Melvin's Legendary Bar-b-que is a BBQ style restaurant located in Charleston. As the oldest local family-owned barbecue restaurant in South Carolina, legendary Melvin’s has been dishing out authentic wood-fired barbecue since 1939. Owner and pit master Melvin David Bessinger hails from the “first family of mustard-based barbecue.” His father, Melvin, was 10 years old when he found his dad, Big Joe Bessinger, and a friend in a farm shed concocting the original tangy mustard sauce that would put the Palmetto State on the mustard-based barbecue map.
