Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint on James Island
Our new Charleston, SC, location of Martin’s Bar-B-Que is located on James Island, right outside of Charleston proper.
When we open a new Martin’s were always looking for a community vibe in a neighborhood setting. When we decided to open a location in Charleston, James Island felt like a natural fit.
This location provides a perfect spot for local families and visitors to the Charleston area to kick back and enjoy Martin’s Bar-B-Que’s signature West Tennessee-style Whole Hog BBQ.
Martin’s hogs weigh in a bit larger than we typically see in South Carolina barbecue. Martin’s Bar-B-Que smokes them with hickory wood at a low temperature. First-time visitors should give the whole hog sandwich a try — with the coleslaw on top. The “Redneck Taco” offers smoked meat on top of a cornbread hoecake with sauce and coleslaw.
The full menu full of wings, brisket, pulled pork, and ribs can be found online. Take a look around the space here on opening day with Eater photographer Leslie Ryann McKellar.
Just like all of our other locations, we come in at 5 AM every morning and smoke a whole hog for 20 hours over coal and hickory chips.
We aren’t just BBQ. We serve some incredibly delicious smoked wings and brisket. At Martin’s Bar-B-Que, we make all of our sides and pies right here in-house.
