Shotgun Willie's BBQ

Incredible brisket❤️ they slice it right in front of you and let you choose how lean or fatty you want it. Portions are very generous. My husband and I shared a plate and added the smoked half chicken, which they split for us. The sauce was solid, the seasoning had great spice, and the queso mac was comfort-food perfection with just a little kick. Paired with a Mexican Coke, it was the perfect lunch. Free and easy parking in their lot makes it even better. A really fantastic spot.

Stopped in here from out of town after doing some Google searches for Nashville BBQ. Arrived around noon and there was a line out the door.. great sign for BBQ. They had a person assigned to help keep the line tight and moving. Lots of local Nashville decor, stickers, pics, posters, etc on the walls with some humorous ones mixed in. The first person I saw working the food counter was owner, Bill. Very polite and seemed excited to serve and help each person and gives off a vibe that makes you feel that he's happy you stopped in. I asked his preference on which hot link he preferred and I could tell he gave me his honest answer and wanted me to enjoy my experience. The food is excellent.. the brisket had a well developed bark on it without drying out. The hot link was good. The pit smoked beans are great, they have a little bit of a mustard/vinegar tang that I really enjoyed, they're definitely not traditional baked beans if thats what you want. Green beans were good. The dill potato salad was awesome. The cashier helped me get a T shirt and BBQ sauce to take home. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone and i will return any time i come through Nashville. I had a sense that each staff member really cared about what they were doing and cared about the product. Everything was as advertised and I appreciate the service I got.

Hands down the best BBQ I ever had, and I have traveled all over the US including Texas many times. The brisket here stood out. He uses the best beef and it definitely shows. The jalapeno cheddar sausage was incredible. The sides were packed with flavor something I don’t see in most BBQ places. Usually the Mac and cheese and potato salad aren’t as flavorful, but Shotgun Willie’s were just the opposite and too good. The bourbon banana pudding was delicious too. I highly recommend this place. Also the service was excellent. The owner is very friendly too.
