★★★★★ 5.0 Rachelle Dickau · Nov 2025

I ordered catering for 30 people in a business meeting. We had ribs, sliced brisket, and turkey with salad, baked beans & baked potato salad. Of course we also ordered sweet tea. The food was cooked perfectly, there was plenty of it and tasted fantastic! Everyone was so pleased. I would highly recommend to everyone. I will use them again and encourage others to as well.

Decent BBQ ribs and I like how you can get anywhere from 2 ribs to a full rack. BBQ sauce was satisfactory. The beans had a lot of flavor. My biggest issue was that the other sides like corn or green beans were oily or lacked flavor and nothing was super hot. Just warm enough. Not sure I’ll be back but it was well priced meal for lunch.

Clay was absolutely amazing! He generously sponsored our Salvation Army Senior Christmas dinner and delivered delicious food for 40 people with such kindness and care. The ham, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, and dinner rolls were all incredible—everyone loved it. We were beyond satisfied and so grateful for his support. Highly recommend!

Excellent bbq joint way down in Franklin. I chose the multi meat plate. The Polish, ribs, brisket, and pulled pork were all delicious. They give you plenty of pickles as well. Scarfed the food down before taking photos, but will be back. I'm not a Lions fan, but I always admired Billy Sims as a player. He has a great bbq chain.

Ok, I'm a real BBQ enthusiast, and when it comes to franchise BBQ places, you really need to up your game. If your a Wisconsinite, and think this is the best, it's not. Most times, when I go to a real BBQ place, they smoke the meats in house, which means you can smell it outside the building. I barely smelled it, but you get inside, and it hits you. Employees are nice, but don't go to fast ordering, they might need it repeated. Food took about 5 minutes, just waiting on the slicing of my selection. 3 meat, 2 sides. They were out of turkey, so I got pulled pork, bologna, and sliced brisket. I'm always looking for that pink smoke ring for obvious reasons. The brisket had it, but minimal. The more pink ring, the better the flavor. While it might have been smoked, it might have been for a coup
