Curbside BBQ & Seafood

Exceptional BBQ, with even better customer service. The quality of the meat was incredible, the flavor… Perfect. Vinegar and paprika and smoke and salt shine through with the short rib. Plenty of food for a very small price. A super amazing deal, can’t recommend enough.

This place looks sketchy but you will not be disappointed. Everything we ordered had amazing flavor from the Lemonade, to the wings, shrimp, and fish; so delicious! The service was fast and friendly also.

Looking for good food, at a great price, by a local restaurateur? Then Curbside could be your next place for lunch. Like most people, I’ve driven by it for years. What you see from the street is their sign. Park and walk right down the concrete «driveway» right below the sign. And stop trying to look around to find the door. There is no door, as this restaurant has no inside. Walk right on up to the counter, and someone will come out to take your order.
Wife and I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and fried okra on the side (all meals come with 2 sides), and a riblet sandwich with mac&cheese and baked beans on the side. Both accompanied by unsweet tea. Once you order, take a seat at one of the three picnic tables until summoned back to the counter for pick up.
The pork sandwich was the better bet, with a good amount of pork in just the right amount of sauce (I hate it when the pulled pork is over-​sauced). The riblets were a tad overcooked and still had the bones in them meaning that they were better picked up and eaten off the bone than in a sandwich. The two standout sides were the baked beans and the mac&cheese. As with Matt C., we were skeptical to see a spoonful of grated cheese on top of the mac&cheese. But it works. While the mac&cheese comes to the party with all the creaminess that you would expect, the grated cheese added an extra bite of sharpness that really worked.
And each of these meals was $ 7. A good lunch, at a great price.

Bottom line: Good Bar BQ served up as it should be — Outdoors!
Met friends at Curbside Bar B.Q. for lunch today. One of us had come here for the first time (earlier this week) and was impressed so he suggested we check it out, and we did.
This is absolutely «Street Food» — as the name suggests. I imagine that in the early days, «Curbside BBQ» might have been just that. A place where you drove up and picked your order by the curb from someone running it out to you from the kitchen.
Nowadays, the «Curbside» approach has given way to four concrete round tables/​benches with umbrellas, right in front of the order-​counter.
There were all the usual suspects from which to choose, in addition to what I’ll call a «boutique» menu item (The «Peruvian Gold» Chicken). Instead of ordering what I SHOULD have ordered (the pulled pork, the ribs, you know — STANDARDS) — I opted for the Peruvian Gold.
Sensibly, the others ordered from the «Standard» list. (Wings, ribs, pulled pork).
I liked my «Peruvian Gold» Chicken. I did. The thing is, it was a Honey-​Mustard-​with-​a-​kick sauce and I’m very persnickety about what belongs on barbeque and what I consider South Carolina’s contribution to the cuisine (mustard) need not apply. Too late. I had to keep my peevish way in check as I enjoyed the delightful mustardy chicken. Mmmm. good…
(Don’t get me wrong — i absolutely respect the dish, the preparation, and the creative effort involved here — it’s just that I made an oath to stay away from mustardy barbeque years ago and, well, there I go breaking oaths…).
As I looked over at my friends’ plates — with their nice ribs, pulled pork, wings and such — I realized that this place was very good!
I guess the up-​side is that for you folks who think that mustard is a good idea on Barbeque, you’re in luck! — The Peruvian Gold is right up your alley. For the rest of you who like good Barbeque — you’re even in better luck! — The rest of the menu is non-​mustardy goodness!
Yep — I’ll certainly be back — now that I know the deal…

I’m ashamed at myself for not checking out Curbside years sooner. Years, I say!
***Outdoor seating only, three tables to choose from, order first, once food comes out you pay, ask for extra napkins b/​c you’ll need them, and the meal won’t even make a dent in your wallet***
The food undeniably speaks for itself. The pulled pork sandwich was meaty, saucy, and a downright explosion of flavor.
The mac n’ cheese is uniquely prepared with a heaping handful of grated cheese at the end. I didn’t think I’d be a fan, but oh I was!
And the baked beans were some of the best in recent memory. Served with huge chunks of shredded pork. But the BBQ sauce is the star of the show here. Incredibly sweet, but with the perfect amount of heat.
Talk to Henry, the man behind the legend. He’ll make you regret every second you’ve been missing his savory food over the last nine years.
Curbside, you’ll see me in a day or two!

We are from the north, where they don’t know how to make BBQ. Boy, did we get an education! Absolutely fantastic ribs, I’m still licking my fingers. Meat is slow smoked, sauce is sweet and just the right amount of spicy. Gotta sit outside at one of 3 tables. Henry is friendly and has the rib-​making down to a T. No beer served, but you’ll be so busy swooning over the ribs, you won’t miss it.

I was in desperate need. I was going to the FSU Clemson game and it was my first tailgate with my girls of the year. They were both now in school together and we got season tickets. My wife decided not to go up until the day of the game and I had to find a quick place for takeout. I had heard about curbside from a few other people I thought I’d give it a try. Boy was I not disappointed. The ribs were fantastic and needed no dipping sauce. The pulled pork with moist and well seasoned. The chicken was smokey but not dry. The macaroni and cheese had real smoked cheddar cheese baked in that made it fantastic. They had pulled pork that was moist and was fantastic with their homemade barbecue sauce. The baked beans had pork and bacon in them. The coleslaw taste like mamas. Absolutely fantastic would give it a very high marks.

This was one of my best barbeque experiences ever. $ 10 got me a generous portion of ribs slathered in my new favorite barbeque sauce, scrumptious baked beans, and a piece of deep fried corn covered in spices with sweet tea on the side. You can see the smoke coming out of the barbeque in the back so you know it’s legit. There are several stone tables and benches outside for you to sit and get covered in that delicious sauce. The owner was so nice and appreciative of our business, and kept coming out to check on us to see if we needed more napkins or refills on our sweet tea. Right across the street from FSU, imo barbeque that can’t be beat. The menu had catfish, chicken, and many other offerings as well.
