Robert's Bar-B-Que
Home of the Super Pig, a 1960s drive-in lineage
Robert's Bar-B-Que is a barbecue restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina.
Robert's Bar-B-Que traces its roots to a 1960s North Charleston drive-in, and the family has been feeding the Ashley Phosphate area ever since. The format stayed old-school on purpose: lunch-focused weekday hours, a counter rather than a dining-room concept, and homemade plates that regulars have leaned on for decades. This is a legacy joint in the truest sense — a specific family cooking a specific way in a specific neighborhood, generation after generation.
The signature is the Super Pig sandwich, the order the whole reputation hangs on and the reason first-timers make the trip. Around it sits the everyday spread: homemade pulled pork with the region's mustard-forward tang, and hash over rice cooked down the old Lowcountry way. Nothing is dressed up and nothing needs to be. Robert's is the kind of counter that outlasts trends by ignoring them, and the Super Pig is proof that one great sandwich can carry a name for half a century.
