Lewis BBQ has become a legend in the world of smoked meats, but its story starts with pitmaster John Lewis, who brought his Texas roots to Charleston in 2016. Known for his craftsmanship with fire and brisket, Lewis quickly transformed the city’s BBQ scene by combining old-school smoking traditions with inventive flavors. Word spread fast, and lines began forming daily as food lovers traveled for a taste of his Texas-style barbecue.
The menu has grown from classic brisket and ribs to include creative sides and rotating specialties. What many don’t realize, however, is that Lewis BBQ also has a secret menu—hidden gems known only to loyal fans and adventurous eaters. From off-menu cuts to experimental sandwiches, there’s always something unexpected for those in the know. Still, the star of the show remains Lewis’s signature slow-smoked brisket, a timeless favorite that continues to define the restaurant’s soul.
