It was thinly sliced and he said it was a little dry, but that can happen with lean meat. Sauce was good. Good service, full bar and lots of booths make this a worthwhile stop when craving BBQ in Witchita. Located in interesting old town area.

The pizza was FANTASTIC, definitely something I will do again!!! ** I ordered the two meat dinner as seen in the picture below and it was good, no complaints. The sausage was tasty and had a mild heat, turkey breast was very tender and juicy. I really enjoyed the beans, could probably eat an entire pan of them. The potato salad was your typical potato salad, not sure it was made in house but I could be wrong. The spicy pickles were very good as well. I went in just to pick up a BBQ pizza for supper and decided to get a two meat dinner since I had never been before. The prices are average, my meal was 16.50 and I had a water to drink. They offer tea and soda as well. The employees were very friendly, restaurant was nice and clean. It reminded me of a typical bbq joint, smelled of smoke and meat, and had a few BBQ trophy's scattered throughout the entryway. Their BBQ sauce is also for sale if you want to purchase for home. Overall, I'd rate it a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10.

I think I'll probably try their jalapeno honey next time I'm in more. It was good. The staff were very quick to great and the food was out quick. They made sure you didn't need anything. The dinning area I enjoyed it's an old building (sub degree weather you might bring a jacket lol). They had murals of different things in Wichita along with the history of the address from 1972-1980. I'll be back

Sweet Willy's BBQ

Another year, another restaurant pops up to occupy the doomed little building near 47th and Seneca…read more Everything about Sweet Willy's is heavy-handed, from the menu's cartoon cowboy claiming this to be the best barbecue he's had, to the amount of hickory used in the meat that ensures you're going to smell like the woods before you make it back to the car. Going so over the top doesn't help my old barbecue standbys: the pork was on the way to becoming jerky, the brisket was dry and the fat unrendered, and even the sausage had a casing that was too thick for my liking. The ribs, on the other hand, stood up to the smoke well, producing a caramelized crust that gave way to tender meat that came off the bone cleanly. I'm not normally a ribs guy, but it was one of the saving graces of the meal. What Sweet Willy's lacks in panache it makes up for in gusto. The menu is peppered with all sorts of non-traditional applications of barbecue, from poutine to chicken lollipops to tacos, though the most surprisingly enjoyable thing may be the burnt ends, which are tossed in a honey and garlic sauce that is not only more subtle than the KC-style sauces served with everything else, but surprisingly works well with the sugars in the meat in a way that doesn't overwhelm. There's clearly a lot of effort put into Sweet Willy's, but not a lot of confidence, no matter how many "yums" are on the menu. There's some good to be found in places you wouldn't expect, but the brisket and pork are serve as the foundation upon which the rest of the menu is built, so improving them should be the first priority.

Amazing BBQ hole in the wall place! We tried the family pack with 3 meats, 3 sides, rolls and…read moresauce. The garlic slaw isn't too sweet, the sweet potato salad is a surprisingly delicious change from traditional, and the baked beans are the perfect mix of sweet smoky and a kick.

Found this place while driving from out of town and we will ABSOLUTELY be back! The young men working were so polite and patient in explaining what certain menu items were and as someone who has never had Mediterranean food, that was super helpful! They suggested some items and it was DELICIOUS!!! Amazing food and the customer service is something that's so rare these days. 10/10 recommend! read more
