Palmira Barbecue

The Charleston BBQ scene continues to expand, and that’s a very good thing for all of us. The latest promising newcomer is Palmira, which began as a pop-up and quickly gained a following for its combo of Texas and Carolina styles with seasonings and sauces inspired by the pitmaster’s home of Puerto Rico. The buttery beef cheeks are a must, always juicy with crunchy bark on the outside. There’s a small patio with a gigantic mural, a dining room with family heirlooms all around, and a huge counter where they’re slicing all the meats. If you’re planning on going during the weekend, get there earlier in the day since some dishes often sell out.
