    I went up to the truck to order and the girl was rude so I walked off. I have heard their food is very good but I won't be trying it.

    When will the new Mauldin location be opening? My husband and I are from Dallas-Fort Worth and haven't been able to find any AUTHENTIC Texas brisket locally. We're very anxious to come visit and give your brisket a taste!

Right away, the service stands out. We were greeted and immediately offered a sample of brisket, which set the tone. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the ordering process has a really smooth, well thought out flow that keeps things moving without feeling rushed. We sat on the covered patio, which was clean, comfortable, and a great place to enjoy a meal. Now, the food. This is where it really shines. I'm a bit of a BBQ aficionado, so I'll be a little nitpicky, but none of this takes away from how great it was overall. The brisket was phenomenal. We tried both lean and fatty--both were excellent. If I had to critique anything, it leaned slightly salty, but the bark, smoke, and overall flavor were outstanding. The pulled pork was just as impressive. Tener, moist, and packed with flavor, with no wasted bits. The Texas sausage was incredibly flavorful, though slightly on the mealy side texturally. That said, the green chile cheddar sausage was an absolute standout. Loaded with flavor, chiles, and cheese. A must-order. The sides were the only area that didn't quite keep pace with the meats. The beans were a bit undercooked and lacking depth of flavor. The slaw was fresh and well-balanced, but not particularly memorable. The corn pudding was solid, but again, nothing that stood out. The sauces also deserve some recognition. All four were fantastic, each with its own unique profile. Honestly, I could've just sat there sampling them on their own. They paired perfectly with different meats and added another layer to the experience. Overall, this is an incredible BBQ spot. While it may not quite reach the level of some top tier Texas joints, it absolutely rivals them and stands out as one of the best you'll find outside of Texas.

    I eat a lot of BBQ from all over the country. So when SBH was recommended to me in Greenville, I…read moreheaded on over at the first opportunity. It was lunch time and I wanted to try a few different things to see what they were doing here. I got a brisket sandwich, which was ok (I did not discern any smoked flavor) but the portioning was underwhelming. The cheese did not add anything to the sandwich. I also ordered a hot link and I ended up adding several slices of the link to the underwhelming sandwich to give it some substance. And lastly, I ordered a mac & cheese eggroll - ok, but nothing special. This was a take out order and I got the hot BBQ sauce, which was pretty good. Overall, the BBQ here is just middling and I've had much better. Maybe some of the other menu options would change my mind, but doubtful I'll return. One other item of note - this business will add on a 2% hospitality tax, a 2.5% take out tax and a 2.99% credit card surcharge to your bill (if you pay by credit card). I don't know if these additional taxes are manditory state or local taxes, but I would presume so. When the anti-tax morons scream and cry about property taxes and income taxes, this is what you end up with. And everyone is adding credit card surcharges now, so no surprise there. There is of course an additional sales tax added on the order, which I presume is the standard state sales tax. For those of you who are mathematically challenged, there is also an handy Suggested Additional Tip chart at the bottom of your receipt, if you are so inclined. It's based on check price before discounts and taxes and will tell you so.

    As a declared and self-ordained brisket snob from Texas I've been asked if there are any good…read moreplaces for it in South Carolina. The answer is a resounding "yep" and my favorite is Bobby's BBQ. On a recent visit to Greenville my wife and I made a side trip here, SO worth the stop. This is truly great brisket! Seasoned, wood-smoked, moist and flavorful. So tender it can be cut with a fork. Meat candy goodness. Is it supposed to be so dark? Absolutely, the servings are NOT burnt. There's a wonderful bark on this brisket which comes from a generous seasoned rub, low heat and a lot of TLC. Is it supposed to be fatty? You bet. Brisket is a tough cut of meat and fat provides tenderness, moisture and flavor. This ain't fine dinin' but the service from the counter is always welcoming and helpful. There is indoor and outdoor seating if you'd prefer to stretch your legs and eat here instead of waiting for the long drive home. The sides and sauces are very good as well. I love the Sweet Potato Crunch and the tangy OG Sauce is as good as any Texas Hill Country joint offers. (Sorry, I have no food photos. We got this order to-go and I didn't want to mislead anyone with shots of dinner on our deluxe paper plates.)

We each got the sandwich combo (meat of your choice, 2 sides & a drink) and some smoked sausages. The turkey was amazing, as was the brisket and pulled pork! The sausage is some of the best we've ever had. My sons loved the mac 'n cheese and I loved the coleslaw and sweet potato casserole. There's plenty of seating, both inside and outdoors. The vibe is very family friendly and welcoming. They had seasonal blackberry & peach cobbler on the menu, but it was sold out that evening. My husband returned the following day to get some (and a couple more sausages). The cobbler was worth the wait! Staff is personable and friendly! We will definitely be back!

Order at the counter and they hand it to you and you take it to the table. No table service. Now for the food. Four pulled pork plates and a 1/2 chicken plate. I had one of the pulled pork plates with cucumbers salad and their sweet potato crunch. For those that don't know I am a bbq snob. We have smoked many a pound of pork. This pork was ok. It was however chopped which does change the taste. Also it was a bit dry and had gristle. I had several large pieces of gristle on my plate but the others did not. Could be due to I was the last one. The sauces were a yellow and a ketchup based. Actually mixed them and found them to be good. I usually do not like the mustard sauce. Mixed it worked well. The cucumber salad was very good and was given in abundance. The sweet potato crunch also surprised me and was delicious also. Now the sweet tea was absolutely naughty. Wow it was so good. Over all not a bad meal. Bbqing for a large operation is tough and my old school way would not make production so I have to take that into account. Typical old school BBQ joint with long tables and order at the counter. You will leave smelling smoky no doubt. Plenty of parking except right at the rush.

They have a rotating draft list and the beer I had was perfect with my meal. We started with the wings from the appetizer menu which is one of my absolute favorites from Home Team. The rub is super flavorful and the Alabama white sauce that serves with it is so good. Highly recommend that you try it! We split a two meat platter with a half rack of ribs and pulled pork for the meats and mac and cheese and greens for the sides. I love Home Team's pulled pork. They have a variety of sauces on the table for you to eat with your meat, from mustard to peppered vinegar to hot sauce to several typical BBQ options. The sides were delicious as well. The mac and cheese is super cheesy and creamy. The portions are generous so you'll likely end up with leftovers!

It's right across the parking lot from Double Stamp brewery and they share the outdoor area so you can get beer from the brewery and sit outside and also order food from Home Team BBQ, which is what we did. It was in between meal times so we shared nachos which was excellent. Even though there were a lot of people, food came out quickly (they give you a buzzer and you do have to walk inside to pick it up). There was a good amount of meat and all the sauces/salsas were flavorful. Would definitely go back and try more food!
