• The hash wasn't bad. I've had worse.
• The BBQ is baked in an oven and flavorless.

“Visited the Robert's BBQ on Rivers Ave. The place is very run down with lots of duct tape patching holes on the booths. Our order consisted of a rib plate and a BBQ plate. Both with hash, one with potato salad, and one with onion rings. First the meats. The ribs looked to be baked. They didn't really look boiled, but they may have been. I say baked as they were undercoked. Most boiled ribs fall off the bone (overcooked) and these were not like that at all. You could hardly bite through the meat they were so tough. There was absolutely no flavor except for the mustard based sauce slathered on top. The ribs were not seasoned at all. The BBQ I had was much the same. Baked in an oven and not seasoned except for that mustard sauce. This was some of the worst BBQ I've experienced in the SC Lowcountry. The hash & rice was only saving grace. It wasn't bad. The potato salad was obviously store bought and bland. The onion rings were the regular Charleston-style rings that several BBQ restaurants in the area serve. By Charleston style I mean over breaded and under onioned. There was a tiny little sliver of an onion ring surrounded by a batter that can only be described as hush puppy like. The rings are all bread and little onion (just like at all the Bessinger's places). I would not recommend anyone to visit Robert's for BBQ.”
