Great BBQ right here on James Island. Hidden slightly off Folly Road is Martins. A terrific, friendly staff, plenty of space to spread out in the dining room, the bar area or outside.
Jam up food, hand a band and they were damn good too. A spot I have often forgotten about on James Island, thank you for remedying that last night.

I have never been disappointed with any meal I have had here but the reason for this review is the slap yo mama smoked bologna sandwich! If you haven’t tried it , do yourself a favor and get it the next time you’re on James Island!

Service was amazing and very nice building with neat decor. The food was AMAZING and I mean absolutely to die for. I got the cheeseburger with mac n cheese, tasted like someone's papa and grandma put their heart and souls in that food. Didn't have to wait a long time for the food but honestly even if you did, I would genuinely say absolutely worth it. Pricing was fair for everything. Ps if you get a salad go with the visagarette, it's life changing.

Not the easiest place to navigate as far as knowing what to do/ where to go once you get there. Everybody was nice, the food was great. The lighting made me feel kinda sick though. I'm planning to go back and try it again during the day. Would recommend.

Not bad, but don’t come here expecting SC BBQ, cause this ain’t it. More like eastern NC.Not a lot of smoke on the pork, and was pretty bland without the only sauce they offer.Probably fine for Yankees. I didn’t have the brisket, so idk what the Texans would think about it.The smacky cheese is really good.Slaw in the creamy style but not as sweet as it appears.Not bad, but just average compared to real SC BBQ like Duke’s or Bessinger’s
Was sitting next to two locals on the plane from ATL to CHS and asked what their favorite BBQ joint is. They both said hands down, Martin's BBQ. We're staying in Folly Beach and Martin's is super close. The restaurant is quite large with both indoor and outdoor seating and a few different bar areas as well. They also have a drive thru and a carryout area. I had the brisket with fries and mac n cheese. The brisket was amazing, tender, smoky. The mac n cheese was okay, but the fries were absolutely stellar. They have 3 sauces-- a mustard base, a vinegar base and a thicker sweeter sauce. All good. My friends LOVED the ribs and the smoked turkey. Service was efficient and very friendly. It was a cold, rainy Monday night so it wasn't that busy. But the food was still fresh. We'll be back!!!! Recommend for sure.

Four years ago I originally rated at 4 stars. After waiting about a year, friends wanted to treat us to dinner. We were pleasantly surprised at the difference from our first visit. We now go frequently. The brisket is delicious! I also like the broccoli salad. There are a lot of options for all taste buds.
Spare ribs and brisket are very moist and slight smokey flavor. Very good.

Friendly, Fast, Savory. Shortly after ordering, there was enough time to select a table to get situated and begin conversations before dishes began arriving. The food was hot and freshly prepared. The plates were good-sized and flavorful. The house sauce was a but watery and didn't coat the dish well when drizzled over it. Table service helped to clear dishes and check on the quality of service received (which was just enough).Parking: Working is on loose gravel. There are several paved parking spaces within walking distance, but graveled areas lead up to the entrances.
