We were passing through Lake City and actually looking for Macks BBQ. But when we got to the address, the signage said "Rabbit's Bar-B-Que." No matter, I always try any BBQ place. I am glad we stopped here! Note, they are open Thursday through Saturday. My rating is based solely on the BBQ since we grabbed a sandwich to go. This is a wonderful looking place, tiny, and take out only. It is unique. There are just two rooms, and a I believe a pit room out back. When you walk in, you are in a small room and one wall has an open window to the kitchen, the order window. That's it. The kitchen is not a commercial looking one, but to me the type of small stove, fridge, countertops and cabinetry you'd find in a 70's apartment. As I walked in, a man probably near 80 was leaving and asked what he had and it was the chopped BBQ. He said "the best there is." The man taking my order was Rabbit. He was extremely friendly and welcoming. I asked how long they'd been there and he said just a few weeks. We talked for a few minutes. There was only one other person there, a woman in the kitchen and unfortunately I don't recall if he said that was his wife or not. But she was putting together orders on a small island in the center of the small kitchen. The smell of the meat and sauce was great. On the kitchen counter was a sleeve of napkins, plastic utensils, and loaves of white sliced bread. On the island was pulled pork in aluminum trays that looked like it had just been pulled off the bone, steam and good aromas rising. I got a chopped BBQ sandwich with slaw to go. She piled the Q on and added homemade slaw. The meat was very, very moist, pulled and not chopped to pieces like some places, so it retained all the nice juices. It was a little peppery with a little vinegar base, and smoky. The slaw is a green slaw but unique. It is not mayonnaise-ish at all, but chopped crisp fresh cabbages and pepper. What is unusual about it was that it had chopped pickle in it which added a little vinegar flavor as well, and the crunch it added was really nice. All this was was piled on basic sliced white sandwich bread. I've not seen that in a very long time. The portion was huge. They put it in a styrofoam container and they were one of fewer places now that put plastic utensils and napkins in the bag without you having to ask. The fork is needed since there was so much meat it was overflowing the bread. This is a great stop if you are in the area or a BBQ junkie like me on the hunt for good places. Give them a try. I really enjoy the food and the people. The best I ever had, no, but I really liked the flavor, the atmosphere and friendliness of the owner, the look of the place, and the way they served it. I will be back to try the brisket - looked good and gets great reviews! read more

Piggybacks bbq & catfish

Piggybacks BBQ & Catfish - Lake City, SC If you're ever in…read moreLake City, you have to stop by Piggybacks BBQ & Catfish--it's local, it's fun, and it's downright delicious. This isn't your average BBQ joint. It's a labor of love born right here at a hometown festival back in 2010, when Mitchell and his team first set up a table and tent and sold out their BBQ and hand-cut fries. Fast-forward to today, and they've grown into a full-on outdoor kitchen with some of the best eats in town. The wings and fish nuggets are addicting--crispy, flavorful, and never get old. The brisket is tender and smoky every time, and they've got a solid lineup of sandwiches that hit the spot. And let me tell you, the desserts? Divine. No lie--sometimes I think my sister-in-law only visits Lake City for those special fries. (And honestly, I don't blame her.) From frog legs to turkey gizzards, Mitchell is always cooking up something new, and it's clear this isn't just about food--it's about community, creativity, and making people smile. You can feel that heart in every plate. It's walking distance from just about everything in town, and it's one of those rare places where folks come for the food but stay for the feeling. Whether you're craving catfish by the pound or just want to enjoy a sandwich and sweet tea under the Carolina sky, Piggybacks is the real deal. So go ahead--stand in that line, try something new, and thank yourself later.

However, yesterday we stopped by there to eat and the food was not good at all. The food did not leave an impression for me to want to return. The food was bland. It needs more seasoning (such as the dressing needed more salt and pepper, the macaroni needed to be mixed in with the macaroni noodles and pepper, fried chicken fried too hard with no substance, sweet potatoes was not sweet, and the list goes on. I was with a group and they also expressed the same thoughts. Please take this review and improve upon the taste of your food.

Jeremy was at the take out window and explained they are opened Thursday to Saturday. I ordered 2# of pork and 2 fried corns, quart of collars and a chicken breast. They explained they were given me 2 breast because they were small. When I finally got home 50miles away, I couldn't wait to try the chicken, according to Jeremy it is the best. I opened the box and to my surprise it was two cut off backs of the breast( I had seen whole breast in buffet and couldn't figure out why I was given these backs) After tasting the chicken it was so salty it was like they took it off some ones leftover plate because I can't see them selling this salty chicken on a buffet. If this is practice I would rather go to the schoolhouse bbq buffet which is up the street. The corn was good but very greasy. The pork was tasty but dry and the collards where good. They included 2 small cups of bbq sauce which tasted like mustard, which I didn't care for. After this experience I'm not really sure I would return to this place. Scott's bbq in Hemingway is still the tops in South Carolina but I was real excited about this place because of the convenience it is for my return home from Florida every month.
