As someone who lived in Texas for nearly 20 years before relocating to Tennessee, I have a deep…read moreappreciation, and admittedly high standards, when it comes to barbecue. My daughter and I recently dined at Willie Mae's Barbecue, and I can confidently say this was an exceptionally positive experience. From the first bite, the barbecue delivered a bold, authentic flavor profile that immediately resonated. The meats were tender, expertly prepared, and layered with richness that created a true flavor explosion. Every element reflected intention and skill. The selection of barbecue sauces further elevated the meal. Each sauce offered a distinctive, well-balanced profile that complemented the meat beautifully without overpowering it. The variety and quality were impressive. The live music added an energetic and welcoming atmosphere, enhancing the overall dining experience without distracting from the meal. It created a setting that felt both relaxed and vibrant. Finding barbecue of this caliber in Tennessee, especially in a smaller town like Springfield, was a refreshing and welcome surprise. Sharing the experience with my daughter made it even more meaningful. When she returns from Texas, we will absolutely be back.

I found Head's using the iExit app today and since it was rated high on Yelp, decided to give it a…read moretry. Good decision! First, if you realize as I do that some of the best BBQ is found in out-of-the-way, hole in-the-wall places, then you'll understand why I felt sure I should visit when I saw the pics of the place. Good news here - "out of the way" is less than a mile off the interstate on a little side street that starts with a few houses and quickly becomes small farms - down home people but very convenient for travelers like me. Then, when I walked in and asked about some of the sides and the lady at the counter said, "Well, I make the white beans myself and cut the potatoes for the hash brown casserole by hand", I knew what to order with the ribs and pork. My to-go order was brought to the counter about two minutes after I finished paying (literally!)...quicker than most fast food restaurants...by a gentleman that I assumed is the lady's husband. Obviously, those two are the owners. Hands-on, A+ service always makes me want to go back...if the food is good. And things just kept getting better from there! The half rack of ribs were cooked nicely and were very tasty. I ordered to go but was still a bit surprised the ribs weren't cut, so I'll know to ask for that next time unless I'm planning to take them home with me. The pork was chopped pretty fine, more than I prefer, but had a really nice smoky flavor and was just a little dry but not much (the only reason for my 4 rating rather than a 5). And like all good BBQ places (in my opinion!), they put the tasty, spicy vinegar-based sauce in a small container where you can take it or leave it, depending on your preference. Trust me - if you like good BBQ and homemade sides served by people who really appreciate your business, give Head's a try. You won't be disappointed! The sides were terrific! The white beans were well cooked and had a nice flavor. And the hash brown casserole - wow! Exceptional cheesy texture, fresh and obviously the lady wasn't kidding that they are homemade - that was apparent! I'd go back just for it! They also include a fresh homemade cornbread "hoecake" (fried light brown) with every plate - good texture and fitting complement with the meat and entire meal. If you can't tell by now - I'll be back the next time I'm traveling on I-24 through the Clarksville area!!

Pitiful BBQ. I think reviewer, Dr. P. was simply being kind…read more We've been passing the Head's BBQ sign for a couple of months and decided to check it out. The place was easy to find and had plenty of parking. Inside it was very cute and looked well cared for. We were so happy it smelled clean-but thankfully didn't smell of disinfectant. The kitchen was clean; floors and kitchen countertops all clean. Now we're really getting our hopes up! So we look at he menu. Standardly priced BBQ, not a lot of choices - but there's BBQ pork, chicken and ribs, so that sounds promising. The woman at the counter took our order- but was surprisingly unfriendly. "Whatever", we thought, maybe she's had a bad morning. A couple of minutes later, the ribs are packed in foil and the half chicken (a tiny, little-bitty chicken, mind you) in a little half box, and off we go home to try out the food. Oh, what a disappointment! The rib meat was so dried out and tough, we had to throw half of it away as it could not be chewed! The chicken was worse. Had that awful flavor of being a few days old. Completely inedible. We called over and spoke with the woman whom we presume was Mrs. Head to express our disappointment. She offered no kind words, no apologies nor any attempt to build customer relations with a new potential customer. Instead, said only that we could drive it all back and get a refund. Then I asked her, "Are you happy with the quality of the food you served us?" Without a pause, she said "Yes. People like it". Which leaves me with this: 1.) either these "people" she refers to are not accustomed to the flavor and texture that fresh, well-cooked food tastes like, or, 2.) this woman knew the food was old and decided to sell her soul to the devil for a buck. I won't be back, but if you go- I hope you have better luck!

Great BBQ, friendly service, and a full bar--always a win…read more The space is a spacious, modern building with cool décor that still feels very family-friendly. You order at the front and the food is brought to your table, which keeps things easy and relaxed. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, and the food came out impressively fast. The jalapeño popper dip is anything but standard. With cowboy candy (candied jalapeños) and a Thai chili drizzle, it hits sweet, spicy, and savory all at once. The pita chips paired perfectly and disappeared fast. The brisket was a standout--richly flavored with a thick, well-developed bark that clearly shows the care behind it. I'm notoriously picky about BBQ sauce, but theirs strikes a great balance between smoky, lightly sweet, and just tangy enough without overpowering the meat. You can absolutely tell this is a competition BBQ team. Even the cocktails are thoughtfully done. My Merry Mule was $10 and well worth it--boozy, refreshing, and nicely balanced between berry and ginger beer. A great spot for quality BBQ, cocktails, and an easygoing, family-friendly experience.

We ordered wings, tacos, and a loaded nacho-style platter. The wings came out crispy with a nice dry rub plenty of flavor without being overly greasy. The magic dust was a lot had to shake some off. My friend had the tacos were fresh, topped with crisp slaw and a good hit of cheese, and the sauce on the side added a nice kick. The nacho plate was piled high with tender pulled brisket melty cheese, and plenty of toppings to share. The only complaint I have is that the potatoes was bland when it was boiled. You can tell that the bbq and brisket was the only thing that flavors it. It was disappointing. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. The sides were solid as well. The jalapeno cream corn had a creamy, slightly creamy and sweet that paired well with everything. The potato salad was a classic creamy version, which helped balance out the spice from the wings. Service was so slow the server was running both bartenders and server. Even though it was busy, food came out hot and. On Fridays they have live music, which adds a fun vibe, though just know it can get a little loud if you're trying to have a long conversation. Avoid Friday if you just want to grab something to eat. Overall, a great casual spot to hang out with friends, enjoy good food, and take in some live tunes. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

Coleslaw was great to me when it tasted more like mayonnaise coleslaw instead of vinegar coleslaw.
