Wanna know what classic soul food tastes like? Look no further than Sgt. White's. I had the ribs, mac and cheese, collard greens, and a slab of cornbread. Here's the low down: Ribs: tasted like they had been stewed in a big pot of Sgt. White's thick, sweet, tomato-based BBQ sauce; fall off the bone tender, but not without the... More

Sgt. White is from Memphis, but spent most of his life here, and the pulled pork BBQ is a nice melange. Got the Memphis light sweetness with a little tang like NC. Thank goodness no heavy mustard sauce like they have in upland SC. I got 3 sides - okra gumbo which is mild, but wonderful flavor; collard greens nicely... More

Great restaurant with fantastic BBQ. Unfortunately the hours they are open are extremely inconvenient and strange. When you can make it when they are open, I recommend it.

Its only open for lunch, so be prepared to eat light for dinner. The barbeque is perfect, and the sides are all very tasty. True Southern fare. It is literally a 'hole-in-the-wall' location, but so comfortable. It is a very casual, home cooking place. Even though it does not have table service, I rate the service excellent because the wonderfully... More

Don't let its location in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot beside a bail bonds office deter you from this amazing authentic "home cooked" pit BBQ restaurant. I mention it's the absolute best BBQ in Beaufort but I really haven't had anything better in the South. Slow cooked ribs, fall off the bone, with a nicely spiced sauce. Succulent pulled pork... More

Sgt White's BBQ was absolutely delicious! This is somewhere you must go if you are in the area! The lady who took our order was so kind and took the time to tell us every option we had to eat that day. I tried the pulled pork and it was mouthwatering delicious. I also had the mac'n'cheese and fried okra,... More

My family had a great meal at Sgt White's last week. At $7.99 for meat and 2 sides, plus corn bread and a drink it is a great value. We loved the pulled pork, macaroni & cheese, fried okra, and the corn bread. I wish that someone had tried the fried chicken. Definitely a place to put on the regular... More

Wonderful barbecue and the southern vegetables are to die for. Best cornbread I've ever eaten. Stop by for lunch and you won't want dinner!

It takes a humble Navy man to admit that a Marine cooked his meal, which left him so full desert was not an option. With that said: We all know how fussy my NY behind is, and I always love a challenge, so I thought that the dare to eat at this Jar Head establishment was right up my alley.... More

Sgt White's has some of the best BBQ I have ever had, and I used to drive a truck and I have stopped at BBQ places all up and down the east coast. Sgt Whites is tied for first in my \book along with a place in Thomas GA
