Best brisket I've had in a very long time. I was visiting friends in Summerville, and they recommended Bakers. Now I have to say, this place is interesting, but the food is excellent. I read another review saying Swig and Swine was better, and I beg to differ. I was at Swig and Swine two weeks prior, and got brisket for take out. Paid for a pound, which had to be barely that, and it was dry and lacked flavor. Bakers pound was way more meat. Bakers brisket was moist, tender, and had great flavor even without sauce. The potato salad, beans, and especially the Succotash were so good. Fifty bucks for 3 people, and we had leftovers for another meal. The guys that work here are friendly, polite, and do a great job. I will be back for sure!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've been coming to Baker's BBQ for years, and it has never disappointed. Everything on the menu is delicious, but the hash is hands down the best you'll find anywhere in the Charleston area. It may be tucked away, but it's absolutely worth going out of your way for. Our favorites are the BBQ, brisket, hash and rice, and the meatloaf. The staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. If you're looking for authentic, consistently great barbecue, Baker's BBQ is an absolute MUST!!

It's only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Thursday is ribs and meatloaf and Friday is brisket. You may want to call in before they run out on those days. Everyday is pulled pork. This is the way bbq should be done.

Servers and the team working are lovely folks. I received a friendly and warm welcome when I arrived and it felt like I stepped into a family member's kitchen. Food wise. Nothing was impressive and nothing was bad. The price was reasonable too. The servings are generous. To give something comparable, its on par with grocery store bbq from the deli. Meat was tender but could've gone longer in the smoker. The banana pudding tasted like it was from a box. Corn bread was ok at best, a tad dry really. The mac and cheese was the best item by far but making good mac and cheese isn't impressive. The green beans were ok too. If you're close you, need a big bite, and traveling any further is absolutely out of the question, then this is the spot for you. If you are willing to drive a little further, just go to Swing & Swine. Its not amazing but it is much better and it has seating to boot. If you want amazing and flavorful bbq with seating. Head to Lewis BBQ & thank me later. EDIT In response to the owner's response, I feel the need to clarify. This was not a negative review. I said many good things and I could have said a lot worse. Overall, it was honest and if that hurts then thats fine. I took my order as carry out. There was no opportunity to talk to the owner after I drove miles back home to eat. I had other priorities that trumped calling a restaurant to ask for the owner to explain why I didnt like the food. I'm just not going to come back. I bought it and I didn't like it. Thats a risk I accepted the moment I swiped my card. I will definitely always advertise for other comparable businesses that work to perfect their craft and offer unique experiences for their patrons. I would have liked someone in your review section to have steered me away from your restaurant and to have provided a better option. Thats why I mentioned the establishments the way I did. If this review hurt your business, then that's a good thing. It invites competition. Without competition, no one gets better. If no one gets better, then subpar businesses keep their doors open longer. Thats not how things should be. New competition needs to enter a space to challenege older establishments. If those older establishments want to stay in business, then they adapt. Thats how competitive spaces work. I dont know if complacency has left your product lacking or if you've been here so long that your clientele is just loyal and keeping you in business. Regardless, if you don't like the fact that I think your services are subpar, that means your establishment should work to be more competitive in either price, taste, or amenities. All three would be my recommendation. A three star review isn't negative. It just means that it was OK and ultimately thats what my experience was at Baker's... purely ok. It wasn't bad. It wasn't great. It was just ok. There's a lot of places that are worse and a lot of places that are better. Oh and since I'm a bit fired up. Putting that much brown sugar on ribs is criminal.
