Crossroads BBQ: Where South Carolina Tradition Meets the Road

Nestled in the heart of St. George, South Carolina, Crossroads BBQ stands as a testament to authentic Lowcountry barbecue tradition. Whether you’re a local looking for your BBQ fix or a traveler on I-95 or I-26 seeking genuine SC barbecue, this beloved, local establishment delivers the real deal.

What Makes Crossroads Special

At Crossroads, barbecue isn’t just food—it’s a craft. They slow-smoke meats to perfection, creating that ideal balance of smoky flavor and tender texture that defines true Carolina barbecue. But what really sets them apart? Their signature sauces: a tangy yellow mustard-based sauce that’s quintessentially South Carolina, and a rich, sweet red sauce for those who prefer a ketchup-based profile.

Must-Try Menu Highlights

The Large BBQ Plate – A generous portion of their famous chopped pork, served over rice with creamy slaw and finished with their distinctive mustard sauce. This dish embodies everything great about SC barbecue.

Large Hash & Rice Plate – Don’t miss this regional specialty. Crossroads’ savory hash is a true taste of Lowcountry tradition that you won’t find everywhere.

Ribs That Fall Off the Bone – Choose between the 2-Rib or 3-Rib plates, each served with your pick of two classic Southern sides. These ribs showcase why Crossroads has built such a loyal following.

Beyond the Pit – Not just barbecue, Crossroads also serves satisfying burgers, their signature BBQ sandwich, and even comfort classics like grilled cheese for varied appetites.

Sides & Sweets Done Right

The sides at Crossroads aren’t just afterthoughts—they’re carefully crafted complements to the main event. Their creamy baked mac & cheese achieves that perfect balance of rich, cheesy comfort with a golden-brown top that adds textural contrast to smoky meats. The savory baked beans simmer with just the right amount of sweetness and smokiness, while their fresh green beans are cooked Southern-style—tender but never mushy, often with hints of bacon that tie beautifully into the barbecue theme.

But the real star among sides is their hash & rice—a distinctly South Carolina creation that combines finely chopped pork with seasonings and spices, creating a savory, almost pâté-like consistency that’s utterly unique to the region. Served over fluffy white rice, it’s comfort food at its finest and a must-try for first-time visitors.

The creamy cole slaw deserves special mention too—it’s not just a garnish but a crucial component that cuts through the richness of the barbecue with its cool, tangy crunch.

For dessert, their banana pudding is made the old-fashioned way with layers of vanilla wafers, fresh bananas, and rich custard topped with fluffy meringue or whipped cream. The chocolate delight offers a decadent finish for chocolate lovers, while their rotating selection of weekly dessert specials keeps regular customers coming back to try something new. These aren’t store-bought treats—they’re homemade with the same care and attention that goes into everything at Crossroads.
