In a seafood city like Charleston, one might not expect good barbecue. But a visit to this West Ashley meat emporium will change your mind. Here, chef Anthony DiBernardo keeps the fires burning for his slow-roasted and wood-smoked meats. Choose from cut-to-order pulled pork, melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket, smoked turkey, and more—all served straight from the smoker so you can sauce it yourself. Yummy Southern sides round out the offerings. 1217 Savannah Hwy., (843) 225-3805, www.swigandswinebbq.com
