Mutt’s BBQ in Easley

Family Tradition

The idea for Mutt’s BBQ stemmed from a long family tradition in Randy Jones’ family.

His grandfather, on special occasions, especially Christmas, dug an open pit, cut hickory wood, made his special sauce, and presented his family with a whole pig, prepared to perfection. Years later, his son Mutt, desiring to pass along the tradition to his sons, began having “pig pickings” every Thanksgiving.

Friends, neighbors, and family were all invited. As many as 150 still gather on Thanksgiving Day for this special feast.

Mutt was well-known for finding people jobs, and it was on Thanksgiving Day in 1996 when Mutt had the idea that someone should open a BBQ restaurant. The idea became a dream to his son Randy, who had been in the restaurant business for 27 years.

Randy devoted the next year and a half to developing the dream.

With the help of an architect, Randy designed a cozy family atmosphere, complete with trains, murals, and an open fireplace. He borrowed his mom’s recipes, his father’s nickname, and his dream became reality with the opening of the first Mutt’s BBQ in Greer, SC in November 1998.

(Of course, South Carolina’s barbecue scene is packed with legendary joints and hidden gems. See more BBQ restaurants in SC to discover where to go next in the state or find other great BBQ joints around Easley and Greenville.)

What Folks Are Saying

Google Review

Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Jared Smith finds Mutt’s to be excellent:

Love going to Mutt’s with the family. You would think the quality of the food would go down since it’s all-you-can-eat, but I have never had anything less than an excellent meal here!

The ribs are fall-off the bone tender, but I’ve now discovered their smoked chicken and am calling those my new favorite. Prices are reasonable for what you get and the new building brings a great atmosphere.

Would definitely recommend!

Yelp Review

Over on Yelp, Jay P knows a good deal when he tastes it:

We absolutely LOVE this place! The food is amazing, the service is even better.

Yes, it is a buffet, but they keep the food fresh. We tried several items right out of the oven. The greens and the okra and the chicken and ribs are all incredible, but the warm peach cobbler was the star of our meal.

If you are on a budget, the prices are about 10% lower before 5PM.
