Reviews for Willie Jewell's Old School Bar-B-Q Big Bend in Riverview, FL

I had the two-meat combo with brisket and smoked turkey. They have a sauce bar with different types of sauces. I enjoyed the... variety. The server was friendly; the restaurant was clean, and the bathroom was spotless. I thought the grape juice was a greataddition. It almost tastes like muscadine juice. Read more

Our first visit. Our daughter loves BBQ and she has added this place to our "must visit again" list. Food came to the table... fast and was very good. Sweet tea was very sweet, southern style. We had the pulled pork family meal with mac and cheese andfries and the portion size was very generous. We felt it was a good value for the price. We will visit again. Read more

We've been wanting to try this barbecue restaurant, so we stopped for lunch on a Wednesday. Service was cheerful and friendly,... but the food was average at best. The pulled pork had nice flavor but was too dry to eat without sauce. Pork portions weregenerous, but sides were skimpy. Onion rings, for which there is an upcharge, were doughy and very greasy. Cornbread, servedwithout butter (available on request), was dry and crumbly. The barbecue sauces, particularly the tomato based Sweet and Sassy,were delicious. I've checked the box, but am unlikely to return. Read more

1st try here and not usually someone to leave a review but had to in this case. Wasn't expecting anything special but man, was... I surprised! I got the 3 meat combo w/ 2 sides. Pulled pork, brisket and ribs. All super tender and crisp in all the rightplaces. Great smoke ring and flavor. Ribs fell off the bone but stayed in nice chunky pieces perfect for dippin in to that Q!!I went with spicy BBQ and Carolina Gold and each were good with the right amount of vinegar. Sides were mac and cheese(great)and slaw was good and crunchy. Added bread pudding for dessert and I only wish it was a bigger piece! Great finish to asurprisingly great lunch, I'll definitely be back ???????? Read more

Went here for the first time today. When I first got to the register I asked the gentleman to run down the menu with me and see... if they had any specials. He more than happily help me with the menu and explained everything in detail. He mentioned thespecial of the day and the special sides of the day. I asked him what his favorite was and his top was the brisket, so I orderedthe brisket. He was on point with his explanation and his opinion of the brisket and it was delicious. The collard greens werefresh And flavorful. The mac & cheese was pretty good, could have used a little salt and pepper. The barbecue station wasawesome. My favorite was the mustard base one. All in all, I thought this place was great. I will definitely be back and willtell people about it. Read more

This was my first time going to this restaurant. We went for my father's birthday. We love the Texas style BBQ and it didn't... disappoint. The peach cobbler for dessert is fantastic and the service is really good. I definitely recommend this one! Read more
