Nominee "Melvins Barbecue" - 2025 Best Of the Holy City

About this Nominee

Founded by a WWII veteran, Melvin’s Barbecue is Charleston’s first BBQ restaurant, carrying on a legacy started by his grandfather – the inventor of mustard-based BBQ sauce. As a family-owned tradition, we’ve been serving up slow-smoked ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and mouthwatering burgers. Our meats are always cooked low and slow over real wood smoke, while our burgers are grilled to perfection.
A legacy of flavor, history, and Southern hospitality—come taste the original!
