    Ok well I hate to leave a bad review on this place but here goes.... nice staff cool set up inside and clean but man let me tell you the ribs I ordered were really just not good at all. They were tuff no flavor almost watery inside just plain bad. The brisket, not anything to write home about either tuff and flavorless but better than the ribs. Asked staff if I could buy the sausage she had recommended while ordering and offered to pay for it. She ended up giving it to me on the house so that was nice and it was actually pretty tasty. Maybe a consistency issue here I don't know but for a 30$ lunch I need it to be on point this was not. I probably won't be back unfortunately because I love good BBQ.

    Can't believe I am leaving a bad review for a BBQ place that we loved. Stopped and got a rack of ribs for supper tonight and got home and they are not edible. I wouldn't feed them to my dogs. Opened the box and the smell wasn't good. They looked grey. No sauce and heavy peppercorns. No rub, no nothing. The meat would not come off the bone. Tried to eat them but couldn't. Glad I didn't after looking through the box. Not sure if I got ribs that weren't cooked all the way or what. Needless to say it is the worst ribs I have ever had in my life.

    We ordered a full rack of ribs and sausage. The ribs tasted like it was made with liquid smoke because there was bitterness and toughness to the meat. It was kind of disappointing. My mother and sister hated it so much so I ate it all by myself. I was hungry so I ate it because i paid $40+. The service was impeccable and everything was clean though.

    Beef brisket with an inch of fat. Very disappointing.

    This was the 2nd time we tried Willie Mae's. I ordered 1lb. Beef Brisket. I asked then to sliced the brisket in thin slices so we could make sandwiches. When I arrived home, the slices were very thick. Each slice had more than an inch of fat! Not sure if I would return.

    Finally got to try Willie Mae's.....should have waited longer.

    We love this place but don't get to go often as we both do not work in town. When we have a day off we try to go.

    Nothing less than perfection. The brisket is loaded with moisture and flavor.

    I liked the barbecue and the green beans were a solid side. Make sure you get the sauces (there are like 5 of them).

    Um no.......just NO,…read more POSITIVES: The wings were great, fall off the bone, and super tender. My dad also really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. The hot bbq sauce (thick one) was good, too. NEGATIVE: Everything else? I got the very last order of Ribs. (at 4:30 on a Saturday) I ordered the 1/2 rack. They were SO tough and they weren't anywhere near a 1/2 rack. I got 5 HALF bones. They were so dry, burnt, and had next to no meat. My mom did the combo plate where she got 3 full size ribs that were super meaty. (albeit dry) The beans had a good flavor, but it was like bean soup......few beans, lots of liquid. The Mac n Cheese HAD to of been frozen Stouffer's or something similar. Definitely not homemade. The coleslaw was subpar, as were the fried apples and dinner roll. I will say - the prices are great, and I'd get the wings with a side of hot bbq IF I was forced to eat there. I'm glad we didn't pay a lot because it wouldn't have been worth it. Middle TN has a LOT of really good BBQ. If you can't do it well - don't do it at all.

    WARNING!! Do not go to this place near close. The entire meal was trash (spent $40). The beef was…read moredry, the potato wedges were so hard and dry that I choked on them, the corn bread was stale and cold, the rolls were literally hard as a rock. The only thing that was good were the buns (what they did not cook). I have been to the location in Mt. Juliet and it is amazing. I will never be back to this location, which is now unfortunately the closest to my house. Do better or just close down!!! I wish I would have read the other reviews before wasting the gas to go to this location.

    I am so glad I made it to Galbiya for some authentic Korean food! We called in an order right…read morebefore they closed, so I was thrilled to get to talk to the very nice owner who told us it wasn't too late to get takeout. Sadly I rarely take photos of takeout food (I need to do better about this!) We got dumplings, ramen, and pork Bibimbap. The owner was so friendly and shared they make homemade kimchi which was fabulous and may have been my favorite thing. The bibimbap was a close second though, it was so flavorful and delicious. I couldn't stop eating it! The dumplings were also fantastic. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the ramen, but I think it's just because they do so many other things better. The restaurant is continent and in a strip mall, with a good amount of tables. I'd really like to dine in next time so I can get the true, full experience. I can't wait to come back!
