4 american bbq places in Greenville we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Greenville | American Bbq across every city.
Upstate South Carolina barbecue leans on slow-smoked pork and a sit-down roadhouse style rather than a single sauce orthodoxy. Henry's Smokehouse on Wade Hampton Boulevard is one of the area's longest-running pits, while Mac's Speed Shop brings a louder bar-and-bike room to South Main Street in the West End. Between them they cover the city's two main barbecue moods, the neighborhood smokehouse and the late-night hangout.
