Willie Jewell's Old School BBQ

Welcome to the home of good grub! We opened our doors in honor of Willie Jewell herself -- a former employee from Jacksonville who was an exceptional cook with a sharp wit and an immeasurable heart. Staying true to Willie’s traditions, we serve great eats with a side of good ol’ southern hospitality. Every day, you'll find us smoking meats and making your favorite sides and homemade sweets right here in-house. Bite into fall-off-the-bone ribs, dig into some collard greens, or enjoy Miss Jewell’s famous BBQ Salad.

Willie Jewell Daniels was a 16-year-old girl with no home and no means. The Adeeb Family rescued Daniels from the streets of Jacksonville and offered her a job at their legendary Green Turtle Restaurant and later, Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q in Jacksonville, Florida.
