Wiley's Old Fashion BBQ and hamburgers is the kind of place where taste buds take a joyous rollercoaster ride through the classic American barbecue landscape. Tucked away at 1924 Avenue A in Lubbock, TX, this little gem may not scream extravagance from the outside, but inside, it's like a sanctuary of smoky flavors and tangy delights. What makes Wiley's stand out? Well, it could be the palpable aroma of slow-cooked meats wafting into the air or perhaps the sight of satisfied patrons casually conversing over hearty meals.

On the menu, one might find all the hallowed staples of barbecue cuisine - ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and the unexpected, yet welcome inclusion of their famous hamburgers. These aren't just any hamburgers; they're crafted with the same care and attention as their signature smoked meats.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Rebecca Sanchez
The Kool-Aid was astonishing , and the food was great! I wasn’t a big fan of the BBQ sauce being all over the plate(food), but the customer service was amazing. I’d definitely come back again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Lisa Slawson
My first time eating here ONLY because I'm from out of town. This will be my go to BBQ place everytime I come through town. The people are very nice and helpful. The food is so delicious!!! Thank you! Parking lot is big enough for big rigs to turn around in. Its tight but it can be done! 😊

Wiley has an amazing barbecue place. The food is always good. His brisket is our family favorite. He is our go-to anytime we need brisket for a family get together. He's very reliable and his food is always good. His prices are always very reasonable also. This is an all around great place to go.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — James Johnson
I came to visit Lubbock and I had to stop by to see Coach Wylie. I ordered the fish plate and it was, no exaggeration intended, AWESOME! OMG! The portion was large, the fish was well seasoned, and it was reasonably priced. This was the highlight of my day! I can’t wait to come back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ron Rieken
We always get the barbecue and love it. The sausage, ribs and brisket are exceptional. On a suggestion from a friend, we tried the catfish. Mr. Wiley said we'd be back for more. Wow, was he right, the catfish is outstanding. Crispy and flavorful and plenty of it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Joe Donovan
Wow! My taste buds are in heaven! One of the best burgers I had the pleasure of putting into my mouth. Only thing missing is a sitting area to eat.
