A young waitress talked back to me and told me that "I didn't have to be so rude" here tonight after I had told the waitstaff that they had mixed up my plate with someone else plate at my family's table. I clearly was only trying to communicate to them how to fix the issue so I told the girl "No, don't even talk to me like that" which escalated further by her yelling at me, telling me "I'm a grown man and that I should shut up". And like I said, I was only trying to get my family their food they had been waiting 5 mins for after every one else had gotten their food at our table. Honestly, I have been eating bbq in this building since before this girl was born so it's all very laughable to me. My father built Scott Leoapols bbq spot for him that burnt down where the rv park by McDonald's is now. I like grew up in that spot and ate it a ton when he first moved into this republic building so long ago. I will say it's pretty nice inside now. They tried to build a fancy bar to compete with margarita jones. The food was good, I am not a fan of the weird burntish bbq sauce but I hear some people like it. And at the end of the day, the manager walked outside as we were leaving and handed me a full pecan pie from house of pies so that's tite as fuck. Turned this 2 stars into 3!

Amazing staff, friendly and kind! Quick stop on our way home it has been the best BBQ I've tried so far! Clean, nice restaurant! Loved the brisket! Mac! And they even gave a free cookie to my kiddo! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely love this place. Owners are awesome, had an amazing server Savanna who was super attentive and went out of her way to make our experience awesome. Their barbecue sauce is absolutely perfect, tender and delicious brisket (not bland and not overly spiced) , Mac and cheese was delish, sausage was delicious and I really enjoyed the slaw. Got a chance to watch some football while we were there. The place was completely remodeled and looks brand new. Super clean and really good vibe, This will definitely be my new BBQ spot.

I dined at Republic BBQ for the first time this past weekend. My friend and I were concerned because this restaurant doesn't have the strong bbq pit smell. Upon entering, I noticed that the restaurant was very clean. The meals and reasonably priced and they have a bar with some good selection of adult beverages. Customer service was superb! Thank you! The potato salad is the best potato salad that I've ever eaten at a restaurant! I was not expecting it to be so good. It actually tasted like my family made it. Lol. The peach cobbler was very good. The brisket was cooked to perfection and tasted really good. Everything was good except the baked potato and this is the reason for 4/5 stars. Nonetheless, I will dine here when I'm in town again.

Friendly bartender and a nice building but the food is absolutely terrible. Some of the worst bbq I've had in a while.

Food and service were excellent. My only complaint would be that they were out of turkey.

The flavor of the meat is amazing! No bbq sauce required. The price is a little high but the size of the sides makes up for it.

Stopped in while visiting West Columbia. The marbled Brisket was fantastic and so were the Ribs.
