This was my first time going here. The food was very good. I ordered the chicken strips, mac and cheese, and fries. The service was also very good. The food came out quickly. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

First time to Martin's... nice place. We went to catch Cotton Blue blues band. Food was good we had the ribs and brisket combo with house chips and Cole slaw. Very attentive service. They all work together as a team! Great job! Thanks for hosting the band.

This was with out a doubt hands-down the absolute best brisket I’ve ever had. The first time I’ve eaten brisket with out any sauce. I was sleeping in my car and woke up to the smell of bbq. So I had to check it out and I’m glad I did! If you are in question, try it.

Hannah. Chef Mac and the Catering crew serve up some mean BBQ and it tastes as good as it looks in the photos. Freshly sliced and juicy. A crowd pleaser every time! When in the Charleston area, stop by their restaurant or have them come to your catered event! Wow!!!

If you're looking for some bomb BBQ, look no further. We ordered ribs and brisket with a side of fries and house chips. The brisket was 10/10! Juicy and tender and full of flavor. Their sauces are also amazing. I've been to Joe's, Q39, etc. In KC, and this is right up there. It'd be perfect if they had burnt ends. Service was fast and friendly. The place was clean and has both indoor and outdoor seating available.

Sooooo, let me just tell you this is the absolute best freaking BBQ place we have EVER eaten at. First of all, I read the reviews saying the servers don’t come back to fill up drinks…. And that’s not a thing. You literally order at the bar or the front and they bring you drinks and your food…. If you want more you just have to walk up and order more to drink. Super quick service. Very friendly staff. Best brisket my husband has ever had and that’s sayin something. If you’re ordering the half rack…. Trust me it will be plenty. Especially with the two sides. And the sides… Jesus the sides are amazing! Collectively, we had the Mac and cheese, hush puppies, broccoli salad and baked beans and literally everything was on point!! I do wish we lived closer! This was an amazing treat and I am so happy we stopped. Thank you for the amazing food and the awesome atmosphere!

If you are looking for the best BBQ, this is the right place! We loved the food and the service. Both pulled pork, brisket, and fish were delicious. Fish was very fresh. The pork was super moist. This is a big place too with the inside diner and outside bar&tables. The only minus - it was hard to find the entrance to the place but overall good and service experience made it to a solid 5 stars!

Stopped here on my way home from Follybeach and loved the food! They have a outside area that is pet friendly and all the food I tried was amazing! We had brisket and pork. Sides of potato salad , macaroni , fries. Definitely making this a stop on my trip again. Good service as well!

Great laid back space with indoor and outdoor seating. Music, bar area, greenery and vibrancy. Food is great - several vinegar based sauces and the dry rub is tasty! A can't miss spot.

Some of the best BBQ I have had. Brisket was a tad fatty for my taste but the ribs and wings were amazing. Hoecake and Mac and cheese was good and solid beer options. Wish they had a spicier hot sauce but the Alabama white sauce and vinegar BBQ were excellent. Solid live music as well and loved the indoor and outdoor seating options. Finally if you skip the broccoli salad you are missing out!
