Swig & Swine

I’m not going to claim to be a barbecue aficionado. I am going to know I have tastebuds and a sense of what constitutes a good value for my dining dollar. The young lady who took my order was nice and this isn’t that kind of review. It is a review that says this might be the worst barbecue I’ve ever eaten, especially for it being almost $30 for the food I ordered. The sausage was good. The rest of the food wasn’t. It was lacking in seasoning and I knew better to go to a restaurant less than an hour and a half before closing (I’m being sarcastic because food quality shook always be top of mind). It just wasn’t good and it’ll probably be a one and done experience for me.

Had a great lunch here on out way out of town. They had a great patio and were super friendly to our pup (even bringing him a bowl of water)! We did the family platter because we wanted to try everything. It did not disappoint! We will definitely be back when we’re in town. Or better yet, open a location in Columbia :)

Loved the food! Rice and Grits were amazing... eat till I burst. Also loved that they're helping ex-vegans rehabilitate. They also had prepped menus for gluten and dairy free options.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at Swig & Swine in Summerville! I ordered The Big Nasty and The Pit, and both absolutely blew me away. The flavors were deep, smoky, and rich—true Southern BBQ done right. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy, and the sauces added just the right kick. Every bite was packed with flavor, and it’s clear they put a lot of love into their food. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a valued guest. They were attentive without being overbearing and made sure I had everything I needed. The atmosphere is just what you want in a BBQ joint—laid-back, cozy, and great for relaxing or catching up with friends. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a delicious meal without feeling rushed. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a spot worth stopping for. Definitely a 5-star experience. I’ll be back for sure!

Swig&Swine is a MUST GO-TO for BBQ in Summerville. Their ribs are my absolute favorite and do not need any extra sauce whatsoever. (I hear this is a big compliment, when one does not need any extra sauce to add additional flavor to the meat.) Also, I also thoroughly enjoy their Vinegar Coleslaw and Mac & Cheese. The Mac & Cheese has a delightful texture - a slight crunch - which surprised me in a very good way. Ask the Chef what he adds - you will also be pleasantly surprised. Oh - I start off each meal with a Mocktail - Swiggy Punch - YUM!!! And finish every meal with their luscious Banana Pudding. ENJOY!!!
