    Chocolate pecan pie worth moving to S. Carolina for so amazing!!
    Giena G.

    This Southern BBQ, was so delicious. The chocolate pecan pie was to die for, I'm not even a fan of pecan pie, but OMG Good. Everything tasted homemade and fresh and they were telling us what things were very honest very friendly people. This is one of my every time I visit South Carolina. I will eat their places. The ambience was very sports oriented, as I expected since it's called game day barbecue.

    Great BBQ. Simple dining with great food. Was in town for business and came across this place to go for lunch. I had the pork belly burnt ends with coleslaw and collard greens. The greens were some of the best Ive ever had. The burnt ends were the right balance of soft and crispy. Mustard BBQ on the side was phenomenal. Would def go again.

    The pork plate with BBQ beans, Cole slaw and BP.

    The BBQ smoke smell when you walk in sets the table....large portions, great food and don't get me started on the Oreo Banana Pudding....fantastic. This place has certainly improved since my last visit several years ago. Only thing missing is draft beer.

    I ordered the Grand Slam Platter and instantly knew I made the right choice. The brisket was great, no sauce needed. The sausage was delicious, pulled pork was juicy and full of flavor. I got the back beans, sweet potato crunch and the pork cracklings on the side. The place was very clean and the service was amazing.

    Beef brisket and sweet potato crunch with coleslaw. Soooo goood!

    Had the brisket, flavor was great, the sweet potato crunch was amazing! The "hot" BBQ sauce was just right. Even the pickled onions and pickles on the side were delicious.

    Good bbq restaurant with some great options and a few not so great. The good: the pulled pork was moist and flavorful, the bbq sauces were good, they had some creative but delicious plates like the Cuba, and the Augusta bride. The baked beans were on par with some of the best I've ever had. The Bad: the potato salad was fairly plain the brisket was partially burnt. The ugly: the Mac n cheese. Seriously, it reminded me of "gasp" the crappy macaroni that I swore off of when I moved from the northeast and discovered real (southern) Mac n cheese. Come on bbq restaurant in the south. You can do better than that! The service was great and after some initial issues with the website, the staff worked to make things better. The atmosphere was definitely sports and there were a couple of TVs to enjoy sports on while you eat. Overall, four stars, cause while there were definitely some great options I just can't justify a 5 star review of a bbq restaurant that had macaroni on par with ponderosa.

    Trying something new!

    We arrived around 4:30pm on a Thursday. There were no other customers at this time. The entire establishment looked very well kept. The menu is written in large letters behind the cashier. I decided to try the basic chopped bbq plate with sides because I feel like it's a good basic to start with at any BBQ joint. Chopped BBQ- The flavor of the meat on it's own was very good. The meat was lean. Often times bbq can have a bit much fat that ends up on the corner of your plate. That was not the case here. The rub was not as salty as some other BBQs but the smoke certainly came through. I definitely wanted to put some sauce on it though. I really like sauce and it needed a bit to moisten it. Hot Sauce- It tasted a bit like ketchup with hot sauce in it. Mustard sauce- It was vinegary and at a small amount of heat. It was not very sweet. I preferred this to the Hot Sauce. The owner told us that they smoke the 60 lbs of brisket for 16 hours to be served only on Friday and Saturday. Sweet potato crunch- This side was very sweet. It had walnuts which added texture. Likely had some vanilla which almost gave it a creamy quality to me. It was quite smooth. Smoked chicken- The owner kindly gave us an extra amount of smoked chicken after talking to us for a couple moments. The chicken was extremely tender and moist. You could definitely taste the smoke. The skin had a sweet and savory smokey rub on it. I would recommend giving this place a try!

    Ever since the new owners have taken over the quality of the food and creativity of the menu has gone way home. I've eaten bbq all over the country and definitely all over the upstate. This is a hidden gem in Duncan. The bbq beans are honestly the best I've ever had in a restaurant. BBQ places often overlook their sides but not Game Day. I also love the creative sandwich menu. The redneck cubano was excellent, so was the smoked chicken salad sandwich. We will be back often.

    So sometimes by chance you can find a hidden gem. If you don't like to read much, this place is awesome, just go and enjoy! Full story: I was driving north on a long trip and stopped for gas. It was next to a Mexican restaurant but I usually like to eat the local style food so I searched for places around and there were a few options, but a few miles away i saw this place, Game Day BBQ, and the chalkboard style menu in one of the photos reminded me a great place I go to close to home (Fink's in Dumont, NJ) so I decided to drive a few more minutes and check it out. I'm so happy I did. The staff was so nice, the place was unassuming yet very inviting, and the food was just excellent. If nothing else, go for the brisket. Flavorful with a bit of a kick, melts in your mouth and a generous portion. Both sides that I had (collard greens and baked beans) were so good, beans had pork chunks in them (my guess pork belly) and greens had melt-in-your-mouth beef pieces, both seasoned to a "can't stop eating" level. Ribs were excellent and I had to stop myself from finishing it all, so I can take some with me for an evening snack. I found out they opened only seven weeks ago and I was surprised as they have their act together, and it is so good... Go there or place a takeout order - not only you'll enjoy it so damn much, you'll also help a local young business which deserves it. I'd give it six stars if I could. Such a great find!

    Burnt ends, brisket, bbq baked beans, and collard greens

    I stopped by for lunch today, after reading all of the fantastic reviews. I can attest to the fact that it is some of the best barbecue I've ever eaten. Tried the brisket and burnt ends, and all I can say is wow! Even the barbecue baked beans and collard greens were on a different level. I have found my new favorite barbecue restaurant

    Chopped pork entree. Sweet tea and some puppies.

    See all

    BBQ pulled pork is good. They have heart attack Fries seasonally which can be a meal itself.

    The wonderful owner of GameDay BBQ was killed in an automobile accident last month. I think they have just changed their hours since. Please keep his family in your prayers
