I got a two meat plate with spare ribs and brisket with sweet potato and potato salad as sides. Both meats were great and the sweet potato was delicious! Next time I'd be tempted to get the sweet corn instead of the potato salad. I also ordered a sweet tea, which was GIANT and delicious lol. My bf got the pulled pork sandwich (always his fave item to get at any BBQ place), and it was a stand out! The pulled pork was so fatty and umami, I thought it had butter! I'd be tempted to order that myself next time. LOVED our server. She was so attentive and sweet! Ambiance is very casual. read more

This place is just ok. The bbq was good but the brisket was lacking for me. The beef rib was great and huge but also over $30. Sides were all just ok except the Mac n cheese which was very good. read more

Dee Willie's BBQ was alright. This place had pretty standard BBQ - it wasn't really anything special. I was expecting better for a non-chain BBQ spot. The sausage links were very flavorful but the brisket was rather dry and crumbly. The sides were alright but not anything to write home about. The cream corn and mac n cheese were good but came out cold. The coleslaw was more of a salad. It had red cabbage, kale, and dried cranberries which is not what I imagine when I order coleslaw. The BBQ sauces were also just alright. The "spicy" one was (as someone who can barely tolerate heat) tangy at best. Dee Willie's, however, really shown through with their sweets. The pecan cobbler was spectacular. It was the perfect cross between pecan pie and a cobbler. I would say that the prices are very steep for what you get. Our waitress was very sweet. She had a playful personality and provided positive and quick service. The space was very big. There were many tables and a small stage for live performances. I imagine it would be a very lively place on a weekend night. This place is connected to a bar with some slot machines if you want to grab a drink before or after your meal. On a Thursday evening, about an hour before closing, there was only one other table dining in which may be telling about their food quality. There were a few take-out orders - one of which I overheard received an incorrect order upon pickup. I'm sure there are better BBQ spots in the area, especially for the price so I'm not sure I would recommend this one. read more

Dee Willie’s BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We arrived and were greeted with a smile and a friendly face. We ordered the 1 meat and 2 sides platter. I got the brisket for the meat. It was tender and juicy, but not a lot of smoke flavor. The sides were pretty good which is not typical of a BBQ joint. The resturant was clean and decorated so cute like the old west. There's a bar connected to it as well. read more

Dee Willie’s BBQ - 1 meat platter - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Stopped by for lunch had three meat plate with cream, corn, and beans I chose brisket, sausage and ribs Everything seemed good if there was a weak point, it would be the cream corn. $27 for a slice of brisket, half length of sausage and maybe two small ribs. I get it. Barbecue is expensive. So with that being said, the service is good, attentive, and the barbecue sauces are decent. They have mild and spicy. Lunch set me back $33 for a three minute plate and ice tea. No harm no foul. Decent barbecue, a little pricier than what I would pay. The sweet tea is sweet. love it Enjoy. read more

I came here a few days ago because I was craving brisket and a friend recommended it to me. The brisket and the pork ribs were sooooooooooooo good!!!!!!! The service was nice and they had my to go order out to me fast. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because the sausage was incredibly dry. Otherwise I recommend this place!!! read more

Ordered food through DoorDash and was missing an item that was $5.50 but besides that, ribs were dry and had a burnt taste to them. I'm not visiting or placing any orders from this place again. Just saying! read more

Haven't really wanted to try this place which is weird for me....I love BBQ and I LOVE to eat! The lady up front was kinda rude so I just left. I finally decided to give this place a go and i regretted it. $81 and wasn't even worth half of that. Do not trust the prices posted on Google, its much more than that. As for the food, the sausage was disgusting. It was like greasy hamburger meat texture. The turkey was delicious. Tender and cooked perfect. The brisket and the pulled pork was fine and tender. It just wasnt seasoned at all and if your going to have a BBQ restaurant then your food has to have more of a smoke flavor than Bill Miller's. The sides were ok. So the lady at the front was just as rude as the person 3 years prior. No reason for anyone to go and eat here when there's so many great restaurants out there and owners treating their customers like they're important to them. read more

I live near Dee Willie's BBQ. Been there a few times in the past. However my recent visit was different. They've up's their game! BIG TIME! Adding BEEF RIBS to the menu. I'm from Arizona, grew up with mesquite grilled beef. I'm a tad bit judgy. Their beef ribs are damn good! Be ready to drop $50 + tip for 1 person. You get two sides, a drink and dessert for that price. I was stuffed. Had to take home my banana bread pudding... wow! Some of the best bread pudding I've ever had. Well done Dee Willie's BBQ. read more

Dee Willie’s BBQ - Red Ribs. Sweet potato casserole. Potato salad and all other fixings. - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The beef ribs is where it's at. The chicken should be marinated longer before cooking. It was flavorless. The sides were all amazing. We had the banana pudding, it was delicious. Can't wait to be back. read more

Wish I had a chance to actually taste and review their food but they seemed to be out of everything when we came. From ribs to chicken they were out of. When we finally ordered we sat at the table for 20 minutes and finally just left. All I wanted was some Texas ribs and brisket SMH. Server was nice but I don't know what the cooks were doing back there for OVER 20 minutes! read more

The food is better than MANY of the top rated BBQ places between San Antonio and Austin. Yes, even in Lockhart! I don't know why there are not lines out the door! However, I am thankful for that. read more

OVERVIEW: Decent BBQ spot in SA, since there are not many. Popular for their baked potato salad. Meats are decent and sides are okay. Service is very casual. Plate and sandwich options, as well as family meals. 3-3.5/5 stars. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, they have a full lot shared with other businesses. - Reservations? No, just walk in, seat yourself, and a server will tend to you. - Takeout? Yes, you can order ahead or arrive and order there. FOOD & DRINK RATINGS: - Sweet tea (2/5): I love sweet tea but this was sooo disgustingly sweet. Whoever made the batch today dumped an insane amount of sugar in there. Could hardly taste the tea. Had to ask for some water (which they charge $0.25 for) as well. - Spare ribs (4/5): Good size and very tender. Very peppery flavor (no sweetness or BBQ sauce basted on them). - Turkey (4/5): Very tender. Skin is same peppery seasoning. BBQ sauce is also spicy/peppery or mustard-y. So no sweetness anywhere to balance out meat seasoning. - Creamed corn (3/5): Kind of reminds me of corn in gravy vs. cream. And again...peppery. - Mac and cheese (3/5): Just okay. Creamy but not a lot of flavor. - Peach cobbler (3/5, not pictured): Good ratio of crust to peach filling, but was served room temp. Ice cream did not really melt into it. Also very sweet! read more

Dee Willie’s BBQ - 2 meat plate with spare ribs and turkey, mac and cheese, creamed corn - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The ribs were tender and Smokey. The Brisket moist and delicous. The sweet potato casserole was really good.

BarBQ Brisket was Excellent , Sausage was Great, Sides were so ,so ! Mac & Cheese was Clumpy seemed to be left on the Steam Table too long, Creamed Corn lacked Flavor, and was dry. Potato Salad lacked flavor skins left on made it even bland. Good Service. Ambiance was nice too !! read more

Pulled pork sandwich was extremely greasy and fat. Got it to go, was wrapped in foil in a paper bag. By the time I got home the grease had leaked out of the foil and through the bag and onto my car seat. Almost half the meat was inedible fat chunks. This for $11.00. I've been eating pulled pork sandwiches my whole life and this was by far the worst ever. read more

They changed their potato salad recipe/used to be the best...so good I would order both sides of it...now it is the WORSTI have ever tasted.‼ Ribs are consistently very good.... read more

The barbecue is amazing. Brisket is not dry. Just right. Great types of barbecue sauce. You can choose from the sides are great different but awesome. read more

Wish I could go here more often but it's far for me. The cream corn is tastes great and the brisket is smoky.

Don't eat here they treat their staff like garbage i know someone who worked here for a long time one of they're most loyal workers and they fired them over text msg after he worked all day and have heard nothing but bad things from other workers there they don't pay them on time there are plenty of better bbq options in san Antonio don't reward them for abusing people read more

At 7:15pm went into Dee Willies on O'Connor. The lady in the front called out to someone else. I couldn't figure out what I did wrong. The other lady said what do you want. I said to eat. She said they were getting ready to close. The sign said to 8pm. That's what I said. She said they were closing early because slow. I could get something to go. I said that's OK. She then said we are out of ribs. I never said ribs. She then said what did I want. I said doesn't matter and left. If you want to close whenever then change your sign to close time whenever we feel like it. read more

This is one of the best hidden little places when it comes to good slow smoked bbq . Their food is always on point. Besides the brisket their chopped bbq sandwich is amazing . If you're into barbecue, this is definitely a place that you need to try . read more

SHEEESH! this is our new spot! Definitely another hidden gem. The bbq sauce smacks! Very vlean and great service.

Upon walking it (between 3-4pm) we were greeted immediately by Assistant Mgn David. It was my first time here, and he patiently went over the menu and its vast choices. The ambiance is definitely a Texas BBQ place, as we waited for our food (order to-go) we were greeted by multiple staff with smiles. From a Californian point of view, they showed us the southern hospitality. We order the 2 meat plate with sides: ribs, brisket Pull pork, turkey *The greens beans were delicious Don't know when I'll ever be in San Antonio again, but if I ever do. Definitely be visiting them again. read more

I can't believe this place sells such horrible BBQ. Today i ordered the 3 meat plate with ribs, moist brisket, and sausage. Sides that were ordered was green beans, and cream corn. Dessert...peach cobbler. Wow!! Where should I begin. Ambiance. None. 2 tables with 2 customers each. The place definitely needs to be clean...male bathroom under renovations and desperately in need of cleaning. The place definitely didn't smell like a BBQ place. FOOD. Dry, old, and severely over cooked. Brisket which I expected to be moist and tender was again severely overcooked and coming from someone that know BBQ was reserved after being smoked sometime earlier this week. Def not prepared fresh. RIBS severely overcooked as well probably a day fresher than the brisket but still deserving of the nearest trash can. SAUSAGE worst of all...hard, very dry and lacking distinctive sausage flavor and juices. CREAM CORN like everything else taste was way off to the point of not being very enjoyable. PEACH COBBLER lacking sweetness and flavor...cobbler crust like no other that I have tasted in my 57 years on this planet...horrible!! GREEN BEANS were the only thing that I could stomach but unfortunately the portions sizes were very small. I had been told that this place was one of the best places for BBQ here in San Antonio. I give them half a star out of 5 stars and thats because handing me my food allowed me to give SERVICE half a star!!! read more

From the moment we stepped foot in the door we were greeted. The servers always checked in, they talked to us and it was just a great day to enjoy lunch at Dee Willies.. The food was delicious My only recommendation is fresher onions. read more

The brisket and turkey sandwiches were great but we ordered mac and cheese and received creamed corn. We are not fans of creamed corn, and we're looking forward to the mac and cheese. It was a to go order so we didn't notice until we got home. read more

Ordered out from Dee Willie's. Best BBQ in town along with the most delicious sides. Very generous servings. There was more food than we could eat. What a great restaurant! read more

Dee Willie's is a solid BBQ restaurant on the NE side of San Antonio. The food is very good! Delicious smoked flavor and tender brisket. The ribs were my favorite. Very flavorful, juicy and tender short ribs are the way to go. The turkey and chicken were both good as well. They have some good sides but I loved the sweet potato casserole. You can get green beans, cream corn, potato salad and more for sides. The environment was Texas BBQ style and casual. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Dee Willie's is definitely worth your time and money. You can expect to pay 15 to 25 per for a plate. Great job Dee Willie's!!!! read more

Ribs = inedible. Had to throw them away. Brisket = good. But fatty. Mac n cheese was the best part. Potato salad = mediocre. Green beans = pretty good Sweet potatoes = very sweet but as expected. The ribs were a huge disappointment. Won't be ordering from here again. read more

LOVE this bbq. The brisket, the ribs, and most of the sides are on point. Pro tip: Jalapeño/cheddar sausage isn't on the menu but they serve it until they run out. Try the sweet potato side and the mac n cheese. while the mac is a little peppery it's delicious. read more

$18 small brisket sandwich and green beans.... tasty but sad for the price. my whole meal dropped through the bag in the parking lot when I got back to work. Maybe they can give a s..t about the consumer and not put the bag into juice when they bag the food because nothing was leaking from the food. When i tipped them I asked who the tip went to and the girl said to the person bagging your food. Jeez !?!? Idiots read more

First impression is they're very organized. The lounge wasn't busy but they did have a few take out and delivery orders. Was told the order would be ready for take out in 5-10. Ours came in 24 minutes. On top of that, it was wrong so I had to go back to get the correct item. There was ample parking in a strip mall. There's a large stage in the front so I'm assuming they have live music. Decent prices and portions. They do offer a law enforcement and military doscoujt. The good; beans were so salty we couldn't eat them. A shame because they were seasoned nicely except for the salt. It tasted like they dropped the salt in there to be honest. It was that salty. Potato salad was delicious. Cole slaw was decent. Sausage was delicious. Brisket was also delicious but too salty. Delicious sauce. I give the food 3.5 of 5. Service was a 2 at best. Friendly but it was a zoo when it didn't have to be. A guy named Gary was waiting for his order and they're calling Eric. The name was put in wrong so he had to wait unnecessarily. My order was wrong. I would go back to try it again. The food has potential and I prefer dining in anyways. Overall score is a 3 today. read more

Oh my gooosh!! This place was DELICIOUS!! The brisket and ribs were so tender, juicy and great smoke flavor!! The turkey was equally as good as was the sausage. The sauce has a little spice to it.
