TLDR: delicious Southern food. Amazing service. Supporting a business who supports the community. This is a great spot for some finger-licking good Southern food! The founder dinner was seasoned well and paired well with a little hot sauce. If you get the dinner, it comes with 3 sides. You can get 2 sides if you get the smaller option, which may be good if you don't have as big an appetite. I got the dinner because my eyes were bigger than my stomach but zero regrets because the green beans, Mac & cheese, and baked beans were so good! I would mention that the food is cooked to order so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get your food, whether that's to go or if you stay in the restaurant. You can sit inside at any of the high top tables or outside if the weather is nice. I definitely plan to be back the next time I'm in town! read more

Middleton’s Village BBQ - Wings. Green beans. Mac & cheese. Baked beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Awendaw, South Carolina

This place has real strengths. The food is genuinely good, the flavors are solid, and the people running the place are friendly and welcoming. That part shows immediately. They care about the customers, and you feel it when you talk to them. They struggled during a heavy rush. Orders backed up, attention to detail slipped, and my food was delayed longer than it should have been. It's clear they need more structure and support during busy periods. Even so, the staff stayed kind, and their attitude makes you want them to succeed. They have the core elements of a great spot, good food and good people. With tighter execution during peak hours, they could turn into something special. read more

Personable service, delicious bbq fare, hefty portions--we thoroughly enjoyed this spot. Love the mission statement too!

People in need of transportation And people in need of great barbecue come together. Thank you for doing your part and I'll do my part to keep the money coming in , thank you so much, read more

Middleton’s Village BBQ - Max and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Awendaw, South Carolina

If you are coming from Mount Pleasant, Charleston, or even further, trust me when I say it's worth the drive and then some. Some of the best BBQ you'll ever have and a great selection of sides. The pulled pork is excellent, but I only know that from my wife letting me try hers. I always go with the ribs and am never disappointed. Atmosphere is very relaxed, but the staff is on top of everything. You don't need to go to Kansas City or St. Louis for world class BBQ--just drive down to Awendaw. read more

Great flavor to the food. We have been here three times. The first time were when the pictures were taken. The ribs weren't falling off the bone, which is the way I like mine, but they were tasty nonetheless. The wings were really good. I ordered the teriyaki and my husband ordered lemon pepper. We both were pleased with everything. The second time we had a large order and they forgot several items, but on our recent visit they rectified the mistake with no questions asked. Call ahead because they can tend to be slow if you pull up, but they are working out the kinks and getting faster with each visit. Nice family run business, with friendly service and good food. read more

A Diamond in the Rough: This BBQ Joint is Pure GoldSo, there I was, standing in front of a place that, honestly, looked like it had seen better days. The exterior was nothing to write home about, and you'd be forgiven for thinking twice before stepping in. But, oh boy, am I glad I did.Let's talk about what matters most: the food. We kicked things off with ribs--both fried and grilled, because why not live a little? I wasn't prepared for the culinary rollercoaster that ensued. These ribs weren't just good; they were the kind of delicious that makes you pause, close your eyes, and take a moment to appreciate the flavors dancing around your palate. The chef behind these masterpieces? A wizard, no less.Then there was the pulled pork. Imagine the tenderest, most flavorful pork you've ever had, then multiply that by ten. That's what we got. It was the kind of dish that makes you wonder if you've ever really tasted pulled pork before this moment.The sides? Far from mere fillers, they were a delight in their own right. The Mac and Cheese was a creamy, dreamy concoction that felt like a warm hug. And the baked beans--let's just say they were not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill side dish. They had a depth and richness that spoke of hours of careful cooking and a secret recipe passed down through generations.Now, about that BBQ sauce--it didn't just accompany the dishes; it elevated them. It was tangy, it was sweet, it had a kick--it was everything you could ever ask for in a BBQ sauce and then some. Saying it "slaps" might be understating it; this sauce was a symphony in a bottle.And here's a little insider tip: keep an eye out for the red light. If it's on, it means the ribs are fresh off the grill, and you're in for a treat that's straight-up BBQ magic.Walking into this place, I wasn't sure what to expect. But walking out, I was already planning my next visit. This BBQ joint, with its unassuming exterior and culinary wonders, is a reminder that the best treasures are often hidden in plain sight. It's a place of contradictions--modest yet magnificent, simple yet extraordinary.So if you ever find yourself standing in front of this humble eatery, wondering if you should go in, do yourself a favor and step through that door. There's a world of flavors waiting for you inside, served up by a chef who knows their craft inside out. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this. read more

Excellent food and great service! We have always gotten our food to go, and the online ordering is seamless. Food is always ready when promised. They have an outside covered area that looks like a nice place for a group...I've seen a couple of what appear to be private parties there. Not sure if it is open all the time to take your food out there, but would be fun if so. Unassuming place, but the food and people make it a winner! read more

This is how SC BBQ should me. Great seasoning, sauce on the side, not dry at all... yes. Ribs and pulled pork are what I had. Also, you can't beat the prices. If I had a large party to feed I'd make the trip from West Ashley. The value is that good. Also, the curbside system is really fast. Just call ahead and place your order. read more

This. Place. Is. Amazing. Our visit last weekend was perfect from start to finish. We had pulled pork sandwiches, mac-n-cheese, French fries, fried okra, cornbread, and FRIED RIBS. The owners were an absolute delight and the food knocked it out of the park. This was our first time experiencing fried ribs and it will not be the last, they are amazing! Everything was delicious and it was really nice to not have to google ingredients; simple food, expertly prepared, reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. We ate everything but the styrofoam and the napkins. It would be a perfect place to take out of town guests looking for old school southern cooking. read more

Great BBQ food! Clean place, fast service and friendly staff. What the owner is doing for the community is exceptional.

This place is awesome! The BBQ is delicious and the fried ribs are unlike anything I've had before. Be sure to try the loaded fries and be sure to speak to the owner. He's also the chef and he's great read more

First time for everything. Never have I ever had the owner/chef/entrepreneur be the first person to great me an take my order. Elliott is putting in overtime. Fantastic BBQ Sandwich today. Dynamite MacNChz. But best part was the authentic conversation with a man who simply has a passion to serve the people in his community. Can't wait to be back with friends savoring his generation passed on recipes. Thanks Elliott. read more

WOW BBQ food. Loved their regular ribs (super tender & tasty) & sweet potato fries - scrumptious. And the people who work there are lovely. Definitely going back. read more

Today driving back from Beaufort we didn't pass any BBQ places open between Ravenel or Mt Pleasant, (Sunday or too early) we had basically given up and drove past this place in Awendaw. We whipped the car around and headed back a block or two. Glad we did- We were early but they were open- Had no idea what to expect but damn! it was good- BBQ sandwhich, 1/2 rack of meaty ribs, slaw, fries and fried okra everything was excellent. Even though your sitting under a huge pavillion they had plenty of tvs and some great jazzy music playing. Relaxing- had a another customer approach us and ask if it was good or not before he ordered. Told him it was our first time but the smells were great. He and his wife ordered as well. We got our order and looked over at him after a few bites and said- " you wont be disappointed" after he got his order a few minutes later a bite or two into it he looked over at us and smiled, "it's good!" We will definitely be back- read more

This is some of the BEST bbq I've ever tasted. The owners are friendly and pleasant to converse with, and their food is absolutely delicious--including the sides. Fun to hang out & play cornhole while you're waiting for your food. Wish we lived closer--we come from across the country for this amazing bbq, so we only get to enjoy it once a year. read more

Natalie gave us great service and everyone at our table enjoyed their food, especially the baked beans and Mac and cheese. I love this place and also all that they do for the community! Good people, good food! read more

I'm probably going to get excommunicated from Eastern NC, Memphis, and Kansas City for writing this, but Middleton & Maker has the BEST rib sauce I have ever eaten. We ordered online, and everything was perfect when we picked up: ribs, pulled pork, flounder, cornbread, sides, sweet tea... Travels and reheats well, too, so I don't think we will ever drive up Highway 17 again without stopping. I have already recommended to others in Pawleys area--worth the trip! read more

Great BBQ and their sauce is amazing! We tried the half rack of ribs and pulled pork with fries. Will definitely be back!
