Black’s Smokehouse ***Permanently Closed***
“Always Smokin’…Fresh”
Founded in 2013, Black’s Smokehouse in Seneca is among the finest places to get real smoked BBQ in the Upstate of South Carolina.
Great BBQ starts with great meat, and Black’s uses only local, farm-raised, organic meats for the best taste and texture. Then they slow smoke the meat over real local hardwoods for hours to make sure it has that tasty smokehouse flavor.
Among other things, Black’s serves:
- Pulled Pork (butts cooked over 100% hickory; no charcoal)
- St Louis Ribs
- Brisket
- Chicken
- Hot Smoked Sausages
- Rib Tips
- Burnt Ends
- Smoked Turkey
Like BBQ sauce on yours? It won’t be necessary, but if you insist, they have some great options.

Black’s Smokehouse makes several flavors of homemade BBQ sauce. They offer vinegar-based, mustard-based, and both light and heavy tomato-based sauces.
All of their sides are made fresh as well for a great smokehouse experience. Their side options vary but you can regularly expect to find slaw, potato salad, two types of mac n cheese, and the ever-popular baked beans.
All their meats are smoked daily, so you’ll know it’s always fresh. But when Black’s sells out and that is much of the time – they’re out until the next day. You can call in your order ahead of time and reserve any of their menu items.
And if you’re going to Clemson for a football game and planning a tailgate, you can’t go wrong with Black’s Smokehouse. They’ll make a custom tailgating package just for you.
What Folks are Saying
Google Review
Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Christopher Cox shares a warning about Black’s that is worth heeding:
The BEST BBQ in the area. Love the chicken, ribs, and grits.
They have a variety of sides and desserts, too. You can eat in – doesn’t look like much but the food is amazing. Have been there 3 times and can’t wait to go again!
They do a lot of takeout business and make limited quantities so if you want some the 3 days they are open, call ahead and reserve or takeout. Otherwise, you’ll end up visiting and finding the place closed.
Yelp Review
Over on Yelp, Shane B reports that Black’s Smokehouse is the place to go for great barbecue for both locals and visitors:
This place is unbelievable! We are in town for the weekend from Atlanta and always come to Blacks.
We wanted to come for dinner but called and knew they were getting low. We wanted to go so bad so we went in around 3:45 and all got pulled pork sandwiches. Kim, the owner, knew I was indecisive about my choice, so she gave me 6 free smoked wings and suggested the Sriracha Honey sauce, which was incredible.
The sandwiches were HUGE and the meat was delicious. Sauces are great too. Easily the best pulled pork sandwich I’ve ever had.
Loaded potato salad and bacon mac & cheese were delicious.
Staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. We asked her about their desserts and Kim brought us a free banana pudding, which was also amazing!
Blacks is a must-visit for locals and visitors.
