    If you're looking for the BBQ dive style restaurant shack then this is your place. Walking up I…read morecould tell this was going to be a fun place but it also had amazing BBQ. There is so much space in the front with cornhole boards or just to hang out. When we walked In I could tell this was going to be amazing BBQ. Writing on the walls and chairs, menus board hanging on the wall and daily specials written on chalk boards. Or orders were quickly taken by a very efficient hostess the. We grabbed a seat. I ordered brisket and pork with collards and cobbler. My wife ordered the same with the grits and my son had the side of Mac and cheese with his brisket. The brisket slices were think and it was really well cooked. The pork was awesome but the sides were out of this world. Every single one of them was perfect. There were four BBQ sauces to choose from, Eastern NC style, hot, mild and mustard. I am not a huge fan of mustard BBQ (I'm from NC, IYKYK) but I'll say this was the best I had. The hot was my favorite and it had just the right amount of heat. For those that may be concerned about the description of the writing on the walls and divey spot don't be. The place was clean and very nice. The health rating was great and it was a really nice place.

    This is my second trip to The Smokin' Pig and I have nothing but good things to say about this…read moreplace. Expect a little bit of a wait but they have outdoor cornhole games and putt-putt while you wait. I'm not the biggest fan of brisket when visiting BBQ restaurants but theirs is amazing and I highly recommend it! I learned the hard way on my first visit and my son allowed me to try some of his. The sides are very simple but they compliment the BBQ. Fried okra was fresh and cooked to perfection. The jalapeño cheese grits are unbelievable and a must try! Service was a group effort by several waitresses who took good care of us. If you ever near Clemson, I would definitely make this a stop.

    Overall, the best BBQ in 3 states! I have literally planned vacations around BBQ restaurants in…read moreSC, NC, and GA. I felt pretty dumb when I found the best one right here in Anderson, SC! It isn't just that their BBQ Ribs, Pork, and Chicken are the best around, it is that they do everything else better as well! Ribs: dry or wet, they are spectacular. I prefer the dry just because they aren't as messy and let the flavor of the meat shine, but found the wet ribs freeze and thaw better (and still were some of the best ribs ever!). Chopped Pork: so flavorful and juicy. No sauce needed. Brunswick Stew: the best I've ever had. I drank a quart of it straight from the styrofoam cup. That's why I bought 2 quarts... I bought this entire meal to go, froze the leftovers for 2 weeks, thawed them, and just had a BBQ feast that noone else could touch! Now, on to the appetizers - their potato crisps, nacho chips, and cheese sticks are ridiculous. The portions are over-the-top, and they taste better than anywhere else. Italian and Mexican restaurants have nothing on these! Then you get to the fish and shrimp. Surely a BBQ restaurant can't do seafood well, right? Sadly for the local seafood places...Creekside does it better again! You will never have a tastier piece of fried catfish or shrimp than right here. And that is coming from me after a 20 minute drive home - if I ate it at the restaurant, I'm not sure I could stand it. Everything I've gotten at Creekside has been well above my expectations, no matter how many times I go. This includes their great customer service, as well. I will admit, I've never tried any dessert or anything "green" here, as the BBQ, sides, and seafood are just so good I don't want to waste room on sweets or veggies. If I want a dessert, I'll pour a little bit of their sweet BBQ sauce on a piece of brisket, and the Brunswick Stew has tomatoes, corn, and onions - all the veggies I'll ever need! Seriously though, every other BBQ restaurant I go to makes me wish I had just gone to Creekside instead - you won't find better, I guarantee!

    The BBQ Barn - This sign indicates "Potential Business Hours". We arrived at 5pm and were refused service. Calling first doesn't help either.

    Classic barn. It's outdoors. A shack of sorts. The BBQ was excellent. Great smoke. Tender…read more Lean. Seating is limited. They do have a drive through. This was a great treat on a nice warm day in February. Several of us had brisket and thought it was excellent. One ordered ribs and got a most fantastic looking rack. It's worth trying for both the shack atmosphere as well as the great BBQ.

    Usually I give most of my BBQ places the 1-2-3 punch, 3 tries or your in or out. This place got…read morethe 3rd try and was still in my mind some of the best BBQ I'd had in the area - so I wrote my previous review. Well, after try number 12 or so, I've got a bit more to say on the subject. If you read my previous review it's accurate about 3 out of 5 trips. There are a couple trips where the meat isn't his typical cut, like maybe a whole different source.... or he has the right meat and pulls the meat out to early. In my mind, you don't substitute, period. Once he told me the ribs would be slightly underdone and then got mad at me when they weren't edible AT ALL. Another time, he was to pull the meats off the grill after hours to give to me, then totally forgot about me. On Several occasions, it hasn't lived up to the 5 star I originally gave it and would actually have come in at a 2 star. On way more occasions than I can count, he has been out of at least a few primary items, if not most of them - early in the day. In addition to this, the owner is just not a pleasurable person. I appreciate when a place takes pride in its work and realizes that customer service is 50% of a business, whatever that business may be, if not sometimes 100%. He just doesn't seem to get that. After seeing what happened with Iama C. in his review, it really doesn't surprise me at all, and I wanted to make sure I came back and addressed the consistency/personnel issues in another review. Since making this final discovery about 3 months ago I haven't been back. It will be a while more before I go back. Realize that if you go here, you might get the 5 star experience, or you might get the 2 star experience. I hope it's the prior!
