9 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Sumter

“This place is very nice. Food is really good not much on variety for sides but it was good. The people were friendly and helped us with our order add on and subtractions and the best way to order it for better price. Just not quite as good as I remember it. I was very disappointed that they took out their buffet.“

“Fantastic experience at Side Bar! We ordered the Big Daddy platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were hands-down the best we've ever had—so good we couldn't even put them down to start on the brisket! The meat portions are massive; the coleslaw and sides were fine, but honestly, with that much incredible meat, you barely touch them anyway.
​The industrial metalwork and atmosphere are really cool—I need those chandeliers for my home bar! Huge shoutout to our server, Felicity. She was amazing, knowledgeable, and kept a hilarious back-and-forth banter going all evening. Exceptional food and service!“

“this place honestly is amazing everytime me and hubby go into town we come here and get us a plate the employees are super kind the price is definitely worth it their hash is to die for seriously 😂 this is definitely a place we'll go to often!“

“Support local! Went here for ribs as I was craving ribs, and the reviews drew me to the place. I ordered the rib plate, but since I only wanted ribs, the first option, Rib Sandwich, made sense as suggested by the owner. I paid $18 because I ordered 2 orders of the rib sandwich. One to satisfy my craving and one for later midnight snack ?. The meat was cooked right (first time trying southern bbq, so maybe my opinion doesn't hold merit yet...haha).•Will I go again? Yes, I would. •Did I eat in? No, carry out. This place is more like a one-man show, so I wouldn't eat in unless the gentleman who served us is okay with it. I do not know if there will be a table service if you decide to eat in.•Payment options? CASH ONLY. He does have drinks, Pepsi products.Rate of 4/5.“

“Just so you're not surprised, this is the kind of place where you pick up your meat and take it home to keep warm/heat up and pair it with your own fixins' for a meal. If you get the ribs they are going to come rinds on, meat falling off the bone, lots of sauce. The sauce is the right amount of spicy for those who like spicy.“

“Great BBQ and hash and friendly atmosphere!!! Great service and fast with the delivery.“

“Our server was excellent... our food was hot. Steak was a lil bland, but tender. Salmon was a lil over cooked, but decent. 1st table we were taken to, was dirty. We were left waiting while the hostess went to find someone to clean it. We sat at a different table. There was trash on the floor...“
