    Pulled pork & brisket plate w/ green beans and baked beans
    Natasha H.

    Super cute decor and vibes, love the strong lighting. Service was really attentive and food came out quickly, even on a busy Friday night. Food was 10/10. Sauces were delicious. If you're in the area, don't miss this place!

    This place is very spacious. It's a stand alone building with plenty of parking space. It's designed like a barn house inside. With string lights as their main form of lighting. It's nicely done shabby and chic feel. The ceiling looks like it could be an event space. You order at the counter and they serve you at the table. They have two different barbecue sauces, a mustard base and a sweet base barbecue. That's already at your table. You can ask for their flavored vinegar sauce (which is actually very well seasoned) or their extra spicy sauce from the waiter. I enjoyed the spicy barbecue sauce and the vinegar the most. Staff is very friendly and nice. I got the combo platter with ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. With that it comes with two sides and rolls. The brisket was cooked perfectly it was very tender, but held together well. The mac & cheese was very creamy just the way I like it. French fries were lightly seasoned and crispy. Overall, pretty good barbecue place to come try. They have multiple locations as well.

    Jamie is fantastic. Awesome service! As a BBQ "snob" (as my husband says) this place knocked it out of the park. The pork rinds are crunchy and flavorful. The brisket fell apart. The pulled pork had a great bark. The chopped chicken was phenomenal. Our favorite sauces were the vinegar and hot. Overall, if you're in the area, try this quaint little place out!

    Really cool space and excellent food! Large parking lot! You order at counter and then they bring you your meal. No booze but Soft drinks and tea sold.

    SAUCE LIFE! The mustard and vinegar sauce were tied for my personal favorite

    OH.MY.LAWD. My partner and I decided to do a South Carolina road trip and the Anderson/Greenville area was our first stop. I honestly never gave SC much thought for some reason and do I feel stupid. The bbq I had in SC was next level. I've had plenty of BBQ in my life in many places (FL, GA, AL, TX, NC, TN to name some) and I seriously think SC has the best BBQ... Smokin Pigs was sincerely delicious and I am grateful I was in the area on a day it was open. That is the biggest problem with traveling in the state, trying to get to the BBQ places you want when they are open! This place set the bar HIGH. Everything was delicious even the sides. So many sauces. So many yums. They bring pork rinds to the table when you sit down! It's an order at the counter and they bring your food place. Food comes out quick. I wish I could go back now... The brisket and ribs were DIVINE! Texas, this brisket is looking at you. The pork was good but not the shining star. All of the sides were good, that never happens! My mouth is watering

    Chicken and brisket combo with added potato salad, okra, and a specialty soup I forgot the name of

    Occasionally, I like their barbecue and or ribs. It's not a place that I frequent because I don't eat a lot of red meat.

    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.

    Never disappoints!! The meat and sides are legit bbq. Nice smoke flavor, delicious sauce and juicy…read moremeat they get every side right too!! The sweet tea is spot on too. Not overly sweet, but you can taste tea. This place rocks! Our server was great and I like how you fill out your charge receipt AFTER you eat so you can tip the servers appropriately. Can't wait for summer and enjoying the massive outdoor space too

    They never disappoint! Food is delicious, and portions are abundant. I always have issues choosing…read morewhich sides I want because they're all so good! The rib sauce is a must.

    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!
