However, Smokehouse at Paris Avenue is much more what you expect in a BBQ place than the upscale feel of Roadhouse. We went on a Friday night and they were fairly busy, especially with take-out. The dining room is small, and it is a counter-serve establishment, but the folks working were so friendly. One in my party was a little perturbed that we had to wait a while for our food, but the portions were large, filling, and delicious. I was curious to learn about the history of the space itself. We will be back! So good.

My mom said her oysters were really good & I did try the okra and it was delicious. My brisket was good, very juicy, tender & tasty. My red rice was some of the best I've EVER had as well as the cabbage. Another reviewer said the cabbage was overcooked and that's his opinion but in my opinion that's how southern cooked cabbage should be. I tried my mom's mac & cheese and that was also some of the best I've ever had. The next day I went back to get a to go order to take home to Summerville for my family. I ordered the brisket, ribs, red rice, mac & cheese, cabbage & coleslaw. Unfortunately my coleslaw wasn't in the bag when I got home. Their ribs are really good too, the only thing that I didn't like is that the silver skin was left on. Most places I get ribs from the silver skin is removed. All of the sides were delicious! I actually like their sides more than the bbq. Bbq is good but the sides are delicious!!

We were served with a smile and our food came out in a timely manner. The BBQ itself was tender and smoky, without any real standout flavor to speak of. But, there are quite a few flavors of sauce on the table, so they leave it up to you to pick your spices. I had a two meat combo with dark chicken and ribs and sides of greens and Brunswick stew. Everything was solid. The stew was my absolute favorite. It was so good, that I everything before I remembered to take pictures.

Top 3 ribs I've ever had in my life…read more Followed by the worst brisket I've ever had in my life. I eat a lot of bbq at restaurants and my own. If I made brisket and it came out like this, I would immediately throw it in my trash can and order pizza for my guests. Giant waste of money. It looked bad but I thought maybe there was a chance because the ribs were amazing. I took a single bite, spit it out and then threw it all away. For expensive as it is to eat out, they should not be service garbage like this. If it weren't for the ribs this would be a 1 star review.

Lowcountry Backyard was one of those places that feels like it's been there forever in the best…read morepossible way. Quirky, unpolished, a little tucked away, and absolutely full of character. It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

What a disappointment. We waited 45 minutes just for our crab dip appetizer to arrive, and when it…read morefinally did, there was no dip whatsoever, it was dry and overcooked. That should've been my first sign the rest of the meal would go downhill. My son's chicken tenders came out burned and black.

I added the smokehouse hot bbq ( not spicy at all, great flavor though) and black pepper to eat it since I was hungry. The fries were extra crispy where you couldn't use a fork. I ordered a new order with instructions " not crispy " and those were amazing with the smokehouse sauce. I was told the Chatham Cheesesteak was juicy, seasoned, cooked right lol and had the right amount of onions for him. Service was excellent. I enjoyed the fact that each waiter that walked past stopped to ask " are you in need of anything or is everything ok" that's how it's done.

We tried 4 of each flavor - Hot Asian - Maui Wowii - Mama Mia - Italian Stallion OHHH and the cornbread - if you like cakey corn bread...which I do...you will love their cornbread.

We stopped into Poogan's Smokehouse on East Bay Street for an early dinner on a recent trip to…read moreCharleston. It was pleasantly quiet when we arrived, but it filled up quickly as the evening went on -- a good sign. The food here is genuinely delicious and, best of all, reasonably priced for downtown Charleston. We shared a plate that came with pulled pork and smoked chicken wings, along with coleslaw and sweet potato fries. We also started with the smoked rib and charred corn empanadas as an appetizer. Everything was outstanding -- the meats were tender, smoky, and well-seasoned without being overdone. Their coleslaw is my favorite among the options; it's creamy with just a hint of heat that keeps it interesting. The sweet potato fries were a nice touch too. We had our eye on the pork belly burnt ends, but they were sold out that night -- understandable for a popular item. My only real nitpick is that they don't offer brisket, but with everything else tasting so good, it's hard to complain much. Our waitress, Brady, was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and really helpful with recommendations. Service like that makes a big difference. If you're in the mood for quality smoked BBQ without the tourist-trap markup, Poogan's Smokehouse is a great choice. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. Highly recommended!

I went here with my mom & nephew a couple of months ago and while it was good I just thought there…read moreare other places in the area that have better ribs, imo. My ribs were cooked so much that the bones were actually breaking in half when I picked up a rib. So when I went to eat one the cartilage was coming off with the meat and then I had to fish it out with my fingers. I get that ribs are eaten with your fingers I just didn't like having to fish out the stuff that wasn't meat. My nephew had shrimp and grits, and they were very tasty but they apparently leave the tails on the shrimp and I know a lot of places do that for the aesthetic but actually it just makes it harder to eat. You can't get a spoonful of shrimp AND grits without having to take the tail off first. So then your hands are covered in the gravy and maybe some ppl like it that way, we don't. My husband will eat the tails but he's the only person I've ever known to do that. Our waitress was very pleasant, I wish I could remember her name but it's been a couple of months. Their green beans were outstanding!! They were roasted and I throughly enjoyed them. I would go back again and probably try the pulled pork so I don't have to worry about the bones & cartilage of the ribs. They also didn't take the silver skin off, I prefer it off but maybe some ppl like it that way. Also they corn muffins that came with our meals were burnt on the bottom. The tops tasted good but the bottoms were definitely burnt.

The atmosphere is casual and fun -- perfect for a large group -- and we loved sharing a variety of menu items.

The Brisket Blue Salad was outstanding, and the sides we tried -- especially the Brunswick stew and mac and cheese -- were absolutely perfect.
