Tucked away in the heart of South Carolina, Schoolhouse BBQ has been serving smoky goodness since its humble beginnings in the late 1980s. Founded by locals with a passion for whole-hog barbecue and traditional Southern hospitality, the restaurant quickly became a gathering spot for families, travelers, and loyal fans who couldn’t resist the aroma drifting from its pits. Through the years, word of mouth spread, expansions followed, and Schoolhouse BBQ cemented itself as a Lowcountry favorite.
While its menu grew to include fried chicken, seafood, and hearty sides, barbecue has always been the centerpiece. What many don’t realize is that beyond the familiar favorites lies a secret menu—hidden gems whispered about by regulars, offering twists on classics for those in the know. And yet, despite all the growth and change, the restaurant’s original signature barbecue plate still stands strong, a timeless dish that keeps fans coming back.
