Home Team BBQ in Mount Pleasant accommodates every appetite with traditional authentic BBQ, chicken, ribs, and pulled pork.
The Mt. Pleasant location includes a large menu of appetizers, salads, wraps, and tacos. Also, they make down-home, finger-lickin’ sides and tasty desserts.
In addition, Home Team BBQ can help with large party takeout orders and full-service catering with delivery.
They boast award-winning food, fun bar, rustic atmosphere, and great entertainment, including weekly live music and sports on the TVs.
Drop by anytime for a work lunch, casual family dinner, or a fun night out on the town.
At any given time, we are likely to have over 700 lbs of pork butts, 150 racks of ribs, 300 half-chickens, and 800 chicken wings on the pit. Not to mention the corn, peppers, and mushrooms they smoke alongside them.
Home Team’s tempting southern sides could accompany any meal: creamy stone-ground grits, smoked gouda mac ‘n’ cheese, collard greens, baked beans, and hash and rice all are available daily.
With a full schedule of national, regional, and local touring artists performing plenty of live blues, bluegrass, and Americana/rock/country, there certainly is something for everyone.
Honky-tonks and juke-joints found strewn throughout the southeastern United States served as models for each restaurant. In Mount Pleasant, the location itself enhances the experience.
The team gathered artifacts from past Home Team events over the years, as well as, reclaimed materials from barns around the south to create that uniquely Home Team atmosphere.
A passion for music runs deep in the Home Team family.
“We made a special trip to Macon Georgia to pick out a few pieces from the Kirk West’s gallery,” they mention on their site. “Kirk West is a well-known Photographer on the rock music scene after spending over 20 years on tour with the Allman Brothers Band.”
As guests find their seats, they will notice the carefully curated art lining the walls.
The Mount Pleasant restaurant features plenty of oversized picnic tables, several extra large TVs perfect for game day, and lots of room for families to spread out, including cornhole and a chalkboard for the kids.
A 20-foot community table out front is the ideal spot for folks to hang out and grab a drink while waiting for a table or watching the game.
Just inside the front door, a large bar rivaling that of the Downtown Home Team beacons patrons to pull up a stool. The Home Team BBQ Mount Pleasant location boasts the same good vibes, multi-regional barbecue, creative daily specials, and extensive bar program folks have come to know and love.

SCBA Review
The SC BBQ Association, the very organization that trains judges for local BBQ competitions, ranks Home Team BBQ among the elite of BBQ in SC, 100-mile BBQ: BBQ so good its worth driving 100 miles for.
Here’s how they began their review:
What do you get when you take 100-mile barbeque, ribs, and chicken wings then add gourmet mac and cheese, collards, Brunswick stew, slaw, and fun? You get Home Team BBQ, that’s what you get.
Most really good barbeque in the state is served in traditional restaurants or even what we in South Carolina would call a “joint.” It is rare to find 100-mile barbeque in a bar or tavern-style setting.
But that is what you get at Home Team BBQ in Charleston. But it’s better than that, it’s really more like a neighborhood tavern where you go to have a good time, relax and see friends.
It’s just at Home Team BBQ you also get 100 Mile Barbeque to add to that mix.
Note: as the Mount Pleasant location has just opened, these reviews are for their downtown location. We will update with reviews of the new location as soon as they are available.
Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Chester Hollingsworth, author of 206 reviews, gives a great overview of the Home Team BBQ experience:
Two thumbs up , huge dinning area inside and out.
Patio is also dog friendly. Large bar to match the room. There is also a bandstand on the patio for live music.
The food here is awesomely delicious. The dry-rubbed ribs have perfect flavor as is; the sauces will suit whichever type you like.
If you get a chance to visit try the chicken wings for appetizers. You will be happy you did.
Everything was perfect from the time we got there to the time we left. Love it.
Yelp Review
Over on Yelp, Morganne M., a local from Charleston, knows what restaurant to send the tourists to…the same place she goes: Home Team BBQ:
Home Team is a Charleston staple. I’d tell tourists to go here over the tourist traps like Magnolia’s or The Vendue (no offense).
The drinks here are amazing. If you go and don’t get a Game Changer, you’re doing it wrong. They’re basically blended painkillers.
I got the turkey meat plate and the turkey was cooked perfectly. All of the sides are like good ol’ southern cooking. Collards, coleslaw, Mac & Cheese, you know, the works.
My friend got the brisket and I had a bite, the meat was so tender and juicy.
One thing this place is definitely not lacking is flavor. Everything is cooked perfectly and they have all the kinds of BBQ sauces.
The atmosphere is super chill and they have a great outdoor seating area. If you want to watch sports, this is also a super cool place to go.
The one downtown has a better seating area than the one in West Ashley, but they’re both quality places. I love coming here and bringing friends from out of town here over a lot of other places.
