That’s how Google reviewer Hannah Stevenson described SouthSide BBQ & Hash, and that pretty well captures the first impression many folks seem to have of this Greenwood barbecue stop.
SouthSide BBQ & Hash keeps its focus right there in the name: barbecue and hash. The menu covers pulled pork, ribs, rib tips, brisket, chicken stew, and South Carolina hash served over rice, with plenty of sides to round out a proper plate.
This is the kind of small-town barbecue place where the menu stretches beyond sandwiches and plates, but never loses sight of the basics.
Hash, Chicken Stew, and Carolina Comfort
Hash is not treated like an afterthought here.
SouthSide offers hash as part of its regular menu and also sells it in bulk, a good sign that folks are taking it home for family meals, ball games, church gatherings, and supper later in the week.
Several customers call it out specifically. Stevenson wrote, “The barbecue and the homemade sauce are both amazing. The hash over rice and apple cobbler are both amazing.”
Chicken stew gets similar treatment. It appears alongside the barbecue meats and is also available by the quart, giving SouthSide another old-school comfort food that feels right at home beside pulled pork and rice.
Pulled Pork, Ribs, Brisket, and Rib Tips
The barbecue side of the menu centers on pulled pork, ribs, rib tips, brisket, and fried rib bites.
Plates can be built around one meat with one, two, or three sides, while sampler platters give diners a broader taste of the menu. Sandwiches, tacos, and loaded fries offer a more casual route through the same smokehouse lineup.
Google reviewer Robert Hall called SouthSide “a quality small town local bbq joint,” adding that the pulled pork, rib tips, hash and rice, collards, and mac and cheese made for “good quality bbq” with “great” smoke and seasoning.
Melissa Evans, visiting from Anderson, praised the brisket and pulled pork, writing, “Best impulse stop we’ve ever made for bbq.”
Meat-and-Three Plates, Sides, and Sweet Tea
SouthSide’s menu has a meat-and-three feel that helps separate it from a bare-bones barbecue counter.
Sides include mac and cheese, collards, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, sweet potato soufflé, green peas, black-eyed peas with snaps, rice and gravy, hushpuppies, and fried okra.
Several plates also come with touches that feel generous and homey, including garlic bread, sweet tea, and banana pudding.
Google reviewer Sam Parish ordered rib tips with black-eyed peas, sweet potato casserole, and fried okra, then noted that the plate also included “garlic bread, sweet tea, and some banana pudding.”
“My belly was so happy,” Parish wrote.
More Than Standard BBQ Plates
SouthSide BBQ & Hash also makes room for items beyond the classic tray.
The menu includes wings, pork tacos, brisket tacos, loaded fries, chicken salad, kids meals, and desserts that reviewers have mentioned fondly, including banana pudding, apple cobbler, and cheesecake.
That broader menu makes the restaurant work for different appetites: a barbecue plate for one person, a loaded sandwich and fries for another, hash over rice for someone who came specifically for Carolina comfort food.
Bulk BBQ for Family Meals
SouthSide’s bulk menu keeps things simple: pulled pork, hash, chicken stew, ribs, rib tips, and brisket.
That lineup says a lot about the restaurant. These are the items SouthSide expects folks to carry out in larger portions, whether for a family supper or a table full of hungry guests.
For a barbecue restaurant with “Hash” in the name, seeing hash on the bulk menu feels especially fitting.
Friendly, Family-Style Feel
Hospitality shows up again and again in customer comments.
Kathy Schott wrote in a Google review, “The owner came and greeted us warmly. It’s a local family business that really cares about your experience.”
Julia Proffitt described being greeted by “the lovely Ms. Sue,” who offered tastes of hash and chicken stew. Other reviewers mention friendly service, generous portions, and a laid-back atmosphere.
That matters. Barbecue is often as much about how a place makes you feel as what lands on the plate, and SouthSide seems to understand both sides of that equation.
What to Know Before You Go
SouthSide BBQ & Hash is a casual Greenwood stop for pulled pork, ribs, brisket, rib tips, hash, chicken stew, and Southern sides.
Come for a plate, a sampler, a sandwich, or a quart of hash to take home. Either way, this is a Greenwood barbecue restaurant that leans into the kind of food South Carolina diners know well: smoked meats, hash over rice, sweet tea, and sides that can carry their own weight.
What Folks Are Saying
Google Review
Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide Sam Parrish shared the following:
Man, this place has some delicious food! I got 1 meat/3 sides plate. I picked the rib tips, black eyed peas, sweet potato casserole, and fried okra. For $12.99 it was more than worth it, but they also throw in garlic bread, sweet tea, and some banana pudding. My belly was so happy. The owner let me try the hash, and if they hadn't run out, I would have taken some of that to go. Everything was just right. Fast, friendly service and a nice portion meal for a good price. Highly recommend.
Yelp Review
Over on Yelp, nearby local Janet K had this to say:
The food was great. We had the pulled pork and the brisket. Both were tender and juicy with just the right amount of smoked flavor. The sides were good as well and the prices were reasonable. We'll definitely go back!

GREAT SC COOKBOOK
The SC recipes were what I liked most about the cookbook. True SC Bar-b-que. It is a great SC cookbook, and it will continue to grow. I’d like to see a bar-b-que chicken recipe that is made with basting with some kind of vinegar. I’ve had this kind of chicken but don’t know how they… Read more "GREAT SC COOKBOOK"
