Is there a SC BBQ Trail?

Anyone have any favorite BBQ restaurants?

My favorite is Bon's in Chapel Hill... http://www.bonshomecookin.com/

 

BBQ Lodge in Raleigh, Don Murray's in Raleigh, Spoons in Charlotte, Bubba's in Charlotte, Parker's in Wilson...Just about any place with good Eastern Style NC BBQ, Wilber's in Smithfield...many more I can't recall, Stephens near Benson...

I like Maurice's in SC, interesting mustard based, looks nasty but is very good too.

 

Roger's BBQ in Florence FTW! Anyone has has been there can attest to it... vinegar based FTW!

Mustard and Ketchup based FTL!!

 

Lexington BBQ- with the skin on top!

 

I'm partial to Bills in Wilson. Parkers in Greenville comes in a close second.

To me, the best is Bs in Greenville. They cook their own and it's a mom and pop operation. Get there before 1115 or you cannot find a place to park.

 

I've not been to the Skylight Inn in Ayden recently, but it is always right up there on the best BBQ lists. Another one I like not on the list is Buddy's, a family run place between Kinston and Greenville off Hwy 11. It's really, really good. I hope it is still there, since I'll be down that way in September.

 

Maurice is nowhere near the best BBQ in SC. It's a chain, and chains just aren't good BBQ. The Mustard base is pretty typical for most of the midlands-SC area though.

In the Columbia Area, I recommend Little Pigs and Palmetto Pig for real bbq. Also Doc's is new and pretty good, as well as Po' Pigs Bo-B-Q. I also like Carolina BBQ in Spartanburg.

IMHO, the best BBQ I've ever had was at Duke's in Orangeburg. It's a hole in the wall and only open 3 days/week, but WOW...makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Now I've gotta go get lunch...thanks guys

 

Columbia is in the middle of the mustard belt. Florence is only about 15 miles inside the vinegar belt.... us for the upstate...... ewwwwwwwwww.....

 

How about a good salad place!!!!!!!!

Kidding, I like Lancaster's in Huntersville. Great fried pickles!

Of course, you can't go wrong with homemade Tofu bbq!
