My husband treated me to the best Valentine's Day meal i could have asked for at Whuttle's BBQ in…read morethe Lancaster Drive Walmart Supercenter in Salem. I'm Southern and I've eaten a lot...a LOT... of BBQ, from home cooked at my family meals and events, at roadside stands, food trucks, mom-and-pop joints, and nice sit-down restaurants. As part of my work as a corporate trainer, driving all over the South and Midwest was my daily commute, but BBQ was my daily off-work mission. I've eaten a LOT of BBQ! Whuttle's BBQ is not Southern quality, it is HIGH Southern quality. I wasn't very hungry when we went out tonight so I just ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich. My husband ordered the same plus the mac-n-cheese and we both had Whuttle's own fruit punch. I took a bite of the husband's mac-n-cheese to sample it...before he threatened me with the loss of a hand if I ate any more...and it was, to make it simple, the best mac-n-cheese I've ever had, and I've eaten a good bit of that around the country, also. The chicken was moist and tender with a perfect smoky aroma and flavor. Their BBQ sauce was just right and the sandwich had just the right amount - a flavor boost for the perfect chicken but not overpowering nor was the sandwich swimming in it. Just right. The bun was fresh and soft and was ideal. That fruit punch was so good I could have drank a gallon. It made the sandwich a perfect match. I realize I keep using the word 'perfect' in this review. That's not an accident. On top of the wonderful food and drink and speedy service was the Down Home friendliness of the folks there. We learned that the inspiration comes from their Arkansas roots and among great Southern BBQ, the BBQ I've had in Arkansas stood out from the rest, and honestly Whuttle's would make even great Arkansas BBQ seem average by comparison. It really is that good. We live just a mile or so away so we'll be regulars now. If you like BBQ and you really like great BBQ, you're missing out until you eat here.

The building has a distinct, unpretentious feel. Inside, you'll find a dark, cozy dining area lined with long wooden picnic tables, string lights. The staff is very friendly and while we ate the owner stopped by several times to make sure we were happy. We ordered a double Wimpy burger and a smoked chicken sandwich with a side of spicy mac salad. The owner took our order, and knowing my husband's love for a good burger, he custom-made us a deluxe double smash and a double Gouda smash with bacon to try! All of the burgers were incredibly impressive. They grind the meat in-house, which you can absolutely taste in how juicy the smash burgers are. If I had to pick my personal favorite out of the three, the Gouda takes first place, followed by the double Wimpy, and then the deluxe double. Every single burger was unique and delicious. I didn't ask to confirm, but I'm pretty sure the deluxe featured a perfect slice of heirloom tomato. The smoked chicken sandwich was also fantastic--the chicken was tossed with BBQ sauce, making it incredibly juicy, and it came topped with two crispy onion rings on a soft hoagie bun. Needless to say, we had to take half of our chicken sandwich and mac salad home. We seriously can't wait to go back and try their brisket. What a gem for West Salem!

He told us the only drink selections where Dr. pepper, Mt. Dew, and water. We got waters and then he directed us to the nursery, who's parking lot they reside in, to use the bathroom. After coming back from the bathroom We sat at the one bench they had. And waited 30 minutes for The food we ordered to come out. We got a burger, a loaded fry, and a CBR wrap. Except they didn't have any tortillas so my wrap became a salad. Which was unfortunate but I can understand. Overall the taste was good. Nothing crazy but good. Between my coworker and I, we talked and decided 3/5 was a fair rating based on our experience (see CBR salad)

I tried this place at The Yard Food Park in Salem, Oregon. I was blown away by the flavor profile…read morein the sandwich I tried. It was the spicy chicken (don't quote me on the name). It showed 2 chili peppers beside it to show the strength of hotness. To me it was maybe 1 chili pepper. The size of the sandwich was amazing. I was truly expecting a smaller sandwich in comparison to most others but I was wrong. I gave this place 5 stars. The customer service was superb and the wait was well worth it for the flavor that came from the meal. The atmosphere and ambiance at the yard was a laid back and welcoming. I strongly advise trying out this place if your in the mood for some good wings or chicken sandwiches. Fries or tots as a choice for sides and what I would call smothered fries. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

The service was relatively quick and the person working the cart was pleasant.

They have a seafood fest on Friday, at least they did when we were there and it is so good and a great price. BBQ oysters are great as is the crab. There really is nothing not to like here.

It was the perfect spot for a casual evening out. We had a couple of drinks, a cider and a Japanese lager, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The musician playing that night was fantastic! He had a great song selection, and his voice was hauntingly beautiful. I'm not a huge barbecue person because I prefer my meals to have a little more variety than just meat, but I did enjoy the brisket and the pork belly. The sides were just okay for me. I'm from the South, where we take our potato salad seriously, so I wasn't the biggest fan of theirs but I did really enjoy the beans and the corn salad. I'll definitely be back for the music, a drink, and the laid-back atmosphere. It's a great place for a casual evening out!
