"With multiple locations in South Carolina, Home Team BBQ’s mountain outpost at the base of Buttermilk ski area is the perfect pitstop between runs. Expect hearty house-smoked barbecue platters with classic Southern sides like collard greens, cole slaw, and mac and cheese, sandwich specials, and frozen cocktails like the signature Gamechanger—a stiff blend of spiced rum, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut with a dash of fresh nutmeg. It’s also a hangout for football fans on game days, and a great place to catch live music on the fireside stage in the back room. photo credit: Craig Turpin" - Katie Shapiro
