South Carolina BBQ Along I-85: An Exit-by-Exit Guide

SC BBQ Road Trip I-85 Sign

About Our I-85 SC BBQ Restaurant Guide

Driving I-85 through South Carolina takes you across the Upstate from the Georgia line toward North Carolina, with plenty of South Carolina barbecue within easy reach of the interstate. This guide organizes restaurants by exit so you can see what’s nearby as you travel.

We generally include South Carolina-based barbecue restaurants within about 10 miles of I-85 and leave out national chains. Inclusion doesn’t necessarily mean a restaurant is a Destination BBQ recommendation; the goal is to give travelers a useful picture of the local barbecue options along the route.

At the top of each exit section, the highway-sign graphic shows the restaurant and its approximate distance in miles from the interstate. Below that, you’ll find photos along with listing information from the Destination BBQ restaurant directory, including current hours, location, contact details, and other useful information where available. Restaurant hours can change, so it’s always a good idea to confirm before making a special trip.

I-85 crosses the Upstate through an area historically associated with South Carolina’s light tomato barbecue sauce tradition. Those regional boundaries have never been absolute, but they help explain some of the barbecue traditions you may encounter along the route.


Distances in miles are approximate: Use our map for directions to each restaurant.

Interesting Interstate Info

Here are a few interstate highway facts that help explain how the route is numbered:

  • Exit numbers stay the same in both directions. Whether you’re traveling north or south, a given interchange keeps the same exit number, though individual ramps may use letter suffixes such as A or B.
  • Odd-numbered primary interstates generally run south to north. Their numbers increase from west to east, which is why I-85—one of the higher-numbered two-digit interstates—runs through the eastern part of the country.
  • Mile markers reset at each state line. On south-to-north interstates such as I-85, the mileage generally begins at the state’s southern end and increases as you travel north.
