By far, Shealy's Bar-B-Q is the best bbq establishment I have visited. Though we live at the opposite end of the country, we spend our summers in SC at our nearby summer lake home. Shealy's is one of the first "must go to" stops every year when we arrive in SC. The family atmosphere only serves to enhance and compliment the outstanding food served there. I make a point to visit with Mrs Shealy each time we visit. She has turned the day to day operations of the establishment over to her son, but works the register and maintains a matronly southern-charm presence there. She brings a sense of southern hospitality and warmth not found in alot of eateries out west. If you are looking for true southern charm, and great food, make Shealy's part of your dining experience!!!!

This is the best tasting bar-b-que of all times. Keep up the good work Shealy's. We traveled all the way from Tennessee to get some of this great tasting bar-b-que.

Everything is excellent. I make this my second stop when I come home to S.C. and the last stop before we get back on the road to come home.

If you like a mustard based BBQ then this is your place. I liked the moistness of the BBQ meat. The overall meal was good but I wouldnt make a special trip to go again.

Country cookin, what image does that imply to you? Thats how you'll feel about Shealy's. You'll either like it or not. Green beans, fried chicken, bbq, hash, corn all a heart surgeons delight. Most of the regulars at Shealy's are overweight and out of shape. The food is tasty and bad for you. Grease and cholesterol are the special of the day. But even those that try and eat healthy a good ole heaping plate of some tasty Q is ok every now and again.

Except for being greasy I do not know why anyone could possibly have a problem with it! It is without a doubt the best BBQ in this state. Yes it is crowded, because it is just good! Not only do they have good BBQ but the fried chicken, fried livers, and gizzards or something to behold! It does not matter what you think about BBQ the experience is worth the price and wait! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Great Bar-b-Q with both regular type and vinigar based. The sides are excellent, with the all you can eat buffet going on the entire time they are open. It is always crowded, but if you have the time it is worth the wait.
