You can call it barbecue, barbeque, BBQ or bar-b-que, but regardless of how you spell it, it you live in the South, you’re going to smell it – a haunting, alluring aroma that seems to permeate the air south of the Mason-Dixon Line. The Charleston area certainly has its share of restaurants that offer their own special version of this ever-so- Southern staple. They are located in new buildings and old buildings, in rural areas and in towns and cities and on major thoroughfares and bumpy dirt roads. But they all have one thing in common: They all offer their customers the prototypical Southern feast. A few of the Lowcountry’s finest follow:
