KC Mike’s Smokin’ History

In 2015, Mike and Nancy moved from Kansas City to Beaufort, South Carolina.  After getting settled, Mike just knew the people of his new community would enjoy his wonderful Brunswick stew.

With this belief, KC Mike’s Smokin’ was born.

They were content selling their Brunswick stew to their neighbors in the Lowcountry, but that wasn’t the end of the story.

Their customers began urging them to sell smoked meats, too.  So KC Mike began to offer pulled pork, beef brisket, chicken, and baby back ribs.  Their customers loved it and then asked KC Mike to sell them just a little lunch, too.

By this time KC Mike had opened his Maritime Center location at 310 Okatie Hwy, so he began to offer lunch.  The business grew until their customers wanted more than their little smoker could provide.

Just after Christmas 2017, Mike and Nancy decided to open a restaurant location with a great big smoker.

On April 14, 2017, KC Mike’s Smokin’ restaurant first opened with a smoker big enough to keep all their customers happy for a long time to come.

For now, this current location keeps them plenty busy, but stay tuned…the story will continue.

The best Brunswick Stew you have ever tasted!

Their goal is to make the best Brunswick Stew you have ever tasted.

KC Mike’s version is a hearty stew made from smoked pork butt, smoked beef brisket, and smoked chicken breast as well as vegetables and seasonings in a tomato base.  They offer it as a side, in pints, or in quarts. 

All the meats are smoked before grinding to give our stew a rich aroma and deep flavor that just has to be experienced.  BBQ in a cup!  

Brunswick Stew is a hearty and filling meal by itself or may be served over rice, grits, potatoes, or pasta.  

Hot buttered cornbread on the side complements the stew’s flavor.  

What Folks are Saying about

Google Review

Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Ivy Sheppard and her husband enjoyed everything they tried:

My husband and I have traveled across the country and this was the best BBQ we ever had!

We both had the sampler platter which had a lot of food. 3 meats and 2 sides. We both had ribs and brisket but my husband had beef sausage with baked beans and mac and cheese.

My 3rd meat was pulled pork with potato salad and collard greens. We also added a half a pound of burned ends which was smokey and juicy.

Everything was DELICIOUS!!

Compliments to the chef Mike and Ms. Nancy who ran the front of the store! We will return!
