Went here for dinner on Saturday night. We had a really good meal and great service. The Pulled Pork with South Carolina sauce was delicious! I was also impressed with the fries — normally I hate steak fries because they aren’t crispy on the outside - these were literally perfect. The Brisket was really well smoked, with a nice charred edge and super tasty. The Mac and cheese was good but the focus of this meal was the meats and they definitely delivered!! The lemonade was really good!l As was the iced tea. The banana pudding has potential (real bananas and good wafer to pudding ratio) but the custard was a little too bland, and the topping doesn’t hold its flavor either. Overall we were really happy we went here and are looking forward to coming back.
The brisket sandwich was amazing!!! The collard greens, fries, onion rings and banana pudding were also delicious. The pulled pork sandwich was decent, but fell wayyyy short when brisket is an option. Staff was friendly and helpful for a couple of visitors from the "far north" (Wisconsin)
Some of the best BBQ we've had anywhere on our travels! We tried the Pit-Master Plate to get a sampling of everything they had to offer. It was WAY more food than two people could every eat, but we had plenty of tasty leftovers for later in the week. Everything was cooked to perfection; I particularly enjoyed the smoked wings (the rub was delicious) and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, yet crispy. These guys have some of the best sauces we've every had, so we walked away with a gallon of the Sweet Red for home consumption. If you're ever in the Charleston, SC area, don't miss this historic gem!
90$ for 3 people to go with no drinks...Food was nasty... dry brisket.. oversauced mushy chicken and pork
We ate here on a short visit to Charleston. I wanted to have some of the barbecue that South Carolins is known for, but kept finding trendy places with pit masters from Texas. Don't get me wrong! I am from Texas and live in Atlanta, so I love some Texas barbecue. But if I'm in Rome, then I'm not going to eat pizza from New York. I wanted some Lowcountry barbecue with some mustard based sauce. Melvin's did not disappoint! My husband and I split the 2 meat plate with pork, brisket, baked beans, fried okra, collard greens, and cornbread (I got an extra side and an extra cornbread). I had to sample all of the sauces. I really enjoyed the mustard sauce, but my husband preferred the southern red sauce. What was realyl impressive was the brisket rub. It had so much flavor, that the sauce was not necessary. It is probably some of the best brisket and rub we have ever had. I will be purchasing some of that rub in the future to use at home. The baked beans and okra were good. I would say the okra was probably a little squishy, but comparable to many other places. I did like the pickle bar. I love pickles and pickled onions, so I did stop there a few times to pickle up. The only real cons were minor. We had to clean our own table. They did not seem super busy, but I think that they hadn't made it out to clean a free table yet. They forgot our cornbread (why it's not pictured). I had ordered a second piece so that we both had one, but I should not have bothered. It was not very good. The collard greens had some great spice to them! The flavor was fantastic, however, they were way too salty. I love collard greens, and it is hard to get really good ones. I was a little bummed because these had such a good amount of flavor and heat, but the salt was just too heavy. Overall, I would say this place has some of the best brisket ever. I would definitely come here again if ever in Charleston, and hopefully the collards would be perfect that time.
