Simply delicious!!!! I am originally from the south and know what real barbeque should taste like. The franchise definitely has got it right! The ribs are great . Not to dry or fatty. Excellent smokey taste. The sides are all hot, delicious, and well seasoned. On top of having great food was the phenomenal service. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. My family's first visit definitely won't be the last. Encourage everyone to visit so this nice restaurant won't disappear:-) read more

Oh how do I describe the BBQ Sims Billy. Overall you are somewhat tasty, but your meat is quite dry. Perhaps I had you on a bad day. I split a 4 meat combo with two side with a friend. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, hot link, mac/cheese, and beans. - Ribs: Solid smoke flavor, pulls off the bone with a decent chew, pretty tasty. - Brisket: Dry, uneventful. I'm sorry but you kind of sucked. - Pulled Pork: You were dry, but very flavorful in the smoke department. With sauce you were my fav, and I would eat a plate of you again given your close proximity to work, and convenience. - Hot Link: An awful texture like pâté to me. The heat came after and was nice, but up front flavor and the texture lacked. Mac & Cheese: Creamy, but noodles cooked into mush. Beans: See Mac & Cheese, except the piece of pork in it was a nice boost in falvor, but the beans were extremely sweet. At 12:45 on a Thursday there was no one in there. I dinned in for about 30 minutes, no one else came in. I will stick with Dickey's no doubt. read more

Dexter bussey, Horace King , Billy sims, another 1 bites the dust! Soo was hoping for a really good carry out .did not happen. 12 small kinda gristly ribs, with 1 baked potato on the side for $25. Famous daves for same price- much better ribs and more sides. read more

I must preface this review by telling you that I judge all BBQ by the standards of Lockhart's in Royal Oak. I came here on a Thursday afternoon with a friend. We got the Brisket, Pulled Pork, Ribs and Hot Link. We also got the sides of Mac and Cheese and Beans. The Ribs are a good flavor. A little more meat than other places and a good smoke. They are a dry rub, which I do prefer. The Brisket is leaner than most BBQ joints and is a bit on the dry side. It may have been a bit overcooked. The hot link was a quagmire. The texture was like a paste, and seemed a bit under cooked. The opening flavor was very bland, then BAM, HEAT! The heat was tolerable, but the flavor was off. Not a fan. The Mac and Cheese left a lot to be desired, as it was a bit bland... Tasted of a cafeteria Mac. The Beans were a bit on the soggy side for my taste, but the flavor was ok. The star of the show here is the Pulled Pork. This was the saving grace here. The smoke was great, the flavor was spot on, and it wasn't a fatty mess. Put a bit of their sweet BBQ sauce on it, and eat with some onion... You'll forget the other food wasn't that good. read more

Honestly the food is pretty good and the Loaded Potato salad is the best thing I have ever tasted but the customer service at the Enid OK location is Garbage. I don't mean to sound harsh (even though it is). I have been in customer service for Years and I have never been into this location and even received so much as a smile from a single employee. Always a really terrible attitude and honestly a complete unwillingness to help with anything at all. It kinda breaks my heart. I am always so sweet to everyone I encounter I have never once fired back with any return attitude but honestly after about my 10th visit and receiving time in and time out really angry employees it's just the saddest thing about this day and age. So just a heads up you will leave there with a full belly but you gotta grit through the rough atmosphere to get the goods. read more

I feel I'm addicted to the ribs! Enjoy meat melting in my mouth with the strong smoky smell!

The food is delicious and they really do go out of their way to accommodate you as a customer. We had the best service of any restaurant that my girlfriend and I have ever visited. read more

Great food,service, and staff! Amazing experience!

This was my first time in a Billy Sims BBQ franchise, the restaurant itself was immaculate. this is pretty close to fast food and it was as clean as any high end restaurant you will find. service - i can only assume that the lady behind the counter was the owner because of her dedication to excellent customer service. while i was eating she would come around and see if anyone needed anything, make small talk and was overall friendly. food - i had AYCE ribs for $12.99. the meal came with 2 sides, grilled bread, pickles, hot peppers. the drink was a few dollars more. the ribs where tender and cooked perfect, the sides where lacking but still cooked perfectly. i had Mac & Cheese it wasn't Kraft but it wasn't gourmet. the chips where a single serve bag of lays. some of the other sides i saw looked better then what i got. I would definitely go back if i was in the area again. great stop for quick good bbq read more

went in today and bought some pulled pork for dinner . got home and added the bbq sauce and made a couple sandwiches next thing i know i am chewing on plastic wrap!!!!! yeah i won"t be back and don"t recommend this place. truth be told i didn"t find the staff to be all that friendly either read more

One of our favorite restaurants in the area! My boyfriend and I consider coming here as a treat after a hard week. Food is always fresh and delicious. LOVE their hot links and Mac n' cheese. The owners as well as the rest of the crew are always super friendly and knowledgeable about their food. Feel free to ask suggestions :) Love Billy Sims! read more

This food is seriously delicious. My only knock would be that one time we ordered delivery, and they substituted a couple of our items. I am guessing they may have been out of the brisket, it was replace with sausage. And I ordered a pulled BBQ chicken sandwich for one of my kids, and a dry piece of turkey or chicken was used instead. They could have called and asked for replacements if they were out, instead of just substituting with whatever they wanted. Sausage seems like a wired substitute for brisket. But it was delicious. read more

Wow! Delicious! Went for the first time in September 2020 and again in October 2020. Why didn't I go sooner? More reasonably priced than another popular BBQ place in SE MI and just as delicious. The sandwich comes with a side! No need to pay extra. Love the Mac and cheese. Cole slaw is very good, not too creamy. Will continue to order from there. read more

Pulled pork dinner tasted amazing, food was fresh, service was great. Good hangout place with pals.

We went to the new location in Franklin, WI tonight and got an order to takeout. We got some ribs, barbecue baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and the key lime dessert. The ribs were soft and they pulled right off the bone. They come with a rub on them, so you do have to dip them in sauce. The sides were all good too and the key lime dessert was delicious. My only concern was that not one employee there was wearing a mask. NOT. ONE. I am used to customers not wearing masks, but most businesses that I go to , the employees are required to continue to wear masks. I was pretty turned off by this and almost walked out before ordering. Our COVID cases in Wisconsin are continuing to rise, so I feel that it is important to continue to practice safety precautions-especially if you are running a business. We will probably go back there, but it may be a while. Maybe when the cases go down again. If this is not how you typically run your business, please train your staff to use ppe. read more

Of all bbq places, this restaurant has the biggest, juiciest flavorful ribs. Not just any Billy Sims, but this location (Troy). The owner goes out of her way to please you. They also make a great sandwich called the "Heisman". And a new Pork Belly sandwich that is out of this world! I try to go every week and am never displeased. read more

Delivery came hot and soooo fast! It came well before expected delivery time. We ordered a half pound of pulled pork for sandwiches and also a pound of brisket and some sides. It made an easy fast inexpensive dinner and will order again read more

Ordered take out from here on a whim and was beyond pleased (minus forgetting the dessert but could be door dash which was quickly rectified). If you get meat, the turkey is a low key super star. But do yourself a favor and buy 11 of those banana pudding mason jars, unreal. read more

Ok, I lived in Texas for 17 years and I am also in Culinary School to become a chef so I know food and barbecue in particular. That disclosure being said, my wife and I decided to have lunch today Billy Sims as she wanted a pulled pork sandwich. As I didn't sample her sandwich, I will confine my review to my lunch, The Option, or 3 meat combination platter with brisket, Polish sausage and ribs. Our experience with Billy Sim's started off pleasantly as we were greeted by all 3 employees behind the counter, including the manager, in a friendly manner. The staff seemed to have a good knowledge of the menu and even suggested that my wife get the "Triple 20" pulled pork sandwich instead of the regular sandwich. This sandwich included melted Provolone and coleslaw on the sandwich and my wife did enjoy it. The food came to the counter fast and our table was cleared after we finished our food. A friendly "Have a nice day" rounded out our experience with the staff. The first thing that I will say about the barbecue is that I am always disappointed when you order and the staff reaches into a hotbox for a pre-portioned, cling-wrapped, pre-cooked meat. If a bbq joint doesn't have enough volume for the meats to go directly from the smoker to the cutting board to the customer then close down. Also, I am not even sure that the bbq is smoked on the premise as I could not see a smoker. The smoker should be front-and-center for all customers to see. To the meats..... The ribs come without sauce which I prefer and were, all-in-all, ok. The meat on the ribs yielded to the tooth and made a nice bite mark when taken from the center, as it should instead of it all coming off the bone. This is actually how a bbq judge will judge a competition rib, they don't want the meat falling off the bone, just tender enough to give when bitten. There wasn't much flavor to the rub on the rib and it was D-R-Y, presumably from being stashed in a hotbox for a while. A slathering of either of the sauces at the table gave the rib some flavor and added needed moisture. The next meat, the Polish sausage, was the best meat on the platter. Even though the link came from the hotbox, the fact that sausage has a roughly 20% fat content ensured that it was moist and tasty. The casing had a nice snap to it, the requisite Polish flavoring of garlic was there with a nice tint of smokiness from the cooking. The third meat was the beef brisket. Now, as I said, I spent years in Texas where beef brisket is king and I have eaten it at some of the most famous bbq place in the Lone Star State so I know my brisket. This brisket was no Texas brisket. Chopped from a slab of meat that came from the hotbox it was dry and tasteless. The crunchy bark which forms on the outside of the brisket during smoking was obliterated by its time in cling wrap and I could not even taste a hint of salt and pepper on the outside of the brisket much less any sort of spice rub. No juices flowed from the slices to run down your hands and the only way it was smoked was by the smoke ring. I didn't even finish the brisket. The two sides that I chose for with my lunch, the mustard potato salad and mac-n-cheese, were also not show stoppers. While the potato salad was good, it did not have the kick you in the head twang that a good Southern mustard potato salad has and the mac-n-cheese seemed to be a variant of Velveeta Shells and Cheese pre-packaged dinners. If my wife and I do decide to come here again, I will get the sausage. However, to me even mediocre bbq isn't worth the trouble. read more

Fantastic!! Been going to the Southfield location for a while. Stumbled into this new one today. I had never ordered anything besides ribs, but this was for lunch and just wanted a sandwich. Had the Triple 20. Outstanding!! My favorite BBQ in town. Better than Slows by far. read more

My mom told me about this place awhile ago and my response was this... FUCK YOU! Another restaurant named after a sports celebrity...how could it be good. But 7 solid yelp reviews and its close proximity to my house assured that my fat face and this place would collide. Fast food BBQ... I would have never believed it to be a viable concept, but here I sit enjoying ribs, brisket, pulled pork and a real cheap sports themed atmosphere that feels like something out of a Wayans brothers movie that never happened. Bottom line is that it's good! They are actually smoking and slow cooking the meat on site and due to the efficient setup they manage to keep the food fresh and get it out fast. This definitely scratches the itch when you don't want to wait for two hours at the woodshop and it definitely blows famous Dave's and their sawed off little freak show staff out the door! Can't wait to bring S here so he can do the truffle shuffle on a table next to a picture of Billy Sims! read more

Billy Sims BBQ - Try my ribs! - Barbeque Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Billy SIms Troy team members, Very happy to write this review as I love all the BBQ foods offered at this restaurant and even had them make all the foods for my birthday party. The meats are awesome and the sides perfect and the service doesn't get any better than this. If you want to try BBQ this is fun and quick and at a good price. Thanks and you will see me and my family everytime we want BBQ!!!!! Steve Kelly read more

The grey haired guy was completely rude to our table. Food was not good by any means. The pulled pork is dry. They only have spare ribs which were mostly fat and cartilage. Their sausage was undercooked. The sides were about as plain as they could be. I wouldn't eat here again if I was starving. read more

Been there twice. Ribs/Brisket day 1, three meat combo day 2. Brisket and pulled pork are good but the ribs are the shizzle. Sides are fine but its's about the meat.... Ain't no skinny people up in here. read more

Everything is mouth-watering good here. The brisket and smoked sausage are always my go to. Super friendly service as well.

Delish! First time to billy sims and I was very impressed! Didn't even know it existed and took a chance based on yelp reviews. I'm a fan of Slows but now I'll be going here for my BBQ. We had the ribs and brisket and both were great. Meat was smoked perfectly and quite tasty. Didn't even need sauce, but the sauce is very good. Very good Mac n cheese which isn't on the menu. My partner had the beans and loved em. Cole slaw wasn't bad but not my favorite. We decided on take out for this trip- the place is small, but its cute and clean. Will definitely be coming back!!! read more

The third best BBQ around from the third best Lions player to wear #20. That's a pretty good compliment when the people better than you are Barry Sanders and The Pub. read more

My son and I absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was nice and clean. I would definitely come here again. read more

Went here for lunch and was suprised by all my disappointments. First the staff seemed like they never barbequed before. They were distant and confused. I ordered the 2 meat sliced brisket and polish sausage. Got the beans and mac and cheese as sides. Added a drink and the bill was 17.04! I was stunned! I have ate at their competition and for the same thing the bill was 5 dollars cheaper. All the food was room temperature and the sauces are decent at best. The sweet tea was hot, melted all my ice and was still warm. I will never be back here. They need to hire some people to put some lovin' in the food. Bad location and ok food for an arm and a leg. read more

Very good. The meat tastes very fresh, not dried out. Tried the loaded potato salad, excellent.

Stopped in to place a catering order and had lunch absolutely delicious! Owner and staff are so friendly and gracious will definitely be back and tell others how good everything is! read more

awesome! great smoke ring on the pulled pork. The pulled pork was tender and succulent. The flavor was wonderful. Sauce is definately not necessary on this. The complex flavor stood out on its own. However, the hot BBQ sauce was really nice and dipping the pork into this sauce was also great. the hot links flavor was nice. great amount of heat and smoke. There was something a little weird about the texture of the meat in the sausage. I can't pinpoint it. Perhaps the grind of the meat was really fine. They were delicious and we polished them off so I don't have anything negative but the texture of the link did remind me of a mass produced sausage. Great pickes great smooth beans. sweet flavor and nice big pieces of pulled pork in the beans. I hate slaw. Don't go near it but my wife is a slaw lover and she said this slaw was delish. I found the prices to be very reasonable. I am so happy to have found great BBQ near my house! Hooray. I don't need to make the trek all the way to lazybones when I need a BBQ fix and don't feel like spending 12 hours tending to my smoker! Good Southern BBQ done right. Will be back fo sho read more

Very delicious! The beef was excellent the taste was great, great friendly people working there and not too bad of a price. Might not be busy but was great food. BBQ sauce they have on the tables is very good, makes the beef great read more

Definitely will go back. Had the four meat dinner with pork, beef brisket, chicken and ribs. Except for the chicken, Everything was great, especially the ribs. The chicken was too dry. Don't be afraid to try the Boot Kickin Hot BBQ sauce. It's really not hot at all but has just the right spicy note. For the sides...we had the cole slaw and BBQ beans...which are the best I probably have ever had. read more

Got carryout again. Everything was spot on. They were pretty busy, but the food was ready in 15 minutes as promised. Glad to see consistency in the food. read more

Got two running back dinners and turkey dinner to go, food was great ribs were excellent juicy and smokey. All the sides were great BBQ baked beans coleslaw and potato salad were all awesome. The two employees there were so nice and explained everything to me, I will definitely be a repeat customer. Now my best BBQ place around. read more

The best BBQ I have ever had!!! people that work here are very nice. Will come again. Soon

I had the pleasure of trying this location for lunch today and i will never waste my time or money here again in this lifetime! I'm not a fan of their gristle fatty ribs so I decided on something simple and safe......a loaded baked potato with chopped chicken. The potato was brown and looked as if it was over cooked. I called the store and spoke to Dave who suggested they are smoked and should be brown and not white and fluffy......he stated multiple times he needed to see what i was talking about and to bring the potato back to the store in order to get something else!?!? I explained i was working and could i come in on Monday and he said I needed to come back today with the potato. I ended the call and won't bother with this place again! The chopped chicken was also covered in fat and undercooked. Thanks for nothing you idiots! read more

Very friendly staff, good flavor, clean atmosphere, but a little pricey for what you get in a casual fast food concept. We will go back if I find a coupon. The ribs, coleslaw and bread were all tasty, my son loved it, but I had to explain who Billy Sims was. read more

Owners and staff are very friendly and caring. The restaurant is clean. The food has great flavor and is tender. Definitely a must try!
