6 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Aiken

“Ooh-wee I had the pleasure to visit Aiken's best Bar-B- Que buffet on Saturday June 20, 2026. I really enjoyed myself at Dukes Bar-B-Que Aiken from the very comfort, spacious seating, the exceptional customer service from the staff, and the southern barbecue atmosphere there at Dukes. Dukes has plenty of hot and scrumptious buffet food selections to chose from at a terrific price, and I will definitely be back to dine. The juicy, mouthwatering fried pork chops was ooh-wee and for dessert the self, soft -serve ice cream really hit the spot to concluded this lunch. I will recommend Dukes Bar-B-Que to satisfy your taste buds and stomach.“

“I’m going to post a review that I hope matters to people who look like me. While the alley itself seemed to be having a live music event that would not cater to people who look like me, the service at Southbound was second to none! Everyone was soooo friendly, they accommodated where we specifically wanted to be seated, at least 4 people worked in tandem to ensure all needs were met as they were pretty busy and the food was absolutely phenomenal! Thank you for being a good host, thank you for making your atmosphere welcoming to all. My AA family of 6 never felt out of place at your establishment, we’ll be back!“

“Great selection of food items! Got wings and fries really good! Prices very reasonable because you get plenty to eat!“

“We ate lunch here on 7/2/25. I have always been very pleased but yesterday we had very little to NO service. The hostess took our drink order and brought out right away. The waitress came without much delay. Our food came in a reasonable time. Then the waitress never came back. She walked by one time and my drink was very low. She looked and kept going. Never saw her again. Had to get the attention of someone else and hostess again brought my refill of drink. Another person brought check after we asked for it and took payment. I feel at the price you charge for a drink, I deserve at least one refill. Not happy at all.“

“My favorite hash and rice. Their meat is lean and delicious. I like their mild mustard sauce. I ate there today and everything was delicious!“

“Small Olde fashioned buffet that is quiet mid week and no lines no waiting. The food is bbq pork (you add your bbq sauce) and fried and roasted chicken today along w hash n rice then fried okra the best sweet boiled corn on the cob along w field peas w snaps Italian flat green beans Mac n cheese collard greens potato salad an choice of pickles Cole slaw fresh bread n butter and a few other items plus soft serve ice cream southern banana pudding and peach cobbler. Pay as you come in. $14-16 for lunch and the best service assisting w carrying drinks a plates and getting refills. They also give a senior discount. And they allow guns ( just keep em put away unless a real need arises). I’d recommend for an olde southern quiet meal even if in a lunch rush. You won’t leave hungry that’s for sure.“
