I noticed in a previous review that Bill's has maybe changed their sauce? It could be since I thought there was something different this time.My grandparents used to get Bill's when we visited Metropolis decades ago. They'd also get several pounds and bring it out east when they visited. It was always a highlight of the trip.We were in Metropolis for a family reunion and got several pounds of the pulled pork to go. I think the sauce may be a reason it tasted different. Also, I think someone said they ordered the "less fat" option. I didn't even know that existed. It wasn't my favorite, in any case. You need the bark and char sprinkled in.The meat was very tender but almost too soft, if that makes any sense. Cole slaw was fine, nothing great. The potato salad was very good.Maybe I'm remembering the "good ol' days" when I'd eat four sandwiches in a row. But it didn't do it for me like it used to. However, in two years when I'm back in Metropolis, I'll be showing up again to give it a try.

This place has S L O W service. The food is good but... They have a salad I love. I always call my order in for pick-up so that I don't have to wait 10-15 minutes at the window. I did so the other day and as I got there a truck had just placed their order and was pulling forward I hoped they would see it was me and either run the salad out or ask the truck to pull forward. Staff seemed to know the truck driver as three different staff had personal conversations with him. They saw me but never asked the truck to pull forward. I waited 15 minutes. I won't do that again no matter how good the salad is.

They may be set up in a camping trailer, but they make good BBQ and great sauce! Their trailer allows them to travel and do shows. But we're glad to have them in Metropolis!
