True BBQ

My husband and I went to True BBQ for lunch. Everything was perfect!!! The food, the service, the music, the bathrooms, and the lighting. It’s hard to find a restaurant that has everything perfect. We will return there again and again.

I went to the new restaurant near Coastal Grande Mall today. Very good! We’ve been talking about it all day. The Peach Cobbler was the best. Love their True Daddy sauce. I had the sandwich with fries and coleslaw. Everything was perfect. Service was great. Atmosphere was wonderful. Very nice establishment.

tried this BBQ while on vacation and it was great. i can’t wait to see you on the beach & very nice family :)

I was really looking forward to some killer BBQ in Myrtle beach and I saw several reviews for this place that were positive.
True BBQ is a mom and pop shop that is a bit off the beaten path, but not too far from the beach… about 10 min from the south end.
It was very clear to me that these people know how to do BBQ. However, the food was not fresh, which was very sad. Due to the size of the place, they probably smoke meat 1 or two days and then reheat to serve patrons through the remainder of the week. It was quite clear that the meat had not been recently smoked. The ribs were most notably not fresh… no bark.
The people were super nice, the food was still decent, and the sauces were very good. Decent prices, but maybe call ahead and see when they are cooking.

Nice little side of the road place, great food, Ribs were off the chain, the sampler gets you all their goodies in one order. I will definitely be back.

Excellent place for true BBQ and homemade sides! I live very close to this place and frequent it often. Whether for just a pulled pork sandwich or if I call ahead to order several racks of ribs for a family night, they never fail to provide fantastic food.

BEST BBQ in Myrtle Beach area… excellent choice of sauces for their brisket, pork & chicken bbq meals! Owned & operated by a local family. Very highly recommended!

One word WOW! My wife and I decided to get some authentic southern bbq before our trip back to Colorado. What a great decision. I had the sampler platter which was a little of everything. Everything was delicious, the sides were great as well. My wife couldn’t stop saying this place was exactly what she was looking for. All the sauces were on the side and all of them were a perfect compliment to the meal. Please if you live in the area or on vacation, stop here. Only open on Wed-​Sat but well worth it.

While driving down Socastee Boulevard, it is hard to notice this gem along the west side of the road, despite their bright yellow and red signs and flags. Once you see it, you’ve passed it. This teeny tiny hut is worth turning around and stopping in. Several red and white picnic tables are provided outdoors, as well as a small counter with stools on the side of the building.
On the menu you will find beef brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken and rib sandwiches for $ 5.75. Combos, sampler, and family special meals go from $ 7.50 to 26.99. One half rack of ribs goes for $ 11.72 and a full rack is $ 23.45. There about six different barbecue sauces available at the counter. Sides are potato salad, macaroni salad, hash and rice, baked beans and cole slaw.
We stopped by for the full rack of ribs, and due to the windy weather, we took them home. My husband and I gorged on these moist and well seasoned with dry rub, ribs. I can taste a bit of cinnamon and some type of hot pepper in the rub, but it was not too spicy to disturb our delicate stomachs. Barbecue sauce was also provided, which was tasty with the right amount of seasonings to make you want to eat these ribs, like they were going out of style. We were well satisfied, but still had several ribs to wrap in the refrigerator for later.
True BBQ is open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and I can’t recall what the sign said for Sunday. The hours as well as the days are limited, and I’m not sure if that is because it is early in the season or if this is permanent. If you pass by and it is open, do yourself a big favor and give this place a try. The staff is polite and helpful and I’ll be coming back again, real soon!
