34 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Columbia

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“The cooks are not changing the oil while frying the chicken. Although the chicken looks appealing, it tastes burnt. I love Famous Dave's, but the location in Columbia, MD is in dire need of a makeover. The booth chairs are worn down, the floors are cracked and messy, and they all need to be replaced.

The bar also needs an upgrade; it's old, looks broken, and is dirty. The windows require new blinds—perhaps tinted windows would be a better option since the current blinds are filled with dust, dirt, and bugs. You can't even close them properly without dirt getting into your food.

It's time to update the restaurant's appearance and give it a modern look. Trust me, if you improve the cleanliness and ambiance, you will consistently earn five-star reviews. People love dining in a clean restaurant and will keep coming back. Attracting Gen Z and Alpha generations requires an updated look for your establishment.“

“I love this place. I have been going here since the early 2000s. Their mambo sauce is incredible. Its just a shame I moved 2 hours away and can no longer get the mambo sauce. I tried store bought and its crap compared to their mambo. I gotta figure out the recipie so I can make it at home and not drive 2 hours just for a mambo cheesesteak“

“Great food and awesome staff.“

“LH is a pretty chill place to get a good steak. Our server was AWESOME. Even though there was a small issue with the order, our server was proactive and corrected everything within minutes. Excellent communication and follow through. Will return.“

“I took my dad tonight for Father’s Day and it was very busy. We were told an hour and half wait so we waited. From the crew at the reservation desk to the lady who took is us to our table and Evan our waiter everything was awesome. Even with being crazy busy service was great and food was great. I highly recommended Texas Roadhouse Columbia“

“food is ok. have had better. very loud salsa music the whole time. I,m sure thats for the kitchen help to enjoy. no one else liked it. had to scream to talk to my friend the whole time. won't go back. I don't like to pay 130 for lunch and not be able to enjoy it. thats just stupid.“

“Mothers Day lunch at Corner Stable in Columbia was excellent The staff and owner are always so friendly and the food was excellent. The Mother’s Day combo consisted of a 6 oz filet which was amazing, shrimp and a crab cake and it did not disappoint. we were a table of 12 and service and meal were excellent highly recommend this location. If you would like a relaxing environment with friendly people and excellent food give them a try“

“Food was delicious! Will be coming back! First time coming here and it was so good, you won’t regret it!“

“I have recently discovered Pioneer Pit Beef, and what a gem it is. Good old-fashioned pit beef. No nonsense! The super size sandwich is enormous, and worth every penny. You might have to wait in line, but it is definitely worth the wait. Buy an extra sandwich, because you will want another one after you taste the best pit beef in Baltimore!“

“Great food - great attitude ; superb customer service“

“First time visiting here. Halal BBQ is a relatively new concept around here and wanted them ncheck it out. Ordered two Halal Beef Brisket sandwich combos with french fries and a canned soft drink each, a Halal Bacon and Brisket combo sandwich with curly fries and can of coke, Mozzarella cheese sticks combo and a chicken tender serving. Overall the family enjoyed the food, my beef bacon was over cooked and the strips of beef brisket were thin slivers of meat with a barely discernable flavor coated with copious amounts of BBQ sauce. First impression was so-so, for me. Seating was barely adequate with people standing over your head to order. It was night time and rainy sonif they have outdoor seating, it was not part of the equation tonight. I will definitely visit again as I like to support small upcoming businesses and I like the concept of contemporary American food for those who prefer to eat Halal.“

“The Famous Davie in Laurel was an excellent choice for our group dinner! We will definitely be coming back for another group gathering and highly recommend The Famous Davie to anyone looking for great food, outstanding service, and a fun atmosphere!“

“short and sweet, only had the brisket, but I'll be back to try more of the menu. BEST BRISKET I'VE EVER HAD!! And I'm old, I've had a lot!, easy to get to off 695“

“Our family and a friends family meet at Kpot 2/3 times a month for dinner. The service is always great and the tablet makes ordering super convenient! We celebrated our daughter’s 10th birthday tonight and she really enjoyed the cheesecake (her bday dinner was also free which we didn’t know and thought was very nice)!“

“Very welcoming place. Unpretentious. Drinks were delish. Espresso martini! We love seeing people of varied cultures, just hanging and talking with each other. I was reluctant to get the ribs because I read a review saying they were dry. Mine were delicious. It wasn’t a saucy rib, and that’s how I like it. I’m sure you could ask for sauce. Husband had steak and rice. The staff is very accommodating. The onion rings were great. Wish I had some left! Plenty of TV’s to see a game in the bar area. There is also a dining room area away from the tv/bar area. Comparing this experience to a Navy Yard sports bar yesterday, we enjoyed today’s Bare Bones meal over yesterday’s DC sports bar hands down. Our server was great. Friendly, quick and respectful. It was like going to your friend’s house for a meal. We’ll be back…Definitely to watch some football this season. I’ll have to try something else next time to see if their other dishes fare as well.“

“Great food at a great value. I am an instant fan.“

“This is one of the best place to buy Chicken from, Me and my sister comes here all the time. My first time here I brought the chicken wing lunch special and never made it out the parking lot with it. When we have parties instead of cooking chicken most of the time we get up early Saturday morning to come to the market to buy 100 or more piece for the party and we buy some to eat on the way home. Love the place“

“Great place! Welcoming and friendly. The seafood pancakes are delicious.“

“Wonderful service and equally wonderful food ! So glad to have good quality Korean food in our local community!“

“Great experience with Ahmed Ahdulkareem as our waiter! He was quick to change grills, offer refills and bring out anything we needed! 10/10! 💚💚💚“

“We love supporting local businesses and kept returning hoping that maybe we just went at bad times. Unfortunately, everything keeps being mediocre. The consistency in portion size and taste could be worked on.“

“Everything at this place is recommended!“

“Best Pakistani food in the dmv, highly recommended“

“Great place. customer service is friendly. DJ do great job with music“

“I ordered brunch from here over the weekend and got the shrimp & grits. My food was delicious and the portions were big! While I was there someone else was picking up their food and they ordered a cheesesteak that looked so damn good! I’ll definitely be back for that. I won’t lie it’s not the cheapest brunch/lunch option BUT it’s definitely worth it AND it’s BLACK OWNED!“

“The Canopy catered our work party and the food was amazing! The food was hot when we picked it up. The service was spot on. The communication was outstanding! Highly recommend.“

“We had an amazing dining experience recently when 3 of us decided to eat at a restaurant outside of the hotel where we were staying. I am so glad we chose Longhorn. Otherwise, we would have missed out on experiencing the service that Shaun provided. Even though he serviced several other tables, he still extended the same amount of attention and care to each of us. His level of customer services was more than just “excellent.” It was “superb.” He made us feel like we were valued and he didn’t miss an opportunity to check to see if we had everything we needed and we were enjoying our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. If I were hiring, Shaun would be my first selection and he would be used as that model employee to train others on what is expected of them as a representative of the company and what we want our customers to experience. Shaun, keep up the good work. We will be back soon.“

“This was my second time eating here. The last time was years ago, and they didn't include lettuce with the BBQ, which was one of the reasons I started going elsewhere. However, my sister chose this restaurant for her birthday, so we gave it another try.
I'm happy to say they now include lettuce! The banchan was decent, the kimchi was delicious, and the BBQ was excellent. We ordered the second combo with the samgyeopsal and marinated beef. My brother-in-law did the grilling (as usual!), and I ordered the large naengmyeon (cold noodles in a delicious icy broth). I ate until I felt like I was going to explode!
The only downsides were that the space felt a bit cramped, and the prices were slightly higher than the other Korean restaurant we usually visit on Bethany Lane. Nevertheless, the most important thing is that the food tasted authentically Korean. 😋 The waitress was also very attentive, which made the experience even better.“

“Best bbq. Banana pudding dishes need to be bigger, like a gallon!!!“

“Our Server was very kind, attentive, helpful, friendly, on point and his name is Jordan!

Jordan you have such an amazing spirit May the Lord continue to bless you with health and wisdom, you made our first time visit experience extremely special!

Amazing place and the food on point!

From the moment we entered the host was on it! The manager was like an eagle love it!“

“Great service, quality and price!“

“Service was great, very attentive staff. Soju recommendations hit the spot perfectly. The restaurant was also clean and tidy. Food was delicious and meats for the hotpot were definitely fresh and tasty! Would definitely recommend going again!“
