"After six years of brisket mania in Charleston, Lewis Barbecue opened a second outpost in Greenville at 214 Rutherford Street on Wednesday, September 14. Owner John Lewis said he waited for a city with a solid food community that would be an easy drive so he could ensure the new spot felt and tasted the same as the original; the team spent more than a year renovating the former Tommy’s Ham House (which served the community for over 30 years and whose owner Tommy Stevenson publicly gave his blessing in 2021) to match the Lowcountry location’s aesthetics with help from designer Betsy Berry of B. Berry Interiors and LGM Architects. The menu mirrors Charleston’s, with life-changing brisket, super moist turkey, pulled pork sandwiches, and notable sides such as green chile corn pudding and cowboy beans. Once open, the Greenville Lewis Barbecue serves on Wednesdays through Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Erin Perkins
