As of November 1, the beloved Momma Brown’s doors are closed, with patrons—who can’t fathom a world without their vinegar-based, pit-cooked ’cue—awaiting word on whether the 14-year-old restaurant will reopen in a new spot. Luckily, Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ is just across the bridge on Sullivan’s Island (and also has a West Ashley location). The vibe here is decidedly more trendy (you’ll find barflies watching sports on multiple flat screens), but the dry-rubbed, slow-smoked pulled pork, chicken, turkey, and brisket is authentically delicious. Sullivan’s Island: 2209 Middle St., (843) 883-3131 or West Ashley: 1205 Ashley River Rd., (843) 225-7427, www.hometeambbq.com
