Wanted local BBQ while in town and was not disappointed. Staff were very welcoming and food was amazing.
Pulled pork sandwich with original sauce is the best BBQ in town.
BBQ BUFFET NIRVANA. Simply among the best BBQ buffets in town. The fried chicken is really good.
I really don’t understand all the good reviews – it was not good. At all. The fried chicken was somehow both dry and greasy (?), the sides were mediocre, and the BBQ was just ok. The buffet was overpriced even if it had been good – but definitely not worth half what I paid. There is much better BBQ in town.
Definitely my favorite BBQ buffet in Columbia, also the fried chicken and Mac and cheese was amazing !
Great bbq buffet!. This is the best bbq buffet in Columbia! the meat is great and the sauce is really good. i love the hush puppies here too. i wish is was open more often…but then i would probably be a hundred pounds heavier.
Mediocre. I like barbecue, and am quite familiar with good — and bad — barbecue. Palmetto Pig isn’t bad — I’d eat there again — but it is not a true example of great barbecue. A friend of mine (also a barbecue aficionado) and I ate recently at the Lake Murray location. Our thoughts:1. Meat by itself — the true test — is good quality, but has no smoky taste. It’s as if it were cooked slowly in an oven, not smoked. It also has a decided sour taste, likely due to the seasonings or brine used.2. Hash is bizarre. Not like traditional hash. More like pork spaghetti sauce. 3. Sauces: Mustard-based is OK, though not the best I have had. Vinegar/hot is basically vinegar and Texas Pete; definitely not a good example of traditional vinegar and pepper sauce. I did not care at all for the tomato-based sauce.4. Other items on the buffet were decent; mac and cheese so-so, but fried chicken was among the best I have ever had. But that’s not really why we go to barbecue joints!For better pork, better sauces, try Hudson’s Smokehouse in Lexington, or Farm Boys in Chapin. Both are better examples of really good barbecue: smoky meat, traditional sauces. And far better hash.
