28 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Greenville

“Staff was very friendly and courteous. Food was off the chain!“

“Visiting Greenville for one night and needed a place to eat that we could walk from the hotel. After seeing reviews and asking about SBH BBQ, we went for dinner and were not disappointed. The Sweaty Pig sandwich was delicious and very filling. The chicken nachos had tons of toppings and were very flavorful. We also tried the briscuit/Mac n cheese egg roll and the sweet potato crunch. Again, delicious. April, our server, and Brock, the manager, were friendly and fun to talk to. From the time we walked in the door, we felt very welcome. If you get the chance to visit SBH, don’t miss out!“

“This was the best brisket, baked beans, & macaroni I’ve ever had in my lifeeeeee! I can’t wait to get another plate. That brisket was so tender and seasoned! I can still taste it. I will be coming back soon. Thank you so much for this delicious, unforgettable meal.“

“I did a bbq tour with Greenville History Tours and this was one of the stops. You can tell all the food is made with absolute love. Everything was so good, flavorful and cooked just right. They have been around for decades and it clearly shows in the quality of their food.“

“when you first walk in the door, you're greeted with the aroma of real smoked bbq. The atmosphere is simple, yet inviting. The sounds of the cleavers hitting the cutting board lets you know you're in the right place. The staff are very helpful and friendly. And the food. The BBQ is perfectly tender with the right amount of bark mixed in. I got the potato salad and baked beans, which were very flavorful. If you're looking for the best, look no further than here. Mr. Preston is doing it right.“

“No matter what you get here it’s great. I get the smoked wing plate with extra sides and it’s excellent every time. The baked beans are really good too. Fried ribs are definitely worth having. The nachos are really tasty too. Great place to eat and there’s usually doggies in the outdoor eating area which is really cool, love the dogs and Moe’s.“

“Like a previous reviewer, we had driven by several times and never stopped. We were looking for takeout tonight and decided to give Smoky Dreams a try. We were not disappointed! Everything was delicious and just the way we would like it. We had the brisket, sweet potato casserole, and coleslaw, all of which were yummy. Even the iced tea was perfect . We will definitely be going back. Miles was especially helpful.“

“We hired The Barrel to cater our wedding reception which was half American guests and half Colombian or other Latino. I am so completely impressed with not just the food but the service. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and professionalism were next level. We HIGHLY recommend this company for any event that you want hearty, filling, flavorful food for your guests!!“

“They not only have great BBQ, Wonderful Potato Salad, and delicous ice tea but also are generous and civic minded. They just gave our service organization, Greer Relief, a discount on food for feeding our VITA volunteers. Shout out to Charlie's. I know I'll be getting all my BBQ from them .“

“The pulled chicken sandwich with the Alabama white sauce has a good smoke with a great taste, but was still tender and juicy and not dried out. The pulled pork sandwich with the original sauce also had a good smoke, but was still tender and juicy, that paired with the delicious corn pudding, baked beans with brisket, Fried okra that I like to dip in the Alabama white sauce, and for dessert I had the fantastic banana pudding.“

“Stopped for lunch on a week day and had a great experience. Inside was full so we sat at a picnic table outside. They are shaded enough and there’s plenty of them. Food was great, service was quick, and employees were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back when we’re in the area!“

“Has the best BBQ around and had no idea.I grew up down the street coming here over 50yrs ago but thought it was closed. Got some twice already and love everything they have! Best BBQ! Best slaw and baked beans! And their sauces are to die for! Be back for the 4th for sure!“

There's plenty of seating as it's part of a food hall establishment. Along with a burger place and tap room. Outside seating available too.“

“man listen. cook out has yet to disappoint when I need an "elevated" eat. those chicken and beef quesadillas🔥the onion rings🔥the milkshakes I am beside myself right now 😜“

“We celebrated my friend’s birthday! It was very nice..“

“I had an amazing experience at Texas de Brazil. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt elegant and welcoming, perfect for a special night out. The service inside the restaurant was exceptional—attentive, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The continuous tableside service of perfectly cooked meats was impressive, with a great variety and rich flavors in every cut. The salad bar was beautifully presented, fresh, and offered plenty of high-quality options. One thing that could be improved was the experience at the front desk. The hostess seemed a bit impatient, especially with children. We asked for a high chair and were told there weren’t any available, but later noticed that there actually were. That part felt a little dismissive and could have been handled better. Overall, everything else was well-organized, and the experience still felt upscale and worth it. I would recommend it for date nights or special occasions, and I would definitely return.“
