    Pork and brisket. Beans and potato salad
    Cathrine C.

    Combo plate was delicious! It was enough to feed me and my boyfriend. All the sauces are amazing, I would totally recommend!! Sweet people

    BBQ sandwich and BBQ sandwich plate

    Excellent bbq and slaw. Sandwiches had enough bbq for 2 and it was sooo tender and tasty. We will definitely be back. Pulled pork BBQ was $10 a pound!!! So good we ot some to go. Can't wait to come back!!!

    The 2 meat combo, wish I had just tried the ribs. The sides are ok, nothing special

    Horrible bbq. Never had South Carolina bbq before being from Oklahoma but I have to assume it's not usually this tough and fatty. The Carolina Gold sauce was good. Not going to miss this place.

    My unofficial search for the best BBQ in SC stumbled across Burly Bill's on the way back thru Marietta and TR towards Greenville. It's a trailer (with a faded Yelp decal!), usually open only Fri-Sat-Sun, and the only seating is outside under a tent. But, "To Go" is the way to go, anyway. Lots of folks do pulled pork, very few do good Brisket. NONE I have tasted in SC do it any better than Burly Bill's. $17 a pound, and it was even on special for $15 for Memorial Day. This stop belongs on your BBQ bucket list! Make sure you ask for the Memphis homemade sauce.

    Searched Yelp for good BBQ in the upstate. Wasn't sure how barbecue would be from a food truck/trailer, but was pleasantly surprised. Had the pulled pork sandwich platter with baked beans and fried okra. The pork was chunky (in a good way), the hot sauce that I chose wasn't particularly hot, but was tasty nonetheless. Sides were good as well. My partner is a vegetarian and surprisingly there were vegetarian options, as the sides don't have meat in them and are not fried in the same oil with meet. Bill is a nice fellow and we ate at the covered picnic tables out front. Overall the food quality was very good, and the experience very pleasurable. Would definitely recommend this place if your looking for good barbecue in a casual setting.

    Even our dogs loved it

    Being vegetarian and eating at a BBQ place is normally an oxymoron, but this place had plenty for me to eat. Only place in South Carolina that I can eat fried food that hasn't been fried in the same oil as meat. The fried okra was great and not greasy or over battered.

    I got a bbq sandwich. SO GROSS! The meat was well over half just greasy fat. "Barbequed" beans and coleslaw were not good either.

We had passed it so many times and always wanted to stop in. We finally got to today and it was so much nicer and bigger inside than we had imagined! Very cute inside, the way they decorated, with nice wooden tables. Their food menu is bigger than I expected, and they make it from scratch. They have many sandwiches (even a Cuban, or carnitas! Impressive!), beef hot dog plates and toppings, BBQ, sides, wraps, soups and stews, a baked goods station, ice cream station, coffee station, and a gift shop connected next door. The man running the place-- I assume the owner of this family spot-- was so nice and cheery! He was so helpful and told us about the food he had. The younger girl working with him was nice too. You walk up to the counter and order, get your food and sit down, then pay when you leave. It was busy and seemed like the place to be! Our food was great! My son and I each got the 1 hot dog plate which comes w a choice of side. (They have 2 hot dog plates also). Many sides to choose from like roasted cabbage, Mac n cheese, slaw, collard greens, soup, chips, and many others. I topped my dog with ketchup, his mustard bbq sauce (so good!), sauerkraut, and cheese. Delicious! I tried the spicy vinegar slaw- delicious! My son loved his and the Mac n cheese too. My SO got the brisket sandwich w the mustard BBQ sauce (3 bbq sauces to choose from) and said it was delicious. I saw someone w the New Brunswick stew and it looked very good. All very affordable and good sized portions. The gift shop was cute too, w many locally made items, candies, candles, blankets, wreaths, honey, elderberry, mugs, toys, soaps, chapstick, etc. We will definitely be back to try more things, the next time we head to the mountains or on a hike. Worth the stop!

The ribs were well-cooked, the portions were generous, and the service was great. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food arrived promptly. The mac and cheese, fries, and coleslaw were all enjoyable and complemented the meal well. That said, we're giving it 3 out of 5 stars. While the food was good, we felt the selection of sides was somewhat limited compared to other barbecue restaurants. Our biggest disappointment was the barbecue sauce. The sauces were very thin, and because of that, they didn't really cling to the ribs. We personally prefer a thicker, richer sauce that stays on the meat and adds more flavor with each bite. Despite those points, we still had a pleasant experience and can see why many people enjoy this spot. Good food, good service, and a solid barbecue stop if you're in the area.
