The Restaurant
Melvin Bessinger's Barb-B-Que Restaurants have been a South Carolina Landmark since 1939. We have become famous for the best St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, Chicken and "All Ham" Bar-B-Que in the South. But don't take our word for it, come on down and experience the flavor. We have 2 locations, Mt Pleasant and James Island.
