“The 1st Family of Mustard-Based Barbecue!”

A South Carolina tradition since 1939, Melvin Bessinger’s Bar-B-Que Restaurants are beloved and famous for the best St. Louis style pork ribs, chicken and “All Ham” Bar-B-Que in the South.

But don’t take our word for it, come on down and experience the flavor at either our Mount Pleasant or James Island location.

We serve pulled pork BBQ, cooked 24 hours on hickory wood coals!
Voted Best in Charleston for 10+ years!
Our Cheeseburgers are the best in America according to Emeril Lagasse and People Magazine
Ribs and Brisket are incredible, too!
Our Onion Rings look like big golden donuts – and taste so good! They come in “Baskets” and people crave them!
More than ten Southern sides to enjoy
Hand Spun milkshakes as well!
