It’s no secret that some of the best barbecue can be found off the beaten path. Well, the path to Riverside Bar-B-Que is not well-worn.

This small, carry-out barbecue joint offers only a few outdoor picnic tables, but the smell of their vinegar-based barbecue wafting out from the bag will cause you to dig in before you even think of leaving the parking lot.

In fact, the SC BBQ Association named Riverside Bar-B-Que one of the Top BBQ houses in SC. Here’s a little of what they had to say in their review:

Erven and Linda Jones are so nice they make you feel right at home immediately and then they serve you genuine pit cooked mile barbeque to boot. The only thing wrong with Riverside Bar-B-Que is that they don’t have indoor seating.

At Riverside you order from a menu and that menu includes not only do barbeque and ribs but they also chicken and pork chops. They serve two sauces, both vinegar and pepper, but one is hotter than the other. Both are very good. Their sides include slaw, potato salad, butterbeans and all sorts of vegetables in season.

Actually all there is to Riverside Bar-B-Que is the new barbeque pit and the small room where you place your order. There are, however, several nice picnic tables they have built on the property in the old-fashioned style.

When you get there you will also notice that the whole operation is spotless and as neat as a pin.

Georgetown is coastal so, of course, one generally thinks of seafood when they are there, but now that Riverside Bar-B-Que is in business there is real barbeque available, on the weekends at least. You’ve got to try it

In order to reach Riverside Bar-B-Que, turn off of Brown’s Ferry Rd. (51) across from Greater St. Paul’s Church and go all the way to the end. Riverside will be on your right.

Warning: call ahead to make sure they are open. We drove out there once only to find they were closed!
