Mose’s recipes originated in West Africa over 300 years ago, and they have remained synonymous with the lowcountry ever since. Over the years, Bennett Brown, Jr. and Aunt Virginia cooked together and perfected Mose’s secret techniques. Then one summer, Bennett and his wife Mary Alice held a party to celebrate the end of summer. They wanted to show their Atlanta friends a real taste of Carolina cuisine, so they pit cooked a whole pig and showcased it with all of their homemade sides. The lucky guests enjoyed the food so much that the event became the "must attend" annual get together at the Brown’s home.

By 1986, the entrepreneurial spirit hit their son, Bennett A. Brown III, and he turned this family tradition into a full-blown barbecue company. It wasn’t long before Atlanta fell in love with their hand pulled barbecued meats and the unparalleled homemade sides. Soon LowCountry was serving crowds of up to 2500 people.

In 1988 LowCountry Barbecue catered the National Democratic Convention, and in 1996, served crowds during the Olympic Summer Games. Even Julia Child herself has enjoyed our famous ‘cue, staying at an event until the pork was completely gone. Today LowCountry is the official catering service for the Atlanta Steeplechase, where we get to share our southern hospitality with the world.

The art of backyard and pit cooked barbecue has always been a part of LowCountry Barbecue history. From generation to generation, our families have celebrated reunions, weddings and birthdays with lowcountry barbecue. It's a tradition that is the basis of our restaurant, and we want to extend that hospitality on to you. Let us show you the best the South has to offer.
