It was just after 12 noon and by some miracle we only stood in line about ten minutes. The rush came in shortly after although I will say they handle the crowds beautifully. When it comes to barbecue, I am a pulled pork girl and I have lived in Texas! I don't hate on brisket, but none of it has bowled me over. Until today. Once again, I wasn't ordering so I just went with the flow. That chopped brisket sandwich was so moist and full of flavor that it did not need a DROP of barbecue sauce. I did use the sauce to dip my fries in. I don't often eat macaroni and cheese although I do love it ( my hips don't!) but I had to try it or risk the wrath of my lunch companions. It was delicious! The best I have had in a restaurant. Collards were fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the rustic setting and certainly the company. They can choose dining spots for me anytime!

We stopped here while visiting Charleston. My husband saw many good reviews and we had high hopes…read more In the business description it reads "tender brisket" and "rich mac and cheese". That's only half true. The mac and cheese was incredible! I am still drooling over it. Nice crust on top.. so yummy. Now, I had the brisket because sometimes pork doesn't agree with me. I wish I would've just taken an antacid and had the pork. I ordered the sliced lean brisket. It was not as tender as I would think and a little on the dry side. My husband had the pulled pork and our daughter had the pulled pork sandwich. Both raved about it. I had a bite of the sandwich and instantly regretted my meat choice. We ordered a pint of the mac and cheese, which was amazing! We also order a side of the tallow fries. Those were delish as well. The line was super long but they did a good job at moving it along. We sat outside at the patio since we had our pup with us. Great place to check out when visiting Charleston but I would encourage you to try the pork over the brisket.

OMG, deliciousness!…read more Found the gem on Instagram and had to check it out for myself...they did not disappoint! Ordered the chopped beef to go with crispy tostadas and the fixings and a side of mac n cheese. Everything paired nicely together from crunch, to depth of flavor with a nice sauce. Mac and cheese was large and tasty, well done. Definitely a place to check out if ever in the area! I'd go back for sure.

Staff was busy, friendly, and kept the lunch rush moving. Our main (constructive) feedback would be to 1) add weights and/or amounts to the (big board) pricing menu and 2) present customers with a heads up on the "fixins" that cost extra (e.g., cilantro and fried shell). Our (pictured) tray was $52 without a drink. Had we known that 2 ribs cost $15, we would have quickly pivoted to another meat.

It is the quintessential BBQ joint with a fun adidas flare. You don't know whether you're down south or in Chinatown. We started with some beer and ordered the hush puppies and fried ribs. It was a great way to start! They were both delicious. Three of us went with the pork combo and one of us had the duck service. I don't want to forget the sides! The sides!!! These may have stolen the show for us. The red beans and rice, the slaw, the Szechuan collards, oh my!!! One was better than the next! None of us were disappointed! This is truly an Asian take to southern BBQ. The food is great. I've been to their sister restaurant, JackRabbit Philly and that's definitely more my speed and taste preference, both places are a must try though.

I am so very picky about where I eat and make sure to check food scores often but Martin's had an excellent score which put my mama heart right at ease! When we pulled up in the bus it was the cutest place! This is top notch BBQ. My daughter and I both got the BBQ sandwich with Mac and Cheese, green beans and a small side of coleslaw. The BBQ sandwich was bussin' no cap, y'all! So good! The Mac and cheese was tasty as well with corkscrew noodles with a white cheese sauce and the slaw was surprisingly delicious I ate my kiddos slaw too! lol! I could have done without the green beans they were prepared very southern but that's just my personal taste my friend and fellow chaperone loved them! I was so impressed with the team at this restaurant they knew we were coming 32 kids, 16 parents, 4 teachers and they worked like a well oiled machine no rushing around, no panicking, no delays, just a fully prepared team ready to help our party plus their regular crowd with smiles and friendliness even though they were busy. We had a great experience at Martins and will be recommending it to everyone going to Charleston from now on!!

Substantial portions although the brisket burger and catfish sandwiches are not so big with price to match. The brisket burger in appearance looks just like a hamburger as the meat is minced.

While I enjoy a good sauce, the hush puppies sauce tasted like a spicy duck sauce. Everything else was amazing! I still would recommend this place for anyone visiting Charleston:)

Greens were fresh, nice mix of toppings like corn and tomatoes, and the pork was smoky without being too heavy. The toast underneath soaked up some of the juices which worked really well.

Not trying to be anything fancy, just really good BBQ and sides done right. Would definitely come back, especially for an easy outdoor lunch.

Sausage is ok, and likes the chicken when he is in the mood for it. He hasnt had anything there that he doesnt like. I loved the turkey, baked beans and Mac n cheese. Our Hurricane drink was pretty delicious( with part of the proceeds goes to a charity for that one particular drink). The server was polite and friendly. They smoke and bbq all the meats right out back of the restaurant so the food came out quick, fresh and amazing! I personally loved the Mustard and Sweet Red sauces while my husband prefers the slight heat of the Jalapeño sauce . The recipes for the sauces are hanging up on the walls as part of the decor. The only thing i could knock them for is the bathroms were a little dingy. Not really super dirty, just needs some updating with new tiles and paint. Overall great place and we will definitely will be returning!

However, I feel like we've had better barbecue up north than we did here... We ordered a brisket plate + a pork belly plate to share with mac & cheese, grits and corn pudding.

I'm giving two stars for the sides & sauces being pretty good but that's about it. I don't know the area but I'm sure you can find better meats elsewhere :(
