Overall Score: 7.4/10 – A spacious and clean BBQ joint with a homey feel, friendly and engaging staff, and a well-structured menu with plenty of options, making for a great dining experience. Atmosphere and Service: 7.5/10 – The restaurant has a unique and inviting BBQ-style ambiance that feels both comfortable and authentic. The space is clean, well-maintained, and roomy enough for a relaxed dining experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and engaging, adding to the welcoming environment. The menu was easy to navigate, offering a wide variety of options. The BBQ sauce table was a nice touch, and the food arrived on time. Pricing was fair for the quality provided. Meats: 7.2/10 – The brisket was excellent, with a bold, flavorful taste and incredibly tender texture. The chicken stood out even more, featuring a rich smoky flavor and an exceptional level of tenderness, making it one of the most well-prepared smoked chickens around. Sides: 6.6/10 – The baked beans had a good flavor, though nothing too extraordinary. The mac and cheese was very good, with a creamy and satisfying texture. The onion rings were fresh and crispy, adding a nice crunch to the meal. Chicken Wings: 8.2/10 – A highlight of the meal. These wings were perfectly cooked, with a great appearance and excellent sauce. The combination of flavor, texture, and execution made them a standout dish that is highly recommended.

It’s absolutely delicious every single time I come in. Always clean and the staff is so attentive. Especially Ms. Allison, she’s a hidden gem for sure!

Food was amazing. I got the two timer with brisket and pulled pork. The brisket: perfect. Pork: juicy. Sauce: saucy. Mac & cheese: phenomenal. It was so good that I went back and ordered a peach cobbler too. Best part is that all that was less than 20. My only complaint is that I’m from out of state and will have to wait to come again. Will definitely recommend to friends visiting the area

I really enjoyed my meal and visit at Willie Jewell's BBQ. I ordered a beef brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans. I started by taking a bite of the baked beans, and enjoyed that first delicious mouthful so much that I finished off the whole side barely coming up for breath. Then I moved to the brisket. The sandwich was STACKED. Very savory beef, and so tender. The assortment of BBQ sauces has a flavor for everyone - I particularly enjoyed the hickory flavored sauce. The service is great here. They really aim to please, and they succeed. My partner got the pulled pork and didn't say a word until it was finished. Also very delicious. Good menu choices and sides. They have Coca Cola (not Pepsi) so kudos and for that, too.

First time we've visited and it was delicious!! We ordered pork, chicken, turkey, and side of baked beans and onion rings and an order of smoked sausages and hushpuppies. We really enjoyed everything except the turkey, and smoked turkey is always my favorite. The portions were generous and there's enough for another meal. Being from WV I will say I'm not a fan of their BBQ sauce, but I know that's personal preference.

Great BBQ! Got the brisket BLT with fried tomatoes on the sandwich with onion rings on the side. Too big for me too finish but definitely brought the left overs home! Not a full service restaurant, you order at the counter and they bring your food to the table and you fill your own drink but the girls working the counter were very nice and the cook was COOKIN !

Outstanding BBQ. Been there twice this week dine in and also take out. Brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Delicious. String beans and collard greens the best I have had. If you like BBQ you need to try Willie Jewell’s. Service and prices are truly excellent. Very comfortable place to eat and watch tv.
