Established in 2010, Pop Pop’s Pit BBQ was founded on a passion for food, family, and affordability. Gaining its name from the owner’s beloved grandfather, Pop Pop’s is the place to stop.

We have a hidden gem in Pop Pop’s Pit BBQ. This BBQ joint is off the beaten path on Highway 707 in Myrtle Beach, but if you love BBQ, it is worth the drive.

A family-run barbecue restaurant, Pop Pop’s smokes its meats slow and low so it will be tender and juicy. Pulled pork, BBQ ribs, and the very popular hand-breaded, fried-to-order chicken are just a few of the mouthwatering offerings.

Every order at this BBQ restaurant is filled with quality and quantity as Joe, owner and founder, loads each plate high with heaping servings of handmade recipes.

Hailing originally from Maryland, Joe brought his knowledge gained from BBQ giants in the area and brought it down south, along with his beautiful family.

For example, Pop Pop’s cooks their barbecue using oak and applewood to smoke with. This is a classic Maryland combo, but it is not uncommon in South Carolina, either.

What’s on the Menu?

Pulled pork and chicken are the best sellers. Their ribs are St. Louis cut. Pop Pop’s trims the ribs and run Rib Tips as daily specials. In addition, they cook traditional Texas brisket on Fridays and Saturdays.

Be sure to try the rice or tater tot bowls. They are special.

Likewise, the fried chicken is amazing. Hand-butchered and dredged in their top-secret flour mix. Then, Pop Pop’s hits it with a coat of dry rub when finished.

In addition, they offer fried fish and shrimp. All sides are homemade. There is no SC BBQ Hash on the menu, but you will find another SC staple, chicken bog.

Come by and take a picture with the world’s first and only 1965 Chevy C30 smoker truck!

In short, Pop Pop’s Pit BBQ is a delicious experience for the whole family!
