38 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Columbia

“Stopped at Railroad BBQ for lunch while visiting Columbia. Food was amazing, staff super friendly and enjoyed checking out the historical decor. Would definitely recommend!“

“I've dealt with Mission BBQ in Columbia a few times now. Every time they exceed my expectations. Deseray and Cayce both gave exceptional service and the food was amazing. Highly recommend for a quick bite to eat or to cater a work event!“

“Today I visited this restaurant for the first time along with my family after traveling over an hour just to get to them. We were blown away by the service, the food was fabulous, atmosphere was great and overall experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Loved this Mom and Pop style food stop. Reminds me of the old corner kitchens from when I was younger.

I got the cheeseburger basket all the way, which came with fries and also got a small side of onion rings. The fries were seasoned perfectly and that burger was MASSIVE! I snacked on the onion rings during my drive so I didn't get a chance to get a picture of them but they were great, too!

If you are looking for that original, small-town, corner kitchen feel, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be back anytime I am in this part of town.

Parking: Parking is slim and you may have to park on one of the side streets but the the food is worth it.“

“Very Good ! Glad we stopped by after a day at the Zoo .“

“Been to Sandhills and Harbison few times for hotpot. Food fresh, environment spacious and staffs all great/friendly/helpful. Only difference, both branches with different menu. Sandhill don’t have free flow ice cream and longan as dessert. Soup base, I personally like their Korean seafood tofu and my kids like their tomato/miso.“

“We love coming here! KC was our waitress tonight and she was the best server we have ever had here. She was friendly and knowledgeable, and full of recommendations to have the best dining experience. Highly recommend the spicy beef bulgogi and the KPot steak.“

“We drove from Charleston SC to try this place and let me tell you they did not disappoint! The pork rinds came to the table still popping. The brisket, ribs and pork literally melt in your mouth. The fried pork chops were the best I have had in my lifetime and the sides like candied cornbread, Lima beans, Mac and cheese, dirty rice and okra were absolutely on point! Don’t forget to try the brisket Mac and cheese! 🤯 Amazing southern bbq! We will be back!“

“We stopped at the main restaurant for a meal years ago on our way to or from Florida and fell in love with the Barbecue sauce. Have stopped in when the time is right for a meal. Have the sauce delivered now.“

“Food was great!!! Thank you, Mr. Gene, for being such a kind gentleman. We really enjoyed lunch!!!“

“I drive from Charlotte just to eat here. It’s that good!“

“We love Home Team BBQ! Our server Alexa has outstanding customer service, she made our dining experience so smooth & welcoming. We tried a few different meats and sides and shared them, and they were all delicious! We’re visiting from Germany & Texas and highly recommend this place, the whole team is great!“

“First time being there but will not be able the last!!“

“Large portion hubby and I couldn't even eat half our food. 😊 We will be going back.“

“I had the smoked pigs feet and 1/4 smoked chicken leg and in every bite you can taste the smoky flavor. Had homemade Mac and cheese, white rice ( which had flavor to it) and omg the best fresh and I mean fresh cut collards ( I could eat a big bowl of them collards) . I wish they would bring back the smoked turkey wings, I’ve seen photos of the smoked turkey wings but was told they don’t do them anymore, this place is going to be my go to place at least once a week. Need to open on in the saint Andrews area“

“First time here, I’m originally from north where there’s good Chinese food and have yet to find it in this area, I was recommended this place from a nurse at an urgent care and since I’ve been unsuccessful so far, gave it a chance… love the rice, reminds me of home, hands down best I’ve had in the 2 years I’ve been here, egg rolls good, crab Rangoon yummy too, not a huge fan of the lo mein though and the order wasn’t 100% right as they were missing my white rice but overall would return again specifically for that pork fried rice“

“EXCELLENCE IS SERVICE. QUICK REPONSE. FREINDLY. GOING TO GET SOME OF THOSE DELICIOUS RIBS AND SOME BARBECUE. WHATEVER YOU GET, YOU ARE A WINNER. GIVE OWENS A TRY.“

“It's a very nice atmosphere for grown people with no drama“

“Man, I love this place! My boss would take me whenever I'm headed to Sumter after work and get 2 plates or at least a side of chicken. My plate usually consists of hash, barbecue, rice, ribs, greens, and roll. You have the option of cracklin. The most I spent on 1 plate with sides may be $21.00. They're affordable and enough to eat 2 times; furthermore, share if you like because you will feel guilty not too. Don't miss out on the deliciousness!“

“Great clean restaurant with phenomenal Chinese food! Since the ownership changed the food here has been excellent! Really enjoyed everything I’ve tried from them. Much better than most Chinese restaurants around this area. I’d like to mention that the customer service is great also!“

“The Galbi is delicious. This is a small joint in a strip mall, very utilitarian, but delicious. better than Hero by a long shot.“

“We had a reservation, but arrived an hour early. That wasn't an issue for the staff, we were seated promptly. Our Waiter, Liam was courteous and professional. Everything was great, the only one downside was our entrees were served just after we received our salad, so the timing was a bit off, but not huge. Liam apologized for that, so its all good. Overall, great experience and we will be returning!“

“Decided to try this for myself after I tasted a bit of my coworker’s. I ordered the chicken breast teriyaki bowl. I’m usually a fried rice girl but decided to step out and try some noodles. Wasn’t disappointed! The noodles were quite tasty.“

“Y y’all let lul cuz get jumped like that 😭😭😭“

“Great food for a traveler. Being from Texas, I order the burger as always and it was great! Baked sweet potato and chicken stripe were good too. Only prob was the look I got when I asked from white gravy to dip chicken in. It's a thing in Texas.“

“Have a wide variety of fish. Their catfish, flounder and whiting are delicious. All of their fish is fried and can come with fries or hush puppies or whatever side you want. They prepare everything as you wait and do a good job. Their batter is very flavorful and they put a lot of tlc into their cooking. Great place for fried fish.“

“We had a fantastic waitress and the food was delicious“

“CWP is in my opinion the best bar in all of Columbia! All the staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and hardworking - making sure everyone is having fun and being taken care off. If you are looking for your next hang out spot, I urge you to check out CWP - it’s absolutely a one of a kind!“

“WE ORDERED 4 STEAK DINNERS TO GO AND EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. STEAKS COOKED RIGHT AND EVERY ITEM WAS INCLUDED. THANKS FOR A GREAT MEAL.“

“OBO-K is now called SURA. My sister and I dined at SURA, an authentic Korean restaurant located on Decker Blvd near Percival Rd. in Dentsville. We enjoyed our wonderful meal thoroughly, savoring every bite from the variety of banchans, the crispy chicken wing appetizer, a sautéed vegetables with Korean glass noodles called Japche, and a delicious Dolsot (hot stone)Bibimbap. The service was excellent and the restaurant was clean and accommodating. The owners have only been there for a few weeks under the new name SURA and it’s clear they care about the quality of their restaurant. We will definitely be back!“

“Great prices on combo meals. Love the Big double burger made the cheddar way. Onion rings are good. Service is good and ever6is nice and courteous. Restaurant is clean and bathroom was clean. Plenty to choose from, burgers, chicken sandwiches, quesadilla and hot dog, corn dog's so much more all at reasonable prices and everything is made to order. Food comes out quickly and hot. Plenty of parking in rear of building. Lots of outdoor table's and seats and benches.“

“Great service!!! Food was awesome!!! Manager Dee Lino was really on it!!!!!“
