On the way from Hilton Head Island to Myrtle Beach with a stop in Charleston, I was so happy to…read morediscover this low country eatery. There's actually a restaurant in Hilton Head that serves Lowcountry cuisine, but we didn't get a chance to visit it, so finding this spot was a real treat. We arrived promptly at 11 am, and while the inside was a bit musty at first, the cool air quickly kicked in and made it comfortable. We wanted to try a variety of dishes, my partner and I decided to share some lunch specials. We went with the Homestyle Meatloaf and Fried Pork Chops, both served with two sides and tea. The sides included collard greens, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and corn nuggets. Gosh, I'm still dreaming about that delicious, home-cooked meal! The service, food, and ambiance exceeded my expectations. It's a charming spot that's definitely worth a visit if you're passing through. I'll be dreaming of that meal for a while =) highly recommend giving them a try!

The atmosphere is casual and fun -- perfect for a large group -- and we loved sharing a variety of menu items. Everything was cooked perfectly, served at the ideal temperature, and seasoned beautifully. The Family Platter was a standout, offering a great mix of flavors. The Brisket Blue Salad was outstanding, and the sides we tried -- especially the Brunswick stew and mac and cheese -- were absolutely perfect. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, making it a fantastic spot for a family night out. Highly recommend!

The line was out the door but moved quickly. Once inside, the sign on the wall encourages you to grab a beer from the bar to drink while you wait, which we did - great idea! We got the following to share: brisket, ribs, a hot sausage link, coleslaw and mac & cheese. The flavor of the meat tasted like Jesus himself made it AND blessed it before giving it to me. The texture is so tender that you don't even need teeth to eat it. The meat effortlessly fell off the rib bone as soon as it touched my lips! And those sides!! BEST mac & cheese and coleslaw I've ever had anywhere in my life. The coleslaw had very thin sliced green pepper in it (which I loved) and was also the perfect consistency of not-too-wet and not-too-dry. I don't know if it would be possible to make the mac & cheese any creamier or dreamier than it already is; I could have eaten a bucket of it! I already can't wait to come back here again!! :)

But it's worth the wait. There's also complimentary water available just inside the door, and you can order a beer or drink at the bar to sip on while you wait. Counter staff are courteous and helpful. They even provided an extra bite of brisket for me to munch on while prepping my order. A half-pound of brisket, moist, was my selection, and it needed no sauce at all for the meat and the cooking method stood on their own. All the traditional Texas accoutrements were provided as well (hooray) and I added some creamy macaroni & cheese to finish off my plate. It all came at a reasonable price too, one of the few instances in Charleston where I felt like I was getting my money's worth at a restaurant. There's covered outdoor seating as well as lots of tables, booths and counter options inside, so even as busy as things were I had a surprising number of options on where to dine. The space was kept clean and near by swarming staff members...which leads to my only issue. When I got up to grab another beverage, the quick thinking bussers took away my plate before I was completely done! Aside from that faux pas, I strongly recommend visiting the Lewis operation. Genuine Texas style barbecue experience (including Shiner on draft!) coupled with efficient, welcoming service is a winning combination in my book.

We had smoked wings, half hot teriyaki and half ancho buffalo. So flavorful, loved both. Cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crisp. The pork and beans raw clearly made with love and super meaty. The burger! Oy! Tender meat with heavenly crispy edges, yummy bun, homemade special sauce is bomb, a touch of grilled onion and homemade pickles. One of the best burgers around! So very worth the nice drive over. Excited to work our way through the menu! It was chilly in there so bring a jacket if it's cold out.

OMG, deliciousness!…read more Found the gem on Instagram and had to check it out for myself...they did not disappoint! Ordered the chopped beef to go with crispy tostadas and the fixings and a side of mac n cheese. Everything paired nicely together from crunch, to depth of flavor with a nice sauce.

Staff was busy, friendly, and kept the lunch rush moving. Our main (constructive) feedback would be to 1) add weights and/or amounts to the (big board) pricing menu and 2) present customers with a heads up on the "fixins" that cost extra (e.g., cilantro and fried shell). Our (pictured) tray was $52 without a drink. Had we known that 2 ribs cost $15, we would have quickly pivoted to another meat.

Sausage is ok, and likes the chicken when he is in the mood for it. He hasnt had anything there that he doesnt like. I loved the turkey, baked beans and Mac n cheese. Our Hurricane drink was pretty delicious( with part of the proceeds goes to a charity for that one particular drink). The server was polite and friendly. They smoke and bbq all the meats right out back of the restaurant so the food came out quick, fresh and amazing! I personally loved the Mustard and Sweet Red sauces while my husband prefers the slight heat of the Jalapeño sauce . The recipes for the sauces are hanging up on the walls as part of the decor. The only thing i could knock them for is the bathroms were a little dingy. Not really super dirty, just needs some updating with new tiles and paint. Overall great place and we will definitely will be returning!

However, I feel like we've had better barbecue up north than we did here... We ordered a brisket plate + a pork belly plate to share with mac & cheese, grits and corn pudding. The brisket was dry and flavorless. The pork belly was more fat than meat. Thank goodness for the variety of delicious sauces they provided with our meals! I'm giving two stars for the sides & sauces being pretty good but that's about it. I don't know the area but I'm sure you can find better meats elsewhere :(

Well, I have to say I was blown away. I expected a roadside, forgettable food experience, but nope. This place has food that's so well prepared and clean.

Fully belly, happy tummy, and a bit embarrassed about my judgement before visiting.
