We had a really good lunch at Midwood Smokehouse in Columbia. It's located at the end of a small…read moreshopping center that also has Whole Foods, and the area itself is nice. The restaurant is medium-sized with a small patio of about six tables. It was a beautiful day, so we chose to sit outside since the dining room was a bit loud. It took a couple of minutes for a host to seat us, but we did arrive during peak lunchtime on a Monday, so it wasn't a big deal. Once seated, our server, Seavy, was fantastic. He was very attentive, friendly, and had a great personality. I ordered the brisket plate, my husband had the half chicken, and the third person in our party ordered the brisket sandwich. My brisket was fantastic--very moist and a generous portion. The hush puppies were tiny but crispy and delicious, and the bacon-wrapped jalapeños were outstanding. My husband really enjoyed his chicken, which was also moist, along with the collards and coleslaw. The brisket sandwich was huge and came with coleslaw and a side of mac & cheese, and everything was very good. What stood out most was the portion size and the quality of the food for the price. Overall, we had a great meal and would definitely come back.

Great Barbecue place in downtown Columbia, SC. It has an authentic rustic feel inside. We ordered…read morethe wings as an appetizer and we all agreed that they were outstanding. They use a dry rub on the wings that made them very unique. Many people rave about the brisket and it's very good but I think the pulled pork is even better! The pork absorbed the fabulous smoke flavor better. They have a variety of sauces on all of the tables including the Mustard based sauce which is a South Carolina thing. I tried several and I was very impressed! Cheers!

The gumbo was hearty full of meats and shrimp and a nice kick of spice/heat to it that was just right! The greens and green beans were both seasoned well. Mac and cheese was on point too. We also tried the red velvet cake which was super sweet but every bite was delicious and worth it. We called in our order and it was ready when we arrived, everyone working inside was very polite being it was our first time we had a few questions about the menu and they were happy to help. It's a carry out place only no seating area. I will definitely be going back and hopefully I'll remember to get the pics of my food.

A bold claim, and yet they are one of a handful of restaurants in the South that could realistically make that claim. The brisket sandwiches are unbelievable, with your choice of the leaner, mixed, or fattier cuts. All are amazing and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Many delicious sauces to choose from as well. All of the sides are incredibly tasty, just how you'd like to see them prepared at the best backyard barbecue you've ever been to. My friends and I dined in, and there are only a couple tables in the small restaurant because they mainly do takeout/doordash orders, but we couldn't regret that less. Big Bull and Mama Bull each came out to check on us and chat with us at different times, and a server helped us as well. We had wonderful conversation. Because it is family-run and all made fresh by order, the wait can be a little longer than some places, but the food and care make the wait far more than worth it.

First time Friday lunch 3/20/26…read more My youngest son suggested lunch here. Arrived around 11:30am and glad we did. When we left the line to pay was out the door. Paid right away, I think it's around $15 which includes all you can eat, dessert and drink. Cashier automatically gave me a senior discount. Excellent pulled pork BBQ, in 3 or 4 different styles/ flavors. My favorite was the smoked whole hog where you pull off what you want. Everything was fresh and delicious. Top of the line all you can eat BBQ for South Carolina and I can't think of any BBQ that beats the price. Plenty of seating and it was not too loud. We were able to carry on great conversation. Highly recommend. Sign out front said they have been serving BBQ for over 60 years.

They had a lot of meats from a couple different kind of pulled pork, to fried chicken, fried cat fish, ribs and brisket. The bbq didn't really blow me away. The sides i love their potato salad was wonderful and probably the best thing is they're hush puppies. Crispy and kind of sweet. If you like hush puppies you'll love it. Overall not a bad spot. I would eat here once a month or more if i live close. The food is not gonna blow you away but non the less it's a great deal for what you get. Also it was about 1pm on Saturday and they were pretty packed!

BBQ Buffet!? Doc's…read moreBBQ is a must stop for anyone that's into BBQ with a big appetite. The setup here is buffet style all you can eat BBQ and side. YES! All you can eat. What an amazing concept. I can say that the food quality is pretty awesome especially considering the buffet style restaurant. I've been twice now and both times the food was awesome and they don't pull back on anything here. The only issue is they do have some weird hours but for what you get and how they do things it's totally worth a trip during lunch. I highly recommend hitting this spot if you're a fan of BBQ and have ever felt like you didn't here get enough of your favorite BBQ dishes.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 9 Overall: 7 I first came to Doc's back in summer of 2023 because I wanted to pig out on southern comfort food. Well, at $14.50 back then for the buffet, I thought I was in heaven. A huge array of choices that will induce the heart attack I was looking for. Price has obviously gone up a tick, but it's still a great deal imho. Since the restaurant was super busy, everything felt extremely fresh. As for mains, I guess I enjoyed the fried chicken a lot since I keep refilling ny plate with it. I also tried a little bit of everything else, including the bbq pulled pork, fried catfish nuggets, and meatloaf (Tuesday special). They were all good. As for sides, there were plenty to choose from. All the southern staples are here, like mac & cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, potato salad, hush puppies, etc. Don't forget to get some desserts too. I like their peach cobbler. A place like this can only survive in the south. I wish we had something remotely resembling Doc's back in NYC, but it'll never work. I'll just have to visit the south more often for gems like these.
