Ehhh it's okay but nothing to write home about 3/4/2009

Okay, here's the thing. I'm from NC and we Tarheels would probably qualify as "BBQ snobs" with our eastern and western styles, but even as a western NC BBQ snob I gotta say that if Bessinger's represents the best of SC BBQ, then it doesn't hold a candle to EITHER of the NC styles. Even the eastern style NC BBQ tops it. If you're from NC and are used to the best of either the eastern or western NC styles, don't waste your time going here-you'll only be disappointed in the BBQ. Pros: quick service, homecooked side items on buffet Cons: bbq is bland, dry, sauce is bland more

Best Bar-B-Que 6/3/2004

Bessinger's has the best BBQ in the Charleston area, hands down! It is much more true to form to his late Father's "secret recipe" than "the other". I would recommend for the food, hospitality, comfort, as well as more like the original. more

My favorite Barbeque 5/25/2004

It's so hard to recommend a barbeque place because everyone has their own preferences, but I grew up in Charleston eating my "Little Joe" (pork bbq sandwich with a mustard based sauce), with steak fries and big, bready, sweet onion rings. Pros: Inexpensive, Good carry out more
