    All the meats are sliced freshly to order, grilled for you and super delicious. Try the pork belly and fermented bean paste.

    So good! We get the all you can eat and it's always a beautiful spread! Amazing service too

    I'm originally from south Florida where there's a plethora of great Korean food so I was hesitant to go here. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and there was only one other table. This restaurant is different from other kbbq, you order your meat and they cook it for you which is great for those who don't like having to cook your own food. A typical Korean bbq restaurant there's a grill on every table and you cook your own meat. With the all you can eat option you eat unlimited meat, side dishes, rice, cheesy corn and soup! Everything came out piping hot and fast. The side dishes were super tasty my favorite was the bean sprouts. Service was super fast. Restaurant is very clean has nice kpop music playing in the back. It ended up being around $50 a person with a soft a drink. I can't wait to come back here!

    Get the lunch special! You get to pick an entree and a meat for $16-$18, which I think is worth it. Good portion sizes and complimentary banchan. I wish the side dishes were more flavorful/spicy. The chimichurri sauce was really good.

    All you can eat bbq. Korean cheese corn

    This was our first time here and it did not disappoint. We got the lunch deal for all you can eat and everything was so flavorful. We definitely left full and satisfied.

    Side dishes are presented first

    Happy to report that a legit K-BBQ option finally landed here in GVL. This is a place you'll see actual Koreans come and frequent, because it's closer in flavor and quality you'll find in an ATL establishment. Ambiance: First thing you'll notice after you find the place, is that the interior is thoughtful, cozy and noticeably more polished than your standard GVL korean place. The KPOP music in the background sets a youthful vibe to an otherwise firmly traditional korean fare. An up-to-date playlist was playing, if that's your thing. Service: Service was great at our time there, which was during lunch. The Korean lady that sat us down was nice and the server who attended to our table was super nice. They were smart to skip the cook it yourself model you'll find in most places. People in the know what to do, but, more often than not in a city like GVL, cooking your own food wont lead to the best experience nor taste. Our lunch time experience only had 5 tables filled and our food came out fast. Food: We ate the lunch All you can eat for $30/person. As with most Korean places, you are presented with your Banchan (side dishes). We were pleasantly surprised that the Sweet cheesy corn was included. We selected a set of three meats (all beef to start) to the server and in a few minutes, a sizzling plate of meat came to us with a pleasant waft of BBQ goodness. As great as it smelled, most of the time, Korean places are either too mom and pop and not very good... or too over the top in their assumption that a more American audience will like things sweeter (which TBH, they do), and overdo the sweetness. This place manages to keep the flavors close what authentic K-BBQ should taste like: quality meat with the flair of a big city joint, and without overdoing things that would turn off Korean traditionalists. It was so good that... it made me think, oh, this place needs to do well so it's around as a staple in the GVL community. Value: This is the best part. My wife and I left FULL after two rounds. The food was quality, the experience was big city good and the bill came in under $70 bucks! Just a couple months ago, we spent over $200 at Texas de Brazil across the street and while we enjoyed it, we ultimately left thinking "well, it was good but was it $220 good?" We left JK feeling as satisfied as TDB, but without crying wallet. Ya'll, we finally got a legit one here in GVL. Let's keep it here!

    I eat a lot of BBQ from all over the country. So when SBH was recommended to me in Greenville, I…read moreheaded on over at the first opportunity. It was lunch time and I wanted to try a few different things to see what they were doing here. I got a brisket sandwich, which was ok (I did not discern any smoked flavor) but the portioning was underwhelming. The cheese did not add anything to the sandwich. I also ordered a hot link and I ended up adding several slices of the link to the underwhelming sandwich to give it some substance. And lastly, I ordered a mac & cheese eggroll - ok, but nothing special. This was a take out order and I got the hot BBQ sauce, which was pretty good. Overall, the BBQ here is just middling and I've had much better. Maybe some of the other menu options would change my mind, but doubtful I'll return. One other item of note - this business will add on a 2% hospitality tax, a 2.5% take out tax and a 2.99% credit card surcharge to your bill (if you pay by credit card). I don't know if these additional taxes are manditory state or local taxes, but I would presume so. When the anti-tax morons scream and cry about property taxes and income taxes, this is what you end up with. And everyone is adding credit card surcharges now, so no surprise there. There is of course an additional sales tax added on the order, which I presume is the standard state sales tax. For those of you who are mathematically challenged, there is also an handy Suggested Additional Tip chart at the bottom of your receipt, if you are so inclined. It's based on check price before discounts and taxes and will tell you so.

    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.)

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!

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.

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!

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!
