Update: Where do I…read morestart?! Well, today my husband wanted to order some food from Big T Bar-B-Q. 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.

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!

There isn't much seating inside, so highly recommend getting to go plates and eating in one of the picnic areas at the park.

They only have lemonade or sweet tea to drink, but both are homemade. Service was great and our food came out quickly - it was pretty busy with phone orders and other customers while we were there, but only one lady was working, she kept it all under control though!

PROS of our dining experience : Fairly empty dining room so…read moreplenty of covid spacing. All staff took covid precautions wearing masks and gloves. The buffet is protected by plexi glass and your plate is prepared by a server . Very efficient service . Servers were friendly and our drinks were always filled and plates cleared quickly. Quick dining. It's buffet style so no waiting for food to be prepared. We were traveling home with several more hours on the road and wanted a quick dinner so a buffet seemed ideal. CONS: The bbq completely missed the mark for me in terms of texture and flavor. It was dry and clearly not pit cooked. Tasted more like it was boiled and reheated in an oven. There was no sauce on the meat which would have helped during the cooking process. The three sauces available were mustard, vinegar and a ketchup based one. We did not care for any of them. The vinegar was 100 % vinegar with nothing else added to it. The ketchup based tasted like ketchup mixed with Kraft bbq sauce. We were very disappointed in the lack of culinary creativity in the sauces. Bbq sauce is an art, it can literally make or break the meat and it seemed like an afterthought at Hawg Heaven. Overall, there was nothing on the buffet that was particularly tasty or worth the calories. They offered quite a selection like fried chicken, pork loin and mashed potatoes but everything lacked seasoning and flavor. The only way to put it is the food did not seem to be made with love! Lol .Perhaps they were having an off night so maybe one day I can improve my rating.

I've been a 'frequent flyer' at Hawg Heaven for a long time. The experience, service & food had…read morealways been exceptional, but recently it appears success has 'gone to their head'. Last night (10/17) we went with some friends for an early meal at about 5:45P and to beat the soon-to-come suppertime rush. The selection wasn't all we'd expected on a Friday evening & it soon became apparent they were moving leftovers from lunch. The vegetable selection was just fine, but the BBQ was only somewhere close to room temp. The ribs looked great, but were tough & not warm. Both the broiled fish & fried chicken were unacceptable: tough, dry & nowhere near warm. I've had a little experience with food inspection & assume a DHEC inspector would've probably closed them. We've had similar experience recently & assumed it was just a fluke, but it's become more a pattern. Someone overseeing the kitchen is letting food get to the serving line that's not acceptable...or even safe. Assuming this gets read, we'll probably give it another try, but if it isn't greatly improved, it'll be Farm Boy's or the long ride to Shealey's.

If the chicken was fresh and didn't had that Chinese taste to it, it might could have worked.additionally they chicken tasted as if they were on the verge of going bad. The fries started off ok, then underneath the few fresh batch came the old batch. For $10.99 this was overall disappointing. But the employee or owner was nice! Plenty of inside eating space which I might recommend you do so that you don't get all the way home and bite into your chicken and taste that almost sour taste. They probably just had a bad moment and thanks to me living way cross on the other side of town, I will not be trying this place again. Best of luck!
