Home Team Bbq - Charleston

Almost back-to-back are Home Team BBQ and Lewis Barbecue. Each has its proponents in Charleston. Lewis is better at the meat and gives huge servings. Home Team is better at the sides. At Lewis you have to stand in line and order at the counter whereas Home Team has table service. Lewis is beer wine while Home Team has a very large, full bar. I wish that I could get the better points of each.

I’ve tried a decent amount of the bbq joints in Charleston and Home Team is definitely my favorite. They have incredible sauces, wings, pork bbq, and ribs. Have to admit that Lewis’s brisket is a tad better, however, Home Team gets so many things right and is definitely worth checking out.Side note- If they are serving chicken cracklings as a special, GET THEM. You’ll thank me later!

Down home vibe with cool outside patios. Super friendly staff and amazing food! You have to try the fried pigskin app, served with pimento cheese for dipping! Awesome! I had the pulled pork platter with two sides. It was a healthy portion and could have fed two! Excellent tap and bottle selection of beer. Tops on list for our return trip!

I really like this place. Nachos are good. Pulled pork is good and that’s my go to. My first visit i did a wrap and it was mostly rice beans. I give restaurants 3 tries. I’ve been 5 or 6 times now. Just wish everything was hotter when served. Even If its 90 degrees I want a hot sandwich. Its doesn’t stop me from going i just feel hotter tastes better. The hostesses are always nice and service is fast priced well. The other location serves hotter meals. WA needs to work on that.

I'm around 1 o'clock with a friend to lunch here. they had immediate sitting outside, but we decided to wait 10-15min for a sitting inside (it was like 95 degrees outside the staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered two slides pulled pork and brisket and side of crooked greens. wait for dinner. the slider came on kings Hawaii rolls with claws and pickles. both tasted brilliant. the brisket was right. wet, tender. inlaid pork also on place. the greens were good, but for my tastes it went a bit over on the vinegar. my friend got her house specialburger and said it was excellent. I also tried some dead people who were good. they even offered us a beverage refill to go, which was cool. my sliders were $6 each. I don't know that some might think that this is a little at the top, but I've always expected to pay a little more for bbq. great meal. would definitely return.
