This place is legit. We ordered the pulled pork & brisket sandwich w/coleslaw & a 3-meat platter (ribs, brisket, chicken) w/green beans & Mac. Everything were so delicious & smoky. Appreciated the 4 sauces: gold, sweet, spicy, hickory. Try them all, each one was unique. Portions were more than adequate. Total was $35.36 before tips & 2 waters. Cash discount available. 2 thumbs up!

One of the best BBQ joints I’ve been to in the country. Ribs were definitely top shelf ribs. Johnny is manager & definitely Pitmaster.He will also take good care of u – great customer service – thanks Johnny. Smoked just right, nice tasty bark on outside, but not chewy. Tender & great moisture on the rib meat = done to perfection! I was just at Pig Fest as a BBQJudge with 50 teams competing & these ribs would have been my top pick.Brisket was again smoked perfectly, nice smoke ring, blackened on outside and moist & tender – as good as the best TX brisket I’ve had. Sides were top notch, green beans, cole slaw, Mac & cheese – yum!And what a great name Willy Jewels – y’all got the best ribs in Augusta, no doubt.

Amazing people and amazing food, I’m staying in Augusta for the week for work, and I was looking for food driving with my windows down, and I could smell the BBQ from almost a mile away, once I got in I was immediately greeted by Tiffany who’s a generous and kind soul, and she helped me figure out what I wanted to eat and treated me with the up most hospitality, if you want to sit down and have some BBQ and you’re passing by, definitely don’t pass this place up!!! The staff here definitely take pride in their work and cooking and you won’t be disappointed.

Didn’t realize it was a chain until just now but didn’t affect the taste obviously.
Overall: B
Brisket: A-
-Good bark and flavor.
-Tad bit dry but otherwise no complaints
-Best thing I had
Pork: B
-A little dry, a little bland but that’s probably because there was no bark in my pork plate.
-Mixed in with sides, it was a good bite.
Mac & Cheese: C
-Reminds me of frozen Stoufer’s and sometimes that’s just good enough.
Brunswick Stew: D
-More like a loaded vegetable soup but with less flavor. Did not finish.
Sausage: C
-Bland, and was soft like it had been boiled instead of grilled/smoked.
Greens: A-
Nana puddin’: B+
Sauces: A
-Served warm!
-Hickory (surprisingly) and the Hot one were my favorites.
Pricing: A, for BBQ
Service: A; friendly staff and order was 100% correct.

Subject: Extremely Disappointing Order – Augusta Location (Grubhub)
I placed a dinner order this evening from your Augusta location through Grubhub. The order included:
Two-meat option (beef with hickory sauce, pork with sassy sauce)
Coleslaw
Baked beans
Six wings with sassy sauce
Blue cheese dressing
The order arrived in approximately 35–40 minutes, which was acceptable. However, when I opened the bag, several items were missing and the food quality was unacceptable.
There were:
No utensils
No napkins
No blue cheese dressing
No hickory sauce
Additionally, the meats were cold, the baked beans were barely warm, and the coleslaw was not at an appropriate chilled temperature.
When I called the restaurant to report the issue, the person who answered stated, “I didn’t bag your order.” When I suggested that someone should look into who did, she laughed. That response was more disappointing than the food itself.
This experience reflects poorly not only on this location, but on your brand as a whole. I will not be ordering again from this Augusta location or any of your other restaurants.
I hope management takes this feedback seriously.

Decided to try out Willie Jewell’s as our Memorial Day solution. Ordered a whole barbecue chicken, half rack of ribs, as well as beef brisket (eaten up before pictured). Of the 3 meats, the brisket was the star of the show; smoky, juicy, with fatty and tender bites and was delicious on its own without sauce. In second place was the barbecue chicken, which was also juicy and tender. The ribs were the most disappointing as it was the meat I was most looking forward to, but it ended up being dry and tough to eat, and needed a lot of barbecue sauce to make it palatable. The customer service was excellent and ordering was very convenient. Would come back again for the chicken and beef brisket but would skip the ribs.

Sweet & Sassy BBQ flavored Wings with one side collard greens are juicy and delicious. Next time imma try the baked beans as a side item. Conveniently located to pickup order hot and fresh.

First time at Willie Jewells. I had the St Louis ribs, baked beans and collards with a piece of Cornbread. It was delicious! The service was excellent and the staff was attentive. I truly enjoyed the experience. I’ll definitely be back with friends again.

It’s very rare to find a restaurant where every dish is good….. well all of the food that I ordered, anyways. I ordered a two meat plus two sides combo, which was recommended by johnny. Johnny was awesome, by the way. The pulled pork was tender, juicy and had a really good smoky flavor.
The brisket was also juicy and tender and slightly fatty, which was perfect.
The collard greens where’s Savory with a hint of sweetness and heat. It had a slightly bitter undertone that was balanced by the richness of the broth, and I could taste of vinegar which provided acidity.
I could go on and on with this place. It was my first time here and certainly won’t be my last. Once again, it’s very difficult to find a restaurant with such high quality food such as this one. I will definitely be back.
