BBQ Southeast USA
Florida: 4 Rivers SmokehouseThe Applewood Bacon Wrapped BBQ Shrimp are delicious. The Warm Apple Crisp with a cookie crust is unforgettable. And if you’re looking to taste a bit of it all, try the Smoked Meat Sampler. This old-fashioned roasting pan comes with three pounds of smoked beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey, pork ribs, and chicken wings, and it's served alongside three sides and garlic toast or cornbread. Tucked inside a throwback cabin setting reminiscent of early-1900s roadside barbecue diners, you’ll also love all of the memorabilia on display. route-46.com/smokehouse-bbq-restaurant-sanford
Georgia: Southern Soul BBQThis St. Simons Island spot is worth a detour. Housed in a former gas station, right outside are oak-fired Lang and Oyler pits known for delivering stellar ribs, pork, brisket, sausage, smoked chicken, and more from backyard to table. Keep your eyes peeled for the daily special board; our favorite is Thursday's offering of house-cured and smoked pastrami. southernsoulbbq.com
South Carolina: Home Team BBQPark your bike outside, head to the dog-friendly porch, and grab a stool. The old-school combo platters are grand slams, but don't overlook the Chopped Brisket Taco and BBQ Nachos. And no matter what you order, a classic root beer float is sure to be a welcome complement. In addition to the Charleston outpost, two more related restaurants are located in Sullivan's Island and West Ashley. hometeambbq.com
North Carolina: Sam Jones BBQ
Sam Jones is a third-generation barbecue restaurateur, and in Jones-land, wood-smoked whole hogs reign. For the Chopped BBQ, crispy pork skin mixed with the meat is total perfection, but there’s also smoked turkey, chicken, and spareribs well worth sampling. Between bites, pop the crispy North Carolina catfish bites, which are breaded by hand and fried by the order. samjonesbbq.com
