Wilson's BBQ

"This is a combination dinner of beef and hot links. It's a great pair, because the beef is so tender and the links have a real chew. At the edges are beans, cole slaw, and an individual buttermilk pie. Garnishes include raw onion and pickle."
Michael Stern






"Sandra Wilson, whose uncle was founder J.B. Wilson, shows off the kitchen's luxurious smoked potato (this one NOT stuffed with barbecue)."
Michael Stern



"I was halfway through lunch before I even thought of adding barbecue sauce. The meat is so moist and flavorful, it requires none. But Mr. Adetula's sauce is pretty darn wonderful -- tongue-tingling hot with a vintage savor like some fine old bourbon."
Michael Stern



"Apparently, it used to be common for customers to come around to the kitchen for debris from the barbecue -- often the best part. Now, that practice is forbidden."
Michael Stern



"Wilson's barbecue lost none of its character when the restaurant was renovated."
Michael Stern



"A good piece of evidence for our contention that most restaurants with mottos are good places to eat"
