We ordered a to go plate and ended up throwing the plate away after trying a bite of each thing. The bbq was edible. The hash and rice was the worst we have ever tasted. Fried okra was from a frozen food service and I'm pretty sure the potato salad was from a food service as well. read more

Price's BBQ - BBQ, hash and rice, potato salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Gilbert, South Carolina

I discovered this gem on a recent visit to South Carolina and I think I'm in love. I had never heard of Price's BBQ and if it weren't for my brother recommending it, I may never have come across it. Be aware, you don't just happen past Price's (in Gilbert, SC), you literally have to make an effort to go there. But it is well worth the effort. I grew up in Lexington, but have since moved away. On a recent visit home, I brought my youngest daughter with me to introduce her to the place that her father grew up. I wanted to have her experience the sights, sounds and flavors of my hometown. Price's BBQ is NOT a large joint. However, the food that they serve is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend Price's BBQ to anyone that has the urge for down-home country cooking served as an all-u-can-eat buffet. This is absolutely your spot. Price's BBQ is family owned and operated - I can only assume it is by the Price family. I was impressed with the quality and quantity of entrees and desserts. Both were excellent. Note: this is a home style restaurant and if you're thinking/expecting it to be like a Ryan's or Golden Corral, you are in for a completely different experience. The restaurant was clean and presentable. The service was excellent and incredibly friendly. Most importantly, the food was exceptional. I can't wait to eat here again. read more

Fried squash ... nuf said. Sunday buffet is very good. Friendly people and good 'ol' sweet tea!

My husband and I went in at 6pm on a Saturday afternoon. They had fish. They had no fried chicken, and everyone was complaining. They did not cook any more . And it's SALTY. What happened? The service was slow, I had to get our drinks, nobody else was doing anything. I was furious because it's 6 pm. You only have a buffet and it's limited. The squash and okra are like chewing on a greasy salt block. You need to look closely at the front of house people. I see 1 lady , short, probably 40, fixing plates, answering the phone, cashing out people and getting tea. There's 2 other females in there that walk around and do nothing. I have watched for the last 6 months. Keep shorty, but you really need to get the other two to stop talking and start working. read more

The buffet is simple but taste like grandma cooked it. The have the best fried shrimp around and the best fried chicken. I love going here because everything is cooked fresh. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere and people. It's a great place to get a real Sunday dinner type food! Very reasonable and always fresh

Went here with the family on Saturday, we had dinner. The dinner hours are 4: 00p to 7: 00p which is closing. The price is $14 per adult they offer drinks that are included but it's only iced tea and lemonade they may also have fruit punch they charge extra if you want soda. The place was very clean and the staff was extremely pleasant. Unfortunately that was the best part the buffet. It was extremely small. I would not classify it as a dinner buffet but more as a quick bite to eat or like a roadside stand. It was like if somebody wheeled a small cart out of the kitchen with maybe eight or so different foods that were on it. Here is a list of things that they have the night we went catfish, green beans, hash, Black eyed peas, mustard base pulled pork, hush puppies, fried squash, fried Chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, white rice, dinner rolls they might have had one or two more things on there. For dessert they only had banana pudding which tasted like vanilla pudding and they added the banana and wafers to it. Yes also they had pieces of pie which they will charge you three in change EACH SLICE on top of your regular price when you enter. All of the food seemed have tasted like it was frozen not much taste to it pretty much all neutral nothing really stood out. My recommendations to this place would be charge one price for everything and have more selection they are on the right path with having a excellent staff and a clean place. They just need to have more selection and better quality food unfortunately I would not recommend this place (At this time). read more

Food was very good. Nice small cafe I would say need more lighting over the food bar so you can see it better. Servicer was friendly.

I want all to know that I am sober The waitress at the bbq joint was selling this on the side. She brought it into to work and made it at home last night Perfectly moist vanilla pound cake. Cooked so well that the crust holds the sweetness and has no tartness from Burning but is still crispy. She used cream cheese base in her frosting but the ratio of sugar has again offset the tartness that is traditional in this base. She also mixed it so well is smooth and fluffy like a buttercream. That crescendo is the nutmeg in the frosting. It's there. I'm crying right now I started taking smaller bites to cherish the time I have left read more

Located less than a mile off the Gilbert shores of Lake Murray, this hidden treasure is an oasis in the desert that is this part of the world. Since 1964, the Price family has been serving up some of the best Lexington County BBQ and sides that you can find. Unfortunately, I only found this gem in my 20s and only had 5 years to eat here until I left Columbia. Good for me, my folks live down the road and we visit when we are back. The setting: unassuming but clean. Tile floors, tables and chairs, and a small buffet of hot food and a smaller one of cold. Tea and Lemonade to drink. The service: perfect. It is an all you can eat buffet, so your server is mainly clearing your plate(s) and filling your tea. But they're super friendly. Food: Mustard bbq with multiple veggies which do change from time to time. Fried chicken, fish, shrimp (Friday night). Cold bar with various salads, coleslaw, banana pudding. Don't miss the last part. This is the heart of the Lexington county mustard belt. Maybe I should say the buckle. But you get my drift. This is the premier restaurant. Veggies: today they had green beans, collards, potato casserole, yams, fried okra, stewed tomatoes, Mac and cheese (is a vegetable...). You'll find fried squash at night, baby Lima's, and many other things to try depending when you come. Dessert: banana pudding (included) or some of the best homemade cake you can find (sold by the slice). Having a picky special needs son, I always appreciate that they let me bring outside food for him and refuse to ever charge me for a drink for him. We try to sit out of the way as he likes to dance and eat a bit...our server joined in for a twirl with him today as did a Lexington County Deputy eating. Made our day at the lake a memory. read more

They have some of the best BB-Q I've tasted. It's cooked over a real wood fire like BB-Q should be. It's never gas fired like a lot of larger BBQ houses. They strive to make your dining experience great with excellent service that you can only get from a local family restaurant! read more

Great, family owned and operated BBQ spot, best sweet tea, best fried okra and squash. This family puts their heart and soul into their food and it shows! read more

We go the first Sunday of the month for meat loaf Sunday. The food is on point. The team is hardworking and friendly. A really nice treat.

Atmosphere is a little less than desirable. But the food is really good. I've gotten it several times to go for parties and family get together. Their hash is exceptional. read more

I visited with a large group. The place was packed. Why ??? Because it's good, or great for that matter. The Buffett was small but sufficient. Mostly country cooking on the Buffett, with beans, yams, mac and cheese and similar. The fried chicken was hot and juicy. Ocra was awesome as well as mac and cheese. I'm a red bbq sauce fan, but the mustard based was ok too. The whole package was great. Staff was friendly and prices great. You just cant best the whole thing. We will be back for sure. read more

Horrible. It's a buffet and all fried food was over cooked, cold and chewy. Canned veggies. Only bbq was pulled pork. But it was cheap...

Decided to stop after a visit in the area. Not a huge selection but the food was very good. The fried shrimp was very tasty. About the best I ever had. Price has gone up since last posted but what hasn't? Dinner was $14. Not sure bout lunch but probably the same $3 increase. read more

Chopped bbq was expensive and didn't like the sauce. Was severely disappointed. If the sauce was better than the bbq would be solid. Almost 12$ a pound. I don't think so. Probably not coming back. I saw the buffet. It looked ok. Maybe that's the way to go. IDK read more

Very artistic Tiny Eating place BUT Good Food ( try Pound Cake wIcing for Addtl $ if available)

Prices is the best. Out of the way local joint with great food and people. One of our favorites to visit and eat.

I ate lunch today at Price's BBQ. The restaurant has a Gilbert address, but, it's near Lake Murray and just outside Lexington, South Carolina off U.S. Highway 378. The barbeque pork and hash were excellent! Lunch today was only $8. I also enjoyed fried okra, beans, salad and macaroni and cheese. They are open Thursday - Saturday for lunch and dinner and a big lunch on Sunday. I decided to eat here today after seeing the restaurant listed among the best barbeque restaurants in South Carolina. They are right - it's great barbeque. read more

Such an awesome find. If you like NC style mustard BBQ, fried chicken, Catfish, and some of the best fried shrimp we've ever had...go here. Buffet, but we did take out and had a picnic at the tree farm down the road. So good! read more

Small buffet. Open only certain times during the day and certain days. Side dishes taste canned. The wait staff is friendly and the place is always clean. Food is ok. read more

Not so much a review. Just saw this on cooking channel and it looked really good. But, they should NEVER cook on galvanized metal or chicken wire! The zinc in the coating will vaporize at low temps and is toxic to breath and leches into the meat! Just saying. read more

Been passing this place on Shore road for the past 35 years; never realized what a gem it was!! Ate here for the first time today and Loved it!! Barbecue was perfect; rice, hash, fried okra, hush puppies, and banana pudding were all fantastic!! Employees rocked too!! Very professional and courteous!! I will be going back and highly recommend!!! read more

Mustard based BBQ was OK, the mustard was not too strong and overpowering the pork. BBQ was very wet like it was reheated and water added. Floor dirty and plastic tablecloth pattern did not add to the dining experience. Served 3 meats BBQ, fish, and fried chicken. The chicken was the best. The shining star for the meal was the canned banana pudding. Staff was friendly and helpful but, My first and last trip here. read more

Have eaten here several times because I live so close. Small building, small dining room, small buffet, everything fried. Limited BBQ and hash. Just enough to mention bbq in the name. I really like their fried pork chops, fried okra/squash, snd greens. Small salad/dessert bar. Iced tea is alright. They also have a decent AYCE breakfast on Saturdays. The price isn't too much. About on part with the whole dining experience. read more

I have eaten this bbq for 25 years. It is by far the best bbq. The chicken is delicious and the service is exceptional. You won't ever be disappointed!!! read more

Great place to have southern BBQ. Authentic South Carolina BBQ and I always stop here when ever I'm in town. The food is great and I like the new renovations. Pulled pork is amazing as they use wood fire and you can taste the smoked pork. The place is cute but there's also takeout so you can take it to the lake nearby. A great place overall. read more

My wife and I ate dinner and had a nice experience. Buffet was kept well stocked and the food was good. We had the pulled pork, fried fish, rice and hash, vegetables, and banana pudding. The two young people working the dining room were friendly and very contientious. Great value and worth the drive if you don't live close. read more

It is well worth a try. The food here is excellent with a good selection of different items besides just bar-be-que. You will not leave here disappointed. They recently started serving breakfast on Saturday mornings. The breakfast is equally as good as their bar-be-que menu. read more

Very good. Not just a usual place. I knew the mama and she was a king among chef's. If you don't see it on the buffet ask...they might make it. read more

paid olmost forty dollars on evening for several BBQ baskets and took them to the lake to open and they had way to much sauce and they were ruined. We could not even eat them. I called and told an employee about the problelm and she sad there was nothing they could do. I told her it was a lot of money to lose. and until this event. My family and I had often ate there and ordered from there. Especially on the way to the lake. Now we do our business with SUBWAY. They made a mistake and should have corrected it. So no one would have hard feelings. read more

great bbq! Stop by on the way to the lake almost every time. Real Southern BBQ!! My Aunt lives in Surfside Beach and we always take a few pounds for the 4th. read more
