Founded by John Lewis, a master of barbecue, the restaurant has a cult-like following built on an unerring dedication to the craft. Lewis welds his own custom-designed smokers and wakes at 4 a.m. to tend the fire. Growing up in El Paso, Texas, he moved to Austin at 18, where he began experimenting with backyard barbecue. After honing his skills on the competition circuit in Denver, he helped Aaron Franklin open Franklin Barbecue and partnered with LeAnn Mueller to open La Barbecue before moving to Charleston in March 2015. The menu features sliced and chopped USDA Prime beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey breast, pork spare ribs, Texas hot guts sausage, and green chile cheddar sausage, along with sides like creamy potato salad and tangy coleslaw. The restaurant has been recognized for culinary excellence and value by the Michelin Guide.

The restaurant sits on Rutherford Street, about a tenth of a mile from West Stone Avenue and the Pete Hollis Statue.

Lewis Barbecue has built a solid reputation among the customers it has served, with an established track record reflected in a large base of customer reviews. The Greenville location brings the same pitmaster-built smokers and cut-to-order Central Texas barbecue that have drawn enthusiasts to the pits for years, right to the heart of the city.
