26 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!“

“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.“

“If you're looking for the local place with good food, this is it! We all enjoyed our meals. Brisket and ribs were fantastic! The kids enjoyed hot dogs. It did take about 20 minutes to get our food. We enjoyed picking out a couple of treasures from the thrift shop while we waited. Will definitely be marking this as a place to return to!“

“Our family got several different meals and shared so we could try lots of things. We unanimously loved it all! Helpful and friendly service. We’ll be back!“

“Regarding barbecue, what you want The Taste is meat and smoke. Smoking meat! This place came through in spades. I ordered the large barbecue sandwich with coleslaw and sweet sauce. It's really two meals...the food that stays on the bun and the food that's left over after the bun disappears. The meat left over covered the plate, no joke! Would eat again and again.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“We had such a delightful meal!

The atmosphere manages to be both relaxing and inviting without feeling stuffy and the charming staff made us feel completely at home. Everything we ordered was impeccably fresh, sizzling hot, and packed with flavor. And best of all, I learned that pairing thin-sliced cha-dol-bak-ee (brisket) with thinly sliced daikon radish and a dab of chimichurri is my new favorite flavor combination. It was so good that my feet got the tippy-taps!

If you are looking to treat yourself to a dining experience that is both sophisticated and deeply comforting, this is the perfect destination.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I tried the Classic Philly cheese steak, with provolone cheese. Fries for a side. The cheese steak was tasty and had plenty of steak, peppers, and onions. I'd definitely order it again. 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.“

“great food..drinks and music“

“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.“

“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!“

“Really great food and fair prices. They are super careful with my husbands gluten allergy and he’s able to eat there safely! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“So glad we gave y’all a try! We had amazing service and the food was absolutely delicious. So glad to have another Brazilian Steakhouse come to Greenville. It’s been toooo long.“

“The wait for a table was a little long but we were served with a great service and excellent food.“
