Had a craving for some BBQ and had to check out Wiley's on Whitemarsh Island. It is located in an obscure strip mall shared with a Chevron gas Station and across the street from Publix and Walmart. Don't let this scare you away... the good places are always like this!!! We walked in and were immediately greeted and sat at a high-top table. The restaurant was clean and busy. Our server was a younger guy who was in training but you would have easily assumed he was a pro. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and confident when fielding the questions we had about the menu. We ordered a Half Slab portion of their St Louis Cut Ribs platter with fries and mac-and-cheese as a side & the 1/2 Chicken platter with Brunswick Stew and mac-and-cheese as a side. Both proteins were tender and well seasoned. Both were served with a piece of buttered Texas toast. Their original and Better than Sex sauces were great additions to the flavors! The mac-and-cheese was creamy and delicious. Not my favorite Brunswick Stew but it satisfied the craving that I had. read more

A busy Monday dinner time at Wiley's made me think we had chosen well. A cold beer to start things in the proper direction. My wife and I each ordered the 4 bone, St. Louis cut spare ribs and 2 sides. She went with Collards and Sweet Potato casserole and I also did. Collards but added potato salad as my second side. The ribs arrived looking a bit man handled but that what due to the tenderness of the meat. Using the "Better Than Sex - Original" sauce was a great compliment to the smoked meat. The meat alone was delicious without being over smoked. Paired with the sauce it was truly delicious. The collards were tasty though I do like mine cooked with some pork added. We were offered some hot sauce and should have tried a splash or two. The casserole and the potato salad were both quite tasty and were nice balanced against the collards. Service was great and I wish we lived less than a thousand miles away. Definitely give this place a try b read more

Good- staff was polite, sweet tea was good and so were the hush puppies. What I didn't like was the food was cold. It sucks when you travel far away to get award winning bbq and it's cold and lacks flavor or any smoke. The better that sex sauce was good. If you don't know what good bbq tastes like, you'll love it here!! read more

Fantastic BBQ! The sauces were great, most of the meats were delicious and I had the Mac n cheese and Cole slaws for a side, very good. Not a boxed Mac n cheese, but a white Mac n cheese not yellow. My husband and I shared the Wiley platter which had all the meats available with Texas toast served with it, the Brunswick soup was also delicious and came with two more slices of Texas toast. The only negative I would say was the rib was a bit tough for me, but my husband seemed to like it, so maybe it was just my bite. Overall, I liked the 3 different sauce options and appreciated the variety of meats and sides! Would come again if I'm back in Savannah!! read more

Food was delicious, service was good. Kat took care of us. Love the decor funny and cute. Love the hush puppies! The only disappointment that the delicious barbecue sauce didn't match the bottle you can buy from their merchandise. Overall great experience read more

Loved the ribs. Great flavor and fall off the bone. The sides were delicious as well. The server was very nice and accommodating. Would def recommend read more

Superb! Came here from the Yelp reviews 2 years ago, back in town, i was happy to return. Everything you would expect from a southern BBQ restaurant. The location, the staff, the building, the decor, and the awkwardly small parking lot. Got a simply brisket plate with collards and sweet potato casserole. No less than 6 servers asked if i wanted hot sauce of some sort (their personal choice) to add to my greens. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

This was surprisingly very good barbecue. And we even had good service, as well. The restaurant had been recommended to us by our hotel on Tybee Island as worth a drive. So when we arranged to meet up with a (former Yelp) friend driving from South Carolina, I suggested this location as it didn't require her driving all the way to the beach -- and hoped for the best. We each got something different. My husband got a pulled pork sandwich and baked beans; she got roast chicken and potato salad; and I got St. Louis ribs and sweet potato casserole. It was all very good. They enjoyed the sauces on the table -- especially the sweet one and the smoky one. My ribs were so good, I didn't use any sauce. For dessert, there was the banana pudding, ice cream, and peach cobbler. I had the cobbler and it was just okay. My husband had the banana pudding and said it was wonderful. And our friend got to try this locally famous brand of ice cream. After eating so much seafood recently, not only was the barbecue a nice change of pace, but a very good dining experience. And yes, it was "worth the drive". read more

This was a great place to meet a friend from our Yelp Broward Palm Beach Community. She drove from Margaritaville and we drove from Tybee island. I had the Pulled Pork sandwich with baked beans. Both were very good and with their smoked BBQ sauce, was delicious! For dessert I had some world class Banana pudding! Thank you for a great lunch! read more

While staying on Tybee, my wife said she wanted some BBQ for lunch, so Wiley's was close and seemed to have a good selection. The restaurant was just opening for the day so it was not busy at yet. The interior is decorated with BBQ contest trophies/ plaques, memorabilia and photos. It was well lit and very clean. Service as very good and helpful. I had the sampler with pulled pork, ribs and sausage all of which were excellent. My wife had the brisket which she really liked. The sides were very good as well especially the red beans and rice. The sauces were all very good as I tried all three on my pulled pork. read more

Bbq was delicious and super filling. Came with a group and got sat quickly. Place had a few tables taken already but not packed. We ordered different things, brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and different sides and not one complaint. Brisket was super tender and you can add your own bbq sauce. There are 3/4 flavors and they leave the bottles in the table for you to choose. I got the sweet potato casserole and it was sweet, maybe brown sugary, but tasty. The broccoli cheese rice was delicious and tasted as such. All of us had a hard time finishing their food. Friendly staff and decent parking. Price was about $22 per person with a meal and drink. No cornbread unfortunately. read more

Just left Wiley's after a delicious dinner. We could tell that it would be good by it looking like it was pretty much all locals there and several to go orders. The only thing missing was a semi parked outside. We started with the fried pickles which were really good. Had the sampler platter with Mac and cheese and green beans for my sides. All of the various meats were cooked perfectly. The bbq sauces were all good. Super excellent and friendly service. If I lived here I would eat at Wiley's often. If we're back this way again we'll be back. read more

Placing an order online was quick and easy!! I went to go pick it up, and every patron (about 2-3 tables) in there just stared at us when we walked in. It's no fault of the restaurant, just quite uncomfortable. We focused on just picking up our order. Sarah at the front was friendly. We had a little discrepancy over the sauce count. We had such a large order for a party of 12, with about 6lbs of meats, and quite a few sides. The number of sauces she originally gave us was quite short, compared to the amount of food we ordered. After my cousin pointed out the picture posted behind the counter with the sauce count per pound of meat, Sarah agreed and made it right for us. Overall the food was great. Everyone in my family was happy! My favorite was the brisket, others enjoyed the burnt ends. And my two favorite sides were the fried okra and the Brunswick stew. It was my first time hearing of and trying brunswick stew and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is located on a busy highway in a strip mall plaza. Plenty of parking and clean on the inside. Definitely would come back the next time I visit Savannah. read more

Wow. Amazing BBQ. The best I've had in years. Maybe my whole life. Excellent service- Dawn, you're the best.

Not a good experience for lunch recently. The pulled pork and best beans not the same. Hope the new owners have not lost Wiley's recipe. Pulled pork was chopped and the beans not best read more

Run, don't walk. Everything we had here was absolutely divine. They claim to have the world's best baked beans let me tell ya, they were not lying. The Mac and cheese was flavorful and the sweet potato casserole was mouth watering. The pulled pork was juicy and the rib meat fell right off the bone. They have 3 different sauces you can add at the table; a sweeter bbq sauce, a spicier bbq sauce, and a smokey sauce. The Smokey sauce was by far our favorite. Our service was great too and the food came out super quick. Top notch all around. read more

Wiley's is my go to BBQ spot in Savannah. When my daughter comes down from Atlanta, she always insist we go there and grab the Redneck Nachos. Definitely a must have. read more

We got the brisket and it did not disappoint, though my husband felt it could have a little more smoke flavor. The meat was moist and tender. The baked beans are vegetarian which was a delight since we usually can't enjoy them at a Bbq Restaurant because pork has been added. They were really tasty. We also had the broccoli rice casserole and the sweet potato casserole. Everything was wonderful. We would definitely go back again read more

Very friendly and helpful servers, open clean dining area, but the kitchen needs to step it up a couple notches if they want to stay in business. The beef and pork were dry. It seems everything was cooked a day or more before and reheated. read more

This food was incredible! This was my first time in the south and my first time having the pleasure of eating some real bbq and this place did not disappoint! The chicken, the ribs, the shrimp, the wings, the Mac, the stew! Everything was literally finger licking good. Oh and I cannot forget the peach cobbler! I'm saving this place for next time! read more

Delicious BBQ! That should be enough to get someone through the doors. This place is highly recommended. I've had it 4 times in the past two months and it's one of the best bbq spots I've ever been to. The restaurant is spacious and clean. On all visits I've pretty much been one of the first people in the restaurant. The service is good. No complaints. The food is the star of the show, obviously!! The red Neck nachos are a must! I've never had anything like it but I love it! We opted to share a sampler plate to try a little bit of everything. We paid $30 for a big plate of meat. All delicious, with the brisket being my favorite. The sides are also very good. I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese along with the broccoli rice casserole. And for once I made room for dessert and had a mouth watering peach cobbler.... Ugh sooooo good. FINAL VERDICT: this place is highly recommended for a reason. Now if you have doubts, please read this over and over until you're convinced! It's SO GOOD! read more

Been 2 time in my 13 yrs here , suck papa bbq has them in shame ,never going back bbq is good , buinstew was crap more likely chicken stew. Not good read more

I've had Wiley's bookmarked for at least two months and thanks to my coworkers I got to taste their wings before I made my way over there. The staff was amazing, everyone from the servers to the interactive kitchen crew and the ambience definitely matched their energy. I ordered the 20 wings for $20 two orders of them and actually ended up with 50 instead of 40 but I figure they just gave me 10 on the house. I also ordered a rib and what they consider the best baked beans that I only took one bite of. I didn't like the stewed tomato and bean flavor at all, there was no sweetness and these reminded me nothing of baked beans. The rib was good and tender but paired with their spicy better than sex BBQ sauce it became amazing. I put that bbq on my wings as well and I am absolutely in love with it. They have burnt ends on Wednesday's only so that's when I'll go back to try those and get a good amount of the spicy bbq sauce that they sell by the bottle!! read more

No manager at 4:45 in the afternoon. Burnt ends were dried out. I have had burnt ends many times before. These were not good. Mac and cheese was good. Ribs and brisket was good. Bbq was dried out. Potato salad was good. We didn't like the baked beans that were called the best baked beans. You need an adult there to run the business. read more

Very mediocre bbq. The sausage was very disappointing. See my pictures for reference. It was honestly more of a hot dog and didn't have enough fat or flavor. The collard greens has a weird sweetness and I much would've liked more saltiness and acidity. Pork and the cheesy rice casserole was the star of the dish. Prices were very good. Overall it was a decent place. Sausage was very disappointing. But the pork was good bbq. Inside has a nice sit down atmosphere. read more

Unfortunately previous reviews of food being cold were accurate. While I understand that bbq is cooked much earlier in the day , it should still be served hot. I got the ribs that were tasty but again just luke warm which just kind of grossed me out. I am local but had only one other experience eating at Wiley's. My wife got the smoked Reuben which was more like a chicken salad sandwich, underwhelming. Service was OK. I've had better bbq at chains sadly, like Jim and Nicks. Won't be back. read more

Well thought I would give it a 2nd chance, but to my disappointment the pork ribs were more like pre made and had no meat! Sorry won't be back read more

We ended up here after my son had a meltdown at the beach and we couldn't find anywhere on Tybee that had something he wanted to eat. The food was so good that my dad and husband wanted to go back the next day (and we did)! The pickle fries were the best - way better than a typical fried pickle! The guys really enjoyed the wings and the brisket, and the sauces were great. The portions were very generous, the service was super friendly, and the space did not feel cramped at all. read more
