There is a technique, there is tender meat, and there is a tradition that has been around for years. When it comes to a delicious barbecue, you can’t beat that.

Sometimes people think that you could throw a rock and hit a good barbecue joint in Florida, but others rely on a bit more than that.
Opening their doors in honor of Willie Jewell herself — Jewell was a former employee at Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q in Jacksonville who was a superb cook with an exceptional spirit.
In honor of Jewell, these barbecue spots make sure to combine traditional smoking techniques with homemade sweets and all your favorite Southern sides.
When you think of Willie Jewell’s Bar-B-Que, picture fall-off-the-bone meat, tender pork sandwiches, tasty homemade sides, and in-house prepared sweets.
Some of the best menu items, though, come in the form of the Big Ol’ Platters, which feature your choice of meat, and a few sides with a slice of garlic toast.
