Upon ordering the cashier told us that the food would be ready in about 15-20 min which is understandable. We waited on the bar chairs in front of the grill and while waiting we noticed that there were a few flies flying around the grill which was a little disconcerting but didn't complain as it can happen sometimes. Once the food was ready we ate in their outside tables as the inside was retty small and got crowded fast The food iyslwf was decent but could have used a little flavor. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and was a little disappointed when i only saw half a pice of bacon (see picture). I was expecting more but its fine since the price was really reasonable. The staff overall was also nice and very hospitable.

The lady who helped us was the sweetest! She helped us look through the menu and take our order and when our food was ready, she brought it out to us while we waited in the car because it was cold ! And she told my bf that she didn't know where we went (because we were still dressed in our wedding guest attire lol) but she said we looked so good together. lol she was so sweet. I got the dark meet bbq chicken and it tasted very lemon peppery which wasn't bad. The chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. I also got green beans, sweet potato soufflé and fried corn. Everything was cooked well, the sweet potatoes had like brown sugar cinnamon something on it and made it really sweet but it was toasty at top so gave it a nice crunch. The corn was so good but I do hate cob cuz it gets stuck in my teeth. If I'm ever around, I'd def go again.

After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

I'm going to make a bold statement right now..this is the absolute best BBQ I've ever had. We've…read morepassed Michael D'z BBQ every time on our way to and from Bucees in Florence, SC and every time we say 'next time we're stopping there'. Well today, 4 years later of saying that, we stopped. It's a small 'food truck' (but it doesn't move from this spot), and I believe the smoker in the front is where eveything is made. The smell is unmistakeable and you can take it to go or eat inside a covered area that has booths and even a pool table. They sell farm fresh eggs and other various produce, flavored honeys and bottle of bbq sauce. What we ordered.. 1/2 rack ribs - don't even know where to start with how tender, fall of the bone the ribs were, with a perfectly spicy bbq sauce 1/2 lb sliced brisket - this is their best seller and my lord, I entirely understand why 1/2 chicken - hubs loves chicken and this was like a mutant because it was gigantic and not overly smokey, but just right dipped in the rib sauce A small container of potato salad - had I known how truly delicious this was going to be, I'd definitely have gone bigger. Next time!! It was a tad sweet but balanced perfectly with relish. I have no problem traveling for quality.. this spot is about 1.5 hours away from Myrtle beach where we stay, and worth every minute of the drive. Best of all, I got to meet Mike!! He's a southern gentleman, a blast to chat with and I cant wait to go back. If you're traveling south on 95 through SC, it's a couple miles off the Bucees exit, I suggest you take the detour and give it a try!!!!

He was SO hospitable, sweet and genuinely welcoming. He gave great recommendations and did not steer us wrong. These days, it's not always easy to come across service like that, which made it even more appreciated. I ordered the Sunset Blush drink and it was delicious. We also got the cornbread and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the BEST cornbread I've ever had. So soft and flavorful. The brisket sandwich was a little dry (could be because we went during closing) but still had really good flavor. The mac and cheese though... WOW. I am very picky with mac and cheese and most places miss the mark, but this tasted homemade. Easily a 10/10. My husband got the peach bourbon burger and said it was great. The kids ate everything in sight which is always a win...lastly the cinnamon roll cheesecake for dessert... phenomenal!!! Overall such a great experience and I'm really glad we stopped in!

I rarely leave reviews like this, but after our experience at Wholly Smokin' BBQ & Ribs, it feels…read morewarranted. After driving 15 hours on March 21, 2026, my husband and I were genuinely excited to try this place and planned to take our food back to the hotel. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly and never really recovered. First, parking is extremely limited out front, which is frustrating when you're tired and just want a quick pickup. Inside, things only got worse. The front-of-house staff was shockingly unprofessional. The employee helping us clearly didn't understand her job and had to be corrected multiple times by another staff member--something no customer should have to witness. It created confusion, delays, and zero confidence in our order. We paid about $50 for a sampler, which is not cheap, and yet the same employee argued about giving us the sides because she entered the order incorrectly. If another, more competent employee hadn't stepped in, I'm convinced it would have escalated further. Even then, we never received one of the four sides we paid for. To make matters worse, we were never asked if we wanted drinks to go, and we weren't given plates, silverware, or even BBQ sauce--basic essentials for a takeout order. That's just unacceptable. While waiting, we also watched this same employee tell three separate dine-in families to go sit and wait while she stood there rolling silverware. Completely rude and dismissive. If I had been one of those customers, I would have walked out. This is the first impression customers get, and it's a terrible reflection of how the place is run. Between the disorganization, poor communication, and outright unfriendly behavior, the service was a mess. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the food itself was actually very good. The burnt ends and ribs were the standout--absolutely delicious. But great BBQ can't fully make up for such a frustrating and poorly managed customer experience.

I can't write home about their fried flounder (greasy and noxious fishy smell) and their sides? I believe the cooks have a heightened fear of SALT & PEPPER. All of their sides taste like a scoop of canned disappointment that shouldn't have happened. Their pork bbq tastes like somebody forgot to top up the sugar while garnering their offerings vinegar "based." Their hushpuppies are friend BLASPHEMY!! A invisibly seasoned ball of flour & water deep fried as a private joke. The folks buying it probably believe its top tier and quality when a true hushpuppy consists of sugar corn meal flour celery onions & LOTS of love!!!! The Indian folks that run & operate the place sure like money, but their focus should be on solid, and undeniably outstanding food.
