Are you willing to drive 8 hours for a truly satisfying lunch experience?!?!?…read more Are you the type of people like us who plan your road trips around specific food stops??? BECAUSE THAT'S US!!! After discovering "Duke's" last year on an all-day road trip from Maryland to Fort Lauderdale, my sister had been daydreaming for weeks about making Duke's all-you-can-eat buffet as our only meal on the trip. So, two days ago, when we drove the 7 hours down I-95 South, we pulled into the town of Walterboro, arrived at "Dukes", and immediately realized that we had arrived at the wrong barbecue location! Yes, the Walterboro location had a similar familiarity to the Ridgeland restaurant--but there were noticeable differences that gave us tremendous pause as we stood inside the doorway (stomachs growling). After re-checking Yelp, we realized that the "Duke's" that we wanted was another 45 minutes down I-95 South. My sister and I came to a silent, mental agreement that it was worth returning to Ridgeland. 2.5 hours later, it proved to be the smartest decision we would make that day. The Ridgeland location just seems to offer a more personal touch. The self-serve cafeteria part just feels fresher--and feels better well-stocked--than what we witnessed standing inside the doorway at the Walterboro location. Yes, we've had more memorable pulled pork...and more memorable fried chicken...elsewhere. But with all the available sauces, these are all positives to our southern food experience. We always like the perfectly breaded & moist fried chicken better than the pulled pork. Ironically, it's many of the vegetable sides at this barbecue that we love; they compliment the meats so well. The tiny CORN FRITTERS might be my favorite thing to eat along I-95!!! The cole slaw has the perfect blend of vinegar & mayo. I actually added the pulled pork (and a little spicy BBQ sauce) to the already tasty collard greens--and I'm salivating right now just typing up this description. And at least the mac & cheese doesn't taste like it came out of a Kraft M&C box the way that you find at the more tourist trap-like southern BBQ restaurants. The staff is friendly, and they are always either re-filling the food, or else they are keeping the homey restaurant CLEAN! Well worth the short detour off I-95. Whenever I see critics criticize $12 all-you-can-eat prices, I just gotta laugh! That's about the price you'd pay just for a McDonald's meal that doesn't come close to satisfying us the way that every stop at the Ridgeland "Duke's" does!

This location of Duke's BBQ was good. The staff were nice. The buffet as well stocked &…read moremaintained by the staff. I love to try these little BBQ spots, but the pork BBQ wasn't that good. It was bland, dry & lacking flavor. They offer a variety of sauces: mustard based, sweet tomato & spiced vinegar. I like the pork to be able to stand in its own then add a nice vinegar based sauce. Those in our group preferred the hash, a meet based type of stew served over rice. It as flavorful. I have never seen it served outside SC. Glad we tried this restaurant.

A HIDDEN GEM..WORTH TRAVELING TO…read more Located only about 3 miles off rout 95 at exit 98 ; this rustic place offers a buffet style all you can eat with large portions to boot. Due to Covid (no self service) the staff behind the buffet (Plexiglass wall) will load you plate with as much of anything you want; and as many times as you go up to the buffet table. Meanwhile the waitress will bring to your table unlimited drinks which are included in the $17 price. The fried chicken is one of the best. Cory Henderson ( owner) told me they change the frying oil every night. The ribs were meaty and tasty . You might try the tomato pie..this was a first and quite tasty. All in all i could not find one item that disturbed me or tasted bad I give them 6-stars ( not 5) I will most certainly be back

This was a hidden gem for sure!! It's an eclectic looking building with a random variety of items…read moreto purchase, local I would guess, which was already cool. The building is a combination of other buildings that you just want to explore, but on the inside, most are open for dining. And I would imagine in peak season, they need the space! The buffet was delicious, affordable, with beverages included in the price! Service was great, too! They make up your plate for you, fill your drinks, and even bus your table. Conveniently located right outside of Santee State Park or near the Santee National Golf Course, it's an easy trip to make no matter why you are in town!! The buffet is Southern Comfort foods at their best, BBQ, collards, fried fish, veggies, etc and it gets an additional items for dinner. Check it out if you're in the area!!

I love this place. It's tucked up out of the way and off the beaten path, but easily accessible…read morefrom the main roads it sits between. It is a buffet, so you serve yourself, but the owner, his family, and staff are all incredibly friendly and attentive. If someone asks you how you're doing, they really want to know! Also, don't let peak-season crowds deter you if you show up for lunch during deer hunting season. Most people are more than happy to share a table if there are empty seats. Now, THE FOOD. OMG. The food. Lunch service starts with the basics on Wednesday, where you get a choice of fried chicken, ribs, barbecue hash and maybe one other protein, mac n' cheese (the GOOD kind, like grandma makes), greens, rice, and an assortment of beans or peas grown on the owner's farm. (The cream peas are my favorite.) Sweet or unsweetened tea, water, lemonade or cokes are available. The reduced price reflects Wednesday's limited menu. The menu grows as the week progresses and culminates with the addition of fried shrimp, cole slaw, biscuits, pork chops and the occasional prime rib put out on the buffet. Desserts - homemade pound cake, banana pudding and ice cream are out for the taking. I have tasted everything on this menu at least once, but I must admit that the fried chicken is the star! The breading is so light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. It's always fresh! The ribs are delicious, too. They have a good grill char taste and a very light, mildly sticky sauce that is the perfect combination of tart, salty, and sweet. The mac n' cheese always has the right amount of crispy edges for those of is who love it and is a perfect balance of pasta, cheese, and eggy goodness! And while the pound cake is my favorite dessert, the owner has some of the best ice cream for miles. It has a high fat content and is incredibly creamy. This place is most definitely worth a "trip to the country" or as a detour on a road trip!

This place has the best freshest food, straight from the fields to the kitchen. The buffet is…read moreamazing! And the famous steak nights are always worth the drive out there! A hidden gem! Seating is limited inside, however there is outdoor seating as well. Service is always great.

Lots of desserts and the pot roast was a bit dry but the butterfly shrimp made up for it However my experience was terrible thanks to the tall skinny white guy who was cooking the steaks. I stood in line to get a steak and told him medium rare. He put a burnt piece of steak on my plate and walked away to put new steaks on the grill. I sat down upset and found out a family member was giving a medium steak that he refused to eat so I traded with him. Before leaving I wanted to discuss my experience with the steak guy so he wouldn't mess up other people food. He denied the whole thing and told me that never happened. I asked one of the waitress for his name but she didn't know. I left giving him the middle finger. From now on -- place a number by each steak photo. 1 for rare and 5 for burnt ( well done). We can give the cook our fingers instead of talking through a sneeze guard in case the cook is too busy to pay attention to what we said. Don't fire the idiot but do as I advise. I went there 7pm 5/4/26 anniversary (star wars day)
