Smokin Willies BBQ - Barbecue Restaurant & Event Venue - Galesburg (IL)

5 /5 LaJanice Sanderson: First time eating here. My daughter was with me and her and her fiancée were here before and loved it and she wanted me to try it. The food was amazing and service impeccable. Definitely recommend eating here. They have a huge banquet room with a stage for a band and private bar for rental. Theres a game room as well. Decor was very warm feeling.

5 /5 Aaron Olin: Weve been going to Smokin Willies everywhere theyve been. Waylands food is always on point, and this visit was no exception. Expanded standard menu, great sides, great work on the bbq. I got the Moose Platter with tips, 3 bones, 3 wings, and a catfish fillet. Ribs were the best Ive had in a long time, and the catfish was so good I got another sandwich to go. Always get mac/cheese, wings, and fries, and if they have greens get them too. Ask for the spicy sauce, get a cold beer, and have some of the best bbq in town.

5 /5 kristin Perez: Smoking Willies is an amazing place where you can just sit, relax, and vibe with the atmosphere. Its all jazzed up with the smell of barbecue everywhere and it makes your taste buds want to dance. The owners are pretty cool too. They come out and talk with you and ask how your days been. Thats pretty cool. Id suggest that if youre going to try something and youve never been in there you should really get a slab. Wayland Really knows his way around some barbecue. Its slap yo mama good!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️. They also have a chill gambling room, as well as night club in the back. Ive never been able to indulge into the shenanigans at night there, but I have heard they have some of the best local and non-local bands there along with a different variety of genres.

1 /5 Donovan Jaco: I dont know if it was because it was a mass cook for a crowd? The food was not all that good. The chicken quarters were still pretty pink inside. The pork loin tasted like i had cooked it in my stove. Potatoes were ok and probably the best thing. Green beans could have had more bacon and flavor. Nothing really stood out as flavorful to me. Once again, could have been because it was a Christmas party and a large number, but on my own, i wouldnt have paid for this meal.

5 /5 Johnnie B: 10-14-2025 My friend and I ordered six smoked wings with barbecue sauce and the three meat platter with two slices of brisket, three rib bones and three chicken wings. I chose the baked beans and coleslaw sides and my friend had onion rings and coleslaw for his sides. We met the owners and had a good time.The food was excellently smoked, the sides were all delicious and we will go back!!!! *****
