At long last the day has finally arrived! About a year and a half after it was announced, Lewis Barbecue is opening today! Texas pitmaster John Lewis has been teasing the Holy City with pop-ups and one off events, but starting at 11 am, Charlestonians can enjoy his delicious BBQ six days a week.
Here's what you need to know about the city's newest restaurant:

Lewis Barbecue will host a grand opening party on Sunday, July 10th from noon to 8 pm. The event will serve as a fundraiser for the restaurant’s neighbor, Union Baptist Church, a 100-year-old church that is in urgent need of a new roof. The “Raise the Roof” fundraiser will feature the full menu, local brews, cocktails, wine, raffle prizes, a live auction, and music provided by local bands. 100% of the proceeds raised will go to Union Baptist.
