What an amazing place! We overnighted in Galesburg and needed a place to go and eat. The ladies at smoking Willy’s barbecue got us some barbecue sandwiches to go and we’re so kind showed us around and we’re lovely to our mascot Atlas the wonder dog.. going to mention this place to all of our fellow truck drivers!

My daughter, grandson and I stopped to have lunch there this past Saturday. I was extremely impressed by everything. The service was fantastic. Our waitress/bartender was very friendly and made us feel like part of the family. It was not a long wait at all for the food. And when it came, we were in awe. The serving sizes were very generous. My daughter had rib tips and said they were amazing. My grandson had ribs and said they were delicious. He also stated that the fries were the best he’d ever had. I ordered chicken tenders and they were beyond delicious as was my coleslaw and onion rings. We had a fantastic experience and we will definitely be going back. And we also be letting all our family and friends know what a great place it is!!!!!

Excellent BBQ, cold drinks, and friendly staff. This local, family owned place is a gem. Not only is the good great, but they also have a large venue for occasional live music. A real asset to the local scene.

Had to pick up my wife from the train station and went there for barbecue. The ribs was excellent. Next time I'm in town, I do plan ongoing back. Which I hope is really soon

The BEST BBQ in town! We are visiting from Florida and we always seek out the best bbq in our travels. The rib rack here at Smokin’ Willie’s was absolutely divine!! They were smokin and it was open. I will definitely be back. Also, the building has a lot of cool features and the decor is really nice. This was a great night!

Lovely experience all around, honestly some of the best bbq I’ve had. Starting with onion rings and then ribs and brisket sandwich for the meals, everything was absolutely incredible but if I had to choose one thing you have to order it would be the ribs .The service was also very kind and welcoming , and the decor is so cute !10s across the board
