Behind a humble storefront on Rolling Hills Circle, Keith’s House of Barbeque smokes with ambition. Pitmaster and owner Keith Myrick blends traditions from Texas, Memphis, and the Carolinas into something personal—what he hopes tastes like that first unforgettable bite at a family cookout.
It’s a place where whole wings carry a touch of Creole heat, rib meat gets tucked into golden egg rolls, and the barbecue is as consistent as it is soulful.
Keith Myrick didn’t grow up in restaurants—he spent years in the automotive industry. But after traveling widely and sampling barbecue across the South, he traded corporate life for the smokehouse, opening Keith’s House of BBQ in 2022.
“As Pitmaster/Owner, I am responsible for overseeing all aspects of the business, from crafting an elevated barbecue experience to managing the day-to-day operations,” Myrick explains. “I work to employ my passion for BBQ with a desire to provide an inviting family friendly environment.”
According to food reviewer Big Dave Eats, “he compiles all of it—Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia—all of that in one.” The goal? Familiar flavor with personal flair, and above all, consistency: “When you get one of his ribs, you get one of his ribs no matter when.”
Keith’s House of BBQ earned regional attention in a 2024 segment of Fox Carolina’s Midday Eats, where Big Dave was won over by the house-smoked meats and creative touches. “Midday Eats is never a joke—we’re only ever bringing you guys the best places to eat,” he said. Describing the ribs, he added: “You look at it wrong and the meat just fall off. That’s how good it is.”
Smoked Meats & Combos
Choose from pulled pork, brisket (chopped or sliced), chicken (dark, white, or mixed), jalapeño-cheddar sausage, or Creole-spiced whole wings. Build a plate or stack up a combo of two or three meats. The ribs—St. Louis cut—took Keith a decade to perfect.
Signature Rolls
Sandwiches & Burgers
Pulled pork, chopped chicken, sliced or chopped brisket served on a bun with one side. Also available: a chargrilled burger with your choice of cheddar or American.
Southern Sides
The list runs deep: baked beans with ground beef, mac & cheese, collard greens, fried okra, slaw, French fries, sweet potato soufflé, potato salad, and two types of cornbread—classic or jalapeño (made without seeds, so it’s flavorful, not fiery). Big Dave singled out the sides for special praise, from the “ooey gooey cheesy macaroni” to “tender as a fair meemaw’s heart” collards.
House-Made Sauces
Six in total: Carolina Gold (regular and spicy), Georgia Red (regular and spicy), honey BBQ, and honey-mustard. They’re served on the side—but as Big Dave notes, “you don’t need them.”
Desserts & Drinks
Banana pudding and seasonal crumbles round out the meal. For sipping, Keith’s sweet tea, lemonade, and Arnold Palmer (a fresh-brewed 50/50 blend) are house staples.
Whether you come for the ribs that fall apart at a glance, the smoked wings with a whisper of Creole, or just that warm memory of backyard barbecue done right, Keith’s House of BBQ delivers a meal rooted in passion, patience, and pit smoke.
Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Karyn Garvin got her money’s worth at Keith’s House of BBQ:
OM goodness this food was delicious!
I had the sliced brisket with Mac & Cheese and fries; my husband had the 1/4 rack of ribs with collards and fries. Everything was hot and tasty, not greasy at all. I like that this restaurant has table service versus having to wait in line at the counter to order.
I also noted how clean the restaurant was as well. We will definitely be back. We spent $50 which included the tip and brought part of our food home for lunch tomorrow. If you are looking to try Keith’s, it’s a great decision!
Over on Yelp, Easley local Norton W. enjoys Keith’s generous portions and attention to his customers:
WOW, real Southern prepared BBQ meats, vegetables and deserts. Service and food are stunningly presented.
Sure there are menu favorites as pulled pork, ribs, chopped briquet, but their sides are ALL unique (generously served) also. For a change yesterday, I just asked for the very reasonably priced 3 whole wings plate. Not only were the wings exceptionally large, but the black peppered smokiness preparation could not have been any finer.
Ambiance is topped off with ‘Keith’ coming out from the kitchen to greet seated patrons. What a nice gentleman! A simple setting which makes for a great convenient meal.
