Every trip back to Lake Greenwood is a trip to Fat Daddy's! - and the meal never disappoints. The service is wonderful and always friendly. We love this diner with its southern down home hospitality. Simply the BEST! PS, Love the banana delight dessert. read more

We had driven past this place a few times when it wasn't open. I love discovering new BBQ and the best places are usually only open 2-3 days a week. This one is open Fri-Sun, even though Yelp says it is closed on Sundays. I can't remember about Thursday, will update when we go back and we will go back. I will stop literally every time I drive by it if it is open. It is out in the middle of nowhere. That is usually a good sign. Driving from Greenville home this afternoon, I was looking for it, then zipped past and had to turn around. Pretty sure the pick-up truck behind me wasn't happy with my slow down and turn around. The biggest and only thing you need to know is that this is what we call here 100 mile BBQ. That is BBQ worth driving 100 miles to get and is a high compliment. There are not many 100 mile BBQ places and this one qualifies in a big way. We got stuff to take home and eat, in this case a pound/quart of pulled pork, a pint of collard greens, a pint of Mac and cheese, and a couple cornbread muffins they didn't charge us for, which was a nice gesture on their part, they included a couple containers of their homemade BBQ sauce, the relatively thin vinegar/ketchup style Carolina sauce. They also had mustard based sauce, an Alabama white sauce (mayo, vinegar and some heat), and maybe another choice. I always go for thin Carolina vinegar/ketchup sauces and I make my own (I also make a killer mustard based sauce). Their sauces were all good, so it depends on what your taste is. They use no sauce when smoking their pork and what we got needed no sauce. That is how it should be. I often add some sauce, but this pulled pork doesn't need any. It is fairly coarsely pulled and very moist and you can sure taste the smoke. The Mac and cheese and collards are right up there at the top of my list of sides I have ever had. Collards had some ham and were just unreal good. Mac and cheese was perfect. They had many other sides and all looked good. When we first came in, an older woman was getting a plate. The woman at the counter was super friendly and gave us a rundown of what they had. The older woman told us that everything was good. I think she was right. They add two meats on Sunday's. Things like chicken and dumplings (I LOVE chicken and dumplings), fried chicken, and a couple other things that rotate. I am willing to bet they get a great after church crowd. Next time we go, I know I want to try their hash. After getting home and tasting everything, I wish I had got some hash because I know it will be good. I can stick that in the fridge and make my own rice or cornbread. I took the dog for a quick walk in the back where we passed the smoke shed. Two gentlemen were sitting and chatting and they were minding the pit. It was all wood, I saw zero signs of any gas/propane assistance being used. Use of gas is very common and never results in BBQ that is as good as all wood done properly. These guys know how to make BBQ correctly. We are traveling up and back from Greenville for the next couple weeks for medical reasons. You can be assured that if this place is open, we will stop and stock up. I would totally consider driving up there on a weekend if we are in the mood for a drive in the country and we live 60 miles away. It is that good. I cannot believe there are any lower than 5-star reviews here. read more

Wonderful local BBQ restaurant. Great BBQ and super fast. Home style cooking was fantastic. Local favorite.

Quality food. Exceptional service. Timely delivery. We utilized Fat Daddy's for our son's wedding and they were absolutely superb to work with. If you are looking for a caterer, they are hands down who you should choose. Absolutely no stress from the standpoint of food, truly professional! read more

What a great little find in a little SC town. We were vacation home hunting and started getting hungry, so in our quest to find a neat little place with small town charm, we ran across Fat Daddy's BBQ. What a great surprise! The staff is so friendly, and had us sampling the pulled pork and mac n cheese...both of which were great! We settled on a pulled pork plate and a rib plate, that both came with two sides, bread, pickles, dessert and drink. Everything we ate was awesome and definitely Southern inspired and southern cooked! The corn on the cob was tender, sweet and juicy. The sweet potato casserole was as good as mine (and I am a SP snob, so that is a lot for me to admit). The pickles were bread and butter and tasted homemade. We both ordered the peach cobbler and it did not disappoint! If traveling through this little lake town area, make sure you stop and give them a try! read more

Brisket was okay, it was dry and cool like it was sitting out for awhile. The pulled pork was decent. The Mac n cheese and banana delight was amazing. read more

Best BBQ I have ever had, and I don't even like BBQ. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very family oriented. The food is also amazing and you get so much for the price (including dessert.....the peach cobbler rocks!!!). I make sure I come eat here every time I go visit my boyfriend at Presbyterian College for the weekend. This is a hidden gem worth sharing! read more

You won't find better BBQ anywhere. The food is amazing and the service is even better. They even made special arrangements for a family member with allergies. read more

Beautiful people, off the chart mom and pops bbq place! It's a don't miss anytime you are near Lake Greenewood!

Great BBQ Best chicken and the hash fantastic! Very intimate setting. Clean surroundings! Must do

This area sorely needs a good BBQ restaurant, and this weekend we found one! We drove 20 minutes over to Cross Hill from Greenwood and found a gem! Since it was our first time there, we each got different meats and sides. My husband had the pulled pork and I had the ribs. We each ate every bite! They don't sauce everything up for you. I didn't think the ribs needed any sauce, and my husband likes to choose his own sauce. There are a few kinds to try out. For sides, we chose green beans, cole slaw, baked beans and mac & cheese. The slaw wasn't the best we've ever had, but it was pretty good. The mac & cheese was kind of mushy - wouldn't get it again. But, the green beans and baked beans were both really good! They have these kicked up bread & butter pickles that are the bomb! I wasn't fond of the peach cobbler because it needed a crispy crust, but I ate it. We both ate dinner for about $25, a good price for this meal. The people were friendly and the place is clean. Next time I'll try the chicken - it looked great - and get the potato salad, just to work my way through the menu :) I don't mind the meat being served on a piece of wax paper, but I do mind the use of Styrofoam cups. I wish they used just regular paper cups for sides and drinks. Styrofoam just fills up landfills, never biodegrading. read more

Really good, local BBQ joint. Get your fill by choosing from Pork, Smoked Chicken, Ribs, or Smoked Sausage via the cafeteria style buffet line. Great quality and great portions too. Sides of beans, cole slaw, potato salad, or hash round out the choices. Meals come with dessert and beverage. read more

Food was edible, but it was served on a piece of wax paper. No plates. It may have been because they had just opened, but I have no desire to return. read more

Best BBQ I've had. I normally don't like BBQ anything, but their ribs are amazing; not to mention the macaroni and cheese, green beans, potato salad, and sweet tea! read more

We found this place my accident. We was in the area checking out the Lake Greenwood Motor coach Resort. This place is AWESOME!!! I am a very picky BBQ girl. My husband is not a fan of BBQ (pulled pork and the ribs) but this he liked!!! He ordered the smoked sausage and loved it as well. The sides are great and dessert all great as well. I think BBQ should speak for its self and not have a sauce all over it to cover the taste of the port. BBQ should be able to eaten alone so that you can taste the smoke and the rub and here you get that!!!! Its must place to visit!!!! Owners are really nice country people -- Family owned and operated!!!! read more
