About Us
The First Family of BBQ
The Bessingers are the first family of barbeque in South Carolina, known for their legendary mustard-based barbeque sauce, a Carolina classic since the 1930s. By keeping the business in the family and taking a hands-on approach to managing the restaurant, Thomas Bessinger and his sons, Tommy and Michael, have maintained a warm, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere that welcomes customers and makes them feel like they’re part of the family.

Great food! Service was beyond amazing. Sit down or drive through BBQ place. Their sweet hickory sauce is now one of my favorites. There is an app you can download for ease of ordering. Fair portions for the price. Stopped in because someone else posted a picture of the ribs, and they did not disappoint. I’ll be coming back any time I am in Charleston

Very homestyle, rustic BBQ joint. When I think of BBQ this is the place I think of. The food was fantastic! A new favorite for us here in Charleston. I highly recommend getting a “plate” meal so you can try some sides. One plate is really enough to feed 2 people. Can’t wait to go back!
