Best Barbeque in Bluffton

#1 Bluffton BBQ

After consuming the best of the best in Bluffton, we have come to the conclusion that you won’t find a better barbeque sandwich than one from Bluffton BBQ! Owner Ted Huffman and his wife can be found in the kitchen cooking long before most of us have finished our morning coffee. A barbeque connoisseur, Ted understands what separates great barbeque from the best barbeque.  The type of wood you use (hickory), and the time you spend smoking the meat (8 to 12 hours) are two critical elements to successful pork. Without attention to detail, Ted says “you’re just cooking roast pork”.

Is there a secret sauce? You betcha! Ted’s process involves dry rub, no injections, and smoking at the right temperature. Stitch the mascot (a pink pig that sits outside the front entrance) is most likely Ted’s secret to success. You can’t miss Stitch! When you come to the front door you’ll see Stitch and her famous wardrobe.

What should you eat if you go? Try their award-winning pulled park sandwich with Texas toast and a slice of tomato or if you’re hankering for something bigger (and you have the appetite of a giant) try the Fat Basturd Plate. This plate comes with a half-pound of bbq, 3 ribs, half a chicken, and two sides (we recommend the Brunswick stew and seasonal greens).

Ted’s moto; A product of quality creates its own demand. That’s all you need to know. Expect nothing but a great experience when you visit Bluffton BBQ.

Remember, Bluffton BBQ is open only Wednesday through Saturday. Wednesday through Friday there open from 11 – 7ish and Saturday from noon until 7ish. And bring your big boy pants…Ted doesn’t like sissys!
