Poogan’s

Eat & Drink

Best Spots to get BBQ in Charleston!

Thursday, May 28 is National Brisket Day, so what better way to celebrate than sinking your teeth into barbecue at one of these spots? Check each restaurant’s social media for updated dining options.
Warning: this post may cause you to drool.

Rodney Scott’s

The story goes that Rodney cooked his first hog at 11 years old and that the fire has never gone out. This beloved local restaurant has mouth-watering ribs, hushpuppies with honey butter, and Ella’s banana pudding (you’ll want two orders.)

Lewis Barbecue

Recognizable for the giant, custom-made smokers out front, Lewis Barbecue has Texas roots represented by the delicious, 18-hour char on their meats. Try their sausage, brisket, and more.

Poogan’s Smokehouse

Not to be confused with the haunted restaurant Poogan’s Porch, this East Bay location brings the flavors of South Carolina. Try their local black-eyed pea salad or a mouth-watered pulled pork sandwich slathered with cheese.

Melvin’s Legendary Bar-B-Q

The secret’s in the sauce! According to their website, Melvin’s has been “South Carolina’s Original Family of mustard-based BBQ” since 1939. Now 80 years strong, their savory sauce is available in-house and for individual purchase.

Bessinger’s Barbecue

Bessinger’s is known as the legacy of “the first family of bbq” and has been featured on multiple shows on the Travel Channel. Don’t forget to order some of their famous onion rings to go with your brisket!

Home Team BBQ

For this Lowcountry treat, bring an appetite to one of their three Charleston-area locations. For something different try house-made pork cracklins, a smoked turkey burrito, or a brisket taco with chipotle sour cream.

Swig & Swine

Last but not least on our list is Swig & Swine, a popular spot offering beef brisket, smoked turkey, smoked pork belly, housemade sausage, chicken wings, ribs, and more than 60 craft beers.

Featured Image: Hall’s Chophouse

If you ask any Charleston local (or visitor) what their favorite steakhouse is, odds are they’ll say Hall’s Chophouse. With high-end steaks, handcrafted cocktails, and family sides to drool over, we can’t help but agree.

Obviously doing something right in the kitchen, the family-owned restaurant now has four locations, including Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and as of today, Summerville. The new location opened Wednesday, September 18 at 4 p.m. in the Nexton development and is a whopping 6,800 square feet.

TODAY’S THE DAY, Halls Chophouse Nexton is officially open! Bar opens at 4pm, come and see us! #hallschophouse

A post shared by Halls Chophouse Nexton (@hallsnexton) on Sep 18, 2019 at 9:01am PDT

The local favorite is one of many favorited Charleston restaurants to expand to the Nexton development.

Earlier in the year, Taco Boy, opened in the area making it the restaurant’s third location. Other locations include Huger Street downtown and Center Street on Folly Beach.

Soon to follow with their grand opening is Paige’s Okra Grill of Mount Pleasant and Poogan’s Hospitality.

Poogan’s, known for Poogan’s Porch and Poogan’s Smokehouse in the Holy City, will welcome their third location, dubbed Poogan’s Southern Kitchen, to the Nexton development in early 2020 along with Paige’s Okra Grill. And, while you can’t make a reservation to either until 2020, reservations can be made for Hall’s Chophouse Summerville now!
