    Seriously great food!
    Kelly H.

    Seriously great food! The smoked pork is beyond tasty! The ribs are divine! Collard greens and potato salad is awesome! But don't skip the desserts! The thick rich banana pudding is nirvana as is the best I've ever had Red Velvet cake! Simply Incredible food!

    My first time in South Carolina and I was eager to try some authentic South Carolina BBQ. Choo choo did not disappoint. The brisket and the pulled pork were incredible - perfectly tender with a classic smokey flavor. The sides were equally delicious - crispy coleslaw and a decadent potato salad. Service was wonderful. Friendly staff and we were served quickly. 100% recommend and I will be back at least once more on this trip.

    This might be my new favorite bbq spot in South Carolina. Out of all the other barbecue joints I've been to in the area, this place stands alone. Nothing fancy, just quality. The ribs were the star of the show. Service was great and prices were fair.

    The food was fresh and delicious, the service was excellent. Everything tasted absolutely homemade. Would totally be a regular if I lived in the area. Thank me later and get some food here.

    Excellent brunch meal on a Sunday afternoon!…read more This is an active farm with home grown veggies and chickens for eggs and more (maybe)? Because chick. Is certainly a star of the menu! It was for our meal - complete with chicken legs and chicken livers and chicken nuggets asking with some good sides including deviled eggs with homemade bacon bits. We also had Mac n cheese, broccoli casserole, tomato and cucumber salad and green beans. They have great hours including brunch until 3pm on Sundays - and they seat until 3pm, which we were grateful for, as we arrived just prior to 3pm. We called ahead to be sure this was acceptable and we were told with friendly, welcoming voices that as long as we were seated before 3pm, we were welcome - so here we are! Yum yum! Checkered red and white table cloths, chicken pens out back, the garden patch complete with scarecrows and a perimeter fence to help keep the critters out are all featured at the locale! There is plenty of hubbub about this place on the talking boards and review boards - and now we've added our two cents - which reminds me that the prices are really reasonable and the service was fantastic! The fried chicken was hot as a fire cracker - freshly made with a fantasist batter. The livers were outstanding and also served piping hot! All the veggies and casseroles were super and served at the perfect temp! The salad and beets were so tasty and they were served chilled and were perfect! Kitschy and clean - and not a bit of mean! We will be back!

Side note: We sat next to a table of two young children who were watching videos on two different tablets with the volume blasting while their parents sat at an adjacent table with another couple. Parents of these children, have a little self awareness and tell your kids to put their tablets on mute or buy them some headphones or earbuds. WTF? Service: Our waitress did a good job of getting our drink orders correct and our food came out pretty quickly 4/5 Food: I had the patty melt and my wife had a burger. The food was above average. 3.5/5 The beer: This is where things went sideways . I've had SBB's core beers before and they are pretty solid, especially the Damn Yankee IPA. We decided to get two flights of beer. The flights had all 8 of their small batch releases. They were terrible. I would only order 1 out the 8 again. The two Belgian beers and the sour had a strong vinegar taste. The others were unremarkable. 1/5 I'd go back for the core beers and food, but would be very leery ordering any small batch beers Overall rating 2/5. It would have been a. 3/5 rating if I didn't order any small batch beers.

I love their…read morepulled pork and their fried chicken is probably the best I've ever had from a restaurant! They poke holes in the top of your to go container so that when you get home the crust on your chicken isn't soft bc it was steamed from the heat inside the box. They cook it to order which I love. Their brisket is delicious! You can taste the smoke and it's juicy and tender. But my very, very favorite is their ribs! They only have them on certain days. And bc I can only get Pistol Joe's when I'm home and have the time I don't always remember what days that is. I say this bc if my memory serves me correctly, they used to have a little tiny bifold board that sat on the counter in front of the cashier who takes your order that stated whether or not they had ribs that day. So Fri I went in and I didn't see that they had ribs (and I should have just asked, so that's my fault) so I ordered some chicken and then there was an an actual menu laying there (as opposed to the chalkboard hanging from the wall) and it said ribs Wed-Fri. So I quickly asked if they had ribs and the cashier said yes. So I changed my order immediately so I could get some of those ribs. When I went to get my sweet tea the owner (I'm assuming) called my name to let me know my order was ready. When I take my bag I look down and I see the little bifold sign sitting by where the cups are (to the left of the cashier and behind her) and it says ribs Wed-Fri. That's the sign that is usually in front of the cashier. The other side listed desserts or something, I actually can't remember. So I said to him I didn't realize you had ribs today until I saw the actual printed menu bc I'm used to the little bifold board saying whether or not you have ribs. He pointed to a spot underneath the big chalkboard and said "always look here to see if we have ribs that day". Which is fine, from now on I will look below the bottom right corner of the chalkboard to see if they have ribs but they still have that little bifold sign so why not use it? I mean I get if you're not using it anymore but when it's sitting there off to the side maybe get rid of the sign or put it back in front of the cashier. That's just my suggestion. Bc I'm so glad I glanced down at the printed menu bc they have some of THE best ribs (maybe the best) in town. You don't need any sauce. The flavor, the smoke, the tenderness of the ribs stand alone and don't need sauce. They are cooked to perfection! They pull away from the bone just by biting into them (fall of the bone ribs are not how you cook perfectly smoked ribs, they have to stay on the bone until you bite into them). And with the seasoning and the smoke it makes for a heavenly experience. I tried their mac & cheese a long time ago and didn't care for it so I never get it but I did this time around to see if anything had changed. Nope, nothing changed. Their mac & cheese tastes like boxed mac & cheese and if it's not I would be totally shocked. The only difference is that they have a lot of pepper in theirs, which I'm ok with bc I love pepper. But it definitely looks and tastes like boxed mac & cheese. I love their other sides. I would just avoid the mac. The staff is always friendly and the food comes out quickly unless you get fried chicken, you have to wait 15 minutes but it's worth the wait. When I changed my mind about the chicken when I realized they had ribs the young lady behind the register called out to the cook (owner? I'm not sure) and said change that chicken to ribs and he jokingly said "nope, no changing your order". We all laughed, that's another reason why I love this place is bc they treat you like friends. Give them a try, you won't be sorry. I got my order on Fri and it's Sun evening and I'm getting ready to eat my last rib. I've had them for the last 2 nights and I only go a half a rack. They know what they're doing with smoking meats.

    Wow what great bbq for a great price. The family meal can easily feed 8 if you add the rack of ribs…read morefor a total of $130. The quality is fantastic, fall of the bone ribs and the brisket just pulls apart. It is some of the most tender brisket I have ever had. The bbq sauce is well balanced. I didn't love the other sauces we tried and the fried chicken was average. Everything else was superb. We fed 6 and did not touch two of the sides containers. The restaurant itself looks like a fun hang out. The garage bar is a cool design and looks great for drinks. Special shout out to the servers who helped us out. We are from Los Angeles and when we ordered through our toast account, it updated the time to Pacific. Thankfully they fired it right when I arrived and got me the meal with 30 min. Greta restaurant and anyone in Hilton Head MUST try this spot.

    We tried One Hot Mama's BBQ for takeout and overall had a really great experience…read more Two of us ordered the barbecue chicken salad, which comes in a taco shell bowl. The shell was actually the surprise standout -- fluffy, light, and crisp with great flavor. It's nothing like those typical taco salad shells that tend to be greasy or overly hard. This one tasted fresh and really elevated the whole salad. The brisket burnt ends chili was also excellent. It has a tomato-based chili flavor, so if that's your style of chili, this is definitely the one to order. It came with these cute little hard cornbread pieces that soften nicely once they sit in the chili. The chili also includes red kidney beans and had really great depth of flavor. My sister loved the barbecue ribs and french fries, which were a big hit. The smoked turkey was good as well, though it seemed to have a seasoning on it that was a little unexpected. I'm usually not a fan of mustard-based barbecue sauces, but this one was surprisingly tasty with a nice vinegary kick. The traditional barbecue sauce wasn't quite my favorite. Overall, a solid takeout experience. I'd definitely go back and try a few more things -- but the taco shell salad bowl and the chili were the clear standouts.
