Augusta Eats: Willie Jewell's takes slow-smoked barbecue to a new level
When planning a visit to Willie Jewell's Old School Bar-B-Q, expect a big Southern greeting and some of the best slow-smoked barbecue found anywhere. Tiffany McRae, the front-of-the-house leader, will be at the door, or very nearby, ready to take your order and offer recommendations from the large menus posted inside and outside on the welcoming porch that's complete with rocking chairs. The kitchen is open to the large dining room, separated by tall counters. Willie Jewel's opened 10 years ago in what had once been the Martinez Community Center. The building is sandwiched between the railroad tracks next to Washington Road and a part of Old Petersburg Road that is now Riverwatch Parkway.
