New favorite BBQ in Charleston . Place smells like BBQ heaven. You’ll start salivating immediately. Had the brisket sandwich . It was simply the best brisket I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back!

Chelsea Balkan

#FabuLIST #DubiDO must try the brisket , ribs , and pulled pork . Great atmosphere with both outdoor and indoor seating, live music , tv screens to watch football , and corn hole .

Peter Boyce

Saturday short ribs are best on earth.... ; hot guts ; turkey ; brisket ; beer selection ; great butchers

Steven C

Recommend: Fatty Brisket is melt in mouth tender. Giant Beef Ribs is flavorful and each rib is easily enough for 2 people (over 1 lb per rib ). Also try the Corn Pudding , Mac & Cheese , Collard Greens .

Corley Stone

Line was long but WORTH IT! Grab a beer from the bar while you wait. Brisket was the best (melt in your mouth). My southern grandma would approve of the collards . Loved the ribs , pork , & sausage !

V l Smith

Chopped brisket , pulled pork , greens, beans, potato salad and my favorite side, green chili corn pudding . Staff is friendly and funny. I highly recommend Lewis BBQ. Clean , fun environment.

Anthony Schena

Loved it all. Michelle said the whole thing was orgasmic. We all liked (not love) the coleslaw a lot. Fries were good. Michelle thought they should be dipped .

Rosanna Lapham

Best Texas Barbeque in the Carolinas. And great atmosphere. Loved eating outside under the tree . Thanks for bringing this place to Charleston!

Chris Pfeffer

We got the sliced fatty beef brisket and the pork ribs . Being from Boston, this was our first real taste of BBQ and it was amazing!

Lee Hoffman

The best bbq I’ve ever had hands down. The best extra lean brisket , French fries , collard greens - everything amazing

James

Pitmaster and founder John Lewis is fervently dedicated to crafting the best bbq from welding his own custom-designed smokers to waking up at 4am to tend the fire. He takes his meat seriously.

Daniel Howell

The brisket was to die for. Same for the huge beef rib . Creamiest Mac and cheese and tasty collard greens . I was so happy.

Anna Hider

All of the sides are worth it, especially the potato salad and corn pudding . They might be out of some meats at dinner . And get the pickles and onions !

Ash z

The brisket practically melts in your mouth. I couldn't get enough. Make sure to ask for extra BBQ sauce .

Next time I’ll try the ribs , the BBQ sandwich was of the vinegar type and was good if you like that style. The sides were delicious too.

Shawn F

Best collard greens ever! Excellent brisket . Insane spare ribs . Great atmosphere. Good draft list .

Had the pulled pork , brisket , sausage , and turkey - all are great! Turkey might be best I’ve had anywhere!

Absolutely amazing BBQ . Get the sliced fatty brisket . Great staff and draft selection to boot!

Frank Dombrowski

Everything on the Menu. The meats are very tender, cut with fork easily, and the side are fantastic.

James

After receiving a New Braunfels smoker as a bday gift , Lewis was soon taking liberties with the design and construction , of his smokers, in an attempt to yield a better result.

The whole time we were there the wife and I kept saying we should've went to Swig & Swine. Everything was salty and pricey . Hell they don't even have any BBQ sauces . There is better BBQ in Charleston !
