Lewis Barbecue

Lewis Barbecue "Meat" John Lewis, a master of barbecue and founder of Lewis Barbecue in Charleston, SC.
(5009)

The first thing you’ll notice when you pull up to Lewis Barbecue are the massive, custom-made smokers, welded by the pitmaster himself. Inside you’ll order at the counter, where John Lewis is slicing up true Central Texas barbecue, cut-to-order. We also have a huge bar and backyard patio to keep you entertained year-round.
