    The hype is real. The food here is unbelievable. The Michelin star is well deserved. If I were on…read moredeath row, this would be part of my last meal! My husband and I came here for lunch. 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!! :)

    Best food experience I've had in Charleston -- even though there was an issue towards the end of my…read morevisit (more on that later). Yes, there will be a line to wait in during prime meal hours. 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.
