The texture was fine, but the flavor of the sauce was too sweet for me. It did come with a unique square of cornbread, which was really moist and good. - I ordered the wings because they needed the dressing. They came along with it to make the flavor profile. I wasn't a fan of them without the dressing. They were also a little dry. I would give them a 3 out of 5. - The appetizer, the cornbread itself, had a nice butter topping for it. The cornbread seemed to have corn bits in it, which were chewy, but the cornbread was also dry, so I'd have to give it a 2 out of 5. - The empanadas themselves were cooked a little long, but the filling was really good. The flavors of the corn and everything together made it a 5 out of 5. They were a little pricey for two empanadas, but it was the star of the meal. I would definitely say the empanadas are a 4 out of 5 only because of the quantity that you get for the price. - The mocktail that they made was super sour. It needed some simple syrup to tone it down, but flavor-wise, it was good. I would have to give the entire experience a 3 out of 5.

The mac and cheese was creamy, the beans with brisket were both smoky and savory and both the brisket and chicken were tender, juicy and packed with that barbecue flavor you hope for! I was a huge fan of the Alabama white sauce as well! The standout for me was the Nutter Butter pie topped with chocolate. Absolutely sinful and delicious! I also loved the mason jar light fixtures. A fun decorative touch for the laid back environment! We had such a wonderful experience and are excited for the newest concept coming to JZI. We will definitely be back!

In need of a family friendly, late lunch during our trip to Charleston, my wife and I chose Lewis…read moreBarbecue. The restaurant seems quite popular as evidenced by the line at the relatively off hours of Friday at 2:00PM. Fortunately, the queue moved expediently and we were ordering in less than 10 minutes. The service model is standard in that you wait on line, order your meats, and seat yourself. The dining room and outdoor patio at Lewis are very large and provide ample seating. The ambience is clean but still hews classic with wood accents and butcher paper serving as your plate. We ended up sitting at the bar as we wanted to enjoy one of the many well curated local beers Lewis offers on tap. Bonus points for having bar height high chairs for our little one. We opted to sample four meats and three sides. This amount of food proved perfect for the two of us and our hungry 14 month old. All of the meats carried a discernible smoky taste and aroma with meltingly tender textures and ample seasoning. We enjoyed the meaty pork ribs and tender brisket the most, but everything we sampled had merit. The meats do not need sauce, strictly speaking, though you'd be remiss to pass on Lewis' Tex-Mex infused tasty condiments, which complement all of the meats rather well. The sides also were excellent. The justifiably famous sweet and slightly spicy corn pudding acted as the star, with generous helpings of tangy collards and not excessively creamy potato salad rounding out our meal. Our total for food was less that $60, a very decent value for the quality and quantity. While ultimately a counter service joint, the service here was friendly enough both at the checkout and bar to warrant mention. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be doing what they were doing and treated us kindly. Overall, for tasty fare, good value, and warm service, this is an easy 5 star rating for barbecue in Charleston.

On the way from Hilton Head Island to Myrtle Beach with a stop in Charleston, I was so happy to…read morediscover this low country eatery. There's actually a restaurant in Hilton Head that serves Lowcountry cuisine, but we didn't get a chance to visit it, so finding this spot was a real treat. We arrived promptly at 11 am, and while the inside was a bit musty at first, the cool air quickly kicked in and made it comfortable. We wanted to try a variety of dishes, my partner and I decided to share some lunch specials. We went with the Homestyle Meatloaf and Fried Pork Chops, both served with two sides and tea. The sides included collard greens, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and corn nuggets. Gosh, I'm still dreaming about that delicious, home-cooked meal! The service, food, and ambiance exceeded my expectations. It's a charming spot that's definitely worth a visit if you're passing through. I'll be dreaming of that meal for a while =) highly recommend giving them a try!

Roxbury Mercantile is one of those local spots that will definitely keep bringing me back!…read more There's some cool history behind the setting too. The original Roxbury Mercantile was a country store owned by the Barnwell family that served the Edisto Island and St. Paul's Parish communities for nearly 80 years before burning down in 1983. Today, it's been brought back to life as a restaurant but the Barnwell family (yes the same OG family) has kept the old country store feel to it which I loved. The place was PACKED when we arrived for dinner, but we were somehow seated almost immediately. I ordered the Cheshire Heritage Pork Chop (it was sweet tea-brined, hickory smoked and finished with Roxbury Gold glaze) and a side of mac & cheese and butter beans. SO good. The butter beans were a little so so but everything else was absolutely delicious and didn't have a bite left once I through with it. The only detractor was the service. Our server seemed a little overwhelmed, and a few requests were forgotten so we occasionally had to flag down another employee. Nothing that ruined the experience though. Between the history, rustic decor, atmosphere and FOOD, Roxbury Mercantile won me over. I'll definitely be back! If you're a local or in the CHarleston area, make sure to check it out.

My husband and I got the following to share: brisket, beef cheeks, beans, coleslaw and mac & cheese. The meat just melted in your mouth; you didn't even need teeth to eat it! And the sides are not an after-thought here; they made them just as good as the meats! The coleslaw had good flavor/consistency and the mac & cheese was creamy & dreamy. The beans had a Mexican-food-flavor to them and I really enjoyed them. I'm definitely coming back to get more of those beef cheeks and you should too! I would absolutely recommend checking this place out ;)

I've wanted to do the Mingo Point Oyster Roast and BBQ for years now. I always forget to get…read morereservations, but not this year! This year we were able to snag a reservation for the four of us at 4pm on a Wednesday. I was so excited to try this buffet. Yes, it is a little pricey, but I was ready to indulge and make the price point worth it! We got there about 5 minutes early and we were let right in. The kids were given a scavenger hunt where they had to find turtles with letters on them and then unscramble the word. That was very cute and kept them busy for a bit. I went right over to the oyster section where fresh oysters were brought over to high top tables. A lovely worker taught me how to properly shuck an oyster and I felt like a pro. The oysters were DELICIOUS, and I made sure to eat as much as I could as I am the only family member who eats them. The rest of the family spent their time at the BBQ section. I did as well. I had the salad, corn muffins, ribs, roasted chicken, dirty rice (which was A+), and so much more! Oh and I also had the seafood boil. The food is good, but to be honest - with all the other delicious spots for this kind of food in the area it was just not up to that standard. Also, the dessert section was lacking. Mostly pre-made desserts with a little ice cream cart. The kids loved it, but it was just kind of meh for me. I do have to say - I am SO glad we did it. I think it was a great experience. The views were amazing. The whole idea is so very fun. The live entertainment was great. And the staff went above and beyond. It's probably a once in a lifetime thing we will do and that's fine by me! Thank you to the staff and everyone who made Mingo Point Oyster Roast and BBQ a fun experience for me and my family.
