I'll preface this by saying that had a realized I was ordering within 30 minutes I would have never gone - so I partially blame myself because at that point of the day, food generally isn't the best quality.
Went to Wilson's for the first time. For the positives, customer service was good - helpful and kind, the space was clean and well lit, and although they were sold out of some key dishes, like the ribs, there were still plenty of options.
I ordered the brisket, mac, sweet potatoes and blueberry cornbread.
For the not so good - I didn't look at, nor try, my food until I got home. At first glance, I knew the Mac would be disappointing. It lacked seasoning, was rather bland, and the breadcrumbs lacked the crisp butteryness it typically provides. The brisket was, ok - there was a smokey taste, and visually you can see that seasoning was added, however, as it was shredded I couldn't detect evidence of a smoke ring on the actual meat. Also, as I picked around, I noticed a fair amount was actually fat, which again, I guess would be from the bottom of the pan since it was the end of the night. The BBQ sauce made it much better, though I tend to judge good bbq on the meats flavor without any sauce, and this needed the sauce. As for the sweet potatoes, this was a bit more disappointing because more than half were undercooked, as in crunchy/not fork tender, and therefore inedible. Of the few tender pieces I could eat, the flavor was good, so it was disappointing that I couldn't actually enjoy more of it. Lastly the cornbread. This was pretty good, you don't really taste much blueberry, but it was cakey, moist, and large enough to share. However, the amount of honey butter they give you is darn near laughable, as in there was barely any in the container. It was tastie - a salted butter that wasn't overly sweet, but if you're trying to share the butter with others, good luck, lol
*also, not that critical but I'll note it anyway... the menu said it came with pickles - there were none in my platter*
All in all, I don't think the $30 I spent on this was worth the quality of food I received. As I stated in the beginning, I will be generous and attribute at least some of my disappointment to getting whatever they had left. But, if I'm honest, I'm not really encouraged to come back either as nothing really stood out as having the potential of being great if I got it earlier in the day.
