Spartanburg BBQ and Upstate Hash

Spartanburg sits in a part of South Carolina where hash has long been part of the barbecue plate. Around the Upstate, you’ll often find beef-based hash served over rice alongside pulled pork, ribs, chicken, Brunswick stew, and the usual lineup of Southern sides.

You’ll also find plenty of variation from restaurant to restaurant. Some places lean toward older Upstate traditions, while others serve brisket, smoked wings, or a broader mix of modern barbecue. This directory is meant to show you the full range rather than rank one style or restaurant above another.
