What a hidden gem. We were driving through Charleston from Florida and this popped up and had high ratings. A little off the beaten path (not much) and pretty small, but it packs an authentic BBQ punch. The people were welcoming and nice. The food we had was amazing. We think these are the best collards we have ever been served, a little sass, some bacon and vinegar. So good. The brisket was very good tasting. I think I should have asked for more fatty like I prefer, but the taste is right on. The ribs were moist and smoky delicious. We tried about all the sauces and the spicy one is great and the mustard one exceptional. Fantastic! Now we have a new place to stop when we head to Charleston.

My son and I made our traditional monthly visit to a NEW barbecue spot and today we headed out to Hollywood, SC for a special treat! From top to bottom, everything we had today at Easton Barbecue was delicious!
Proteins…pulled pork was juicy and sweet with a small vinegar kick. Both the fatty and lean brisket had lots of flavor and the bark you got even hints of pepper and salt. Brisket burnt ends always a bonus! The ribs had smoky flavor with great seasoning and a tad bit of sweetness in each bite. The wings, hot honey mustard and a nice dry rub, each delicious in their own way. No dipping sauce required. My son and I both loved the slight crispy skin on the dry rub wings. That daily special sandwich with the shaved pork belly was SO GOOD!
Sides…I’m good with many different variations of slaw, but this had a nice mustard kick to it. Pork and Beans (pinto) little chunks of tomato, meat, and spices all throughout. Lots of thought went into those flavor combinations for sure. The pasta salad was so good! Corkscrew noodles with little chunks of tomatoes and Parmesan cheese all throughout. More of a mustard vibe on the potato salad, but I respect the huge chunks of red potatoes. I enjoy many different styles of hash and rice but this had a good meaty flavor with a little sweetness, which I appreciate. Backbone and rice, yes please!
The sauces…bold and tangy, certainly lived up to its name. Zing and sting (vinegar) don’t breathe deep . Sweet tooth was really good. Not overly sweet. Alabama white, WOW a different take on this and it’s like no other white sauce I’ve had before. VERY GOOD! Joel’s Gold (mustard) just like the Alabama white, he puts his own spin on it and it’s got a delicious vinegar vibe which I loved. 
Dessert…all of my respect in the world for the banana pudding with real banana slices all throughout. The bread pudding was equally as delicious as was the addition of the smoked candied pecans. After about five seconds of chewing them, that subtle smoke flavor hits.
Our favorite part of this tradition is trying new styles of barbecue. We all have a preference, but never be afraid to step outside the comfort of your own taste buds and try something new. Go out there and give it a try!

You walk in and just know you are in the right place. If Glade made a smokehouse scent airfreshener, they would come here to acquire that scent. It smells amazing as soon as you walk in. The staff was so friendly and the sweet tea is perfect. The food was beyond my expectations. I had the brisket and the pork. Both were delicious. I got a rack of ribs for the family to share and I swear they are the best ribs I’ve ever ordered from anywhere. They had a brisket french dip special and my wife said it was fantastic. I highly reccomend.

Man, this place definitely surpassed expectations. There were 6 of us and we ended up trying nearly everything on the menu between us all, including a kids’ meal. There wasn’t a disappointing bite in the meal. Brisket smashburger was so damn good and I paired that with the collard greens, which were phenomenal. I tried bites of the ribs, pulled pork, pork and beans, hash and rice, brisket quesadilla, potato salad, and the pickled carrots/onions that come with the special. Sweet tea was perfectly sweet. I even topped it off with the bread pudding. As great as the food is, the service is equally as good. Constantly coming around refilling drinks, asking if we need anything, and getting us a to-go box.
Definitely make the stop. You won’t be disappointed.
My only complaint is we live in Arizona and I’ll only get to visit once a year

Best BBQ in South Carolina!! Everything was so good!! The ribs fall off the bone, the brisket is very juicy and tender, the wings are to die for, and the cole slaw is creamy with a hint of tart!! I always make sure I stop by when driving through Hollywood!! Oh and I forgot, my kids love the food here too!!

This place is amazing. The vibe, the staff and the food were superb! Tonight they were offering a special which was Ahi Tuna Gochujanj & Sesame Vinegarette Dressing (pictured). I was blown away! I’ll be coming back for sure.

Well, it sounds too good to be true!! But the City of Hollywood SC has a Great BBQ Place. We were going to Edisto and happened upon Easton BBQ. What a wonderful restaurant, local family owned and operated. I had the pulled pork, chopped brisket and some bread pudding. I wish I had taken a picture for this review, but wasn’t expecting the great taste. It reminded me of a North Carolina style BBQ.
Compliments to the Chef and the Staff. What a wonderful experience. Food was Great!!
Kathryn Easton was a real treat to have the pleasure of meeting!!!!! Keep up the Great work!!!

The best BBQ Charleston has to offer! I’d have to say they have the best ribs in town and their brisket rivals Lewis. They run specials every weekend, so make sure you’re following their social media. The ladies inside are friendly and provide top notch service.
