Post and Courier: Bessinger’s, a staple of Charleston BBQ, is shutting down its buffet
Bessinger’s, a bedrock of South Carolina barbecue, on Friday announced plans to immediately discontinue the element of its service most unique to the state’s barbecue culture: The buffet.
According to a restaurant spokeswoman, the West Ashley restaurant will use the dining room, which up until now housed the buffet, for banquets and Rotary Club meetings.
“They’re reviewing concepts for a future direction for the restaurant and see this as a time to re-group and better explore the options,” Elizabeth Boineau says.
