Wholy Smoke Family Restaurant

Wholy Smoke Family Restaurant is a barbecue restaurant that smokes its meats over carefully selected wood. Ribs, pulled pork, sausage, beef brisket and chicken wings are the core of the menu, with seafood and vegan options alongside. The Texas-inspired, Southern-country cooking draws praise from reviewers for the sides and generous portions.

The restaurant is temporarily closed after a fire in late 2024, and the plan is to rebuild and reopen, so check before making a trip. Before the closure it handled catering for groups from about 12 to 1,500 people, and its food truck served ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sides around town. The restaurant is at 447 W Butler Rd in Mauldin.
