Lewis Barbecue

essages and e-mails promptly and she helps with all of the details to make a memorable event! The food is amazing!! Our family and friends are still talking about the brisket and always look forward to visiting the restaurant when in town! The servers were very friendly and professional. The serving tables were always clean and the food is prepared perfectly! The portion sizes are generous - nobody left hungry!! This is a top-notch caterer; five stars all around!!

as opposed to NC style which we are accustomed to). It is expensive, but no more so than a traditional catering company and the product is such high quality and so memorable. We had sliced brisket, sliced turkey breast (don't miss it), hot guts sausage and corn pudding. They also bring pickles, bread, water and ice tea. The way that Lewis sets up the buffet, serves guests as they walk through and has someone slicing brisket to order makes the experience feel like more of a special event than just a casual backyard BBQ. All of our guests raved about the food and many of them were professional chefs who said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. We ended up booking a more casual venue for our wedding and splurged on the food instead- it was worth every penny! So so delicious. As far as the customer service, Alicia the catering manager was fantastic- prompt and thorough in answering emails and able to tailor the menu to exactly what you want. It was easy and stress-free to work with her leading up to the event. My husband and I both cook in restaurant kitchens in Charleston and have done lots of catering and I have no critique whatsoever on the experience. The guests didn't even notice Lewis setting up during our cocktail hour and their breakdown was seamless as well. The people they brought were super friendly to the guests and made going through the buffet line fun! It's worth mentioning that our wedding planner dropped the ball on some details day-of, but Lewis worked with our other vendors and figured out every hiccup on their own so that my husband and I had no idea that there had been any issues at all. True professionals and they put so much love into their craft. Even if you don't book them as your caterer, the restaurant is a must when in Charleston. Thank you!!!

2 weekends ago. Not only is this some of the best BBQ I have ever had it is one of the best restaurants in Charleston with the best people. From the very beginning Alicia (Event Director) was very upfront about any minimums they had as well as what food options they could and couldn't do which I really appreciated. She walked through the menu with me multiple times and was very flexible on confirming numbers until right before the event, which was amazingly helpful. She was so responsive and great to work with! Day of Ben and his team had completely set up their stations before I even got there (30 minutes ahead of schedule), and were even willing to lend a hand on a few random things I had to do leading up to the event. I can not say enough nice things about this crew. Not only did the guests think the food was out of this world (with many from Texas and Kansas City that says something), but they could not stop raving about how nice, courteous and fun the team serving was - I can not thank them enough!! Thank you Ben and Alicia for literally making this event a success!! If you are still reading this review you should probably stop, just pick up the phone and book them for an event... Thanks again John and your staff. So happy to have you in Charleston!

t the brisket. The servers were extremely friendly and offered samples to guests waiting in the buffet line. Lewis was easy to work with and provided more than enough food and fixins. We would pick them again in a heartbeat.
