Best WLM Reviews

Ribs that fall off the bone, Mac & cheese skillet w/ pulled pork & jalapeno bacon bits, brisket, fried catfish, fried okra and I can go on as they were all next level!
Also, the sauces were excellent especially if you like the hot one but my favorite was the House Bold Bourbon which was smooth, mild, light smoke, and a touch of bourbon.
As great as the food was, the live jazz and blues was off the chain, especially when Joe can make it out from the kitchen.
A must stop for anyone that enjoys good food, great people, and a chill vibe!!!
DRY AND OVERPRICED! ????
My aunt and I love BBQ and were excited to support a local business near her house. I have never felt so ripped off and price gouged…$18.50 for a sandwich with one single slice of beef brisket!
We placed our to go order at 7:15PM. They didn’t close until 9:00PM. If the food looked this poor, the kitchen should have never even served it (see photos).
BEEF BRISKET SANDWICH WITH MAC & CHEESE INCLUDED $18.50
•BEEF BRISKET: Was so dry and had the texture of beef jerky. My aunts knife wouldn’t even cut through it.
•SANDWICH ROLLS: So dry, they fell apart when we attempted to cut the sandwich.
•MAC & CHEESE: The pasta was mushy, dry, and had absolutely no cheese flavor.
This is an amazing little BBQ spot perfect for a date night especially if you like live music!!! Excellent customer service and pretty quick food service as well. Quickly becoming a go to lunch spot for quality and tasty food!!!
A great neighborhood joint with great food, family owned focused service, love music (as scheduled). Cole slaw is excellent, fried okra how I like it. Ribs look amazing as I wait for them! And, just ordered a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving! Food is great. Owners are great. Sauces are great! By the way, the ribs were smoked and amazing! Great night
This BBQ spot is a fantastic find, especially for a date night with live music! The customer service is great, and the food comes out fast too. It’s quickly becoming my favorite spot for a quality, tasty lunch!
My wife and I had a wonderful time here. The owner and his wife were very kind to us, and the food was absolutely top notch. We were treated to a couple of jazz tunes the owner played on the keys, and he invited us to play a little as well (we are both musicians).
The meat was tender and flavorful (we tried just about every kind they had, and brought some home for the kiddos). The corn bread was sweet and moist. The sauces were great too! We will be back!
The owner says they typically have live music on Fridays and Saturdays (we were here on a Wednesday during a Suns game, so it was kinda quiet).
Please don’t bother stopping here
I love bbq and go to many places to try and this was by far the worst in my opinion. Sadly was very disappointed especially for the pricing. The older gentleman that took our order was the only thing that made me smile while I was there. Brisket dry clearly made in an oven.
Fry’s unseasoned clearly made from a grocery bought bag.
BBQ sauce is just sweet baby rays.
Not impressed and honestly feel ripped off. Make sure u read the reviews because we surely should have.
I’m not sure if they had an off day. It is skip this one at all costs. The waitress was horrible. Argued with me about what I ordered. I ordered brisket and cornbread. About 25 minutes later, the brisket comes out and they say we only have chopped. Wow. It was over cooked and dry. My buddy had the ribs and they were decent. The corn bread was good as was the Mac and cheese.
The bill comes and it’s wrong. They fix it and my buddy is going to sign it, he tells the girl and she says I need the pen for an order. I’m thinking what??? You have one pen in the entire place???
Nope is the simple answer.
