Double B’s BBQ & Burgers. Brisket and Ribs

Took my sister out for her birthday. There were six of us, no reservation and we were seated very quickly. The place was packed too. Everything ordered was out of this world good. We all ordered something different and had try each others meats — pulled pork, brisket, ribs and chicken. The corn bread was fantastic. The old fashions are the best. Mark and his wife Judy stopped by our table more than once. Really made you feel welcome and valued as a customer. The service was exceptional! The bill was under $ 100 so surprising for everything we had ordered. One of the best foodie places in West Allis! Will be back again in the very near future.

Outstanding service, brisket was cooked perfectly, baked beans excellent and the homemade sauces were outstanding
If you have not been there, go. You won’t be disappointed.

Just came back from a wonderful dinner here. The smoked ½ chicken is so yummy and moist. My dining partner had the smoked brisket and he loved it! The owners are friendly and engaging. The service could be a bit quicker but the food is so delectable that additional time waiting for the check pales in comparison to the tasty meal.

This is my first experience at double b’s and I wish I could say it was a good one. When I walked in the smell of the food had me super excited!
Then I sat at my table for 20 minutes to get a drink. I was a bit frustrated but I figured it’s a super busy THURSDAY (at 7pm). I I watched two other tables come into the restaurant, get seated, get drinks and food. One table even finished their meal before I received my food.
Edit: I ended up staying for the meal,(I was seated at 7pm, my food was served around 7:58) the food was delicious! However the service was extremely poor. The owner had time to message me on Unilocal,When I was STILL in the restaurant! He messages me about understaffing, while his waitress blames the cook! He also tells me «I hope we can make it up to you»
Wouldn’t it be a good idea to try and fix the situation while your customer is sill in the restaurant? Unfortunately my first visit will be my last.

Found this place from Google and it was not far from where I was. You can smell it from about a block away, (a good smell by the way!) Inside its a small place around 12 tables and a 10 – 12 seat bar. Your first impression may be this seems strange. The table area does not scream BBQ place but it is clean and all the seating although a cherry red covering one may think is old or dated is all in very good condition I couldn’t find one tear or imperfection in it. It will not matter because the rich BBQ smells speak for its self. all you’ll want is a seat and a menu! The staff was great our server Stephen was nice and attentive. The other server was also very nice to the tables next to us, they both had a good handle on what was going on
The food.
5 stars for sure. It is very good BBQ on pace with BBQ I have had in many parts of the county that are much better know for BBQ. I am very pleased that I found this place, I’m from out of town but I’ll stop in next time I’m here for sure, can’t wait to taste the rest of the menu
To sum it up with its clean the people are nice and the food is good all for a fair price.

Had a great lunch with my wife. Brisket plate was excellent great smoke on the meat and a good char the meat was so good It needed no sauce. The sides beans and cole slaw were excellent along with a good corn muffin. Kathy had a pulled pork sandwich with sweet potatoe fries also a hit. We’ll be back!

West Allis has a real gem in Double B’s. Slow smoked meat and homemade sauce = deliciousness in a cozy place!
The menu beckoned from the street where the featured app — bacon balls — was front and center. They were so good it was easy to imagine that’s where the name came from. Picture fully-​cooked meatballs, dipped in deep-​fried beer batter, wrapped with crunchy bacon. Pure meat satisfaction. They come served with sides of spicy sauce and blue cheese sauce for dipping.
My friend got a bacon cheeseburger and fries. She said the meat was perfectly prepared and was good. I had the pulled chicken and sweet potato fries. I chose the mild, slightly sweet sauce for my meat and liked it. The chicken was tender and chunky and perfect to enjoy. The sweet potato fries were waffle-​style, thin, crisp and slightly sweet. Perfect to dunk in more barbecue sauce.
I will go back to Double B’s. That was some seriously good cue!

Pretty tasty. The ribs were boss, and smoky! They serve real bbq here, not the grilled meats my Wisconsin brethren are used to.
My child ordered the macncheese and it looked like it came from a box that was nuked by the original a-​bomb. The color was off putting and he taste left something to be desired.
You get knocked a point for having bad macncheese at a bbq restaurant as that’s a staple. I mean honestly people make a roux and get it done properly. I can’t enjoy delicious bbq without a vat of homemade macncheese.
Allow me my birthright, this is America!

Great service and clean! I hate BBQ’s that everything you touch is greasy. Service was great and trying to debate if the burger I had was the best ever in SE Wisco. I hope to go back to try the chicken and brought home mac n cheese for my son who only likes Comet’s and he said it was one of the better ones. (that is big coming from a very choosy critic).

They’ve got some tasty food. I was also here for a private party and tried appetizers, sides, and some meats. I really liked the bacon wrapped meatballs. They looked and tasted delicious. Chicken wings were good too, meaty, tender, and flavorful. The sides were good, I tried the mac and cheese, smoked beans, and coleslaw. The beans and slaw had good flavor and texture. The corn bread muffins were a hit. Tender, moist and sweet. My wife loved them and she’s very particular about her cornbread!
The Ribs and brisket were tasty. I enjoyed them. they had a little tooth to them, but a great smokey flavor. They have a few different sauces to go with their meats, but I prefer it without sauce. I did try the Carolina mustard vinegar sauce after hearing raves, and I liked it, but the meat was fine without the sauce in my opinion.
Nice Atmosphere. Cozy, casual, and clean inside. The owners are friendly, and passionate about their restaurant, and the staff is pretty great too.

This place is off the chain!!! I got pulled pork. Wife got brisket. Crazy awesome flavor. Extra tender meat. Sides are perfect size and great. This place will be a regular stop for us in the future!!!

BEST CORNBREAD, if you take nothing else from this review, know that Double B’s has absolutely amazing CORNBREAD, the best! I attended an event here on Monday. The food was fantastic. Macaroni and cheese, delicious — it’s the kind of cheesy that has strands of cheese hanging off the spoon as you’re helping yourself to a generous portion. Pulled pork, short ribs, wings and brisket were all available. My favorite was the brisket with Carolina sauce. Also loved the bacon balls!
The owners were there and so nice! They really take pride in their work and it shows. The place isn’t very large so it gives off a nice intimate feeling but not in the sense that you would only go there on a date. It’s perfect for catching up with friends, family or a date :-)

Excited I got to check this place out through an event, wouldn’t have realized what I was missing otherwise! The lovely couple who owns the place have a real passion for BBQ and are making sure to crank out quality pulled pork, brisket, mac n cheese, corn bread and more at this cozy little spot. Seriously, I don’t even like cornbread normally, but this was that perfect mix of sweet and not too crumbly.
And if you’re into the Moscow Mule craze, they have the copper mugs to fulfill your dreams. Will definitely be back!

I cannot wait to come back to Double B’s!
I attended an event here and got a chance to sample many of their apps, meats, and sides. The rib was one of the best I’ve had in ages, pulled pork was tender, the corn bread WAS ON POINT (so moist, no butter needed!), and all the sides were solid. The atmosphere is friendly and homey, and all the staff were enthusiastic and clearly passionate about what they’re presenting. Cocktails I sampled were delicious and fit well with the BBQ theme, too.
As a gal from Missouri, I take my BBQ seriously, and have an emotional attachment to it the way Sconnies love their fish fry. I felt right at home here and am really looking forward to sharing this place with others! Way to go, Double B’s!

Mac & Cheese was very tasty and full of gooey cheese. Nice side. Baked beans were super smokey, chunks of meat, and a bit of sweet. Good flavor there. The smoked wings were great, you could taste it all the way through the meat. Crispy and smokey. Well done. Ribs had a nice spice, even better with their spicy sauce. The brisket was ok, found a few good pieces, wasn’t dry, just lacking some of that smokey bbq oomph. Pulled pork was soso, a bit dry. Star of the show was the corn muffins. Could not stop eating them. Nice cocktails and good bottle selection for a nice price. You gotta have beer with bbq. The drinks were good too. The mule and lemonade samples were nice, and the maple bourbon cider and kentucky koolaide were good. Good spot, some real shining star pieces for this place. I’d come again.

Fun restaurant and bar in Stallis. It is near the corner of 74^th and Greenfield; there is plentiful street parking and an adjacent lot. The interior consists of a small dining area, seating around the bar, and a couple tables at the front window. It is a cozy place — the bar is surrounded by wood work which contributes to the cozy feel. It is overall a very clean and tidy establishment (which I always appreciate!).
I was here for an event and had the opportunity to try many items on the menu. The beef brisket was fantastic and they offer 4 different sauces for the meat. The mac ‘n cheese was dang good — it was super cheesy and delicious. The corn bread muffins were another of my favorite items along with the chicken wings. I opted for plain wings with a touch of blue cheese. The wings were meaty and flavorful. There is a variety of wing flavors ranging from mild to super spicy. The bacon wrapped meatballs were a HUGE hit — we couldn’t get enough of them. If you are looking for something unique and very «Wisconsiny» to try, I highly recommend these scrumptious morsels.
Double B’s also has a full bar, with a good selection of beers and unique drinks. The bourbon lemonade is fantastic — it is refreshing and amazing… good for any season but I can see myself enjoying this cocktail to the max in the summer sunshine.
I came home and raved about the food to my fiancée, who is eager to dine at Double B’s. The owners were super friendly and shout out to the cooks and bartenders for making amazing food and drinks! I am definitely looking forward to returning soon :)

Cozy place. Seating is a little cramped. Service was great. Minus the chef touching folks shoulders and asking how the food was. Touching patrons is not a good move. Nevertheless, the food was excellent.
Appetizer– Smokehouse Wings in the xxx sauce.
Perfect crunch to the skin. Kissed with smoke flavor and not overwhelming. Sauce was great. A little sweet and heat that most people could handle. I’d call it «xx» sauce. Would definitely get this again.
Entrees–
1. Combo platter– ½ rack baby back ribs and brisket.
2. Double B’s burger toppped with pulled pork
1. Ribs were great texture and overall flavor. A little tooth to it. Visible smoke ring. I’m not a huge fan of hickory smoke which I believe was the wood used. Not certain though. I would get it again. The brisket was the best I’ve ever had. Hands down.
2. Double B’s burger was cooked perfectly. Not too greasy. Excellent bun. Only disappointment was not enough of the haystack onions on the burger as advertised. We’ll be back for round 2.
Sides– Mac n cheese, coleslaw, cornbread.
Mac n cheese was very cheesy. My wife liked it. It was just ok to me. The coleslaw we both agreed was very fresh and crunchy, but missing something. Maybe more dressing would help. The cornbread was dense, moist, and delicious. Easily our favorite.
Sauces– They were all pretty good… until… My oh my the Carolina sauce was amazing. I’d drink a glass of it with my next bbq meal.
Go here to eat. Now!

Is Double B’s the best BBQ in town? I don’t know that, but I do know it’s probably the friendliest. They’ve been on my «to try» list for a bit, so we stopped in last night to try them out.
Atmosphere: B
Cozy, casual & comfortable. It’s a smaller space, with seating for perhaps 50 plus the bar. It’s nicer than your typical ‘Stallis place but you’d be comfortable here in just about anything (including camo and a mullet, fully present last night).
Service: A+
It was much like having dinner at a friends house — service is casual, but fun. They’ll joke around with you a bit and the chef seems to make the rounds regularly to check on people. When our server dropped off the sauce caddy he also dropped off a basket of wings because «free wing Wednesday» — how fun is that?
BBQ: B+
I went with the ½ chicken ($ 12) and it was a very meaty portion with lots of nice smoke flavor. My preference is for pulled chicken but I was pretty happy with what I had. The mister had a brisket topped burger and the brisket was lean and not dry. Meals come with coleslaw (just fine), cornbread (homemade, excellent — sweet, dense and not dry) and a side. I opted for Mac’n’Cheese and it was «good». I might try the veg of the day next time — yesterday’s choice was buttered beets. There are 4 sauce choices — KC, Texas, XXX (not really hot IMO) and a really excellent Carolina mustard.
Dessert: A
Usually we skip dessert but they had bread pudding and I couldn’t resist. It’s served with two sauces — a warm heavy cream and the most delicious, buttery, homemade bourbon caramel. Absolutely delicious.
Overall: B+
Smoke Shack is still probably the best BBQ in the city proper but Double B’s is pretty darn good. The prices are reasonable, and the staff really does make you feel at home. Will I come back? Absolutely yes!

This is hands down the best BBQ joint in the Milwaukee (West Allis) area. As soon as we walked in the smell was awesome. Owner was very friendly even took me out back to show off his smoker when I inquired about his process. The food was off the hook. Get there early if you want baby back ribs, they do run out. The brisket was the best I’ve had. The sauces were delicious especially the XXX which is not as spicy as you might suspect with it being labeled XXX. My wife & I both loved it & for the record we are both KCBS certified BBQ judges.

I visited this location on a trip to Milwaukee from Oklahoma. I truly enjoyed the vibe I received from the staff, especially Wendy at the bar. I ordered ½ slab of spare ribs, coleslaw, mashed potatoes & cornbread, which was DELICIOUS Since I ordered an entrée, I received 3 free wings (Wednesday Special). The BBQ was good, not as good as back home but it was still worth it. I noticed there was not very many people coming in making the atmosphere a bit boring. I would suggest they do more & better specials during the week, maybe even punch cards to get a free appetizer/​entrée to bring more people in. This location is fairly new & hope they stay around. I may just visit again !

Double B’s reminded me of going out for dinner up north but with the food of down south. Nothing trendy and fancy, just good food, good company, and a full bar to round out the week with. We lucked out on a Friday night and got seated right away for two (the place isn’t very big though, so I think we just got lucky).
We both got BBQ meals: a Kielbasa plate with buttered beats on the side (veggie of the day) and a Pulled Pork plate with mac on the side. The main meats were plentiful and perfectly cooked. The mac and cheese side threw me off a bit because it was a very sharp cheddar and not as creamy as expected, but was still good. Both came with cole slaw, which was SPOT ON (and trust me, I’m a harsh judge of the slaw — Double B’s does it right!). Each meal also came with a corn bread muffin with a cute little butter puff — the cornbread was perfect, but sadly not served warmed (so my butter puff just sat, unmelty). Overall delicious, despite my little tiffs listed above.
Our waitress was a real gem and was great about explaining the different sauces and things. I did ask for a water that I never got, but was too distracted by the awesome food and my cocktail to pay much mind. Was a bit distracted from the food though by the tiny sidebar arguments that the staff seemed to be having throughout the evening. Not sure what was going on, and it didn’t disrupt our service at all, but was a little strange to see it happening out in the open.
On a whole: can’t wait to go back again. The ribs are on my list and Double B’s has got my attention as one more great spot for some good BBQ!

A hidden gem on Greenfield Ave. that is sure to tantalize your BBQ tastebuds. We had dinner here tonight, I have the half chicken and my fiancé has the rib/​meat combination. You get your meal, a fantastic piece of cornbread, coleslaw and the side of your choice. There’s also a set of sauces placed at your table for you to test out, each of them a different style or regional flavor i.e. Texas, Kansas City, spice habanero, etc. The staff was extremely friendly and fun to chat with! Typically at restaurants it’s weird if waitstaff linger, but it’s a small place and they were all so funny that it was welcome. They have a great microbrew list which they were very knowledgable about. You will leave full, with the meat sweats and a yearning for returning! A new favorite for sure.

They just changed owners and you can tell some things have been eliminated but it is still mostly the same. Bartender was very friendly. Food is great as always. They do have good Old Fashions. They have an app called Bacon Balls and when I inquired about then the batender told me they were pig testicles wrapped in bacon and deep fried! I thought he was serious until he told me he as joking. I’m sure I had a priceless look on my face. And I won’t lie– for one second I considered it. But then he told me they were meatballs wrapped in bacon. I was sold! If you haven’t tried this little gem in Stallis– make it your next dinner stop!

This is some legit BBQ! Got the ribs… Best.Ribs.In.MKE! The smoky flavor can’t be beat! The mac n cheese was very tasty too!
Oh, can’t forget about the corn bread, sooo good too!

MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE!
Must try: Jalepeno popper dip, Double B burger with brisket, and the smoked wings!
Best wings in Milwaukee hands down.

I went in for a second visit to use the second of three vouchers I acquired via Groupon. This visit was as good as the first visit.
I had the brisket last time, so I ordered the baby back rib and pulled pork combo ($ 21) with mashed potatoes. All dinners come with cole slaw, corn bread and choice of side. I had the beans last time.
The smoked baby back ribs were among the best I’ve had in Milwaukee. They were moist and tender, and the meat did not «fall off the bone» because it’s NOT supposed to for good smoked BBQ. That’s fine for slow and low, oven baked ribs. I could taste the seasoning from the rub, which isn’t always the case with smoked ribs I’ve had in town. I was impressed.
The pulled pork started out great. The meat on the top layer had a great smoky flavor and it was also moist and tender. However, it was served on a plate in a small puddle of drippings or oil, or pork jus or grease. Whatever it was, the pork was saturated with it and it killed the smoky flavor I enjoyed with the top layer of meat. It also made the pork heavy and not sit well in my stomach, so I stopped eating it. It is probably fine on a sandwich because the bread can soak up the liquid.
The cole slaw was the same as last time. I mixed it up because most of the cream was at the bottom. The corn bread was moist and the house made mased potatoes were made with red potatoes. They had a subtle buttery flavor and did not need gravy or anything else. They were solid as is.
It was a ton of food and I couldn’t finish it all even if I didn’t have the issue with the pork. This platter would feed two people easily. It was a good value at $ 21.
I have one more voucher, so I plan to try a burger and the smoked chicken wings I heard other customers rave about, but so far I’m a fan.

Stopped on a Saturday afternoon to sample some ‘Stallis Q– sat at the bar as we usually do. Disappointed they don’t carry draft beer, but It’s a Q joint, not a bar, so no biggie.
Chatted up the bartender, she let me peek at the smoker. I was happy to see it was an Olé Hickory pit. In the war between smokers, Olé Hickory is the underdog to Southern Pride, and maybe that’s why I like them.
The place makes their own sauces, Kansas City style which is typically sweeter sauce, Texas style, a nice bold sauce with a little kick, the XXX is their spiciest, but it’s not awful. And last, the mustard based Carolina style. (My favorite for pulled pork)
My pulled pork Sammie came out promptly, served on a tin plate and checkered paper. The bun was soft on the inside with a nice crisp exterior. The bun was grilled inside, which helped keep the buns from getting soggy. Unfortunately, my portion didn’t include much bark, so I’m unable to comment on the rub. The pork had a nice smokey flavor that was well complimented by the Mustard sauce. It did have a weird kinda mushy consistency– not sure how or why this would happen, maybe they’re using equipment to pull or shred the pork? Not sure.
The Sammie comes with one side, today I picked the Acorn Squash. A nice sweet side in a cup, topped with Pecans– a nice touch!
The bartender was chatty and friendly, staff seems happy. It won’t be my first choice for Q in cream city, but it definitely won’t be my last choice either!

Good food, reasonably priced for what you get.
Expect the corner bar feel, with the friendly corner bar type service. That’s a good thing, in my book.
They also make a great old fashioned!

I ordered the Berry/​Peach Moonshine before and with my meal. The alcohol is unnoticeable, the Berry reminded me of regular fruit punch, with an after taste of Apple (which was mentioned as a usual option along w/​the other Moonshine flavors). My order consisted of a Black bean burger, crinkle-​cut fries, and a wedge salad. The burger quickly fell apart, due to soaking up its immense flavor. They have four flavors for your entrée, which they mentioned, beyond the typical ketchup and mustard. Three out of the four were a type of barbeque sauce, and the fourth is a mustard-​honey vinagerette. The bar area covers half of the restaurant space, and is right across from the dining room. Their are slot machines on the side of BB’s that actually work! They can cash out for up to $ 200.
