First time here and glad I stopped. Beans and coleslaw made fresh everyday. Friendly folks and great BBQ. Prices are best I’ve seen for BBQ anywhere in the upstate. Added bonus is great sweet tea. Give them a chance. They are awesome.

Want good BBQ, make time to stop by! Food is great. you're not there for the atmosphere, but it gives the backyard picnic vibe with the vinyl table covers.

Pork sandwich was fantastic. Sauces were great tasting. This is high value BBQ. I was travelling for work and saw the sign and gave it a try. I was very pleased. It's the real deal.

I have been going to Charlies for years and have never reviewed, shame on me. It is a very good BBQ. Cole slaw and all sides have been great. Employees are top notch. Highly recommend, plan to keep it in our regular rotation.

We had Charlie’s BBQ cater two business functions this week.... One in Anderson and one in Greer. The food was great and the service was stellar! The three guys that own this restaurant are all easy to work with and go out of their way to make sure everything is done correctly and they do it all with a smile. I highly recommend Charlie’s when looking for someone to cater BBQ for an event.

Charlie’s is our go-to place for take out when we come into Greenville for a visit. Lots of grill items but don’t skip the barbecue. Order for 4 or more and get a bottle of the sauce.

Frequently passed without thought. While not exactly a competitor to sbh or lewis, it was excellent in it's own way. Prices were amazing, kids enjoyed the beans and Mac thoroughly. Give it a shot.
