7 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Pickens

“EXCELLENT BBQ and smoked wings! Independently owned and very friendly environment. Highly recommend!“

“Great food, and a great representation of taking action for the community in a time of need! 🙏“

“Incredible food and very friendly owners!! While The Parkette is known for its bbq, they also have daily lunch specials that change every day.What reeled me in was their Crawfish & Shrimp Étouffée. It’s definitely a unique offering for this area and so delicious! It has a generous amount of shrimp and crawfish in it, seasoned well, and a subtle amount of heat. I also got potato salad and their roasted veggies (fresh mushrooms ?). Loved all of it!The owner was also super kind to let me try a bite of their ribs, incredibly tender with a lovely smoky flavor.Also, I can never say “no” to banana pudding. Chunks of bananas and full of Nilla wafers… that’s important, ya know!? ?Definitely a hidden Pickens gem that’s worthy of your attention.“

“This is hands down the coolest building in South Carolina. The food and especially the ice cream are delicious. I visit as often as I can 🧡“

“I love the Smokin' Pig in all locations. I'm VERY critical of food and I can't find one tiny thing wrong with this place!!! I even like their potato salad!!! It's nice tohaveso many sides and the staff seems really happy and proud of their work.

Vegetarian options: Lots of sides that can constitute a meal. I'm not a big meat eater so sometimes I save half the meat and pick up a few sides for another meal!“

“We LOVE Little Pigs BBQ!! The meat is delicious, tender & juicy! The sides are always great too, especially the fries! We’ve ordered meat in bulk for parties many times over the years and our guests always rave over how good the meat, sauces & sides are!! Little Pigs will always be our favorite BBQ restaurant!“

“1st timers last Friday. Best original (butter only) potato 🥔 we ever had. We will be back!“
