The South Carolina Barbecue Trail Map
(Note: CALL AHEAD. Most of these restaurants are not chains and many are not open daily. Occasionally, the good folks who run these restaurants close early because they’ve run out of food or close altogether to go on vacation or to tend to other business. If you don’t want to make a trip in vain, we strongly advise calling ahead.)
Welcome to the online SC BBQ Trail Map
Above, you will find our interactive South Carolina BBQ Trail Map. It plots out the location of every BBQ restaurant in the state to make it easy for you to find the best SC BBQ joints near you.
But that’s not all!
If you’re looking for something specific like a mustard-based barbecue sauce or a side of South Carolina barbecue hash, our filters will show you the BBQ joints serving exactly what you want.
The SC BBQ trail offers some of the most modern BBQ techniques and can even transport you back to the origins of barbecue itself. But if you still prefer smoking your own barbecue, be sure to check out our BBQ wood-meat pairing guide for insights on the best woods to use for whatever protein you’re smoking.
How does the South Carolina BBQ Trail Map work?
When the map loads, it will ask your permission to find your current location.
If granted, the map will show you the closest 25 SC BBQ restaurants within a 25-mile radius.
Your location will also be represented by a green marker on the map.
If you choose to not allow the map to find your location or if you’re looking for SC barbecue in other areas of the state, then you can enter a zip code or city name into the search field and press the “Find SCBBQ” button.
When you do, the map will then zoom in on that general location and show the restaurants in your search area.
By default, the map will show you the closest 25 restaurants in a 25-mile radius; however, you can change the search criteria to suit your needs using the dropdown selectors.
Restaurant Profiles
In addition, a profile of each restaurant will be listed near the map, sorted by distance. It will include an image of the restaurant itself.
Moreover, if you click More Info on any listing or click on any marker, you will be provided additional information about each restaurant including the following:
- street address
- phone number
- operating hours
- street view
- directions from your current location
To refine your results, you can filter the restaurants using the category filter on the search form.

SC BBQ Road Trip: A Restaurant Field Guide
Yea, the map above is great, but sometimes, it is helpful to look at things in a different way. That’s why we’ve undertaken our SC BBQ Road Trip series.
South Carolina barbeque has a long and special history.
Our BBQ is both varied and abundant. In fact, anyone contemplating a road trip through the state could benefit from a guide to help them find all the offerings on the SC BBQ Trail within 10 miles of one of our interstate exits.
To help our famished travelers, we published a series we call SC BBQ Road Trip. These articles serve as an SC BBQ Restaurant Field Guide that documents all the SC BBQ easily accessible from each of the interstates that intersect our state.
If you love SC BBQ as we do, you will appreciate this guide.
