"WildMan BBQ is THE best BBQ I've ever tried. I ordered the brisket plate and it literally melted in my mouth. It wasn't greasy, it was just that tender. I've tried brisket from all over, but this was exceptional. My husband tried the pulled pork and he said it was also excellent. We're planning to stop by again on our travels from Texas. Way to go, WildMan BBQ! You've got something truly special going!"

"Didn’t take any photos, I ate it too fast Mike is an old friend. Finally got around to stopping by. My favorite was the sauce. If it isn’t homemade, just don’t tell me but after reading the reviews, looks like I’ll have to come back to try the brisket. Thanks, Mike!"
