dried out and tough, we had to throw half of it away as it could not be chewed! The chicken was worse. Had that awful flavor of being a few days old. Completely inedible. We called over and spoke with the woman whom we presume was Mrs. Head to express our disappointment. She offered no kind words, no apologies nor any attempt to build customer relations with a new potential customer. Instead, said only that we could drive it all back and get a refund. Then I asked her, "Are you happy with the quality of the food you served us?" Without a pause, she said "Yes. People like it". Which leaves me with this: 1.) either these "people" she refers to are not accustomed to the flavor and texture that fresh, well-cooked food tastes like, or, 2.) this woman knew the food was old and decided to sell her soul to the devil for a buck. I won't be back, but if you go- I hope you have better luck!

I wish I could give it a better review simply because the young man behind the counter was so…read morefriendly and professional. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of the meal (though I will say that their potato salad was also pretty good). I went with a pulled pork plate. Dor my sides, I went with potato salad and mac and cheese. Originally, I was looking at the onion rings, but I asked if they were made in-house and the polite young man working the counter replied that all the fried food was frozen. I asked if the other stuff was made in-house and he confirmed that it was. While I waited for my food, I noticed how small the place was. Not a big deal, but I did notice. The ambiance was not bad, though. My food came out pretty quickly. The mac and cheese, supposedly made in house, tasted more like it came out of a box (like Kraft macaroni and cheese). I guess technically even if it was out of a box with dehydrated cheese and you just add milk, it is theoretically still made in-house. Basically, the mac and cheese was definitely a huge let down. The potato salad was pretty good. I enjoyed it. This was the best thing on my plate. The pulled pork was also disappointing. I have to wonder if this was bought from a food distributor. Again, the young man working here was very friendly and professional, but the food was definitely lackluster. I really cannot recommend here.
