Mr. Willie Atkins, a lifelong resident of Eutaw, Greene County Alabama, is known for his barbecued meats, prepared with his family’s original barbecue sauce recipe. According to Mr. Atkins, he learned the process from his Dad who, over the years, had folk coming from all parts of Alabama and from outside the state as well to get the Atkins’s pull pork sandwiches and pork rib slabs. He noted that his Dad started Atkins Barbecue about 70 years ago with a pit dug in the ground.

“We used to sponsor ball games on the grounds and that drew in so many people, all ages. They came to play or watch the games, but they also came for the barbecue. Seems like I could never have enough barbecue for the crowds,” Atkins said.

Mr. Atkins said that his family had been urging him for years to market the family’s sauce. “When I finally agreed to have our family recipe bottled as Uncle Willie’s Sauce, I had no idea it would take off so fast. Now everybody wants my barbecue sauce,” he stated. Uncle Willie’s Original BBQ Sauce can be purchased at the Piggly Wiggly grocery in Eutaw and in all the Piggly Wiggly stores in Tuscaloosa County.
