An Oasis in a Barbecue Desert
The fact is, whether people like to admit it or not, there is virtually no great barbecue in New England - just like there is almost no great Italian food in the South.

Uncle Willie's is the delightful exception. The ribs - pork or beef - are slow cooked to perfection meaning they are usually eaten quickly. The basic flavoring is provided by a rub that makes the ribs tasty enough to skp the four sauces that are all top-notch. There is also a wide array of genuine barbecue side dishes and a great BYO atmoshere. I'm a rib fan first, but the pulled pork and fried chicken makes me long for Tallahassee.

Check out the menus of other barbecue joints from around the country that cover the walls.

Easy go to get to, located in a small strip mall.    [02 Jun 2003 12:52:55]

As real as it gets!
This is the most authentic bbq by far in the region- call early in the week and have him do a few ducks for you- incredible! His pit set-up is unique and everything is done carefully and correctly resulting in fall off the bone goodness at all times. Also real down home side dishes and a key lime pie with an ungodly flavor and density!
This aint' no foolin' around...    [13 Jun 2003 12:32:58]

Eating Bliss
The food was outstanding, the service friendly and task oriented and the atmosphere clean, relaxed and comfortable . A good place to relax, chat and have a great meal in comfy clothes without having to do the dishes.    [10 Jul 2003 21:23:57]

Great Food so check it out
I have been to Uncle Willies a few times and have always come away with a good taste in my mouth. The sauce is great on top of the pulled pork. It's been so good that the pig roast I do has decided to get their whole pigs from Uncle Willies.    [21 Aug 2003 13:59:00]

I don't usually like BBQ...
...but Uncle Willie's is spectacular! I eat there quite a bit and there are always new, interesting dishes to try. I love the minimalist atmoshpere in which you don't even get napkins, but rather a roll of paper towels on your table to go with your paper plate and plastic utensils.    [20 Sep 2003 17:27:27]

Best BBQ Around
An oasis for a BBQ lover like me. Their buffets are a fantastic bargain - it's fun to eat it with their casual atmosphere and great blues CDs. I usually go for the St. Louis Ribs with half and half sauce (half hot, half sweet). One of the lovely ladies there makes a killer red velvet cake that we special ordered for Christmas last year. Four layers of fabulousness.    [30 Apr 2004 10:26:45]

Best BBQ in NE
I travel to Tennesse to get my pulled pork and I am happy to say that now I only have to go to Uncle Willie's. If you never had pulled pork you don't know what your missing. The Hot sauce could be hotter and the sweet a little less sweet--over all 5*'s    [01 Oct 2004 13:54:50]

What a let down!
I saw these reviews on here for Uncle Willie's and decided to give it a try. I consume at least 30 full racks of babyback ribs a year so I don't consider myself a newbie.

The atmosphere was a let down right off the bat. I'm willing to ignore if the food is awesome. It wasn't!

I got the spicy barbecue babyback ribs, 2 sides, and an order of chicken wings (Death hot).

The ribs were terrible, very near the bottom of what I have had. One end of the rack was like charcol the other was was underdone. Both side dishes were average.

The chicken wings didn't even bring tears to my eyes. When someone calls their wings "Death Spicy" I expect SPICY!!, not what I would consider medium spicy. I had to throw more hot sauce on it to get it up to my level of spicyness. They hotsauce they used is something that tastes very similar to Frank's RedHot. All salt and vinager and not much flavor and spicyness.    [30 Jan 2005 10:48:09]

Used to be good
The food is dried out, the buffet table food is dried out, I have travelled the south so I know the difference between dry rub BBq and just plain awful dried up food, its not like nobody hasn't told him.
