    This place was an absolute must try after seeing it pop up in my feeds. I checked the website and…read moreit showed they were closing in an hour. I called and tried to place a Togo order and they do not allow for that. They did say though that they keep serving customers even if it's past closing. So took the drive to the other side of Columbia and it was very much worthwhile. They sell out of things and so if things are cross off the menu, then you should have went earlier. I missed out on the smoked links. It was pretty quiet for a Sunday afternoon and there were not that other many people in the dining area. Hopefully, that's just because it's a Sunday in South Carolina. The burnt ends, wings, wings, collards, beans, corn bread and rich with hash we're all stand outs. The staff was very friendly and helped make this place a gem that I'll highly recommend.

    I feel like barbecue spots might follow a similar playbook regarding meats, smoke, sides, and…read moresauce, but they certainly are not created equal. When I was visiting my sister in Columbia, South Carolina, she told me about City Limits Barbecue and since there was only one day on our calendar that they would be open, our schedule was set. We got there pretty early after they had opened, but there's still was a line out the door. A little bit into our wait in line the owner/chef came out to talk us through the menu, his process, and recommendations. This was such a cool touch. I loved hearing about everything that he put into the product and the passion he has for his cooking. As you can imagine... The food was SPECTACULAR. Look, the brisket was absolutely top-notch and this beef rib was possibly the most tender chunk of meat I have ever had. We also got a half pound of their chopped whole hog option with crispy skins, and while it was delicious and flavorful, it didn't have the smoke or barbecue flavor without sauce that I was looking for. Of course, we had to go with practically an appetizer sampler of the sides and if I would've been able to put the food away, I would have just ordered one of everything. The collard greens were really good and not overly bitter, this sweet jalapeño coleslaw was maybe one of my favorite coleslaw recipes I've ever had, but the star of the show in my opinion were the sweet beans which was what most people would call baked beans. The amount of time, effort, and attention to every flavor in these beans was 10/10. Talk about bringing a humble ingredient to life. The cornbread was as amazing as you would imagine and the carrot cake was delicious. If you're looking for something unique with their barbecue, opt for the brisket sandwich with chili con queso or the Texicano. I was being a purist snob and just wanted the beef rib, but I stole a bite of my sister's sandwich and holy cow... Starve yourself the day before you visit, arrive early, and prepare to have a religious experience.

    Decided to drive out to West Columbia tonight to try these tacos and was not disappointed. The…read moresteak tacos were delicious and for about the price of three from a "boutique" taco restaurant I got five with cilantro and lime - sliced radishes, carrots and onions on the side and a roasted jalapeño. $17 and change I believe. My tacos had corn tortilla which sometimes fall apart from my experience. Not here. And they had two tortillas each just in case. They have several meats you can have on the taco (there are pictures on this page so you can see for yourself). And they do more than tacos if that's not what you want (also more pics on Yelp of menu on truck) The order was fresh and it took about 15 minutes. In the meantime, you can sit in your car or prop up and watch traffic. If you go at night, they have two bright floodlights on the front so you can see your surroundings well. It's a new place to me but apparently not to locals. Drive up traffic was steady. I paid cash but they told me they also take cards. Tip jar at the window. Woman at the window was also very nice and helpful. They appear to be open reasonably late but I can't remember how late. Give this place a try! Totally worth it

    (Get prepped for a detailed review). I'm always up for a good food truck, but to be honest…read moresometimes they get redundant. I even think the lack of variety makes some food trucks more popular than maybe they deserve to be. Barn Bites is every bit deserving of all good things said about them and their food, and if given the opportunity, you REALLY need to be sure and give it a try. My kids (highschoolers) are always down to try a new chicken sandwich.... but to be honest there's not many places you can take a sandwich that it either hasn't been before... or where it just becomes a sloppy mess. So I'm not sure what we were expecting, but Barn Bites was better than any expectation. We waited in a little bit of a line, maybe 7 people back. We ordered at 2:45pm. So, first thing I'm thinking is this is gonna take a while. But it will probably be some chicken thrown in a fryer (from frozen) and they'll throw sauce and something else on it. So it won't take long. But no. Right there in the window, they set the expectation. This is going to take some time, they hand bread/season to order, and it WILL take you 10-12 minutes to get your food. This is also genius. Setting that expectation up front...... THANK YOU! Totally didn't even notice the time pass. We got our food at 3:10. So it took 25 minutes, but we expected a wait... we had people in front of us, and they all had to wait 10-12 minutes. So we were fine with it. In fact this raised our expectations... which is NOT something a food truck wants you to do if they can't back it up. So we sat down about 3:11pm. And I kid you not by 3:13pm we had already decided this was THE best chicken sandwich anywhere. My daughter and I got the Palmetto, my son got the Hot Sam... we did this so I could get a bite of his sandwich and try it. Well, my son inhaled his sandwich. I never got a try. The Palmetto... was other worldly. The spices, the crisp... this was no pressed chicken patty or frozen shredded stuff. This was a thick, chicken sandwich, that was JUICY and not dry. We added the rosemary parmesan fries. The 3 of us said the same thing... there's a place downtown called Grill Marks. Their fries are truffle butter parmesan rosemary. They're delicious but after a while, they're so heavy they make you feel ill. Barn Bites were PERFECTION. Not greasy, not overly saturated with cheese or oil or anything. They were amazing. So think of the best chicken sandwich you've had. ChickFila? Zesto? Even BoJangles. yeah they're fast food places... ok so how about somewhere like Old Mill, or Liberty. This sandwich is better. WAY better. The folks in the truck were super nice. The strawberry lemonade was on point and fresh, with bits of fruit in it. This isn't any ordinary food truck. This is a food truck you want to get in line for, will happily wait for, and will seek out to go back to. I don't make long reviews often, but when someone deserves it.. deserves success and deserves to be known about... I like to at least do my part to spread the word and recognize. Seriously you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you to the folks at Barn Bites food truck, who were at Hazelwood yesterday. You've got this family hooked. I wish you much success and longevity!! We will be back to try the pork chop version, and the other sides.... we got the fries and the cheese balls.... we need more.

    An interesting choice, but not my favorite food truck…read more My family chose to have hot dogs for dinner, and we were so excited to give The Haute Dog Lady a try. We moved from Michigan and haven't been able to find a good Coney dog in South Carolina, so my husband was estatic to see Coney dogs on the menu. We ordered two coney dogs, two jumbo dogs, one kids meal, and nachos for our group of 5. After placing our order, we were just kind of left to wait. I wasn't given a total, asked to pay, told it would be up in X minutes, etc... I thought that the person working was kind, but not very communicative. When our order was finally ready (about 10 minutes later), everything was passed out in open containers one by one. It was hard to carry so much by myself and I had to ask for something to put it in. I thought it common sense to see a person, alone, with 8 items wouldn't be able to carry 8 food items that were in no packaging. She just kept handing me things while she looked for a styrofoam box (like a to go box) and I had to leave my food on the ground to take the box from her. It seemed like the truck was unprepared for "to go orders". No bags, no containers with lids, etc. Not even a table to set food on while organizing. This was the most disappointing part of using this food truck and the reason I'm removing one star. The food itself was alright but not spectacular. The Coney dog was extremely disappointing. It is not a good Coney dog and our search for an authentic style Coney dog will continue. Their chili for the Coney dog was more sweet and tasted like BBQ sauce more than it did chili. My hot dog was missing toppings, even though she said the correct toppings when she read it back to me. For the price, I expected better order accuracy and was hoping for a more authentic style Coney dog. This is the reason that I removed another star. Overall, I'd likely not give this truck another try, but it definitely wasn't the worst in the world either. It may be someone's favorite but it certainly wasn't mine.

We were seated right away and greeted with chips and bean dip, which is delicious. They have a salsa bar with about 6 or more salsas people are able to choose from. The traditional salsa as well as the tomatillo salsa is my favorite. The ranch-style salsa is also one of my favorites. In addition to the salsas and bean dip, we also ordered queso, which is creamy and delicious. The grand margarita is amazing! Definitely will be my go to margarita here. They make it beautiful with the garnish. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas. The chicken and steak were seasoned well, along with the vegetables, all of which were cooked to perfection. The rice and beans were delicious as well. I love how fresh everything is. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. The parking can get tight, but it's totally worth the wonderful experience.

    Stopped by here with a colleague for dinner and so enjoyed the experience!…read more I arrived on a Wednesday evening just before 7pm and was able to be seated straight away. The parking lot was full (was able to park in the log of a a nearby business that was closed) but there's plenty of seating inside so even with the full lot, we were easily able to get a table. Our server greeted us straight away and brought water, chips, and bean dip. They also have a salsa bar where you can help yourself to salsa! For my cocktail, I got their oaxaca old fashioned. Which was a reposado twist on a traditional whiskey old fashioned. It was great! For a starter, in addition to chips, bean dip, and salsa, we ordered some of their queso, which was silky cheesy deliciousness. For my dinner, I got the #19--chile relleno, small cheese quesadilla, and mexican rice. The chile relleno was flavorful, delicious, and had just the right amount of heat. It had a lovely drizzle of their queso as well which was a nice addition. It was so good! The dining room is clean, brightly lit, and nicely decorated. Our server was friendly and attentive. Truly, a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Get to it!
