What locals are saying
Anchored inside the Kiawah Island Golf Resort and a legit stop on the South Carolina BBQ Trail, Cherrywood has enough hardware to back up the hype — multiple-year winner at the Charleston Mac Off and the Smoke on the Harbor BBQ Throwdown for pulled pork. Chef Keith Richardson smokes over local hardwoods, and the Heritage Farms pork shoulder and overnight beef brisket consistently draw praise from South Carolina natives who don't hand out compliments easily. The resort ZIP code means resort prices, and a few items — cornbread, bread pudding, the occasional rack of ribs — land dry; the craft ale lineup, however, holds its own.
