The employees are always very kind and operate very efficiently. The food is always tasty and served quickly. The atmosphere is always light and easy going. I have been eating here for about 20 years and have not had a bad experience yet, and would be shocked if I did at this point. To answer the next question, no, nobody asked me to submit a review. I saw the QR code on the receipt and filled it out on my own. read more

Had no idea that they had bar b q with pimento cheese on toasted bread. Delicious! Dry clean very nice service. Never had it before but you gout to try it! read more

This is THE place for lunch or dinner in Jackson. Wibs is certainly a favorite of mine--in fact, go in and ask for an order of my own menu option, Shanna's Chili Cheese Fries (when chili is in season). Scrumptious! Other favorites are their Combination BBQ and Pimento sandwich, The BEST fries and one of the few places left ON EARTH, that still offers FRIED Pies--YUM! The staff are more like friends and I never tire of seeing old faces returning home and being welcomed back! read more

Excellent BBQ, not too many menu items which shows in the quality of said items. Wide selection of foods and good enough service which is all you can hope for. The ambience was really good, and I typically couldn't care less for such a thing but the vibes are quite nice. very good restaurant with a lot of history read more

workers was rest head where the orders come out at. also orders was lost more than one. an adult should really be there to supervise cause they had my food sit there for 15 min then said oh this has to be yours we had a name and they couldn't find the order read more

My parents are from SEMO and started eating here back in the 1950s. Although I grew up in St. Louis, we always ate lunch here when visiting family, downing our sandwiches at the counter that's been replaced by booths. After I had kids, we started bringing them in when visiting family. When my son moved to Texas for school, he jokingly requested that we stop at Wib's and bring him a sandwich when we visited. We pulled in when they opened, ordered 20 sandwiches, and packed them in a cooler for the drive down. We had one very surprised and happy student! Would we love Wib's as much if we had it every day? Maybe not, but we love eating here when we're in town. Two hot outsides for my partner, two extra hot combinations for me, and a fries to share. Mmmm. Enjoy it if you live there! We'll be back next time we're in town. read more

Wib's Drive In - American Near Me - Jackson, Missouri

I was not impressed at all, even though I am from Texas, I could barely find the meat on anything and and then to top it off with pimento cheese I thought that would be really great, no not at all the two of them barely and I use the word, barely very loosely, make a sandwich, and then on top of thin bread well .. definitely was a bomb !!!! I tried this place 3 three times, I normally don't put a bad review or a negative opinion, but they need to step it up and put some meat on their sandwiches!!! read more

their food is so dry i can't even bite into it and there was bugs in my sandwich would never go back.

Very limited menu items but what they're good at they do well a favorite when I come back to town must try the outer sandwich with if you know you know read more

Fresh in from Minnesota excited for a regular. Used to eat here as a kid when I lived in the area and have always stopped in EVERY time I have visited over the last 30 years. Today was my last time. The place has really gone down hill in recent years. The server was just down right rude and seemed to be completely unhappy. The building and service counter need some serious upgrades! Dining area needs to be bigger and certainly could use a makeover; very noisy. The sandwiches are now mostly bread. Where's the meat? And unless you really want or need chili, don't bother. It's mediocre at best. I was absolutely shocked and pleased that tap to pay was available but still used paper receipts. Seriously? I was surprised at how much the prices have gone up. And that's the main reason I will not be back. $26 for one person for lunch for a few sandwiches, a drink and chili. What exactly was I paying for? They also charge more if you don't pay cash. Good way to alienate your future and younger customers. read more

An absolute staple of Jackson, MO. Go in and get you a combination (or 3) and a Fitz and you will not be disappointed.

When I first moved here I asked around and people said this was the place for BBQ After a few visits I started to scratch my head and wonder what they saw? It was like getting two pieces of bread with very little BBQ in the middle in fact it looked closer to BBQ sauce as you did not see much meat in it? I even asked for more meat and they refused? Although others rave about this place I'm just gonna pass on it as they don't put more meat on the sandwich like I desire as I like to get some BBQ meat in my sandwich not two pieces of bread. read more

I have eaten at bad places before, but I have never felt more robbed than being sold the most plain fries and toast being called "bbq". There was practically no meat and very little cheese on white bread. The restaurant is falling apart, the AC leaked on us while we ate. It's not clean and the staff wasn't friendly. Perhaps since I wasn't a local I had to get the could shoulder treatment. I don't typically wish ill on a business, but this place should shut down. I absolutely do not understand the appeal. Go to literally anywhere else and actually get some food. read more

This place has some of the most amazing food and history that I've ever tasted and read. The combination sandwich was absolutely incredible and exceeded every expectation that I could have ever set. The service was okay and our waitress was friendly! I like the old look of the joint and the atmosphere in the room. It was very welcoming and pleasing to know that I could eat a good meal in such a nice and friendly place! It was also almost empty which was very nice! Thank you Wib's! read more

Yummy! Got the bbq sandwich and it was delicious. Great & friendly staff. Meets expectations for a drive in!

Sorry, I just don't get it. If you like dry meat and toast smashed down, then you will love it.

We have been going here for years. Its tradition to eat a bbq every time we come to town for a visit.

I grew up in Cape Girardeau Missouri and relocated to California but every time I come home I and my sister make a trip to Wib's BBQ. I like the minced barbecue sandwich myself and my sister like the sliced barbecue sandwich however it is not for the hungry man who would like a Dagwood sandwich!! The family owned business has always been a nice comfortable place to sit down and have lunch. I've been eating here probably over 50 years and I'm not tired yet ! read more

In 2010, I moved to this area from Kansas City. So, my advice when considering Wib's Drive In, and acknowledging that they use the word "Bar b que" in their advertising, is that you put away all notions of racks of ribs, stacks of brisket meat, piles of pulled pork or bowls brimming with pit beans (like one would find in KC)... Okay... Are you there? Are you open for another definition of barbecue? Good. Because this place is different - and it is good. What Wib's features is "toasted barbecue" sandwiches in several iterations. My favorite is an "Outside Combination - Hot." That means that the sandwich is assembled with outside or "bark" meat from a smoked pork shoulder, placed on white bread spread with a bot barbecue sauce, homemade pimento cheese on top of that, then topped with another piece of bread - and then pressed / toasted into warm, smokey, cheesy, spicy greatness. Their fries are very good, but the side that's the best is their homemade vinegar / sugar slaw. Some of the best you'll ever have. The service is excellent. This place is a local favorite and a slice of local flavor. So do yourself a favor, and enjoy Wib's today for what it is: unique and very good. read more

A Jackson institution. This place has been satisfying locals for years. Viva el Wibs! Good barbecue. read more

You leave a little hungry just because the portion sizes are smaller than most but the food is amazing. Im always left craving more and if you hear the name wibs, your mouth always begins to water. They taste and experience leaves you wanting to come back for more. read more

Awesome local BBQ joint... Unique toasted BBQ sandwiches... Add homemade pimento cheese for a great tasting combo. Long-time owners are family friends. People from long distances away make sure they stop off I55 for a Wibs (fix) when possible! :) read more

Wib's Drive In - We love this place. We are from Indiana but every time we come back to Jackson our son has to get two outside combo extra hot. - American Near Me - Jackson, Missouri

Wib's food is excellent and the prices are sensible. At Wib's, the food and service is worth the cost.

It's ok, french fries are great, very little meat on sandwich, pimento cheese is excellent, just not my favorite!!

Avoid stopping here, bcuz their prices r to expensive. Their sandwiches r high. If u want the real barbeque go to a real barbeque joint

One of those places that is iconic for the area. The fact that they rarely if ever change makes it an experience to enjoy when you've been away from home for awhile. Excellent sandwiches, the crispiest fries in the area and their handmade cherry cokes are the best! Stop in and try it! read more

If you are looking for an old out dated restaurant, where most of the people you interact with have an attitude, and overpriced mediocre food, this is your place!! read more

A local favorite we love! My favorite is the a Combination Hot (chopped pork and pimento cheese, yum!) read more

Wib's Drive In - Combination hot bar-b-que with fries. - American Near Me - Jackson, Missouri

When I was a kid this was my favorite place to be. My Granny and Ma-Ma took me to Wib's BBQ for a sandwich wrapped in a brown paper sack and we would have a cold bottle of Milde's Cream Soda, take it behind Wib's building and wade in the creek. That sandwich was insanely good and that soda absolutely perfect. Summers in Jackson Missouri could ever be replaced! I am so happy to see Wib's is still operating! read more

I grew up visiting my grandparents and relatives in Jackson every summer. My mom also grew up in Jackson and retired there a number of years ago. So Wib's is a place that is kinda in my blood. My grandfather was a vet and had his business directly next door for many years (now gone). There's not much here I don't like...maybe the 'relish' sandwich. But everything else is outstanding. It's really an institution in Jackson and the surrounding area. When I go with my mom or uncle we almost always run into someone they know. It's a simple concept...white bread sandwiches with BBQ pork shoulder from either the 'inside' or 'outside' meat. Option of a homeade pimento cheese spread - which you would think would never work but OHHHH it does!!! Fries are amazing as well. When I visit I usually find a way to eat here every day (sometimes I have to sneak out so my wife won't lecture me on overdoing it). When my mom visits us in California I make here bring me some on the airplane. If you're ever in southeast MO make sure you go out of your way to get here! read more

The BBQ is unique & wonderful. The fries are the best ever. The sweet tea is great, too. A long-time Jackson hot spot. Great service, too.

I am traveling from out of town. Stopped when I found this place on yelp. I wanted something quick after a late business meeting. The food was good and reasonably priced. Portion was perfect for me, but could see where someone with a hearty appetite would think it needed a bit more meat. Overall, had a pleasant experience and would recommend trying it. read more

Wibs definitely offers something unique, but I'm hard pressed to consider what I had BBQ. I had the combo pork sandwich that comes grilled with pimento cheese. I couldnt taste the pork (it was in a sauce and there was so little of it) and the melted cheese was so heavy it was like a rotel cheese dip sandwich. I'm planning to go back for a do-over. read more

My husband and son always have to stop at Wibs whenever we are in town. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays to that sometimes becomes an issue. They generally like the "minced" which is like a smoked pork salad sandwich, the combination which is homemade pimento cheese with barbeque pork and the "hots" which are thinly sliced smoked pork with hot barbeque sauce. I like the "regulars" which are the same as the "hots' just with regular barbeque sauce. My guys like to order a sack full of sandwiches when we go, they are the size of a standard piece of white bread, nice and toasty, thin, not heaping with meat. This place always seems to be crowded, it's a local institution in Jackson. You can dine inside or get take out, they offer sides but we usually don't order them. I got the fries last time and they were plentiful, I was able to share my order with our group of 4. read more

Very unique. Actually went here based on Yelp reviews. Staff was super friendly. Food was good. I expected a little more meat on the combination sandwich, but it was good. read more

Great combinations, I've never had a better BBQ sandwich. Wibs is my favorite restaurant,but they're not open Sunday's and Monday's.

First I want to say I love this place. I grew up eating it and it remains my favorite place in SEMO. Best sauce ever! That said, they are kind of tight with the meat for the price you pay per sandwich. The meat itself lacks any smoke flavor. To me though the sauce more than makes up for it. I wish you could buy the sauce! I also wish they'd open a location in Cape as well so I could get my fix more often. read more

Okay at best. Very little meat on the sandwiches. I would have to be really craving it to go again
