The man who worked when I was there was personable and made me feel welcome. What more can you ask for somewhere you spend your money?

I love the people at this store, they are so sweet, attentive, not racist and appreciative of their customers. I literally go out of my way to support their store, not to mention they have the best candy and snacks!!!

The guy who works here is very kind. My favorite place to get a quick snack and drink!
Texas-born and Tennessee-reared Cody Taylor and former South Korean teen pop star-turned-chef Jiyeon Lee are partners in life and in Heirloom. Sundry sorts of wood are piled on the patio, as each is used to smoke a different type of barbecue. The spicy Korean-style barbecue sandwich is not wicked hot, but blends Korean flavors with a fresh kimchi coleslaw atop a sweet pile of smoked pork: Carolina meets Korea. Fresh-tasting Brunswick stew boasts a vinegary tang. Spare ribs show the requisite pink smoke ring, proof of the cooking method (slow, over wood). Four sauces rest on the table: a Carolina vinegar-pepper sauce; a smoky-sweet Tennessee style; a peppery Texas style; and perhaps the best, KB, for Korean Barbecue, thick, sweet and just slightly zipped up with spice. Thanks to a local ordinance, Heirloom no longer offers dine-in, only take-out and catering, although you can stand on the patio and eat if you wish.
