34 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Columbia

“Had the best meal here today! Get the strawb12therry shortcake-it was amazing. We tried the ribs,pulled pork,brisket, greens, Mac n cheese, and cornbread. I personally liked the dark, thick red sauce (Ga Folks it's good!) but they give you three sauces to go with the bbq. Warning- the greens are kinda on the sweet side- they're different. They're not nasty but not your regular greens. Awesome jewel in Columbia!“

“This was my first time here and our server was fantastic. They explained everything answered all of our questions and was polite and friendly. There were many options on the menu to handle gluten free & dye free needs and many vegetarian options as well as a nice variety for pescatarians. You sure don't leave hungry!“

“Highly recommended, Kalen C was awesome“

“Today was my first time trying this place, and I walked in to pleasantry!! Ms. Bull's kindness and patience alone had me! I ordered a side of mac n cheese and the brisket with the ketchup based sauce! It was delicious!! And not only did Ms Bull bring to my car what I ordered, she held a small convo with me (much respected and like-minded) as I tasted the food! She also gave me some complimentary cake that was warm and moist! I'm not one to lie, I was most definitely satisfied!! I will be back again!! The wait time is worth it if you are looking for soul touching food !!“

“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“

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

“Incredible restaurant. The owner/chef is incredibly funny and clearly loves the business he is in, and it is definitely reflected in the quality of the food and atmosphere of the restaurant. The service was immaculate and very prompt. Everyone we interacted with was amazing.

I would recommend this place for anyone interested in more traditional Korean fare than one might be used to, and of course anyone that already knows they love Korean food.“

“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“

“Service was great, salad was awesome as was the baked potato. I ordered the NY strip and it was run of the mill, tasted like steak mostly but not great. It could have been a luck of the draw thing so there's that it wasn't worth fussing about. Wouldn't keep me from going back“

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

“Cook Out is a go-to for quick, cheap eats that still hit the spot 🍔🥤 The service is usually fast, and it’s hard to beat the value for how much food you get.

Just be prepared for the lines - they can get pretty long later in the day or on weekends, especially during peak hours 🚗

If you catch it at the right time, it’s an easy win for a fast and affordable meal 👍“

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

“My food has always been good, but what I can't stand is the experience picking up a to-go order because they routinely allow people to just park in the only 3 To-Go spots which makes it difficult. Unoccupied cars should be towed when there for extended periods, clearly not there for a pick up.“
