Best WLM Reviews

Wow, we drove by this restaurant and decided we wanted some BBQ for dinner. We didn't expect much because of its location, but the reviews were great, so we gave it a shot. I can't believe how great the bbq was here. Everything was great and on point. We order the 3 meat platters(ribs, brisket, and sausage)with jalapeno corn and cheese poetatos with corn bread. We have eaten at some great BBQ restaurants, and this ranks in the top. If you are in the area, stop by. You will not want to miss out on this experience.
From the minute we walked in until we left, the waitstaff was super friendly and helpful.
The setup was really interesting but it worked for this place, just a fun atmosphere.
The food, yum! Found the restaurant on an internet search, so glad we did. The beans, out of the world delicious!!! The Mac and cheese, nice and creamy, the pulled pork, I have no words it was so good!!
Definitely recommend, but get there early! Once the smoked meat is gone, it is gone for the day.
Excellent atmosphere and staff. Then the food is amazing. Great representation of a pork tenderloin sandwich in their Double Wide...the ribs and brisket were so tender and juicy. Worth the visit! **Almost forgot, be sure to try their spicy sauce. Just the right amount of heat and sweet.
I don’t know much about bbq but this place was great. Had the Saturday special beef ribs and they were absolutely dynamite. My wife couldn’t get enough of the jalapeño corn and cheese potatoes. What a great combo. Server was really nice and recommended the brews. Great choices and great food
The service was kinda bad but the food is amazing. Delicious really. The brisket was perfect and the pulled pork melted in my mouth.
We catered Whatcha Smokin’ BBQ + Brew for our wedding and it was the best idea! We have had several people use them and had positive reviews.
We loved how attentive they were and provided us with everything we needed.
Definitely recommend! We had the turkey, pulled pork, salad, and cheesy potatoes. They only have ranch so make sure to bring your own DF option.
First, the foods were good. Fries and corn bread were impressive. Meats were also good, but not very uniquely good.
Secondly and the more importantly, even the foods were good they really didn’t worth the waiting time. My family waited over 45 mins for meat only, and we were not aware of that we had to wait so long. Nobody told us even the field was full of angry people waiting. I was there at 2:30pm Saturday so normally it shouldn’t be a peak time. I came into the restaurant and saw there were only three people were cooking. All the staff seemed relaxed and pretty accustomed to so many people waiting.
A decent BBQ restaurant is not super rare in DSM. And their price was not competitive. I didn’t see any point why I had to eat there concerning the unbearable waiting time.
Been back several times since my first visit. If you're looking for authentic BBQ from the moment you step in the door, this is the place. The food is amazing and the atmosphere and service are unmatched.
