My partner was looking for BBQ experience at Charleston SC and we chose Melvin's. It is absolutely amazing! The portion size is humongous and we couldn't finish a full rack (12) of ribs and 6 chicken wings between two of us
The smoked flavor was great and the service was super fast with pleasant cre
Had dinner here. Got the pulled pork plate, 1/4 dark chicken plate and six smoked wings combo. Pulled pork was sweet from their sauce mixed in; the chickens were smoked well. The soda machine was broke so had to get either lemonade or iced tea. The sides (collard greens, sweet potato soufflé and
Maurice's to Melvin's.... it's liquid gold in SC. from Columbia to Charleston the Bessinger name is built on BBQ... I grew up eating at Piggie Park in Columbia in the '60s- my dad loved the place while stationed at FT. Jackson. So I've driven by and just hadn't had a chance to give Melvin his shot..
We have found our favorite BBQ place in Mt. Pleasant! The pulled pork plate was phenomenal! We didn't wait barely 5 minutes after ordering and the food came out hot and fresh! Definitely recommend if you're in the area to stop and try them out!
The food is delicious, and they give you more than enough to fill up. I really enjoyed the collard greens, mac and cheese, brisket, lemonade, and banana pudding.
The smoked wings were delicious and they had alot of meat on them so im happy. So, I made a good decision because I'm tire of eating ribs at every at bbq spot I stop at. I will be back for more.
My overall rating is a 8.7/10. For example 7/10 is good. The turkey, cheeseburger, and ribs were amazing. I mean this is the best turkey I have ever had. Also the service was absolutely amazing. This would be a great place to take your family to eat. Also they may have the biggest onion rings ever!
Beloved BBQ in Mt Pleasant and Charleston. Everything on the menu is so good, traditional southern food. I regularly get the vegetable plate. Green beans, butter beans, sweet potato casserole, and Mac & cheese are my favorite. The brisket grilled cheese is heaven in your mouth. The BBQ chicken piece
With Legendary in the name, one already expects a good meal, and the experience did not disappoint. This was my first visit to this establishment of the Bessinger family. Having lived in Columbia for a number of years, I have sampled the menu of Maurice Bessinger, a brother whose style focuses on
We came to get something to eat and the food was delicious. The lady who worked the register was wonderful. Her name’s Marika, hope I remember it correct. She greeted us with a smile, super friendly and knowledgable and was very helpful with offering us what to choose from the menu. She made us feel
EDIT: Melvins continues to be excellent. I usually have go to spots to eat, but this is NOW one of them. Every time I order, it is always perfect. And ill tell you that the staff here, AMAZING. great people all around, I am telling you now this is my ONLY BBQ spot, you can try whatever, but this pla
I had the Big Joe's Pulled pork combo with 2 golden onion rings. The wife had little Joe's pulled chicken combo with mac and cheese, and the kids had the chicken tenders with fries. Everything was awesome. Best BBQ I've had in Charleston.
Very impressed! Stop by passing through, heard great things about this spot. It was so delicious, the meat was moist and pleasantly smoked to perfection & the mustard based sauce is A-1 , fries w yummy seasoning added, the doughnut style onion is so freaking yummy!!, the cornbread is good, gotta hav
I was told about this place from the hotel I was staying at. So I gave it a shot and wow was it worth it! I got the brisket plus two sides and cornbread. I also had the banana pudding. You can see by my photograph how much food that was! I have a pretty big appetite but two people could actually spl
The que is legit. Sides are a mixed bag..the onion rings are huge and almost more like a donut. The sweet potato souffle is delightful. The potato salad with tomatoes in it...maybe not everybody's jar of jam.
Order at the counter and pick a spot - good for a casual bite when you don't have a ton of
This bbq is awesome. No frills dining, but authentic, delicious food. The ribs were great and super meaty. Brisket was delicious and smoked perfectly. Nice and tender too. Hush puppies were great, as was the coleslaw and the potato salad. Sweet potatoes were, well, quite sweet - we prefer them more
We were directed here by a local, and it did not disappoint! Phenomenal food by itself (as all good barbecue should be), but the sauces are also delicious! I really loved the golden barbecue sauce. Emeril also seems to be a fan, so... Can lose! Oh, and if you sit by the windows on one side, you can
My first time at Melvin’s. A very nice experience. I got the 1/2 rack of ribs with the tomato based sauce. I also had two sides which were fries and baked beans. All of the food was good. They even give you some cornbread which I enjoyed. That is saying something for someone who does not care for co
