What recent reviews say

Willieboy's pulls consistently tender, well-seasoned brisket and ribs that keep regulars coming back. Garrett handles catering with patience and care, making custom selections easy and keeping guests happy at weddings and corporate events.

The operation spans a food truck and catering, with sides (especially smoked mac and cheese) that reviewers praise as highly. One driver incident and a rare missing order mark the only meaningful complaints against an otherwise glowing track record.

Praised for
  • tender, juicy smoked meats
  • consistent quality across visits
  • friendly, genuine service

Reviewers consistently rave about the authenticity and flavor of the Korean and ramen dishes, plus the owner's warmth. The small-venue charm and generous portions attract repeat visits, though service can turn sharp when busy, and the 6 p.m. closing time catches people off guard.
