The Spot
Lewis Barbecue brings Central Texas-style barbecue to Greenville's Viola Street. The custom-made smokers out front, welded by the pitmaster himself, are the first thing anyone notices pulling in; inside, John Lewis works the counter, slicing brisket cut-to-order and sold by the pound.

Brisket anchors the menu, with sides like corn pudding, collard greens, mac and cheese, chili, and fries rounding out the plate. A large bar and backyard patio extend the space well past the order counter, giving the Greenville location room to function as a hangout as much as a barbecue joint.

TOWN Carolina named Lewis Barbecue a city magazine favorite for 2026.
