Melvin's Barbecue - Charleston

My husband and I had brisket sandwich it was amazing. Melt in your mouth. He and I both got a sandwich,fries and one onion ring. Then order of hush puppies. Yes it was 53.00 but worth it the portions were huge. I took half my sandwich with me. Ate it nextmorning and it was still tender melting in your mouth.

I have tried only about every bbq restaurant in charleston, and (if they are a fan of sc mustard sauce/melvin's secret sauce), nothing compare with melvins pulled pork. the pig is perfectly cooked and the “Big Joe” sandwich, while expensive, contains a hearty amount of meat that makes them quite happy. only reason to not leave 5 stars is that the sides are good, but not “big” for the hefty prizes they charge. Therefore I order in the usually only one single “Big Joe” without side, but it is so daring that it lets me come back.

Great food but get there early they will sell out of high demand stuff like ribs and hash. Loved the food and service was awesome as well.

I have been coming here since I was a kid with my dad and grandpa. They have the best bacon cheeseburger around with amazing steak fries and an onion ring the size of your head. BBQ is good too, but I almost exclusively go for the burger.

Coming from the North, and completely understanding and disliking Carolina BBQ (Vinegar), I opted for a burger and fries. Excellent burger served with well done steak fries. Wonderful lunch!
