I'm not a person who loves bbq or feels like I've gotta eat a lot of meat. Except when it comes to Lewis Barbecue. I think about this place all year long, and then MUST eat here on our annual trip. I love that you just decide how much you want and they put it all on one tray, so fun for eating with a group or just yourself. Everything is top notch, cooked perfectly, tastes amazing. Very fun atmosphere.
This is the best BBQ experience I've had at a restaurant. The BBQ and sides were both excellent. The ribs were pretty much perfect. The atmosphere is great. The iced tea was good, the cocktails were good, it is a great restaurant that is doing it all right! I'm glad our Uber driver recommended we try it.
Great vibe!! Awesome food. The certified BBQ judge in me found tremendous meat, phenomenal smoke flavor, very unique sauces, and wonderful sides. This is a must try when you're in Charleston. Oh, brisket queso is amazing. The three meat sandwich amazing. Sauce variety is unique and incredible, including a Green Chile BBQ Sauce that is the most perfectly unique sauce I have ever had. They trim their briskets for even predictable cooking and use the trimmed brisket to make in their fresh ground sausage links that are also then smoked to perfection! Following my meal, I asked for a pit tour, and the wonderful general manager took us back to their very unique and extremely impressive smokehouse and showed me how they can move so much perfectly smoked food in a day, and keep a perfectly consistent food quality. Their staffing, training and techniques are very unique and they know how to run a very customer and consumer oriented business.
