We visited the West Ashley location of Swig & Swine as a group of 8 (family and cousins) and it turned out to be one of the best meals we had all year. The atmosphere is casual and fun -- perfect for a large group -- and we loved sharing a variety of menu items. Everything was cooked perfectly, served at the ideal temperature, and seasoned beautifully. The Family Platter was a standout, offering a great mix of flavors. The Brisket Blue Salad was outstanding, and the sides we tried -- especially the Brunswick stew and mac and cheese -- were absolutely perfect. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, making it a fantastic spot for a family night out. Highly recommend! read more

The sign alone has called to me every time we'd travel from Hilton Head to Charleston. We finally had a chance to dine here last Thursday and it did not disappoint. We started with pork rinds with pimento cheese. I eat keto and it's so challenging to find starters in my diet ... let alone one that felt like such a decadent treat. It was whole hog Thursday so we both ordered that. So good! Fun atmosphere too. read more

If you're in the South, a BBQ crawl is basically mandatory, so we kicked things off at Swig & Swine. If you come here, order the brisket! It's juicy, tender, and generously seasoned - so good that it didn't need a single drop from the lineup of five BBQ sauces (though they're there if you want them.) Their brisket absolutely stands on its own and was easily the highlight of the stop! Don't even think about skipping dessert. The banana pudding is a must. One portion is hefty and perfect for sharing between two people (or not, depending on your level of self-control.) The service deserves a standing ovation. Southern hospitality was fully radiating - warm, friendly, and full of great recommendations. They even ran out to our car to return a bottle we accidentally left behind. The vibe is casual and comfortable, exactly what we wanted during a BBQ crawl. This stop was a clear win and set the bar high for the rest of our smoky adventure! read more

Quality BBQ and several good beers on tap. I had the pulled pork, brisket, and smoked pork belly...all were good. Personally, I thought the mustard, sweet BBQ, and Alabama White sauces were the best. Tried two local beers, an IPA and a Hazy, and enjoyed both. read more

We were greeted with a friendly smile consistent with the Culture I expected. I had the Pastrami " Special " and it was very flavorful ". My wife had the Smoked Turkey and enjoyed it immensely. Portions are fair for the price and we took some home. Anthony has surrounded himself with caring people serving exceptional meals in a welcoming atmosphere. I have been to two locations and the spirit is present in both! read more

Visited and sat outside on a beautiful Friday. Service was prompt and good. I ordered the brisket with corn pudding & hash & rice for sides. My brisket came out cold, less than room temperature. I don't like sending food back, but since it wasn't even warm, I had to. Our server was very nice about it and brought back and new plate. Everything was tasty. My friend ordered the ribs with collards and potato salad. This was his 1st time at the restaurant. There was a lot of the stems, but he liked the collards. He wasn't impressed with the potato salad, but liked the ribs. read more

Stopped in tonight for the meat and three Monday night special and was blown away! Tonight's special was fried turkey, along with your choice of three sides. The turkey was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy on the inside, with a nice breaded crunch from the fryer on the outside. Paired with their white gravy! Chefs kiss! Every time I have been to Swig, the food, drinks, and service have always been top notch, a hidden gem in Charleston for wings, the peanut butter jelly wings will blow your mind! If you are looking for a consistently good meal, with nightly specials that don't break the bank, be sure to add swig and swine to your list! read more

Swig & Swine - Meat and three, fried turkey, potato salad, collard greens, and corn pudding. - Barbeque Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The O.G. Swig and Swine in West Ashley is a warm and welcoming place that really gives you that neighborhood feel. People here know each other by name, and friends and families come here to relax, unwind and chow down on some great Carolina BBQ. We decided to try some cocktails so my wife, loving spicy drinks tried their Habanero Margarita which I will say as a pro-tip to make sure you stir it thoroughly, so you get that great spicy taste throughout. I went with the Sweet Tea Mojito which was nice and bubbly with the added soda. We ordered twelve wings, mostly to take home for later and of course were totally satisfied. My wife's favorite is the Hot Honey & Blue with sticky and spicy honey with big chunks of blue cheese all over them. My favorite are the garlic buffalo with its bold and spicy flavor that packs a serious heat kick. All their wings are big, plump and juicy and trust me you will not be needing any blue cheese or ranch for dipping, and the smoky flavors stand on their own. My wife ordered the rib platter which comes with two sides, so she chose mac and cheese and baked potato salad. The ribs were wonderfully sauced and meaty. The mac and cheese were very cheesy and unique as they used long penne type noodles over macaroni. The potato salad was nicely loaded with potato in a very creamy sauce. I had to get the three-meat platter, and I chose pulled pork, brisket, and pork belly which also came with two sides, I chose Brunswick stew and corn pudding. The meats were all cooked perfectly but what really blew me away was the pork belly! It was so tender and not the least bit fatty. It almost had the texture of brisket. For the sides the Brunswick stew it was bold with a warming spice level and the corn pudding was loaded with corn providing a sweet reprieve from all the savory. I am enclosing some picture of their specials that are some really great money savers. All in all, a great place to kick back and enjoy some classic BBQ! read more

I saw the Tuesday Special $12 sandwiches on Facebook and decided to try it out. I decided to dine in and was seated immediately. I ordered the Chopped Beef Brisket with potato salad. The sandwich was huge enough to share. The brisket was tender and juicy I dipped my sandwich in Alabama Sauce(banging) and the sweet Red(not to tangy but just the right sweetness). Don't forget to try the pickled pickle on onions on the side. The potato salad complimented the sandwich and was delicious. Restaurant made me feel welcomed with country music playing and Marissa who was my server was friendly and checked in on me often. I will definitely be back to try their chicken and Smashed Burger and other side dishes read more

From someone who has lived in Dallas Texas for six years and has gotten real familiar with barbecue places, this spot definitely peaked my interest.

One of the best bbq joints I've had the pleasure of experiencing, and a must if you're in the Charleston area. Everything was delicious and moist, and I keep dreaming of the hash & rice side. Don't sleep on trying the smoked chicken wings but make sure to share and leave room for the stars of the show - the meats! read more

Lunch was wonderful. Staff pleasant and on point with all needs. It was Sausage Saturday so you gotta have the Sausage!! He had the Hawg Dawg. (Sp?) and beans with brisket. The sausage was a good mix flavor then add all the other toppings!! Wow !!! I had the Big Nasty... and while it was big and messy, it was delicious!! I would definitely have it again. I had the hash and rice as my side.. this is the way hash and rice is supposed to be!!! I ordered a side of pork skins to try all the BBQ sauces.. my favorite was the jalapeno and the vinegar. There was also the white. A good mayonnaise base sauce, classic mustard, a southern tradition and sweet red, a base sauce. All were very good. As you can see in my photos, there was nothing left, so you can tell it was worth the money. The special Hawg Dawg meal $16 The Big Nasty meal $17.25 Sweet tea $3.50 Side of pork rinds $3 read more

I've eared at the Summerville location before, about a year ago. Stopped in here with my two younger kids. We started with fried pickles, and I was absolutely delighted that they weren't the frozen ones served everywhere else, but like a deli pickle sliced and hand breaded. Different and good! I had the smoked brisket plate with hash & rice and vinegar slaw. My son had grilled cheese and potato salad, my daughter had the fried chicken sandwich with mac & cheese. The chicken sandwich looked great but she didn't care for the hot honey on it, but said it was great otherwise. My son loved his grilled cheese but thought the potato salad would be something else for some reason. My brisket was good and I liked the sauce options. Only place in the area with a standard Carolina gold sauce. The hash was actually a bit spicy and I liked it, the slaw was vinegary and sweet. All was good to me and I felt the price was very fair for the Charleston area. Kids liked the banana pudding. Only problem I had was the service. It was great at first, but as a few more tables showed up, I feel my server got overwhelmed because we saw a lot less of her and she juggled other tables. It took a while to get the tables cleared and desserts ordered. Weird thing too, the parking lot is FAR too tight. I struggled to get my car into the back. And right after I did, someone hit another car. This parking lot needs to be 2 feet wider to be safe to drive in! All the same, good food, closest to standard SC BBQ experience in the area.

Meat was considerably better than Lewis. Sides weren't as good as Lewis. Pork Puppies were the best hush puppies we had in SC. Four adults all agreed on this. The family platter was a great deal to try all the meats. Again, four adults with a few little picking at it and everyone left full. The sauces were all very flavorful. Will come back here again for the hush puppies if nothing else. read more

Happy Hour is fantastic here as is there Wing deals on Wednesday. I love this place and keep coming back for more wings. They have the best wings in the lowcountry. Smoked! Dry and get the sauces on the side. Delicious. They also have an unbeatable happy hour with a pulled pork sandwich or sausage and chees plate for $5 each! And they are delicious. Always good service and love the pig ambiance. read more

Charleston does bbq? This is news to me! Swig and swine is one of the more popular bbq spots in the city. Given the fact that I tend to feel Charleston does most food justice, I pause my "keep bbq in Texas" campaign to give it a try. Swig and Swine offers all the bbq classics and sides in a spacious, vibrant setting. Ribs, pulled pork, smoked wings, just to name a few. Service is attentive and the food comes out super quick. Off to a good start! The food itself? Let's start with the good.....that smoked pork belly. Absolutely Devine! Fatty melty goodness. Im a pork belly lover, and In all of my years, I've never ran into a smoked pork belly. One of the most satisfying cuts of meat I've ever had. Unfortunately it goes downhill from here. Baked beans, undercooked and a little too sweet. The grits were served lukewarm warm and tightened up after only a few minutes. And the brisket? The biggest disappointment of the meal. Thick cut, tough, no fat, no distinctive flavor beyond the smoke ring. Sadly one of the worst briskets ive ever had. Swig and Swine left much to be desired. But the smoked pork belly definitely steals the show and makes this a worthwhile trip. I still love you Charleston ! read more

Came here to grab a quick lunch and the food was delicious! We got the pork puppies (amazing!), wings, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and the kids chicken tenders and it was all wonderful! The Mac and cheese and beans with brisket were great! The service was good. Only downside is we forgot to take pictures of the food before we ate it all! Definitely would eat here again, and it is kids friendly and very clean! read more

Tried another location since I'm a regular at the Summerville spot. It wasn't very busy when we went but it did have a slightly different vibe. Our server brought us a GF menu upon request which was nice because I haven't seen that before at the other location. I thought the brisket and pulled pork was a bit dry here but I did enjoy my chicken wings. read more

Great food, great drinks and great service! I have never had a bad meal or experience when dining here. What more can you ask for?

Halie was very helpful with the menu and beer selection. Cute place. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Would recommend!!! read more

My flight home was delayed which gave me time for a quick stop in Charleston for some bbq. I'm so glad I stopped here!! The food was fantastic. Highly recommend the whole hog plate if it's on special. There were many side choices and they all sounded good. Went with the classic Mac & cheese which was outstanding and the collard because good ones are hard to find in New England. Both were excellent. They also have a variety of bbq sauces which were fun to try. But honestly the pork was so moist and tasty didn't even need sauce. Two people next to me had the brisket grilled cheese which looked amazing! The bartender was super friendly and the service was quick. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in the area! read more

Ordered 1/2 lb brisket and 1/2 rack of ribs to go. Brisket was good. Ribs not so much (very disappointing). In fact, they are still in my fridge about to be tossed. This was not my experience in the past but I do feel that ordering to go is a hit or miss. When it's good it's good. When it's bad it's bad. This was bad! Plus the pickled sides that were included looked as if they were salvaged from someone else's leftover plate. Very unappealing! read more

If you like smoked wings, this is a good spot. Parking is easy and it's right off Savannah Highway. They offer several interesting combinations of sauces or you can get them with just the rub (which is really good) and add the sauces on the table. read more

Decided to take a go at this swig and swine location and I'd honestly say it was very good experience. The food. Some out quickly and very very good. Service was of course great and you get a decent amount of food for a reasonable price. I do wish some of the sides were better and the peach cobbler was disappointing but overall pretty good. Definitely a place to try out! read more

This is one of my favorite spots in the CHS area, not just for BBQ but overall. Cons: parking lot is cramped, so you should park at the nearby strip mall and walk over Brisket is of inconsistent quality - sometimes good, sometimes not The sides are all or virtually all sweetened or starchy (not good for low carb diets) The payment terminal does not accept contactless payments, which is a security issue. **This is why I took one star off of my review.** Should stay open an hour later (even with the kitchen closed) - this would get me to come more often Uncomfortable chairs Ribs are just ok here Pros: Restrooms are the right size for the restaurant Best Smoked Turkey and Best Smoked wings I have found in the area Very good pork belly (probably the best around; certainly better than what gets served at Southern Roots) Good sausage Good other smoked pork varieties Very competitive prices Sells meats by the weight Little to no wait for a table or for food, and I've been here probably 40 times in the past 2 years Good weekday specials improve on already good prices Great, knowledgeable waitstaff and preparers Gift cards available at CostCo down the road for 20% off. Strong mixed drinks - they will not cheat you on the alcohol content! In sum, if you want smoked beef, go to Palmira. If Palmira is closed, go to Lewis or Southern Roots. If you want pork, go to Rodney Scott's for ribs or whole hog and Swig and Swine for the pork belly. If you want sausage, they're all pretty good, and Southern Roots may be the best. If you want turkey or smoked wings, go to Swig and Swine (or Rodney Scott's during football season). Overall, for the best value among BBQ restaurants in the CHS, the winner is Swig and Swine, IMHO. read more
