Lewis Barbecue Charleston

By far, it is the best BBQ ever. The Sancho loco is outstanding.
Atmosphere is fun and service fantastic. Highly recommend it.

The food was amazing!

Possibly the best bbq I’ve ever had

This is a absolute BBQ place. It isnt a sit down and chow kind of place. Quiet atmosphere it is not. No this is authentic you're at the cookout BBQ! But it is DELICIOUS! The kids running the front are on top of service. They keep everything filled, know what they are doing and move the line through fast! I cannot recommend the brisket nachos more!

Really really good spot for BBQ. I had the brisket, coastlaw, green chili corn pudding l, and the tallo fried potatoes. First off, I'm really happy to see that there are restaurants making food with beef tallo instead of seed oils! The coastlaw was so fresh, green, and aromatic. It's probably one of the best takes on coastlaw I've had. The brisket was exploding with flavor and wasn't too fatty. The chili and corn pudding was good in execution but I just personally don't really like it that much. Will definitely have to come here again

The best bbq in Charleston!

The sauces alone are a big reason to come back. So many different varieties, and all of them good. There was also some great merch to take home, even the sauces can go with you! Sides are also super solid, the mac & cheese and coleslaw were phenomenal. Can't wait to come back!

DANG THAT'S SOME GOOD BARBECUE!!!! I had their nachos and now I'm addicted, and the sad part? Not the addiction, but that I live in Kentucky. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MORE LEWIS BARBECUE IN KENTUCKY??!!!

Does anyone down there need a paralegal??? Send help...NO. SEND NACHOS.

*EDITED* I moved the Charleston just to have access to Lewis Barbecue. No regrets

Great BBQ! Lewis Barbecue is a great restaurant, a little north of downtown Charleston. The food is delicious, the staff is amazing, and the building is modern and large. Parking can be a little bid difficult, but there's plenty of street parking nearby. Overall, highly recommended!

This restaurant was recommended to me by the locals! Not a fancy place, but they deliver some good BBQ. I was lucky to get in early before the dinner rush hour. There was a line out the door by the time I left.

The brisket here is King. Tender and full of flavor. Just the right amount of moisture. 3 generous slices filled me up.

Everything is sold by weight so don't let your eyes lead you astray. Easy to get yourself overloaded with meats and sides.

I tried the ribs just because you gotta try the ribs at a BBQ place. Good flavor and smoky crust (bark). Maybe not the standout menu item, but I cleaned the bones of all the meat just like a hungry lion.

Not a fan of the cole slaw, simply because it was loaded with pickled red onions which dominated the flavor. Those pickled red onions are also available as a side item, so enough people must really like them. I managed to remove all of the onions from the slaw so it was ultimately edible to me.

There are 3 BBQ sauce choices which were all good. I can't remember the names but I don't recall any of them being better or worse than the other. Sweet, spicy and tangy in a good way.

Lucky for me I'll be visiting Charleston in the Spring and I will definitely be going back to Lewis BBQ for round 2.

First taste of this style of American barbecue and it was fantastic! Brisket and Sausage was amazing. Really can’t say more to top that. Would want to come again if we come around this way again.

Great barbecue food! We waited maybe 10 minutes but the person who took our order was so nice and helpful. Lots of places to sit. It is a must place to eat if visiting Charleston!

The ribs were some of the best I've eaten. The pulled pork sandwich had great flavor and the bun was very soft. I had the Texas hog gut sausage and it was also good. It was a little spicy. I had the potato salad as a side which was good along with banana pudding for dessert.
