Word on the street
What locals are saying
Home Team BBQ's West Ashley original (1205 Ashley River Rd) is embraced by Charleston locals as a dependable neighborhood institution — part laid-back sports bar, part solid BBQ spot — known for its covered patios, weekly trivia, and live entertainment more than for pure pitmaster credentials. The BBQ itself draws mixed signals: wings, smoked brisket nachos, and tacos earn consistent praise, but purists note the smoke flavor can get lost and the experience skews more 'sports bar that happens to serve barbecue' than destination BBQ. Pricing complaints surface occasionally, though most regulars consider it fair value for the atmosphere and portion size.
