They have limited hours weekly - they are open 9 hours a week. Plan to arrive early in the day because they prepare a daily menu and once they're out of that item, that's it.

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.

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.

I ended up stopping in at both Big T BBQ locations, sort of by accident but sort of on purpose…read more I'll consider this single review a combined review of both locations. Do what you want with that. As a Southern boy I'm always on the lookout for good BBQ. And being that I currently live in the Pacific Northwest, where good BBQ isn't really a thing, given a chance to stop at a BBQ place in the South, I'm taking it. We had been visiting Congaree National Park for the day and the satellite location out by Congaree was an easy drive from the park gate, so of course I took that opportunity. The place is small, I mean really small. I was not aware that it is mainly a take-out satellite location. But we were greeted very kindly and welcomed to take one of the two tables they do have inside after placing our order at the counter. The women working here were so very kind and friendly. And everyone who stopped in to get food was also very friendly. It gave me that feeling of being back home in Texas where people still have manners and show kindness. Being a satellite location, the menu was limited. Being unaware of that I was kind of bummed, because several of the menu items I wanted were not available this day, but that's on me. I should have done my research better. I ended up ordering a pulled pork sandwich with collard greens and my wife got some fried chicken. They do use the typical Carolina yellow BBQ sauce here, which I had never tried before so for me that was a pleasant surprise as I like trying new things. Everything tased great, we really enjoyed our meal. I was really bummed that they did not have banana pudding at this location, because as a Texas boy, any chance I get to have banana pudding, I'm taking it. So after finding out they did not have banana pudding at this location, I then found out that the main location back in Columbia was literally on our way back, so I decided to stop there and get my banana pudding. So let's talk about the Columbia location now; The only real thing I stopped here for was my banana pudding, and I grabbed a sweet tea while I was there, because again, Texas boy. :-) The banana pudding was exactly what I was looking for. It tasted exactly like it should. Now, I see some reviews talking about rude employees here. I did not find that to be true at all. Everyone I dealt with at this location (and the satellite location) were very friendly. It was very clear that they were in the middle of a decent rush and rather busy. But everyone was friendly. If I had any real complaints about Big T BBQ, and this goes for both locations, it would be the decor. I get that it's a low budget BBQ joint trying to get by, but maybe invest a little money cleaning up the place and getting good tables and chairs. AT both locations my wife and I sat at what should have been a 4 person booth that was up against a wall. But the table legs were in the middle of the seat so you would never be able to actually sit a person on the "inside" of the table, basically making it a large 2 person table. Also, the place just needed a good cleaning overall. Sticky floors are a big thing to me, maybe run a mop over it once in a while. Overall I was here for the food, which was great. And the staff was friendly enough to make me happy. Some decor and cleanliness items could go a long way here. But I'd visit again if I was in the neighborhood.

At the hour mark it was still not ready. Obviously they had missed/forgot our order. When we questioned them again, it still wasn't ready. We asked for our money back and then our food appeared. The owner is very nice but They really need to better prepare for festivals and these kind of events.

I loved the flavors and then was even further impressed with their Fish Fry. What was unique about the fish was that the fried coating was one that you'd find on a chicken since it was so thick, rather than a lighter coating on fish. It managed to be absolutely addicting! Their fries even deserve immense credit because they are seasoned so nicely. Love when I see them parked around here because I always have to stop!
