Friendly service and a massive amount of food for the price. Easy parking and quick service for takeaway. Overall, quite tasty. Mac and cheese is smoked - and in general, the food carries a stronger smoke flavor that I enjoyed. Cole slaw had a nice tang. Baked beans average at best. The main courses - really really tasty hash and rice. House made bbq sauce a nice tomato and vinegar. Ribs are strong contender. Well worth a visit if you are in the area!

While driving through Elgin, we happened upon the hidden gem Ronnie's Ribs -- and we're so glad we…read morestopped! If you're looking for small-town charm paired with incredible flavor, this is absolutely the place. We even had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ronnie himself. Hearing a bit about the experiences that inspired him to open the restaurant made the visit feel even more special. We tried the oxtail plate (an occasional special), and it was incredible -- super tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. The mac and cheese was perfectly cheesy and salty in the best way, and the rice n hash was packed with flavor. Ronnie also let us try some brisket with his vinegar-based BBQ sauce. The brisket was succulent with really unique spices, and the sauce paired with it perfectly. If you're passing through Elgin, it's definitely worth the stop.

Second time here and honestly it was a miss on the service and food was good but not a home run…read more Giving benefit of the doubt with the number of festivals and events happening, the service was a 2.8 at most out of 5 due to limited staff. Our waitress was sweet but you could tell she was screaming for assistant and help. Several tables needed bussing in and outside and the bathroom needed a serious scrub down as someone's daughter and mom had fun with a brown crayon following dinner. Hubby and I were eager to try some more options again but advised a lot of the items were out. Mr. Foodie settled on a classic burger while I got the Greek. Very tasty medium burger with Greek veggies, toasted bun and side of tzatziki sauce. Burger actually good and paired well with fries. Sauce could be blended more with the yogurt but great addition. Hubby said burger was good just needed more sauce. Not giving up on it as an option but definitely not a first choice.

Although my mother and I tried the Irmo location for Smoke It Up BBQ...can I just say WOW. After a…read morelong day, my mother and I decided to give them a try after a day of shopping. Well deserving of 5 stars all day and let us start with the experience. Reading from their website and Google, they're only open at the Irmo location on Saturday's 11-4PM which I wish were open more days for those days I'm craving BBQ during the week after a long day at work. But that's okay, Saturdays are perfect for BBQ too!! Walking in, you're greeted by a women who just was as welcoming as ever. She was super sweet and answered any questions we had, and there was a continuous smile on her face taking my mother and I's order. The guy who delivered our food called our number and recapped what we ordered and ensured sauce and forks were in the bag. Service was very fast and we waited no longer than 10 minutes for our food. Arriving at home, I immediately looked at the plate and BOY did it look good !! Having it in the car on the ride home, OMG did it smell sooo good! Smelt fresh, smoky, and just mouth watering to want to dig in immediately. I decided to get the 1/2 Rib Plate that came with 2 sides. I got baked beans and mac and cheese for my sides. I also got some of their peach cobbler but we'll talk about that last. But can we please talk about the portion sizes for the price ! $15 a plate and we got two totaling out to about $34 including the peach cobbler. I started with the baked beans. They seemed to have a hint of their BBQ sauce maybe in it but it was very delicious and warm. I was pleased with my decision in trying those. Next, I moved over to the mac and cheese. Warm, soft noodles, melt in your mouth, type of side. I think it needs a bit more cheese to make it more creamier but with the hefty portion too, I would get it again. Now, the star of the show...the ribs. Ribs were tender, fall off the bone, finger licking good !! Although in my opinion they taste better with sauce, my mother (who is a sauce-less type of girl) thought they tasted perfect without it. I tried it with the mustard base and the tomato base sauce and each with a rib tasted sooooo good!! My favorite was the mustard base for sure. You get a good amount of ribs for the price and they're big and lengthy. I promise you won't be disappointed. Towards the end of this review, it's time to assess the peach cobbler. For $4, you get a good amount. Looks like there's a cinnamon coated crust ontop. Opening it up, it smelled delicious. I expected it to come warm but it was cold but no worries, i popped a section in the microwave and BABYYYY !!! That by far is the best peach cobbler I've ever had. The serving I had has the right amount of peaches and the right amount of crust and everything else. You definitely won't be disappointed. I was highly pleased with deciding to give Smoke It Up today for the first time. I would come back and try those turkey wings next time or something else on the menu. For the price, the customer service, and the ambiance it was all well worth it. With this restaurant being so close to home, I have found my new go to BBQ spot!!! I wanted to take a picture when I first opened it, but as you can see, between the smell and the looks, I had to dive in !!

Wow! I could have sworn I shared a review for Whataburger not too long ago, but I guess not. So let…read moreme start off by saying I am from the upstate part of South Carolina, where places like Clocks, Pete's, and Sugar-n-Spice are in abundance and their bacon cheeseburger plates are spectacular. If you are looking for a similar-style burger place in the Columbia area, then Whataburger is it. I enjoy the call-ahead drive-through, and there is plenty of parking. The interior is set up as a counter-service diner. The ordering process, whether in person or over the phone, is easy. Their bacon cheeseburgers do not come close to those in the upstate, but they are good. It is satisfactory in size, and the flavor is tasty. They are definitely a great burger option in the area. I wish the bacon was cooked a bit more. Otherwise, their bacon cheeseburger is pretty solid. Their fries are crinkle-cut and lightly salted. The fries I receive are always fresh. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I got coleslaw or not. The customer service is nice and undeniably appreciated.

Once we got there, it was a little crowded, so I went ahead and let him order the food instead while I sat and waited. I have to say the experience was awful! The lady who took his order was in a bad mood and everyone noticed it. When my husband asked a question pertaining to one of the meals, she rolled her eyes as she answered with an attitude. When he began ordering, she kept saying I can't hear you! He was speaking loudly where everyone in line heard him. She basically walked off in the middle of him ordering while rolling her eyes. The crazy thing was she stated she couldn't hear him but wrote down his order and yelled it to the back. This was a terrible level of customer service! Nothing friendly or polite as the last visit.  The food was ok, but based on the customer service he exhibited, I doubt we will order from them again. We ordered a shrimp basket, a 2 pc flounder fillet basket and macaroni. My husband works in the culinary field and he stated what he exhibited today was down right rude and unprofessional.

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.
