Located on the corner of the Highway 17 Bypass and 62nd Avenue North in Myrtle Beach, Little Pigs BBQ specializes in whole pork shoulders rubbed with spices and slow cooked until it’s fall-off-the-bone tender. Prepared South Carolina style, the meat is then piled high on a bun with delicious vinegar-based sauce. Little Pigs BBQ also has plenty of traditional sides like baked beans, hush puppies and fries, along with the always-popular sweet tea. If you’re looking for the quintessential hole in the wall with lip-smackin’-good food, Little Pigs is your place.

Located oceanfront about 5 miles south of The Strand at 2985 S. Ocean Boulevard, Damon’s Grill specializes in big, meaty, char-grilled ribs slathered in a delicious BBQ sauce.

Finally, we have the hidden gem Pop Pop’s Pit BBQ. This BBQ joint is off the beaten path on Highway 707 in Myrtle Beach — but if you love BBQ, it is worth the drive. A family-run barbecue restaurant, Pop Pop’s smokes its meats slow and low so it will be tender and juicy. Pulled pork, BBQ ribs and the very popular hand-breaded, fried-to-order chicken are just a few of the mouthwatering offerings.          

These are just a few of the great BBQ restaurants the Grand Strand has to offer. Come celebrate America’s birthday this year with a big rack of ribs or some delicious pulled pork while you are staying at The Strand in sunny Myrtle Beach.
