    First look at the plate once I opened it. Half BBQ Chicken and my side of baked beans
    Christian M.

    So my BBQ tour of Dalton, GA continues with this place I was recommended to go to. Walking into the joint you smelled the BBQ which I didn't smell at the other places, also my elevator to my hotel room smelled great with BBQ. I tried the ribs first because that is what I ordered at the other 2 places these ribs were tied for first with one of the places yesterday. Great ribs, nice pull on first bite, good rub and smoke flavor. The chicken was the best in town I have had so far, surprisingly crispy skin. The thigh was really good and great smoke flavor. The only downside was the breast was a little dry. Other than that it was really good. The baked beans were not my favorite out of the 3 places I have been to so far they finished 3rd. The Brunswick stew was awesome, I have nothing to compare it to because I have never had that before. The sauce on the side was excellent as well. I can see why this place has been open since the 80's. Great job I recommend it.

    If you like luke warm garbage on your plate you might enjoy this place. It's pretty bad! The pork is cut into sandwich thickness slices. The slices are then literally smothered with BBQ sauce. You can barely taste the pork, which in this case is a good thing. I had to dig for a piece not smothered in sauce. I found it, tried it, and promptly quit eating it. The Brunswick stew is inedible. I took one taste and couldn't go back for more. The pork and beans were ok. They were the only thing on the plate I could finish. The service was very slow even though the place was almost empty. The server/register attendant was pleasant enough, but she was MIA a large portion of my visit. Good luck to anyone that eats here.

    Second time here. The service is friendly and the food is fantastic . It is also very reasonably priced and great ambiance. Will definitely be back.

    This BBQ restaurant came highly recommended, but our lunch was rather lackluster. The restaurant was spacious, accentuated by ceiling fans, hardwood floor, natural sunlight, TV, wall-to-wall posters and car license plates of many states. During our visit, the atmosphere was quiet and sporadic, with a few diners coming and going here and there. The BBQ Chicken Plate ($9.25) came with half chicken with skin and bones on, bbq baked beans, toasts, and green beans. I was pleased to see the chicken tail, and the crispy skin tasted sensational. More bbq places should keep the skin and tail on, or at least make the option available for those who prefer it. On the down side, there was very little meat and smoke on the chicken. With so little meat, it generated questions regarding the price and actual value of the meal. The sides were largely fillers and unimpressive. The same could be said about their bbq sauce, very standard and little wow factor. The Beef Brisket Plate ($9.75) came with briskets, baked beans, toasts, and green beans. The briskets had a nice red ring to them, but the meat was dry and difficult to chew. Not recommended. Lastly, we had a slice of Sweet Potato Pie ($2.25) for dessert. The pie was way too sweet, overpowering the natural sweet potato flavor. Not recommended. Service was friendly, personable, and the food arrived quickly. After assessing for quality, I thought the place was expensive for the value and the area. Interested diners should note that they offer other sides such as brunswick stew, onion petals, mac & cheese, cole slaw, potato salad, corn on the cob, among others. I hope to try the other BBQ restaurants in the area before visiting their sister location to sample their ribs.

    Barbecue sandwich with slaw

    This is the worst beef bbq my husband and I have ever had. We have eaten at many bbq restaurants from Savannah, Macon and the North Ga area. If you want to pay $20 for basically a bun and a tbsp of slaw by all means waste your money. You couldn't even tell there was meat between the bun. What meat was there was so fatty I couldn't even eat it. My husband always says yum, fat is flavor. But he was even having to pick hunks of slimy fat from his mouth. He is a meat eater and he didn't even want to eat my sandwich. There's more meat in a can of beanie weenies than was on this sandwich. Oh well NEVER AGAIN!!

    Really the best BBQ in Dalton. We like to get it with sauce on the side. Just excellent smoking of the meat.

    PARKING - Very small parking lot up front and more spots in the back…read more ATMOSPHERE - The only seating is outside and a walk up to the window type environment. The inside workers have a lot of moving parts and are never slacking. STAFF - The staff are always very friendly and the service is amazing. By the time you pay and get your drink the food is almost always ready. I have never waited more than 5 min for my food. FOOD - The food takes your tastebuds on a new level. We have had the burgers, subs and hot dogs. We love the unique menu and so many options to choose from. They do not skimp on anything they give you. I have been here numerous times in the last 7 years and never had a bad meal. I am so glad I found this place. PRICE - The price is very fair for the amount of food you get. THE GOOD Everything about Willie's is good. The quality, the portion size, the taste the huge menu and service keep this our top place to eat in Georgia. We find ourselves comparing every sub, hot dog and burger to the ones here and nothing compares. THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE I would love to see them expand into a closer spot maybe Rome or Calhoun. It's just me being selfish really. It is absolutely worth the hour drive for us and we do it at least 2 times a month.

    If you're into big huge, messy, oversized sandwiches and burgers with stupid amounts of toppings…read morepiled on top drowned in sauces and condiments that you need two hands to pick up and eat then you will love this place. Personally I don't and I had the feeling that's what I'd be getting from the pictures so I ordered small (I thought) and got the little chicken sandwich which was a long thin piece of fried chicken that was twice as long as the bun and a really thick batter that overpowered the chicken and the taste of it with some sauce poured all over it. There were FOUR huge tomato slices thrown on top and about an inch of lettuce under the chicken "breast" so it was like eating a salad with chicken on a bun. What a mess and I gave up after trying to eat half of it and taking all the tomato and lettuce off which still didn't do it much good. Then I ordered a small burger, which ended up being a quarter pound double Smashburger another two handed size sandwich with the same amount of tomatoes and grilled onions and lettuce. I mean some people like this style of food but like I said for me, it's a mess and it's just way too much overkill with everything.. The food wasn't horrible. Just they tried too hard to throw it all together. Fries were my favorite.
