In need of a family friendly, late lunch during our trip to Charleston, my wife and I chose Lewis…read moreBarbecue. The restaurant seems quite popular as evidenced by the line at the relatively off hours of Friday at 2:00PM. Fortunately, the queue moved expediently and we were ordering in less than 10 minutes. The service model is standard in that you wait on line, order your meats, and seat yourself. The dining room and outdoor patio at Lewis are very large and provide ample seating. The ambience is clean but still hews classic with wood accents and butcher paper serving as your plate. We ended up sitting at the bar as we wanted to enjoy one of the many well curated local beers Lewis offers on tap. Bonus points for having bar height high chairs for our little one. We opted to sample four meats and three sides. This amount of food proved perfect for the two of us and our hungry 14 month old. All of the meats carried a discernible smoky taste and aroma with meltingly tender textures and ample seasoning. We enjoyed the meaty pork ribs and tender brisket the most, but everything we sampled had merit. The meats do not need sauce, strictly speaking, though you'd be remiss to pass on Lewis' Tex-Mex infused tasty condiments, which complement all of the meats rather well. The sides also were excellent. The justifiably famous sweet and slightly spicy corn pudding acted as the star, with generous helpings of tangy collards and not excessively creamy potato salad rounding out our meal. Our total for food was less that $60, a very decent value for the quality and quantity. While ultimately a counter service joint, the service here was friendly enough both at the checkout and bar to warrant mention. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be doing what they were doing and treated us kindly. Overall, for tasty fare, good value, and warm service, this is an easy 5 star rating for barbecue in Charleston.

I was a huge fan of the Alabama white sauce as well! The standout for me was the Nutter Butter pie topped with chocolate. Absolutely sinful and delicious! I also loved the mason jar light fixtures. A fun decorative touch for the laid back environment! We had such a wonderful experience and are excited for the newest concept coming to JZI. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I were looking for somewhere to eat a little later than normal and noticed this group is open until midnight.. How convenient during the weekdays. Our server, Dirk was awesome, guiding us through the menu after realizing this was our first time. We started with pork Cracklins and shared the combo plate with the brisket chili mac & cheese, and an extra side to try their coleslaw. I highly recommend trying it this way liked all three loved the chili and the mac & cheese was definitely in my top five. The 80s theme music played well for me and my wife as well as that southern hospitality we've really come to appreciate we will be back. Can't wait to try their other locations around the area..

Small parking spaces so you would have to rely on street parking on busier days however I was lucky to park behind the restaurant on a Wednesday evening. Service was excellent! Let's talk about the food! I ordered a 3 meat combo: Brisket, Pork Ribs, and Pulled Pork. My favorite was the brisket however I wish it was sliced not chopped nevertheless it was tasty. The Pork ribs were delicious as well but I wish it was more tender. Pulled pork was nicely seasoned but not my personal preference of meats however it was my first time so I had to get a little taste of everything. I will definitely be back to try their brisket sandwich! The sides: Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese, and Cornbread that all come with the combo. I enjoyed these sides as they hit what southern sides are all about. No problem there!

These were fire! Hush puppies were maybe the best I've had here in Charleston. Once you break it apart and dip it with the crab meat it was decadent and delish. I got the crispy pork belly bowl and they also got the duck and chicken plate along with two sides which were the collards and mustard cucumbers. Those will clear up your nostrils real quick with that hot mustard. The duck was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The scallion oil on top was what made it super tasty. We loved the vibe and how quickly our food came out! We left no crumbs behind! Love Chef Shuai and the team here!

The texture was fine, but the flavor of the sauce was too sweet for me. It did come with a unique square of cornbread, which was really moist and good. - I ordered the wings because they needed the dressing. They came along with it to make the flavor profile. I wasn't a fan of them without the dressing. They were also a little dry. I would give them a 3 out of 5. - The appetizer, the cornbread itself, had a nice butter topping for it. The cornbread seemed to have corn bits in it, which were chewy, but the cornbread was also dry, so I'd have to give it a 2 out of 5. - The empanadas themselves were cooked a little long, but the filling was really good. The flavors of the corn and everything together made it a 5 out of 5. They were a little pricey for two empanadas, but it was the star of the meal. I would definitely say the empanadas are a 4 out of 5 only because of the quantity that you get for the price. - The mocktail that they made was super sour. It needed some simple syrup to tone it down, but flavor-wise, it was good. I would have to give the entire experience a 3 out of 5.

Inside the men's bathroom had two urinals and two basins. Also there is an outside bar with three TVs, one behind the bar and two in the covered entertainer's area. We sat outside so we walked to that outside bar with the friendly, efficient, effective server. We also ordered food, the Butcher's Burger and a set of single ribs with your choice of sauces. Unfortunately the ribs were overcooked and thus tough to bite off and then bit chewy. The burger was quite good, with cheese and sliced pork belly to upgrade any usual burger, but this meat was thick and also had slight bit of tomato jam. Other than the underwhelming, overdone preparation of the ribs, it was a good time for all as people came and went. IMPORTANTLY, on this date, they were selling cooked oysters in small groups ALL YOU CAN EAT (when's the last time you heard that?) for $30. The profit on the oysters is going to a Down's Syndrome support group. Excellent!

Huge outdoor space, amazing food, and so many great brews on tap. They have happy hour from 4-7 on the weekdays and weekly events and specials almost every night including trivia and live music. The staff was so welcoming and I might dream about the giant pretzel for the rest of forever (but definitely about the cheese). You can also buy any of their sausages to go and cook them at home. I feel like this is going to be an NFL Sunday hangout.
