Home Team BBQ
A barbecue restaurant group founded in Charleston, SC in 2006, serving slow-cooked meats and Southern comfort food alongside a whiskey-led bar program, live entertainment, and catering across the Southern United States.
Home Team BBQ is a barbecue restaurant group that began in 2006 as a single location in Charleston, South Carolina, and has since grown into a multi-regional destination across the Southern United States. The original restaurant, Fiery Ron's Home Team BBQ, opened in a converted mid-1900s gas station and serves slow-cooked meats and Southern comfort food in a setting that combines low-and-slow barbecue traditions with a fine-dining sensibility. Its ribs earned national recognition, named "Most Life-Changing Ribs in America" by Esquire Magazine.
The business extends beyond the dining room. Each location runs an ever-evolving bar program featuring an expansive American whiskey selection, frozen cocktails and craft beer, and offers live entertainment as part of the experience. Catering is also available. The group operates within the restaurants, food and beverage, casual dining, bar and nightlife, and catering sectors.
The company describes its origins as grassroots: founded with little money and the support of friends and family. Its stated commitments include creating opportunities for loyal staff, giving back to the local community, and keeping its food and sourcing fresh and local. The atmosphere it aims for is fun and neighbourhood-oriented, grounded in Southern hospitality.
