At Emil Villa's, a restaurant with over 70 years of history, diners experience a wide range of culinary highlights and pitfalls. The standout offerings include their famous BBQ ribs, which many praise for their generous portions and mouthwatering flavor, especially when paired with the house-made red sauce. Dessert enthusiasts rave about the pies and cheesecakes, noting their perfect sweetness and substantial size. However, not all reviews are positive; some patrons have encountered issues with service and food quality, citing dry ribs and unmentioned extra charges for egg whites. Despite mixed experiences, the nostalgic charm and helpful staff keep diners returning.

Heavy Smoked barbeque wood burning smell so much that I smelled it for the rest of the day. Discovered I Paid extra for add whites, extra charge not mentioned on menu or by the server. Plus initial was served egg whites out of the Carton, requested andreceived whole eggs. As I was paying for the meal asked why extra cost for egg whites were not included on the menu or mentionedI was told I only work here . Wow! Unfortunitely; I will not be back.

Ordered baby back ribs, as dry it tasted as if it had been out there for days. Potato salad had so big pieces in that you almost crocheted. No taste. Terrible food!

This place has been around for like 70+ years i believe. This was my go to when i was a kid when i was asked where do I want to go for my birthday! Easy choice. Their ribs are still the best i have had to date. Do not skip on smothering them with their homemade red sauce! Its money dude I tell ya. Only criticism is to bring back the hot towels after a messy feast. I know covid and all but i feel covid is done and theres nothing like having a hot towel to clean your hands and face after a feast. It completes it.
