Pleasantly surprised. Nice more relaxed atmosphere in Charleston. The sauces and prices are great for the area.if you’re looking to try Carolina gold mustard sauce this place does it right. I lived in Memphis for 4 years and their Memphis style sauce is pretty spot...on. The smell is great just walking past it so go ahead and pop on in!More

Perhaps this place was great at some point in the past - but it is no more. Beer tap was not working, they were out of wine, half the beers on the menu were “out of stock” Apparently they we’re having g some management issues....We had wings and ribs. Both were very salty and very disappointing. We had had lunch earlier in the day at Home Team BBQ on Sullivan Island it was fantastic. So we went looking for more BBQ and followed the trip advisor recommendations to this place. They could have got it more wrong. Plenty of better places for BBQ in Charleston. Lewis BBQ Home Team BBQ Swig & Swine Try ‘em all and compare for yourself.More

Truly disappointed after seeing their rating on TA. We made a takeout order and when I got to the restaurant the employees looked like they were arguing, the bar and kitchen area had not been cleaned recently. Empty glassed and beer bottles from one side...of the bar to the other side. The food was not good at all, my boneless wings were seasoned way too much to the point I threw them in the trash. Very disappointed and I will never go backMore

We did take out for pulled pork and a 1/2 slab of ribs. Took it back to our hotel and feasted. The waitress included extra of their three sauces and we liked all three. The meat warmed nicely. Excellent BBQ! We also liked the cole...slaw side. We will put them on the list next time we are in town.More

Terrible! Don’t eat here. Service was awful. Tiny portions and big prices. Ribs almost inedible. Max and cheese was dehydrated and had no flavor. Don’t waste your money eating here. Our first clue about how bad it was, was that the restaurant was empty for...lunch at 1pm.More

Found this by mistake next to the Customs House. And it was a pleasant surprise. Not as polished as most eat spots in the area, But it has a real down home BBQ joint feel. And the food is great! Good smoke and very tasteful...sauces. Authentic SC BBQ! Outdoor dining!More

My wife and I walked in about 8pm on a Wednesday evening. The place was very quiet with just a few patrons. They have indoor and outdoor dining. We opted to take a seat at the bar, which is indoors. This place is nothing fancy....It reminds me of some of the local pubs I visit at home, where the food and drinks are good and reasonably priced. And that’s exactly what we found. Our bartender/server was cordial and friendly. We ordered brisket sliders and pulled pork sandwiches along with 2 mixed drinks, which as I stated earlier were good. We also ordered the peach cobbler, which both of us really didn’t care for, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Everything was brought out in a timely manner and by 9pm we were done and headed back to our lodging for the night. Would we ever go back if the opportunity arose? The answer is Yes.More

We ate here on our food tour but also went back as they had great wings and bloody mary’s. Just a short walk from the market down toward the water. Definitely would go again when we get down there net time.
