Need help with BBQ place in Charleston
Mar 14, 2015, 9:30 AM
|

Advice wanted:
I have a customer that is coming into Charleston from San Diego CA for meetings and he wants some southern style pulled pork BBQ. I've told him about the low-country style vinegar based sauce and he would like to try that. Any recommendations on who has the best que and sauce in the Charleston area?
Thanks.

Melvin's on Folly Road on James Island is good. However, their sauce in mustard based. Bessinger's on Savannah Hwy. is another option. I believe they also have a mustard based sauce. Vinager sauce is North Carolina style.

Swig & Swine...spot on! I grew up on Bessinger's (Piggie Park before that) and Duke's...but S&W is really, really solid! They also on 82 Queen, which is the opposite end of the restaurant spectrum, around for over 30 years. Clearly, they know their 'stuff' in the kitchen and on the smoker!

Bessinger's is awful.

The BBQ in Charlestonn isn't that great, but there are some half way decent places. Home Team BBQ is much better than Bessingers and it's a better place to hangout as well. It's on 61 in West Ashley about a mile from downtown CHS. Nicks downtown on Kind Street is okay as well. It was formerly called Jim and Nicks. I would probably go to home Team BBQ.

Hometeam or JB's Smokeshack
Mar 14, 2015, 1:12 PM

I'll add my vote to the recommendations for Hometeam. JB's Smokeshack on John's Island is also good. Their pulled pork is cooked dry. I like the crispy pieces that come with cooking it the way they do and they have a sauce you should try called "Upstate Vinegar."

It's just called Nicks now.

Just in case the person who started the thread can't find them listed due to that. Yeah it's just called Nick's now and no longer Jim and Nicks. I agree with you that it is fairly solid, especially if the original poster is staying downtown.

I prefer the one in North Charleston. They bake all the bread there locally, and ship it to the one downtown. And you can park there too!
