Home Team BBQ
Charleston-born, community-rooted, smoke-forward since 2006
Home Team BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina.
Home Team BBQ is Charleston's hometown institution, founded by Aaron Siegel and Taylor Garrigan in 2006 and grown into three Lowcountry locations without losing its community-first footing. The Upper King room is the flagship the city knows best: lively, welcoming, stacked with one of the best craft-beer lists in town, and given over to live music most weekends. It is the rare place that reads as both a serious pit and a neighborhood living room.
The pulled pork is the benchmark for Charleston-style — tender, smoky, with just enough bark folded back in to keep every bite interesting. The smoked wings are a genuine event, and the St. Louis ribs hold their own against the family's West Ashley original. Collard greens and banana pudding anchor the sides. The vinegar-and-white-sauce approach keeps the meat front and center, and the room's easy energy is a real part of why the name became a Charleston shorthand.
