After 30 years, Willard's Bar-B-Q Junction will close in Jacksonville's Lakeshore neighborhood.

Jimmy Willard plans to slice one final piece of brisket at 2 p.m. Friday.

His wife, Renee, then will likely add a double helping of cabbage and a piece of garlic bread to complete the plate.

It will be the last meal served at Willard's Bar-B-Q Junction by the couple who founded the restaurant.
