    Well I bet this place is better than what I experienced but I have to go off my experience. I arrived a little later in the day and was traveling with a group for work. This was highly recommend so I was excited for another wonderful BBQ meal. I was not however happy to hear that they were out of almost everything. No Mac and cheese, no chicken, watered down lemonade, only 3 ribs left and some dry chopped pork. I at my green beans and the cucumber salad and they were good but I can't say the same for anything else. I understand they will run out of food but with the food I received I can't understand why?

    Pork plate to go
    Jacqueline H.

    13 days since the last visit and still no ribs!!!! A true testament to the succulent, moist and flavorful ribs served here hmmmmm..... come early or don't come at al. Had to settle for a pork plate and ribs sold out and no bread!!!!! If it wasn't so darn good I would remove another star. Second visit! Courteous staff. A good bare bones functional restaurant serving the Donaldson area. Out if ribs today but no biggie just a reflection as to the approval these ribs get. People flock in to satisfy their BBQ craving. Got two combos which includes pulled pork and chicken. Moist, tender and fall off the bone ummm ummm. Friendly folks with a smile. Each meal comes with two sides and a tea/lemonade drink. I either return in the near future and most meals under 10 bucks and a full stomach that's glad I made the stop. Took one star as I still have a taste for the ribs that got away. Come hungry and leave full.

    Pork, Beans and I think they called it Sweet Potato crunch

    This was my first time here. It was good so I'll be back! We arrived late and they were running out of meats... The pork was very good and they give you a lot of it! Yes they smoke it! Sauces, they had tomato sauce and as you'd expect a mustard sauce. But they also a Vinegar Sauce, a nice peppered vinegar sauce. This is what you want to put on your pork folks! They do a great job with the pork IMO. The beans were good but not anything to write home about. Now the Sweet Potato Crunch was another story. I really enjoyed it! Disappointed no Banana Pudding

    PP sandwich, sweet potato hash and Mac n cheese!

    You mention Bucky's with my work colleagues most people acknowledge it in a hungry anticipation! It's merely a shack that serves some good down home hickory smoked southern BBQ. Sure they cook their meats at the main location (off Roper Mountain) but it's brought everyday fresh and tasty! They offer ribs, chicken and of course pulled pork! Their sides are quite delicious also. On my visit I went with a PP sandwich with Mac and cheese with sweet potato crunch! Serving size is good not insane but a good portion They do have two types of BBQ sauce, one a Carolina mustard yellow blend, the other a tomato blend. Both have a good tangy flavour of sweet with a slight vinegar tinge! I recommend you get here early in the lunch hour as it can get quite busy! They have run out of ribs once on an earlier visit if you get here late after 1 pm-ish Also make sure you have a coffee or double espresso in the afternoon at that 2pm time as it's a heavier lunch! Good stuff boys and some good BBQ!

    As a declared and self-ordained brisket snob from Texas I've been asked if there are any good…read moreplaces for it in South Carolina. The answer is a resounding "yep" and my favorite is Bobby's BBQ. On a recent visit to Greenville my wife and I made a side trip here, SO worth the stop. This is truly great brisket! Seasoned, wood-smoked, moist and flavorful. So tender it can be cut with a fork. Meat candy goodness. Is it supposed to be so dark? Absolutely, the servings are NOT burnt. There's a wonderful bark on this brisket which comes from a generous seasoned rub, low heat and a lot of TLC. Is it supposed to be fatty? You bet. Brisket is a tough cut of meat and fat provides tenderness, moisture and flavor. This ain't fine dinin' but the service from the counter is always welcoming and helpful. There is indoor and outdoor seating if you'd prefer to stretch your legs and eat here instead of waiting for the long drive home. The sides and sauces are very good as well. I love the Sweet Potato Crunch and the tangy OG Sauce is as good as any Texas Hill Country joint offers. (Sorry, I have no food photos. We got this order to-go and I didn't want to mislead anyone with shots of dinner on our deluxe paper plates.)

    Sorry for the lack of food pics; our food was so amazing, we ate it before I thought to snap any…read morepictures. Came in with the family on a Friday evening (my husband, 2 grown sons & I). We each got the sandwich combo (meat of your choice, 2 sides & a drink) and some smoked sausages. The turkey was amazing, as was the brisket and pulled pork! The sausage is some of the best we've ever had. My sons loved the mac 'n cheese and I loved the coleslaw and sweet potato casserole. There's plenty of seating, both inside and outdoors. The vibe is very family friendly and welcoming. They had seasonal blackberry & peach cobbler on the menu, but it was sold out that evening. My husband returned the following day to get some (and a couple more sausages). The cobbler was worth the wait! Staff is personable and friendly! We will definitely be back!

I got a 1/2 lb of pulled pork in hot vinegar sauce with Cole slaw on top and a side of mac and cheese. Man it was delicious. So smoky. The slaw was tangy and tasty. The Mac and cheese reminded me of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in appearance but oh my the flavor was nothing you can get from a box. :-) The total meal was around $10! The dining room is spread out across 2 rooms so not too noisy. All windows so very bright. Highly recommend this Greenville institution!

Order at the counter and they hand it to you and you take it to the table. No table service. Now for the food. Four pulled pork plates and a 1/2 chicken plate. I had one of the pulled pork plates with cucumbers salad and their sweet potato crunch. For those that don't know I am a bbq snob. We have smoked many a pound of pork. This pork was ok. It was however chopped which does change the taste. Also it was a bit dry and had gristle. I had several large pieces of gristle on my plate but the others did not. Could be due to I was the last one. The sauces were a yellow and a ketchup based. Actually mixed them and found them to be good. I usually do not like the mustard sauce. Mixed it worked well. The cucumber salad was very good and was given in abundance. The sweet potato crunch also surprised me and was delicious also. Now the sweet tea was absolutely naughty. Wow it was so good. Over all not a bad meal. Bbqing for a large operation is tough and my old school way would not make production so I have to take that into account. Typical old school BBQ joint with long tables and order at the counter. You will leave smelling smoky no doubt. Plenty of parking except right at the rush.

    We went on a nice Saturday afternoon and there were tons of seats outside (looks like they are…read moreusing part of the parking lot). It was fairly crowded and there was live music. It's right across the parking lot from Double Stamp brewery and they share the outdoor area so you can get beer from the brewery and sit outside and also order food from Home Team BBQ, which is what we did. It was in between meal times so we shared nachos which was excellent. Even though there were a lot of people, food came out quickly (they give you a buzzer and you do have to walk inside to pick it up). There was a good amount of meat and all the sauces/salsas were flavorful. Would definitely go back and try more food!

    We're big fans of Home Team because the food is so good. The menu has appetizers and salads,…read moresandwiches, and barbecue platters for varying hunger levels. They have a rotating draft list and the beer I had was perfect with my meal. We started with the wings from the appetizer menu which is one of my absolute favorites from Home Team. The rub is super flavorful and the Alabama white sauce that serves with it is so good. Highly recommend that you try it! We split a two meat platter with a half rack of ribs and pulled pork for the meats and mac and cheese and greens for the sides. I love Home Team's pulled pork. They have a variety of sauces on the table for you to eat with your meat, from mustard to peppered vinegar to hot sauce to several typical BBQ options. The sides were delicious as well. The mac and cheese is super cheesy and creamy. The portions are generous so you'll likely end up with leftovers!
