Pitmaster John Lewis brought the best-ever brisket to Charleston by way of Austin, and it’s been a hit since day one.

Delicious Texas BBQ brought to SC by John Lewis. Try his Beef 'n Chedder sandwich and check out the massive, custom-made smokers while you're there. Indoor, bar, or backyard patio seating all year-round and no reservations required.
