BBQ near Columbia
Hey, kind of a random question but can anyone suggest a good bbq place near Columbia, SC? In college a lot of my friends were from the south and just raved about how good the bbq was compared to the "junk we call bbq in NY". Since I'll be passing thru the area on business I thought i'd try and check out it out. Thanks for any info

Maurice's BBQ is excellent! There are a few locations as well so it is easy to get to regardless of what side of town you are on. Maurice's has always been a favorite of mine.

IMO Columbia doesn't have the best BBQ. But it does have 'good' BBQ - like Micah said, Maurice's is good. It's all covered with his honey mustard-style sauce, which is pretty good. I prefer the vinegar-based style, though, and they don't serve it. Being from NY, I think you'll either be amused or disturbed by Maurice's fundamentalist Christian / revisionist Civil War propaganda stands that he puts in his stores. He's sort of like a political relic from 1960's South Carolina.
I've always heard the best BBQ in Columbia is 'Little Pigs' on Alpine Road. Never eaten there, though.
In South Carolina (and maybe Georgia?) we have something called hash and rice. It's like a meat spread (similar to what people make hotdogs with) over rice, and is a side at basically every BBQ restaurant. I live in NC now, and when I ask for hash & rice, they look at me like I have three eyes. So make sure you try that, it's good.

I'd have to say that Maurice's, unfortunately, is a little more the atmosphere of South Carolina in the 1860's!  But, nonetheless, it is good BBQ. |

Hudsons BBQ in Lexington, by far.
They have options in sauce, instead of just the mustard. the pork comes dry and they have three sauces to chose from.
Hands down, best BBQ in SC

hudson's is right off 378. Try it...I think you will agree. They have been expanding the facility and it is quite nice.
