The best authentic bbq restaurant in upper state SC. We drive from Georgia to make sure that we never miss the food. Everything is always fresh and do t get me started on the customer service. From the first visit, I felt like Iwas in my extended family's home. A hidden gem for sure!!! read more

This was our first visit and it is worth the drive!!!! This place is so friendly that even the other customers greeted us!! It's a down home southern hospitality place where you become part of the family as soon as you walk in the door. They have a selection of BBQ AND seafood!!!! The burgers are huge, the BBQ is amazing and the shrimp was delicious. The only disappointment was they had already run out of dessert. They are made fresh daily!! They have a cash discount! I am definitely returning. Look at their menu!!! To many other things I want to try. read more

Sheltons Smoking Butts BBQ and Catering - Pulled pork Burger - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Greer, South Carolina

Very mixed feelings about our experience. First, the good things: Two of us had pulled pork sandwiches, which were very flavorful and moist. One had chicken tenders and was disappointed. I had a side of onion rings which were well battered but seemed to have been fried in old grease and were mushy. Our 15-year-old had collard greens and said they were really good. The guy taking the money was very friendly but needed to clean himself up a bit. Pricing was quite reasonable. Now the negative: There is no ambiance. Metal folding chairs on a concrete floor. Food is served on plastic plates with plastic silverware and drink cups. You stand in line to order your food. Based on food quality and pricing, I would recommend Sheltons but if you have standards regarding atmosphere an cleanliness, I think you will be disappointed. read more

My wife had the thick smoked and grilled Bologna Plate. It was delicious. I had the 3 Fish combo plate. The shrimp was perfect. The catfish and the other fish were not as spicy or as thick as I'm used to. Everything was grilled or fried when you order it. The sides were amazing. I ate all my sides and finished my wife's sides. I'm going there again and order something barbecued! read more

Found this place the other day and got the hill billy egg rolls as an appetizer... has to be the best appetizer I have ever gotten from a bbq restaurant. The main entree was awesome too. Will definitely be back when I am in the area again. read more

Good bbq, made fresh. Had an excellent bbq shrimp over grits with some brisket thrown in. Im told the bbq burger was equally good. Nobody went hungry. Pretty rustic and off the beaten path for sure. They could do well by modernizing a bit. They need more help. They need to allow for online ordering. read more

I had heard about this place and decided to give it a try. I ordered the meat platter, which was a sampler of brisket, Pulled pork, ribs and smoked sausage. It comes with two sides. I absolutely loved it. Service was fast and friendly. It's in a cute little place. that's by a pond and they have plenty of parking as well as seating both inside and out. I thought the price was very reasonable for what you get. We'll definitely be back. read more

I stopped by Sheltons a couple weeks back to check out the fishing lake. To my surprise, I turned in and also noted a sign for Sheltons Smoking BBQ. I looked over the nice pond. I plan to take my grand fishing there. I decided while there I would also check out the restaurant. The restaurant is nice, clean and cozy. The lakeside location adds to the character and atmosphere of the setting. Casual and hospitable would be proper terms. I had an opportunity to talk fishing and family with Tyler, the Owner. He's a great guy. All of the employees I engaged with at Sheltons were very courteous and helpful. The menu is written in chalk on a large board. And there are offerings to suit every palate. On separate visits I have tried the sausage, ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sides to include slaw, collard greens, loaded beans, green beans, and fried okra. Tyler and team knows exactly what they are doing. The ribs, with the dark smoke covering are among the best I've had. The brisket is tender and the pulled pork is very tasty. I rarely eat smoked sausage, but I love Sheltons sausage. It's cooked to perfection. There are many side offerings. Besides the ones I mentioned, there is fried squash, rice, potato crunch, macaroni and a long list of others. Each side I tried was well seasoned and reminiscent of real home cooking. All are generous in portion. It's great take home food. There are maybe 5-6 homemade sauce offerings for the Barbeque. I like the original and the mustard based sauces. But I happened upon their vinegar pepper sauce. It's my new fav. Pro tip; Try the Sampler Plate and prepare to eat it over a couple days! A drink comes with each entree. The tea is awesome! Pull into Sheltons. You will be glad you did. read more

From a picky NYer. . . That was Great! Dont judge a book by its cover. Service: Fantastic! The lady who helped us was so helpful. Appetizer: Amazing. Mozzarella sticks.Thick and cheezy! Entre: I had the pulled pork, sweet potato crunch, and fries. The winner! My wife had brisket, green beans mac and cheese. This was very good. It was all very solid but the standouts were the sweet potato crunch with peacans & Pulled pork with their original bbq!! The toasted buns and Texas toast were an excelllent match for the pulled pork and BBQ. Our kids asked for another toasted bun to build brisket sandwiches!!! Excellent. Will definitely back. read more

It's an unassuming place with really good food and nice portions. The owner makes everything in-house and has daily specials. The staff is small but super friendly, helpful and efficient. My hubby and I shared the sampler platter - the meats and sides were all delicious. He really liked the smoked sausage and mac and cheese ...my favorite was the ribs and collards. We will definitely be back. read more

A rare act, a missed turn and a Google maps error led us to discover this delightful restaurant featuring BBQ and more just a few miles from our new home in Duncan, SC. The rare act? Ceding lunch preference to my sister-in-law, who in this instance wanted a hamburger. I was feeling generous and agreed to her request. Fuddruckers was on the route home and I was prepared to settle for that but my wife missed the turn. Rather than double back I figured we could find another burger joint. Google maps led me to the intriguingly named Joe's Lake and Restaurant where hamburgers were prominently featured on the menu. But things turned doubtful when we made our way there only to discover what we expected to be Joe's was now named Sheltons Smoking Butts BBQ. Now don't get me wrong, the prospect of a BBQ joint just a mile or so from our house was serendipity in action for me but that cuisine is down the list for my wife. And hamburgers were the order of the day. So I was sent in to confirm the menu options at hand while my wife and her sister waited in the car. To my delight (and relief), burgers of every variety could be had along with an eclectic mix of BBQ offerings and full dinner plates. The fantastic smell of the place was a preview of the quality, variety and portion size of our order to come. Liz (my wife) and Tricia (her sister) got the burgers they wanted while I decided on something called the Smokehouse Dog thinking it would be a sausage of some sort. The burgers were HUGE with a nice char on the outside but juicy and flavorful inside. My dog was a delightful surprise in that it was surrounded by pulled pork with a topping of crispy onions. Happiness all around. Sides are diverse. My mac and cheese and peppery coleslaw did not disappoint. Liz and Tricia had garden salads and fries as their accompaniments. Both earned raves. We learned the back story of Joe's/Sheltons from the hostess and co-owner. Joe's was a local institution that she and her husband grew up with. When the place came up for sale they seized the opportunity to convert their food truck to brick and mortar. The lake is stocked for fishing for a fee but I'll take my food smoked and delicious! It's places like these that I live to discover and dine. I can't wait to work my way through the menu! And so will you!! read more

This might be the worst bbq I've ever had. Pulling up to the restaurant should have been my first clue. We were camping at a local place and just want to warn fellow campers not to go here read more

The food was fantastic. Enjoyed the sauces. Watching the lake while eating was a bonus. Tyler and his wife are great to talk with. Can't wait to come back and see them again! Want to try out the fishing at the lake too. I had the pulled pork with collard greens and sweet potatoes crunch. I truly enjoyed their place! read more

Great food and amazing service. Go support a family owned business. Right by a fishing pond. Cool atmosphere. Owner is cool. Highly recommend. read more

Way too expensive for the portion when it comes to buy for family meal is ridiculous never again potato salad nasty way too much mustard and pulled pork dry read more

Everything we ordered was delish and the staff were all so friendly! The brisket and pulled pork were so tender. The macaroni was very cheesy and good. The best thing for me was the hush puppies!!! They are homemade and so crunchy and yummy! Large selection of sides and meats, and sauces. Homey feel to the place with a fishing pond out back. We will definitely be going back!!! read more

Fantastic food and people...I highly recommend the brisket! The pulled pork is always ggood, too.

Was really hoping to like this place. Sadly, that is not the case. Food was not good at all. The green beans tasted like heavy salt water and vinegar. My son who eats anything even spit them out. The pulled pork was dry and needed sauce which we were not given. Not to mention in my wife's pork she got what looked to be a large chunk of fat that was cooked and served with her tray. Actually made her gag. Hush puppies were overly and unevenly cooked if you can believe that. And lastly the Mac and cheese that was served looked like two day old Mac and cheese that was basically reheated in the microwave. I've eaten at some really good bbq places in my life and this place is far from it. Oddly enough is also more expensive than other bbq places in the area. I would not recommend this restaurant. Especially after only eating a few bites and ultimately making my wife throw up. The only thing I will say that was good was the lady at the register and the other waitress. Very nice and pleasant. Sadly the food was not. read more

This place is amazing. The food is beyond delicious. Great prices and value. I mean the portions are big! You won't leave hungry; that's for sure. They have a great variety of food; it's prepared to order and it's fresh. The service is so friendly. Plus, they ask if it's your first time there. If it is, they are so genuinely excited to explain their business model and how everything works - and where everything is - like sauces, napkins, drinks, etc. This place is family ran and the family is so cute, you can't help but fall in love with them. I think they have really neat events here, like fishing and things - check it out. I'll definitely be back. read more

I'm a Carolina girl-North Carolina, that is. And the here is one thing you've got to know about us-we are SERIOUS about our BBQ! It's Eastern NC (vinegar and pepper based) or Western NC (think grocery store bottled sauce). This guy has it ALL! (Even that mustard based aberration that we would NEVER consider BBQ sauce!) All are made in house, and as good as any I've ever had; and better than most! I had the pulled pork with a side of potato salad and beans. The beans were good, with a vinegary, smoky "dressing ". The potato salad was made in house, just a bit too much mustard for me. The meat was sheer perfection-no fat, no gristle-just lean, smoked meat, like good BBQ should be! You add your own sauce-try one, try them all! If you leave hungry, it's your own fault! You can bet I will be returning! And often! Just make sure to check their hours and days before you go. read more

Spent 40.00 for burnt food. I owned a bbq joint and know the difference between burnt and smoked. The Brisket was tough and dry and the meat and macaroni was dirty smoked. This is the second time I've been here and the 2nd time I've had a horrible experience. There won't be a 3rd. read more

Shelton's has been our family's go to for BBQ since before he opened the restaurant. Food is always good and portions are plentiful! My favorites are the bologna sandwich and the BBQ hotdogs. Can't remember what they are actually called. Beans are delicious and the fried pickles are perfect. I like they use spears instead of chips. Sheldon's slew of bbq sauces are great. JT and his wife are great people and service is always top notch. read more

We wanted local BBQ and found Shelton's through a Google search. We were not disappointed! The portions are generous. The food was delicious. The service was quick and helpful. Highly recommend this location. If we're ever back in the area, I know we'll be back. So good! read more
