“The best barbecue in Charleston”

Lewis Barbecue Charleston

Certificate of Excellence
Restaurant details
Reviewed 1 August 2024 via mobile

Stopped by here with several business associates and we were all impressed. The brisket was out of this world - it just melts in your mouth. Colleagues had a number of other options including pulled pork and sausage, but I swear by the brisket.

This place is out of the way, and you may have to wait in line, but trust me it is worth it! Excellent BBQ, quick service once you order. Great for families. We did wait for a while, but it was worth every minute.

The pulled pork sandwich, sausage and brisket are all excellent. The potato salad and cole slaw were both great sides. The wait at lunch can be long but is worth the wait. Seating is available inside and outside.

Amazing service and even better food! You stand in line to order cafeteria style/ deli style. The atmosphere was clean, fun and diverse with indoor and outdoor seating. You can leave through side door and actually see a grill! The food was delicious!!!

Absolutely delicious! We enjoyed our meal (brisket, sausage, mac n cheese, collards). I would definitely go again the next time we are in town.
