"Pork Nachos in Irmo, SC - Roy's Grille - The only way to enjoy chef Chris Williams’s smoky pork in the past was to join the line outside his sliver of a restaurant at a gas station. Now Williams serves it up in a spacious new location in Irmo, a suburb of Columbia. While you can’t go wrong with the South Carolina native’s pork spare ribs, beef brisket or potato salad with peppery dry-cured bacon, the loaded nachos are a fan favorite. They’re a combo of freshly fried, barbecuespiced tortilla chips with pulled pork (or blackened chicken), queso blanco and a choice of five barbecue sauces, including tomatoey Sweet Sassy Red or Ole Gold, a tangier rendition made with mustard. Try ’em both!"
Garden & Gun, Eater, and The State
Garden & Gun spotlighted the Carolina Melt. Eater called Roy's a safe place to fill up. The State covered the move to Irmo that the community made happen.
