Many people know Melvin’s BBQ for its award-winning BBQ, but<br />
only locals know that Melvin’s serves some of the best cheeseburgers<br />
in <strong>Charleston</strong>. Owned by third generation pit-master, Melvin David<br />
Bessinger, Melvin’s BBQ has been serving a variety of cheeseburgers<br />
since 1981 in Mount Pleasant and on James Island. You may ask,<br />
“What makes a Melvin’s burger so special?” Although they can’t share<br />
all of their secrets, the legendary taste comes from a combination of<br />
condiments: Duke’s mayo and French’s mustard on a toasted bun along<br />
with fresh local lettuce, tomato and onion. Whether dining with family,<br />
friends, or alone, everyone needs to try Melvin’s award-winning burger!<br />
Melvins BBQ has a wide range of prices, with single burgers ranging<br />
from $8 to $22 for the Big D’s Triple Bacon Cheeseburger, fries and<br />
drink combo ranging from $12 to $26. The basket combo includes the<br />
burger and drink, as well as fries plus onions rings and ranges from $11<br />
to $25. Every burger on the menu can be customized with an array of<br />
spreads and veggie toppings, making Melvins BBQ the perfect burger<br />
joint for family-friendly meals.<br />

its specialty blend of ground short rib, brisket and chuck which makes<br />
for a rich and juicy burger bursting with flavor. The Free Rein burger<br />
proves classic toppings can be done just right, with smothered onions,<br />
cheddar and mayo served on a butter brioche bun with crispy-fried<br />
onions on top. On the side, you’ll find the Community Table signature<br />
hand-cut fries and, of course, extra napkins.<br />
