Old South Bar-B-Q-Co

Went to the bigger one on 17, more seating — owned by the same people. Huge smoker outside. The BBQ was great! I have been smoking meats for a while now (10+ years). This is the real deal. Had to try the wings, chopped pork and ribs. Ribs were bite through, great smoke ring. Sauce was really really good. Like the Spicy Red and the hot Carolina of course :) Reminded me of the Big Bob Gibson sauces I love so much… maybe better.
Do it!

I had Old South BBQ cater for about 20 guys on a recent bachelor party trip to Myrtle Beach. Butch, the owner I believe, delivered everything we needed for a post golf BBQ. Plates, sauces, buns, utensils, and most importantly, incredible BBQ. We got the pork, wings, beans, and potato salad. All of it delicious, but the wings were the best. Very reasonably priced, would use them again for sure.

I would have rather give about a 3.5 if I could. My mom read such great reviews, but I was not impressed. If you are going to go there is not much seating on the inside and unfortunately today it was raining so we did not want to sit outside bc it was so muggy. The service was quick and they were pretty nice. I got the large chopped BBQ sandwich and my family ordered the half rack of ribs. There was plenty of meat to go around and they seemed pretty pleased. I didn’t find anything to great about the BBQ sauce either. I have had much better BBQ in other places.

The chopped pork meal was delicious. The ribs were a little bit salty for our taste but the overall experience was good. We loved the different BBQ sauce options. Definitely a mom n’ pop atmosphere. Great service.

Had lunch here today. Great smoky bbq with no gristle or fat, fresh cut fries,
good selection of sauces, very attentive and friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back and recommend this to my friends.

Stopped in here due to good reviews… DO NOT let the small building fool you… Ribs and smoked wings were EXCELLENT … Chopped BBQ was pretty good as well… The Baked Beans, caught us off guard with the little kick to them… But could NOT stop eating them… Well worth the stop in and will definitely visit them again and again… Will become a regular any time we are at the beach… Guy working the front desk at our hotel, smelled and saw our plate of wings and asked where we got them… After sharing one with him… He stated he had never been there, but was going the coming week after tasting that wing!!!

Just plain awesome ! Ribs, chickenwings, deep fried corn on the cobb, chopped pork. This is the way bbq should be. Its a small place with two big smokers on the side. Get away from the chian restaurant garbage and get ya some authentic finger licken grub. I only wish I had found it before my last day in SC.

Most excellent ribs! Really good BBQ sauces too! We had the BBQ Beans that had a very good tang. Inside and outside dining. Service was very good and they had a mini old car show. All in all a excellent experience. We will be back next time we are in town

Great chopped pork and memorable hush puppies served with honey spread. There’s a small eat-​in area or outdoor table seating.

Unbelievable BBQ I have had in a long while, thanks to Owners Matt and founder Butch and their customer service director Bailey who was my server. The ribs were cooked to perfection, the chopped pork lean and tasty. All the meat was served simply smoked. Try the baked beans and all sides were awesome.
Grab a Cherwine, a NC drink speciality. This vintage BBQ hot spot was one I drove by and almost kept on driving by and THANK GOD I didn’t. This is a MUST stop.

If you’re in the area you need to stop in here. On a recommendation from Up Country We came in for lunch and absolutely enjoyed it.
Wanted to have the Smoked Wings for an appetizer but they were out (boooo) and settled on the fried pickles. I’ve had better but these were still very good and plenty of them.
We went with full rack of ribs and chopped pork plate. First the ribs… wow! They had a perfect smoke ring and had the perfect dry rub. The tables are complete with 5 different BBQ sauces (all are very good) but these ribs didn’t need any sauce!
The chopped pork plate was amazing. The pork wasn’t too dried and add in their coleslaw it was perfect combo. Again the meat didn’t need sauce in my opinion but wifey tried them out and enjoyed them all. It also came with a toasted Kings Hawaiian roll that made perfect sandwich… it’s the small things that make the difference.
For the sides we had the coleslaw (as mentioned above), baked beans, hush puppies and the hand cut fries. The beans were very good. On the first taste you get the sweetness and then it tails with a little pinch of heat… very nice! The hush puppies were very tasty. The fires were a bit soggy and soft for my taste so I probably wouldn’t order them again.

Just in town for the weekend, and I have to say this place rocks. Incredible BBQ and even nicer staff.

I’m pretty sure that anything you select in here is a winner! Wish I could’ve bought everything because it smelled so good in here, but I settled for the Smoked Wings. A huge azz bucket ‘o wings with plenty of dippin sauces to be exact. Absolutely divine! Grabbed each by the tip, ripped em apart in one swoop, slathered them in dip — then smacked em down!
I thank the Wing gods that I found this place!

Wasn’t thinking about chicken wings but they came highly recommended so had to give them a shot. Excellent! Moved on to the main course with some baby backs and they too were outstanding. Very meaty and good smoke penetration.
Don’t let the appearance scare you away give this place a go.

The place itself is nothing fancy. No waiting tonight as other reviews mentioned.
I got the chopped pork platter with onion rings and hush puppies. The meat was luke warm at best. A bit disappointing. However, it was moist. I got a piece of cartilage in one mouthful. The sauce options were good but the containers looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The onion rings were thin. I wish there was a bit more substance to them. The hush puppies were good. But a bit hard. I assume they were pre-​made and quickly fried a second time.
Overall, it was good but not the best I’ve had.

Simply put, Awesome! Friendly staff, amazing bbq, sauces, hush puppies, fresh cut French fries, and last but not least banana pudding. Can’t wait to go back

Awesome bar-​b-​q! Discovered this tiny place on our last visit to North Myrtle Beach a year ago and couldn’t wait to go back this year. The pork is very tasty and has a great flavor. Several sauces to choose from, and they are very good so try them all. Lots of sides to choose from as well. Love the cold slaw, potato salad, and bar-​b-​q beans.
A pork sandwich and choice of side is very reasonably priced at $ 5.95 ! On this particular visit we were doing take out for 7. $ 44 fed 7 of us and we even had left overs to make sandwiches the following day. We all raved about how tasty everything was.
The place is not that big and there are only a few tables so we prefer to do takeout. Service is quick. Brittany waited on us this year and last. She is super helpful and very good at making sure everyone is taken care of. If you are a fan of good bar-​b-​q as I am, make sure to check this place out!

I have had a lot of barbecue in my life and Old South BBQ is one of the best barbecue places I have been to! Their wings are amazing!!! They are the best wings I have had in my life! The service is good, and you get your food quickly. Also, their pulled pork sandwiches are amazing!!! They have a sweet, bbq, mild, hot, and hurt you hot sauce. If you love barbecue, I highly recommend coming here.

Small spot with BIG taste! Was not expecting much from outside or inside of restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised! My wife and I split a order of mild wings. For «mild» they were a little hot but I actually thought they were perfect between no heat and too much heat. They had great flavor!
My niece got a burger, and loved it. Someone else got the ribs which they liked a lot. She had us taste her baked beans which were some of the best I’ve ever had. They had a great smokey taste. Everyone loved their food, and almost no one could finish everything on their plate. Good price for the portions. The menu had only the things you’d want from a quality barbecue restaurant.
Also, our server was super friendly and quick to help. They got busy later, and we had to wait a few minutes longer than normal to checkout, but that was understandable with the crowd.
Also, check the menu pictures. They have good family deals on barbecue for takeout if you want to eat in.

Husband and I are from Memphis so we came in skeptical. We both got chopped pork with BBQ baked beans and cole slaw. Psst… Don’t tell Memphis I said this but the BBQ beans here are WAY better than at home! GASP!
They give you a variety of sauces to choose from: mild (vinegar-​based), sweet (tomato-​based I think), spicy red (a more trad’l BBQ sauce), hot (vinegar-​based), and spicy mustard. I ended up loving the mustard sauce! The pork itself was tender and juicy.
Cole slaw wasn’t overly sweet– a pet peeve of mine.
Great service. Clean restrooms. Would definitely return!
