Wholy Smoke Family Restaurant
The Story Behind Mauldin's Favorite BBQ Joint
From the first time we fired up our smokers in May 2020, Wholy Smoke Family Restaurant quickly stoked the fires of BBQ passion throughout the Mauldin community. Prep cooks could scarcely keep up with the demand as a city-block line formed and held strong from open to close on that very first day. The intoxicating aromas of all-wood smoked meats had announced the arrival of our pitmasters.
Within seven business days of opening our doors, the constant clamor for more allowed Wholy Smoke Family Restaurant to recoup our entire initial investment costs. The word – and craving – had spread that fast about our authentic Texas-style BBQ joined with real Southern country cooking.
Southern Hospitality, Served Daily
Our love for BBQ isn't just about the smoke – it's about the people. We offer more than just a meal. We provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere where friends and family can gather to enjoy delicious food and create lasting memories. Our dedication to real country cooking means that every dish, from our potato salad to our mac and cheese, is made with the same love we've had in our family for generations.
About us
Perfectly cooked slabs of BBQ meat are fine on their own, but what about the wood stoking the fire that gives them their subtly smoky flavor? At our BBQ restaurant in Mauldin, Texas-inspired, Southern-country cooking starts with a solid base of carefully selected wood strains, delicious recipes, and innovative spices.
The smoke brings the flavor, but trust us – we do too.
Our menu is packed full of classics you and your family crave, with a few added options to keep things fresh. You can’t go wrong with our all-wood-smoked options, even seafood! And because Southern hospitality is universal, we proudly offer vegan-friendly menu options. Join us at Wholy Smoke Family Restaurant and discover what all the talk is about.
