  Third time ordering from Wilma’s and it wasn’t what I expected this time. Ordered large tips and link, get ready to eat…. NO LINKS. I have been calling ever since Saturday night to make a complaint and here it is Monday night and NOBODY ANSWERS THE PHONES !!!! I travel at least 10 miles to get your food, and no way to complain !!!!! Passed quite a few other Barbecue restaurants.

  Bought a chicken tip special for lunch today along with several other orders. The chicken tips were NOT CHICKEN, they were dry turkey tips broken up in little bits of crumbs as if I got the bottom of the pot. They were tough, dry and somewhat burnt. I will never order from here again on Sibley! First time trying chicken tips from there, but they were chicken tips they were dry and burnt turkey tips!. Never Again.

  Clearly I ordered chicken tips and instead got pork every thing. The young lady did explain they had no more turkey links. I was going to give the link to some one who eats pork. The fries was cold and half done, the link was cold and burnt, and the chicken omg. If I lived around the corner I would've brought it back. But I don't. I guess the cook that day wanted to give me what he wanted to give me. Also, can you please make sure the customer are getting what they ordered. Gas is toooooo high!!!! Thank you A almost dissatisfied customer

  My first experience with Wilma's was at the Downtown location. We had a team lunch; it was 6 of us. Three had large turkey tips and three had large rib tips. Two Turkey tips and one rib tip had no sauce, but on the side. Everyone was very pleased with their order! Tips were meaty, tender, flavorful and filling! Very nice portions. I had the turkey tips with sauce on the side. I didn't use sauce at all; not even when I ate the second half the next day. The tips were smoked just right. No sauce was needed at all. I was so pleased with my food at that location, I convinced two others to try Wilma's in Dolton. We tried that location. Worst suggestion I made. The person who took our order was nice and patient. We ordered one full slab of ribs, 10 piece fried chicken, and turkey tips for me. The slab of ribs were NOT meaty. The ribs that did have a little more meat were very pully, rough, and a little burned; you couldn't even eat that part. The sauce was flavorless and nothing to be desired. The chicken wings were not seasoned well and the fries tasted plain on all others. No salt at all with the same tasteless sauce on top. The Turkey tips were NOT tips! They were thin slices of meat, no bones, no smoked taste, with undesirable sauce. What I had was not tender nor comparable to the turkey tips at the Downtown location. Our order was expensive; and we were left highly disappointed, dissatisfied, and not pleased with the food! Two stars at best!
