Lewis Barbecue Charleston

We did a whole barbecue platter, and it was absolutely delicious. From the tender meats to the delicious sides. There were a lot of options to choose from. Typical Texas style line, where you are staying in line and get up to the butcher and he cuts the meats in front of you. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend you go if you’re in Charleston and take a plate home with you!

First, the staff went above and beyond all expectations. They were kind and helpful in anyway they could and unexpected ways. The lady behind the counter handed me a sample of meat to try and it was amazing. I grabbed the brisket sandwich with fries and Mac n cheese. It was delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful. I can't wait to tell others and visit again.

This place is probably my favorite BBQ spot I’ve been to in a long time. First time buyer and everything was just great. The servers were awesome and nice, the meat was super tasty. I especially liked the pulled pork. I can easily say that was my favorite part of the whole meal. I decided to try a little bit of everything and was not disappointed. I will definitely be back!

Lewis BBQ is one of the best BBQ places in Charleston, South Carolina! It’s Texas inspired bbq! We ordered the brisket (sliced), pulled pork, ribs, and the day we went they had a special of a giant rib! I highly recommend all 4! Service here was incredible, everyone was super friendly, explained to you how to order (you can customize how much meat you want), and we got the food fast! Their sweet tea is FIRE! The Mac & cheese was delicious! Banana pudding is my favorite dessert and I LOVED the overall experience! Highly recommend! 10/10 would recommend!

We had such a great experience at Lewis, Barbecue in Charleston, SC. They open at 11AM and we got there a few minutes later and only had to wait about 20 minutes. The line was super quick and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. They had so many good things, we didn’t even know what to order. We end up getting almost everything. We got brisket, half fat, half lean. We got one each of the sausages that we’re both out of this universe. We also got mac & cheese, potato salad, the corn pudding, coleslaw and the beans. Everything was so delicious and well prepared and seasoned. The special was the chicken fried steak and we all shared that and it was also mouthwatering. It was cooked perfectly and had the best sauce. It came with mashed potatoes and two sides. They also had a really great bar with specialty drinks that were well priced. They also had a great beer selection as well. Cannot wait to go back and have it again!!

Southern BBQ joint, pretty classic as you go up and order the meats you want, then head to the sides, and grab your drinks. They have bar for more than just canned beer, lots of seating inside and out, and a back smokehouse that is constantly busy. The moist brisket here is excellent although heavy and rich even with the bread, I would recommend getting around a quarter pound of that per person. The dry brisket that they give you If you don't specify is also good but a single slice does more than enough to help balance the rich moist brisket. Free onions, red onions and pickles that are spicy, and plenty of barbecue sauce in large tubs that run freely as coffee containers allow. The fries are an interesting large cut, and the pulled pork isn't bad. Spicy sausage didn't suit me but other people like it. The special of the day was pastrami but that sandwich had sold out by 11:00 a.m... interesting to see what their prime rib special yesterday would have been, sad I missed that.
