21 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Travelers Rest

“Best cheese burger made my a really cute guy!“

“Friendly down home service! Awesome and delicious food!“

“We had lunch at the Whistle Stop on Labor Day. The service was welcoming and wonderful! The food was delicious and just what we ordered. We also enjoyed the live music on the rooftop. My husband and I would definitely stop by again when traveling through Travelers Rest, SC.“

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

“Really great brisket and the sides were great, too (green beans and slaw)!“

“This place is one of those Sans Souci staples. Limited menu as far as BBQ goes (no complicated cuts), but they have all the sides and sauces one would expect from a BBQ restaurant. I've always been impressed by the portion sizes -- you won't leave hungry!“

“Best smoked wings I’ve ever had! My son had their pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese, and he said it was very good as well. The service is very fast. Way faster than I would have thought given that they were pretty busy when we showed up. I definitely recommend and I will be back.“

“I am pretty picky when it comes to bbq because I was raised on it, so finding this place that felt like REAL SC bbq was like tasting a little bit of home again. I like hash even more than bbq so seeing it on the menu just made my day. All the meat was such good quality that you almost don’t need the sauce (even though the mustard is VERY good) because it tastes great on its own.

The staff is welcoming, patient, and helpful. Since it was my first time, I had a few questions and the lady who took my order was friendly and polite answering them and even made a few suggestions to help us out!

There is limited seating inside, but loads outside under a covered sort of gazebo/pergola type thing. The menu is easy to order from and yet still has plenty of options to choose from. The portions are huge and the prices are fair. You get loads of food without having to save up just to get lunch out. This is a traditional, down to earth bbq place, but the quality just elevates far over any of those newfangled chain places popping up. Forget them, remember what good food is really like.“

“The best BBQ in Greenville/South Carolina. Amazing atmosphere and service. The BBQ is elite. From the Turkey to the brisket, it’s my favorite. My kids love the tater tots and wings. This is our favorite spot for family dinner, hands down.“

“I ordered pork and collard greens for a work meeting of 30 people. It was all perfect! The meat was moist and the collard greens were delicious. We even had leftovers! I was a little nervous...but it did not disappoint! Thank You! Def be back!“

“I have come here twice now and the food is exceptional! I also like the old fashioned family atmosphere. The prices are on par for other places that serve the same thing but these portion sizes are plenty! They have 6 bbq sauces to choose from so no matter what your taste is in BBQ they can meet your preferences. I really like the sweet potato crunch, green beans, and Mac and cheese but I haven't had any other sides. I'm sure they are great as well! Try it out. It's very close to the Greenville Memorial (GHS) so you should have no problem finding it. Do be fooled by it's simple exterior. Inside you'll find tastey treasures!“

“Picked Mac's at random since we are not familiar with the area. We knew it was going to be good when several people passing us by on the sidewalk told us how good the food was. The place is huge but has a very intimate feel to it. I can only imagine what the crowds will be like during football season!

Our server was friendly, efficient, but not pushy. He humored me and my little quirks with the food without belittling me. The food was hot and we did not have to flag him down for anything.

I ordered the Crispy Cornmeal Shrimp and my son ordered the Smokehouse dip. The hush puppies (our starters) were delicious and endless. My son kept talking about how soft the bread on his sandwich was and how it all melted together after dipping it in the sauce. He couldn't say enough good things about it which says a lot because he is extremely picky about his sandwiches. My shrimp was also delicious. As one of my sides, I got the garlic parm mashed potatoes and they were to die for!! I could go back and order those as a meal by themselves.

I highly recommend this place! It has been added to the top of our list of places to go when we are in the area.“

“the dining experience at this establishment was truly delightful. I indulged in the delectable short ribs paired with a flavorful beef soup and fragrant white rice, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. also, the ambiance of the restaurant this year was simply exquisite!!!“

“This local pub / restaurant is incredible! The staff is outstanding! The founder, Lia (spelling?) is so wonderful! You can tell she loves her business and her guests. Great food! Cool atmosphere. Fun games! Highly recommend!“

“Thomas has been our server a few times now at LongHorn, and we always enjoy seeing him. He’s friendly, attentive, and has a kind way about him that makes the dining experience feel welcoming and relaxed. He checks in just enough to make sure we have everything we need, and it’s clear he cares about his guests. We really appreciate the consistent, thoughtful service. Thank you, Thomas, we look forward to seeing you again!“

“I have been dining at The Big Clock for 18 years and it is the most consistently good restaurant around. The wait staff is always friendly and professional, the food is always top notch, and the owners are the nicest most hard working folks you will ever meet.“

“Best brisket this side of Austin. And then throw some of that homestyle Mac with it. Cold beer, great people supporting the local PC/Taylors community, and the best desserts.“

“The food is always hot and delicious and the staff is always friendly. The prices are phenomenal, too. I have never spent over $10 for a complete meal including a drink. I just have one question.. Why do you have hushpuppies and no fish as well as hot dogs and no saurkraut? Not a complaint, just an observation.“

“Have used Smokin Chips a couple of times. Never disappoints! Best BBQ in town! Delicious! Highly recommend!“

“Maybe I've spoiled myself with frequent trips to Ruth's Chris, Halls, !and Justin's, but my most recent trip to Longhorn in Easley wasn't the best experience. To no fault of her own, the bartender was stretched thin with no help. We had to wait for everything, but so did everyone who sat in the bar area. The Ribeye I had was seasoned perfectly, but not cooked to order (medium). The steamed broccoli wasn't steamed, more like it came straight from the garden. I've had better experiences, this review was based off my most recent visit. I'd still give it another shot.“

“great food..drinks and music“
