Charleston favorite Lewis Barbecue announced it will expand to Greenville in 2022.
It’s been a big week for pitmaster John Lewis, who on Wednesday revealed that his Mexican-inspired concept in Charleston Juan Luis would take over the space currently occupied by Workshop this fall.
In Greenville, Lewis Barbecue will take over Tommy’s Country Ham House, which will close in May. After renovations are complete, Lewis will serve the same brand of Central Texas-inspired fare found in Charleston, with favorites like his award-winning brisket, pork spareribs, pulled pork, turkey and hot guts sausage. The new restaurant, located a mile and a half north of recently rebranded Greenville transplant Husk Barbecue, will feature a large smokehouse with custom-made pits, along with indoor and outdoor seating.
“Since moving to South Carolina six years ago, I’ve been blown away by the way locals love food, especially barbecue,” Lewis said in a press release. “We’ve welcomed a lot of Greenville folks to our Charleston spot, and I can’t wait to set up shop there permanently and be a part of the city’s vibrant community.”
Lewis Barbecue Greenville is targeting an early 2022 opening date. For more information, follow on Instagram, @lewisbarbecuegvl.
