Smoking Pig vs Shealeys

I just moved to Clemson from Lexington for school and I’ve enver had Smoking Pig, but I’ve had Shealy’s many times. How comparable are the two?

Shealys is good, but Smoking Pig is special. Enjoy.

I'm not sure how or why a barbecue place chooses not to have hash & rice on the menu.

True BBQ in West Columbia has the best hash and rice I've ever had. Pretty good BBQ too, they have a big ol smoker out front so you know it's legit.

HASH: Been making it for 50 years and its gone before it gets to refrigerator. 1) one part beef 2) one part pork 3) boil till it falls apart 4) add proportional diced onion depending on size, think big on onion! 5) pepper heavily and some salt 6) enjoy
you will be amazed how much the onion will absorb the boiling h20.

Coming from Texas, I didn't learn about it until I had a roommate ask if I wanted some hash. I had to ask him to repeat himself.
Never really got a taste for it, personally.

Go to any BiLo in cootville or Chapin and look for Cece Dowd’s hash. Careful, it’s addictive.

At Shealy's as yoy know, you pay your way in and eat your way out. Buffet style, gut buster.
At Smoking Pig you'll pay as much, if not more money for whatever kind of plate you choose off their menu. Not buffet style, so not as huge a risk of busting your gut open in public. Waitresses have the best butts in town, or so their shirts say.

Agreed wholeheartedly here. My family is from Batesburg-Leesville and Shealy's is a staple. Wait in line for 20 minutes and then eat your heart out. Can't beat a buffet that includes a desserts. I usually eat my weight in the hash, banana pudding, and butterscotch pudding.
HOWEVER
If we're just asking who has the "better" BBQ, I'd have to say Smokin' Pig. I'm a pulled pork lover and I like theirs better. Their brisket is also better. But if you're a hash lover, you can't beat Shealy's.
So in conclusion...it depends on what you want. They're both worth visiting.

Shealy's is a great buffet, great sides, on Fridays great catfish!
Aug 21, 2018, 3:38 PM

BUT, their pulled pork is average at best! Not even the best in the small town of Leesville...that would be Jackie Hite's Barbecue. Go to Hite's on Friday for the whole pig hog pickin'. Get whichever part of the pig you prefer...shoulder, ham, rib...whatever you like best. And they certainly have hash!

Smokin' Pig has some of the best sauce I've ever had. Shealy's has that (and I know I'm blaspheming being a South Carolinian) that nasty mustard sauce. Smokin' Pig hands down. My brother and sister-in-law, who is from Chapin, had Shealy's cater their wedding. I left and got McDonald's on the way home so I had something that tasted better.

They didn't have fried chicken at the wedding, or I'd have been all over that. It was nothing but mustard BBQ and mustard hash. I did have a side of corn, which was good, but that wasn't enough. McD's was literally my only option from where we were.

I agree with you. Shealy's is NOT GOOD. The only reason people think it's good is because they're from some bum-phuck tiny SC town and have never experienced a high quality restaurant. Only good thing I can say about Shealys is the green beans, dank AF.

Funny you think the green beans are the best thing at Shealy's
Aug 21, 2018, 10:35 PM
|
|
They're absolutely my least favorite item there, too salty and overcooked. Shealy's has plenty of great sides...the creamed corn, baby limas, apples with carrots and some pretty good desserts. But when it comes to the pulled pork, go about three blocks down the road to Jackie Hite's. Their pulled pork is much better!

Yeah Black's is good, but not better than Smoking Pig in my opinion. The brisket at Smokin Pig is unbeatable. Black's is my second favorite in the upstate though.

Shealys is cooked with gas; SP smokes with wood. That should be all you need to know. Shealys is good but it's roast pork with mustard sauce. You don't need sauce to enjoy SPs pulled pork - it's just there on the side if you want it. Shealys serves brisket that is braised in liquid - blasphemy. SPs brisket is smoked TX style. Again it requires no sauce. As someone posted its two totally different animals. Both are good and have their place but if you want real BBQ go to SP. also hash is not a Cola thing - lots of upstate hash particularly Union county. It is uniquely a sc thing as far as I know - maybe some in GA.

BBQ is a cult. Everyone has their favorite place and in that persons mind it is the best. So in the future, before you go around trashing a BBQ joint, just remember the Hatfield-McCoy feud started over less.

Probably shouldn't have said nasty. Wasn't so much dirty/nasty as the food was just not good. Very dry pork. I lived in cola a few years after Clemson and a colleague's wife was from O'burg. He'd often bring Q and hash to the office. The hash was great. Wish I knew the location he went to. Live in winston now and folk here have no idea what hash is. They think it's something we eat in sc only because it comes with rice.

I grew up in Blackville and we lived at Duke's when I was younger. If you really wanted something special though, go to Miller's Bread Basket and get some smothered pork chops and broccoli casserole. Don't forget a loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Bread to take home.

The pulled pork at SP is the best I’ve had, and the sauces are excellent (I like to combine them). The real separator to me is the sides, though I do like good hash and rice. The jalapeño grits at SP are reason enough to go.

Smoking Pig has better BBQ than Shealys hands down. However, Shealys does have a greater variety of sides. I’m not a hash guy but most people expect hash at a BBQ place and the Pig doesn’t carry Mac n cheese either

potato salad, creamed corn, green beans and lima beans. I hate the hash - it's more mustard than meat.
Go to The Pig for the smoked meats, including ribs, and the sweet potato fries and loaded potato casserole. The fried okra is pretty danged good too.
They truly are two very different styles.

SP has good pulled pork, but not much different than several places I have been. Their Brisket.... WOW. I have had good brisket but never any as good as the Smokin' Pig. As for Shealeys... it's buffet. You get good some times, average others. Dukes, IMO is the same way. If you like Shealey's you will probably like Mutt's BBQ. Value over quality. My vote is Smokin' pig between the two.

I live and work in Liberty and my co-workers and I hit the Pig in Easley every Friday. Those fine gentlemen and lovely ladies know us by name and treat us right. There isn't a meal like it for miles around. Yeah it stinks that they don't have hash and rice but the rest of their sides make up for it. The jalapeno cheese grits and sweet potato fries are simply ridiculous! Every single thing on the menu is absolutely ridiculous. I didn't see anyone mention how awesome their ribs are!

No Comparison...... Shealy's is not good
Aug 21, 2018, 1:07 PM
|
|
I've been to almost all the BBQ places mentioned here and most multiple times.....just ask my doctor. The best BBQ is debatable among a number of joints but the Hash is not. Only about 1/2 the places serve hash, seems most of the newer ones don't.
Hash is clearly Dukes, the only ones that are even in the same stratosphere are the ones from Dukes coaching tree. Antleys in Oburg(believe they used to work for Dukes) and Palmetto Pig in Columbia(believe Antley started that)-- there are probably some others
About 50% of the other places have tolerable hash - none that I'd make a trip for like the above. The rest serve something called hash that is just various degrees of nastiness.
The BBQ at Dukes and the others from Dukes'coaching tree is nothing to write home about. It's good, not great and compared to a Smoking Pig would be considered bland. What I do like about Dukes and makes it ok since you're really going for the Hash is that they don't pre-sauce the Q. You can pick your sauce and put as little or as much as you'd like on it. They lean toward mustard but they usually have the others. Season your pork or beef how you want to when you're cooking but don't ******* drown it in sauce once it's off, let the customer handle that!!
As for BBQ- love Smokin Pig- ranks high and I have been to most in-state and many out of state. BBQ in general is kind of like fried chicken- hard to screw up so the good ones are separating themselves on the smoker and making their's great!

Lewis BBQ in Charleston is best brisket I've had. He cooked with Aaron Franklin in one of the most famous bbq joints in Texas

Smoking Pig is extremely overpriced for mediocre food. However Bubbas BBQ and Bash in Spartanburg is the best around.

I’m a fan of smokin pig pulled pork, brisket, and sides are all good.
Speaking of hash, the first time I had hash/rice was from Jus BBQ that used to be next to the Esso Club. I’m sure part of the reason was proximity but I liked Jus BBQ a lot.

Loved that place. Just bbq was awesome. Great pulled pork cooked over pecan wood. I don't recall the hash specifically but it was a good spot. Mr Quattlebom was there - assume he ran the place.

Shealy's has it all. Salad bar, main and side dish buffet,

desert bar. Three different flavored BBQ, hash, pulley bone chicken, liver nips, chicken livers, chicken gizzards, rice, mashed potatoes, green beans, greens, butter beans, and on and on. A picky eater can find something to eat. They are hard to beat. Other places have better BBQ and hash, but don't have Shealy's selection.
