About Lewis Barbecue Charleston

Lewis Barbecue Charleston is a barbecue restaurant in Charleston, SC. The establishment serves true Central Texas-style barbecue, featuring cut-to-order meats such as sliced and chopped USDA Prime beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey breast, pork spare ribs, and housemade sausages including Texas hot guts and green chile cheddar. The menu also includes sides like creamy potato salad and tangy coleslaw, along with extras such as pickled jalapeños and fresh brioche buns. Customers can order take-out or request off-site and on-site catering. The restaurant holds a rating of 4.80 based on 8,147 reviews.

The restaurant was founded by John Lewis, who moved to Charleston in March 2015 after working in the competition barbecue circuit and helping open Franklin Barbecue and La Barbecue in Austin. Lewis is known for welding his own custom-designed smokers and tending the fire early in the morning to ensure high-quality results. The dining experience includes ordering at the counter, a large bar, and a backyard patio. The business has been recognized for culinary excellence and value by the Michelin Guide.

The location sits on North Nassau Street, about a tenth of a mile from Morrison Drive and Meeting Street. It is approximately a tenth of a mile from the NoMo neighborhood and about a fifth of a mile from Eric Cornelius Singleton II Park, Meeting Street Academy, and the Charleston Apple Museum.

Lewis Barbecue Charleston stands among the strongest in its category locally, with a strong local reputation reflected in consistently high customer ratings. This standing is built on the specific quality of its Central Texas-style meats and the dedication of its founder to the craft of barbecue.
