The food was spectacular. Ribs with the perfect rub and sauce, that fell off the bone. Our party picked a couple different sides and the Sweet potato casserole, potato salad and seasonal greens were all delicious. Extra points for how hot the sides were. Great service as well. Highly recommend. read more

While searching for a quick place for lunch, my boyfriend took me here to try bbq in South Carolina for the first time. We were greeted by a kind man that was incredibly helpful in aiding us to pick the most delicious items on the menu. My boyfriend and I split the pulled pork and the bbq sandwich. The barbecue was great but the thing I loved the most ended up being the sweet potato casserole. The brunswick stew and mac and cheese were also great but the sweet potato casserole had me drooling at the thought of it the entire night. read more

This is the place to eat!!!! The owner took our order and was extremely kind. We loved all of our food! My husband tried to pick up the ribs to hand me some and the meat just slid right off!! We'd go here everyday if we didn't live across the country. Thank you so much for the great food! read more

Excellent BBQ house. Was not looking for anything particular, but strolling the streets of Bluffton and came on this establishment. We were extremely pleased with the quality, quantity and cost of the food and the laidback ambiance. My wife and I shared a pulled pork platter with cornbread, mac and cheese, and fries. Plenty for the two of us (even though I am an eater). Excellent choice on a beautiful fall day as they have outdoor seating as well. read more

A simple BBQ spot for a quick meal. Pulled Pork and a Pickle was an ample supply of meat with a dill slice. 3 Rib Teaser was just that. Ribs were smoked so long they weren't just fall off the bone tender, even the thin bones were soft enough to eat. read more

Wow! Great BBQ. Best collard greens I've ever had. And the chicken is a must. Super nice owners too!

A quaint little restaurant in Olde Town Bluffton. The bbq was excellent. We tried the pulled pork and the chicken. Both were tender with lots of flavor. The Brunswick Stew and the Sweet Potato Casserole sides deserve special recognition!!! The owner took our order and also delivered the food. He was very attentive and checked on us frequently. The inside seating is on the small side but there is a patio for overflow or al fresco dining. We're visiting the area and think this place is a little gem! read more

Came here while on a stay in nearby Hilton Head. Ordered the half rack a ribs, some pulled pork, cornbread, and Mac and cheese. The ribs were mouth watering and delicious. The flavors were boasting from this tack and I couldn't wait for my next piece. I was a little disappointed that the pulled pork, although cooked perfectly, had no taste to them. Had to drown in bbq sauce for taste. The cornbread was light and tasty and the Mac and cheese was good. I can't say enough about the customer attention because they were awesome. Don't know if this is a regular thing or because it was close to closing but the free mini coronas topped off my meal. Thank you. Place is small but held our group of 11 people. Nice mom and pop bbq. read more

Great food and great atmosphere! The ribs and pork were yummy. The sweet potatos were also very good!

Bluffton BBQ is one of our favorite barbecue restaurants. We live in Tampa Florida and discovered it years ago during a stop leaving Hilton Head. Now whenever we drive up the East Coast - upon our return south, we time it to be able to pick up carry out at Bluffton barbecue and stay at a friend's local house. Recently, we called ahead for 2 pulled pork sandwiches that we would pick up literally as the restaurant was closing. Staff was amazing and held our sandwiches until I knocked on the door - even though they were sold out of most of their other barbecue items. This is a true gem and worth a stop! read more

Ribs were very meaty and tender but my daughter and i didn't like the sauce. It was spicy but lacked a depth of flavor. Sauce for us is a big deal with bbq. Cornbread was really good. The people there were super nice and helpful. And the blues music being played was great . read more

Really good bbq and a great old school vibe. Conservative friendly . Only open Wednesday-Saturday. Do not miss this! read more

I've been coming to Bluffton BBQ since 2017, and we are here yesterday with friends so it's time for a Yelp Review!! I was blessed to live in the Low Country from 2012-2020 and throughout all that time, Bluffton BBQ has to be my favorite BBQ joint. Located in beautiful Old Town Bluffton, they've been around for a few years and are always at the top of their game. I recommend making a day out of visiting this area and having your lunch or dinner here. There's a lot to do in this little coastal town! The menu hits all the right notes, with pulled pork, ribs, whole or half chickens, and a lot more. Their sides include Mac n cheese, collard greens, potato salad, and the best French fries on the planet. There are more options as well but you get the idea. Oh, their sweet tea is just right, but I think that's just a personal opinion, as everyone likes it different. The owners and staff are always nice to you, and your food always comes out promptly. Their outdoor patio is full of greenery and shade, making for a very pleasant experience. Come on over to Old Town Bluffton. Park your car and spend the day. But if you do, make it a point to get some of this amazing BBQ! read more

Bluffton BBQ - On the patio with one of my rookie firefighters, who is all grown up now lol - Barbeque Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

The smell from a block away should be all the enticement you need to enter. Nothing like that charred/smoked meat smell to get your juices flowing. It's a small place with big flavors. A wall filled with celebrity photos and endorsements isn't necessarily assurance that the food justifies it. But in this case, yeah, it does. If you can't trust Rudy Giuliani when it comes to BBQ, who can you trust? (Don't answer that). We both got the half rack and 2 sides. If you like your ribs fall of the bone tender (I do), these are right up your alley. Seasoned perfectly with a side of sauce, these babies were delightful. Collard greens and potato salad were my choices and both were things I could eat far more of! My wife had the Mac and cheese and loved it. Can't wait to try some of their other items. Deducting one star because I really wanted brisket and it wasn't on the menu. But if you want ribs, this is the place. read more

Bluffton BBQ - Half rack. Fall off the bone delightful! - Barbeque Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

One of the most enjoyable restaurant experiences I've ever had. When you first walk in, it's immediately clear where negative reviews come from. Between various hand written signs and scraps of paper insulting food items/people they don't care for in colorful language and the gritty decor, this current generation is bound to get offended. It's kind of a shock to the system in an area where so many places try so hard not to offend anyone, and if that's not something your ok with, I'd imagine regardless of food you'd write a poor review. Here's the deal though, this food is something else. We sat down after ordering 2 plates of pulled pork with various sides, at a weathered plastic table cloth table, wondering if we made a huge mistake. Looking around, you'd be mistaken for thinking Ted, the Owner/Pitmaster doesn't care about you. So we were happily surprised when Ted came out to see how we enjoyed the food shortly after we started eating. It was easily the best pulled pork I've had anywhere. Multiple reviewers stated fries were top notch, they were. Coleslaw, Mac and cheese, you name it, it was handled equally well. So once we shared this with Ted, he quickly said "give me a minute, I'm gonna bring you a little tease of my ribs...if you like that pork, well, then my ribs are gonna piss you off". Although I was hardly confident I would react that way, once I got a bite of the ribs, I was in fact upset I didn't order them. I swear, I nearly glanced at the ribs and they fell off the bone. Ted wasn't satisfied though, because even after my enthusiastic reaction to the ribs, he insisted on bringing me some of his sweet potato side since I hadn't ordered it and once again, served only to frustrate me that I didn't order it to start with. All in all, Ted and his wife Donna, showed us they love good food, and they love to share it with others. By the time we threw our garbage away, careful not to throw the trays away (since there was a handwritten note above the can referring to customers who did this as a "dumb___") our stomachs were filled, and we met a couple who love what they do. I'll be back, that's for sure. read more

The boyfriend and I came across Bluffton BBQ while we were driving through some small towns in South Carolina. If you're in the Carolinas, eating barbecue is a MUST, so we opted to try out Bluffton BBQ. This barbecue joint is honest from the start - they are not a restaurant; they are a barbecue joint. Popular food items tend to sell out quickly and the counter service adds to the casual ambiance that's peppered with snarky and sarcastic pictures and phrases. The interior was clean with wood and metal furniture and decor. However, the stools were pretty uncomfortable, but again - they are NOT a restaurant. My boyfriend and I split the Farmer Basturd platter so that we could sample the pulled pork, ribs and chicken with our chosen sides - seasoned fries and homemade coleslaw. It was a lot of food for a good price, but I wasn't too impressed with the taste. It was okay, but I wasn't wowed and had to add barbecue sauce to enhance the taste. It tasted like typical barbecue that I come across in my home state of Florida. My favorite meat was the chicken and my boyfriend's were the ribs, but he wasn't wowed either. However, the locals really love this place and they probably have a better barbecue pallet than I do, so I'd recommend giving this place a try. read more

Visiting my folks here in Bluffton and had a hankering for some BBQ... Bluffton BBQ did not disappoint- the Ribs fell right off the bone and we're amazing! Loved the fact the ribs were not slathered in sauce. We picked up to go and on our way out... we got a sincere "Thanks for stopping... enjoy from the back of the house !! read more

The ribs were good. However, the service on the other hand was lacking. We asked to try the potato salad to be told we don't do that because what if you say you don't like it. I was taken back by this...I replied with why would I want to buy something that I don't like. Probably won't go back. read more

The Smokey smell from the street lured me inside as I was looking for a lunch place to eat. I am from up North so Southern good is a treat for me. I ordered the 1/2 chicken plate with 2 sides. The greens were fresh and not bitter like some can be. The hand cut fries were delicious. I wish there was some pulled chicken but the floccor of the chicken was divine and it fell right off the bone. The place is super clean and the staff was friendly and pleasant! I don't eat pork but if you do, they have a lot of options for pork. read more

Two adults and two children. Shared a BBQ platter for a smaller lunch. We all really enjoyed our food. Owner is the nicest guy in the world. About half way from Savannah airport to Hilton Head. Would definitely go back again. read more

We had the pulled pork and a fork bbq. The pork was very tender and delicious. The bbq red sauce was very tasty and enhanced the pork. We had corn bread, sweet potato casserole and home cut fries for our sides. All were very good. I'd recommend you take a moment and stop in for a meal. Don't ask for butter or a lemon wedge. It is on their we will never have list. read more

Thanks for Yelp for finding this place; I can't say enough, the pulled pork was awesome, ribs also, corn bread ,Low country soup and Sweet potato casserole. Service was personal from the owners; closes at 7 though so check website. read more

Very bland bbq, beans and gluggy Mac n cheese. They only offer a thick, red Texas style sauce - no vinegar based sauce. Very cute spot, nice owner but girl at the counter couldn't be bothered. Not for us. read more

As usual great pulled pork, ribs and sides. Looking forward to our next visit. Would love for Ted to have a spicier version of his sauce. Maybe Ted's fire. read more

I had to upgrade to 5-stars because years later, we still love Bluffton BBQ just as much, if not more. The owners are fantastic and the food NEVER sucks. A must stop on every trip here. read more

Tried Bluffton BBQ for the first time tonight. I had heard about this dish called Brunswick Stew. It was featured on the food network at a BBQ place in Savannah. It was described as a thick meat filled stew with all kind of other additions, including beans, okra, corn and other items. It had beef, chicken and pork in it. The good....The Brunswick stew at Bluffton BBQ was very tasty and seasoned well. It included most of the items listed above. The bad.... Couldn't find anything in the stew that resembled meat. The addition of meat would have made it awesome. Hopefully, the owners will see this review and make the change. I will keep searching for Brunswick stew. read more

Walked in on Saturday around lunch expecting a very OK bbq experience as is standard around the bluffton/Beaufort area but was pleasantly surprised by a great rack of ribs and hot/juicy pulled pork sandwich. They put the sandwich on Grilled toast with a slice of tomato so that's a nice change of pace from North Carolina. You can tell straight away that the quality of the meat and other ingredients, and the work that went into prep was very high. Price point is medium and pretty on par for a BBQ restaurant, I'd even risk saying Bluffton BBQ is slightly cheaper than some other BBQ joints. Pretty low key place with not much room inside, there's around 15-20 chairs inside for dine in. Relatively simple menu so it's easy to choose from. Service was good and fast though I was lucky there wasn't a line ahead of me. Definitely deserves lines out the door from the pork bbq alone. I'll have to try the chicken next time as well and more sides. Enthusiastically recommended and definitely one of the best pork BBQ spots in the local bluffton/Beaufort/Hilton head area. Food easily competes with larger surrounding area BBQ joints with larger operating budget, dining area, and staff. read more

Had the ribs, chicken and the pulled pork. Sweet tea, fries and corn bread. All were terrific. Comes out dry with only the spicy rub applied. You add the sauce separately and it was very good and tasty with lots of complexity and not overly sweet. The owners were on hand and that makes a difference they came out and made sure everything was perfect. read more

I was visiting Old Town Bluffton SC and we all decided to drop into one of my favorite BBQ Restaurants. The restaurant was clean and all the usual help yourself items were available: sauces, drinks, salt & pepper. We sat outside. The pork ribs were tasty. A vinegar type sauce. This use yo be my favorite place but now I'd vote Capatains BBQ 1 up better for pork ribs located in Palm Coast, Florida. Both restaurants are worth trying. read more

We bought a pound of pulled pork and a half chicken plate with coleslaw. Pulled pork and half chicken were very very dry. The chicken was inedible. Almost felt like those items were leftovers in the oven. read more

The food is very good and my pulled pork was excellent as was the barbecue sauce. The Cole slaw had a ice kick with corn and black olives which I've never had before. The Mac and cheese was very good also. I wish they had brisket though. We enjoyed our tasty lunch. Sandwich is big! read more

Okay BBQ. Ribs and chicken feel off the bone. Sweet Potato Casserole was okay but really lacked pecans. You could hardly find any. Coleslaw was good. Only offered one kind of sauce, no corn bread. Food was more expensive than its competitor Choo Choo BBQ and portions were a lot smaller. Granted we had plenty to eat though. Would recommend V Choo Choo for our northern guests. read more

Exactly what you want in off-the-beaten-path. Good food, cool setting and awesome decor! read more
