Need advice from Upstate locals

Minor catastrophe...we are cooking barbecue for supper, and my wife left the Brunswick stew at home in Summerville (we are at Table Rock). Who has the best Brunswick stew or hash and rice in Clemson/Pickens area? Bonus points if they also have excellent slaw.
TIA! Go Tigers!

Smoking Pig
Agree Smokin’ Pig for Brunswick Stew but don’t believe they offer hash. Upstate hash, when you can find it is totally different from low country hash. Southside Smokehouse and Grill has good Upstate hash, which is the type I prefer, but not worth the drive from where you are.

Southside Smokehouse and Grill is in Landrum, so 35-40 miles from you.

Why are you ruining good barbecue with Brunswick stew? You ain’t from Georgia or the midlands of South Carolina you’re from Summerville . You’re in the Lowcountry. You should have hash and rice son! And if you live in Summerville you’re right down the road from the best hash made! Winningham‘s in Ridgeville. I am a hash connoisseur, a hash aficionado, and I can tell you without a doubt Winningham‘s has the absolute best hash money can buy! They sell it by the gallon and whenever we barbecue we cook a big pot of rice and get our hash from Winningham‘s!!!
Second would be Sweatman’s in Holly Hill.
If I had to paint myself in a corner and pick a third it would be Dukes out of Orangeburg. Dukes in Elloree is the same, but not Dukes in the lowcountry (Walterboro & James Island) they are distant cousins but their BBQ is not as good and the hash isn’t even close!
When it comes to hash it’s Winningham‘s or Sweatman‘s hands-down!
Brunswick stew? Man you’re losing your barbecue card for that!

I was raised on Dukes in Orangeburg, so I don’t need any lectures on the merits of hash and rice. Strongly prefer it, but Swig & Swine has awesome Brunswick stew, and that is what we had in the freezer. Hash and rice doesn’t make it to the freezer...it gets eaten.
And as you can see, I tried to sneak hash and rice back into the conversation this morning, but all that is available here is Brunswick stew. Didn’t mean to run afoul of the ‘cue police.

OK, you redeemed yourself with that post! LOL!
I grew up in St. George and my mom grew up on a farm just outside of Orangeburg on Highway 21. She graduated from Orangeburg high and we have had a house in Eutawville on the lake since 1982 but my family has been Hunting, camping, and fishing on Lake Marion since my dad was a kid! So I have Dukes and Sweatman‘s BBQ in my blood!
I live on James Island now and have lived in various parts of Charleston pretty much since I graduated from Clemson in the 80s minus a few years in Columbia and about five years in Southwest Florida. Charlston has seen a BBQ explosion over the past 10 years.
I really like swig ‘n swine and part of their ownership and management group is a Clemson family.
Have you been to Lewis BBQ downtown off of Morrison Drive?
It is exceptional! He got his start in Texas with Franklin, who is considered to be the top dog right now down in Texas and his place in Austin sells out within a few hours. People start lining up at 6 in the morning waiting for them to open and they usually sell out before the end of the line gets to the counter. Louis got his start with Franklin, they got started together, and after running a few other places in the Austin area he moved to Charleston.
