With more than a dozen primo BBQ joints, the city ranks third nationally.
Roll over Memphis, and tell Kansas City the news — when it comes to BBQ, bubba, Greenville is no slouch. So says the Web site Livability.com, which ranked Greenville third in its list of the top 10 places for BBQ in the United States. Just one caveat: The site said it based its list on cities other than those typically assumed to be 'Q Meccas, such as the aforementioned Memphis and Kansas City.

In our last Readers' Choice contest on barbecue, we asked readers in Easley, Mauldin and Taylors to tell us who had the "best barbecue in town." Now we are taking those three winners and pitting them against one another. The three places have been chosen: So which joint's barbecue reigns supreme? That is up to you. Vote for your favorite place in the poll below, and don't forget to tell us why in the comments section. To ensure more accurate results, we have instituted a new way to determine winners, by using a voting system that awards points not only for straight poll votes, but also extra points for comments, and reviews and ratings…

They have three locations, Jan, one in Simpsonville, one on Wade Hampton and one on Woodruff Road. I've never had Henry's BBQ, but my sister's boss gives her a ham from Henry's Smokehouse every Christmas, and the ham is always wonderful. more ›
