This place is the cutest and so quaint. It definitely fits in with the Charleston vibe. The owner Danny, has so much history and you can see it all over the restaurant. I tried the bbq sandwich here and it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had. Thank you so much Danny! I will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Absolutely a must stop for anyone who comes to Charleston!

Regardless of which side of the political aisle you are on, you can bet that this bbq spot from the former Mayor of Charleston will knock your socks off! Not only is the food delicious, the service is great, the portions are generous and the prices are right.
The sauce had a little bit of tang to it and a unique flavor I hadn’t experienced before. It played great on both the half chicken and the ribs. The baked beans, macaroni salad and potato salad were wonderful supporting characters but the chili was definitely competing to be the star of the show. It was so yummy we didn’t even use crackers so we could savor its taste.
The service was excellent and started even before we got in the door. Mr. Jones happened to be outside when we arrived and even though he didn’t know we were coming to his place, asked my husband if he needed quarters for the meter when he was trying to figure it out (we don’t get out much and haven’t used the slick new card reader type). When we did go inside, we were spoken to several times and assisted way more than we expected. It was very refreshing.
We enjoyed our visit here and will be back as soon as we can. I highly recommend visiting this place. Your taste buds and the small business owner will thank you.

Atmosphere and service are top notch, the BBQ is mediocre tasting like it was cooked in an oven not a smoker. If I received this plate at a family get together i wouldn’t complain but when i go pay 20 for a meal i expect more than just passing flavor. Bbq is very subjective tho as all the styles are different, the staff was very nice and the atmosphere was top notch. Wanted to like the food but just honestly didnt, still give it a try your BBQ preference might be different than mine and the people were very kind.

Having tried BBQ in St. Louis, KC, Texas and the Carolinas, Danny’s special take on BBQ is a must try. I won’t try to put his unique blend in any sort of box, I will just say it is worth the stop if your in town or by even just passing through.
The ribs are fall off the bone delicious, the BBQ sandwich was equally flavorful and all the sides were the perfect compliment to the entrees.
Couple the good food with friendly service and a family friendly environment— what more could you ask for?!

This has got to be the best BBQ in the Charleston area. The ribs are incredible, the sauce is a great combination of sweet and tangy while the meat just falls off the bone. The pulled pork sandwich with a side for 6 bucks is such a great deal especially for lunch. The food is always HOT, fresh, and usually ready for me to pick up in a matter of minutes.

In town for business and was desperately hungry after a long day with no lunch. Tried Danny’s based on Google reviews. Man did it not disappoint. Wonderfully seasoned and tender ribs. Great sauce that wasn’t overly sweet. Beans and coleslaw were also top tier. For someone used to Chicago food prices, full slab with two sides and a drink for under $20, come on. Amazing for food that tastes this good. Danny and his staff are very friendly as well. Can’t think of a single complaint. You’re lucky to have this place Charleston!

Perhaps the most outstanding restaurant I’ve ever been to. The best Barbeque I’ve ever had. Terrific service from nice people. The wall is lined with pictures of famous people (U.S. presidents, senators, etc.) who have come through town to meet the owner, who was the mayor of Charleston for 16 years. We visited while driving through all the way from Minnesota, and they made us feel right at home.

Everything I’ve ordered at Danny’s BBQ Stand is excellent. Of course, the ribs and pulled pork BBQ sandwiches are a must, but don’t overlook the chili with housemade croutons! Also, check out the smoked chicken salads, baked beans and potato salad! Cozy dining room to eat-in, or take it to-go.

With a 4.9 on Google, the family decided to stop on our way home through Charleston. It was worth every minute off highway as we got the treat of eating lunch with Charleston’s former major, Danny Jones. The conversation was memorable as Danny treated the children as if they were his own grandchildren. On top of that, the food was perfectly smoked with a savory sweet barbecue sauce that was to good to leave any on the plate. We won’t forget this stop and we will be spreading the word of the best BBQ stand. Thank you Danny!!!

Ribs and bbq sandwich during a quick lunch stop was great. The smoked potato salad with pimentos complimented the ribs perfectly. Glad we had a chance to stop in. Great talking to the owner Dan Jones. Very personable and helpful. Food came out quick and hot. If you’re in Charleston definitely stop and give it a try!
