Definitely open to coming back. The good - the service was friendly, warm and fast. Brisket sandwich with the caramelized onion...yum. Cripsy steak fries. The decent - baby back ribs was okay. The not so good - baked beans + mashed potatoes wasn't my cup of tea. And the Mac and cheese. *Sigh* I always get a little excited if it says baked. But it's hard to find good mac and cheese for me.

Good customer service and great food. I ordered my food to go. The greens was better then what I expected well seasoned. The cornbread was moist, the steak fries was good and not overly cooked. The baby back ribs was well seasoned it could've been a little more juicy but was very tender. I will return again.

Staff was super helpful and the food was absolutely delicious! My woman and I ate ourselves into a food coma and wished we had space to eat more! It's a small place, so be aware of that especially if you're in a group larger than 8. Overall, it's a great place to eat if you're going on a date! I spent about $60 here for an appetizer, two drinks, and two full meals, but honestly, the appetizers alone are big enough to feed 2 people! Definitely, DEFINITELY try their ribs!!!

Love this place! I've been here a few times now and have never left unhappy. The fried chicken sandwich is amazing. The sauces are all so good I can never stick to just one. The meats are always tender and juicy. The Mac n' cheese is to die for. Servers are friendly. Food comes out quick. The homemade whiskey lemonade is a steal at only $4. Great spot!

The service the service was great. Pulled chicken was very good the corn bread that came with it was good and toast collard greens were exceptional. Brisket sandwich the large one was also terrific and my daughter's hamburger was exceptional also. I would recommend Fat Willy's.

One of my favorite BBQ restaurants in the city, easily one of the best. Everything is good, seriously everything. My personal favorites include the pulled chicken sandwich, pulled pork, brisket, steak fries with spicy mayo, and then everything else on the menu. The food is awesome, the people are nice, and the service is quick. Don't hesitate, just go and eat!

I love this place. Cozy, the service is quick and friendly, the food is delicious. Overall a great place to dine with a group of friends or family or just keep it 1 on 1. Right next to the movie theater so you can plan a great date night! They have great music too. Definitely returning.

The waitress was very friendly. Atmosphere is very fitting for what this place is trying to pull off. The quick smoke they try works for the ribs, it does not work for the brisket. You can tell it has not been smoking long enough and smoked too fast. It was dry and tough. The cornbread was delicious! The ribs definitely did not suffer from the higher temperature cooking. They we're tender and the sauce worked. Easily the best thing I ate. Their other sauces just...no. We will come for the ribs, cornbread and delicious mashed potatoes.
