Signs up everywhere stating masks are mandatory yet they did not remind people to wear a mask while at the buffet (they did remind them to wear gloves though so it could have been done) so the majority didn't and employees serving and refilling trays of food were wearing masks below their noses or not at all so if you want everyone's germs on your very mediocre bbq during covid I guess this is the place for you. read more

Awesome food for a reasonable price! An absolute must stop if you are in the area! You will not be disappointed!

Really top notch home style chicken,ribs, pulled pork,great mustard based sauce served buffet style at a price that can't be believed.$12 for all you can eat which includes lemonade or iced tea plus dessert. The stars are for the food though which is quite tasty read more

Love the mom & pop vibe of the place. We stopped on our way to FL and this place was great! They make an excellent honey mustard bbq sauce and a delicious peach cobbler. If you're in need of satisfying a bbq craving, stop at this place! read more

We stopped here on a road trip coming back from Florida to Pennsylvania. What a great decision it was! The people were kind, gentle, and the service was phenomenal. If I'm ever in Ridgeland again, I will gladly return. read more

Dang this here is some tasty food. Very pleasant staff. Superb lunch spot. Not too far off the highway worth the deviation. 5 Star food 3 Star decor 5 Star staff! read more

See all

Worst BBQ ever! Restaurant is nasty... Not much food selection on bar and food either cold or burnt

This place is awesome! We were there in July 2018 and it was all you could eat for $11 which included a drink and a choice of homemade desserts which were delicious! Everything I ate was fantastic! And you could tell this is where the local eat! I would go out of my way to eat there again if I ever am traveling on I 95, it is only a few miles off the road. read more

Duke's BBQ - Southern Near Me - Ridgeland, South Carolina

So I usually am not up for a buffet but let me tell you what, this is a game changer. The pork was amazing but the chicken is where it is at. The sides are top notch and I highly suggest trying the Mac and Cheese and hush puppies. Do not short yourself by leaving without getting banana pudding before leaving. read more

Was told great things about this this place, but never got to get anything because apparently they shut down the drivethru @ 20:00 with a close time of 20:30. I called to see if they were still open and got hung up on. Maybe next time... read more

Heading back to South Carolina from Florida along I-95 and wanting dinner to satisfy the hunger but not take too long. Saw the signs for BBQ. The outdoor decor was cute, even the inside seemed to be more personal. We live in SC so couldn't wait for some good BBQ as could see there were a bunch of food behind the counter but couldn't tell what meat (ie chicken, pork, etc). The sign on the wall simply listed price for sandwich plate, so I asked the woman at the counter and so much for southern hospitality. Needless to say, I just had my husband order our meal to go. The hush puppies were good. He liked his ribs, my pulled chicken sandwich was fine. Wished a bit more moisture but maybe sauce would have done that. Nice fried okras too. I had gone back in to get us plastic forks since my husband looked in the bag and didn't see any. They were placed with napkins inside each styrofoam containers with our dish. read more

Duke's BBQ - Southern Near Me - Ridgeland, South Carolina

We came here because we saw the sign on the highway that said next right...what a mistake. First of all, it's more than 2 miles off the highway if you take that next exit. And the buffet was not what I'd consider a bbq buffet, which is what is hoped for. For meat there was some dry pulled pork and some fried chicken. Where's the brisket? Ribs? Not at this bbq joint, unless you come on a certain day of the week. The mac and cheese was pretty tasteless and the gravy was wicked salty. The homemade chips were pretty good, but were sometimes soggy. The lemonade was yummy and the chicken was pretty good. But we definitely wouldn't go back. read more

After two days on the road, we were beyond sick of fast food. Thanks to Yelp, we found this place--just off I-95, a little ways from Savannah--for lunch. A true southern buffet: fresh, home cooking. My husband had the fried okra, spinach, sweet potatoes, gizzards (we think), fried chicken, and potato salad--delicious! I got the mac and cheese, corn nuggets (never had these before!), and pulled pork--yum! Everything tasted clean and fresh. The cherry tomatoes and cucumbers didn't look like typical buffet quality. They were as clean, ripe, and well presented as I would for my own kids. Then dessert--there were three options today. We had the banana pudding, first I've had in years, and it was so good and brought back so many, many great memories of childhood. Sorry, no pics. I was too busy eating !! read more

This was my first visit to this location. I was traveling and in need of some nourishment, so I stopped in for the buffet. I liked the barbeque, and loved the fried chicken and the side dishes. If you are a fan of home cooked Southern food you will just love it here. The buffet service makes it really fast and convenient to stop in and grab a bite when on a road trip. You will have to use willpower to stop from seriously overeating. read more

Above average local buffet place. Decor was pleasant and masked the cafeteria style eatery. Wide selection of food, all you can eat or to go. Chopped pork was dry. Fried chicken was fantastic. Collards-meh, Cole slaw-A, home fried chips-A, MAC & cheese-B+, assortment of sides. The dessert table had peach cobbler (B+), chocolate cake (B+). BBQ sauce was orange vinegar only. I liked it, wife not so much but she hates anything vinegar. Not expensive at all. Maybe spent $25 for 2. If you're passing through and want a decent local meal, go for it. If you're looking for classic great q, keep on driving. read more

You have to stop! But get ready to nap at the next rest stop on 95 south if traveling alone (it happened). Jeff Foxworthy would have been proud of the young kid at the register when I asked if it's just one pass at the buffet. He said "It's a buffet, you can go as many times as you want", here's your card. Seriously, the food is amazing and very down home southern cooking, and great desert bar. read more

Stopped here on the way back to Florida. What a gem! The food was just what we were hoping for. Everything was delicious! We had the hash, a new one for me, and pork. The choice of vegetables was everything you could ask for in the South. My mom doesn't eat much most of the time. Here, she ate two plates of food! We will definitely be back anytime we drive in this direction! read more

Outstanding home cooked food. Passing through South Carolina we decided to drop in for a BBQ sandwich, but was suprised to find an incredible Sunday buffet. Great variety and everything was fresh. Topped off with friendly service! read more

Don't let the long drive through line stop you. A must stop for those traveling north from Hilton Head. It was all amazing, stew tomatoes, fried okra, collard greens, pork and hush puppies. read more

This is great food for a great price. I like a pulled pork sandwich with mustard sauce and Duke's has the best mustard sauce I have ever had. They have home made potato chips that are past great. They have a roll of paper towels on each table. It is great. This is the place you want to be. read more

Amazing food right off 95. Serious comfort food. It's all-you-can-eat buffet-style so you pay first and fill up your styrofoam plate with goodness. The fried chicken, fried okra, hush puppies and cole slaw are an absolute must. For dessert the banana pudding hits the spot. Oh and my god the SWEET TEA. It was quick, easy, homemade and fresh. It's only open Thursday through Saturday so keep that in mind. A true gem off 95. read more

Duke's BBQ - Duke's BBQ Ridgeland, SC Right off 95 - Southern Near Me - Ridgeland, South Carolina

Went in for a late lunch today. Almost didn't stop because the hours on the sign need to be updated, but boy was I glad we did. The buffet was loaded with southern vegetable dishes and salads. The meats were pulled pork, of course, fried chicken and hash. They have ribs after 5:00. The pork had plenty of outside brown and was very tasty, although light on the smoke. The hash was a little on the sweet side for me, but a shot of Texas Pete fixed it right up. The fried chicken was great. The vegetables were all good. The lady behind the buffet was friendly as could be. The place was clean and unpretentious. We stuffed ourselves silly and waddled out happy. read more

Flies, sticky tables, still waiting for two sandwiches we can see but don't have. Horrible. Update: got the sandwiches, not too bad, but...yellow barbecue sauce? Whaaaaat? read more

I totally love this place and have nothing bad to say about it it's a great stop off 95 and try the peach cobbler

Delicious!!!! Driving down to Florida and we were looking for someplace we could eat outside with our dog. They have table and chairs outside and are happy to let you come in and out to eat. Everything we tried was amazing - from the pork to the Mac and cheese to the hush puppies. Everything is made on site and worth the detour off of 95. Would defi jtely recommend!!! read more

$8.16 all you can eat! And it was the absolutely the best southern meal... It made the drive from Jersey to Florida worth it. It was so good we planned our return trip so that we got to Duke's around supper time. And remember save room for dessert! My fav's... Pulled pork, mac & cheese, fried okra, hush puppies, fried chicken (the best I've ever had!) and the desserts. The banana pudding and peach cobbler were the unreal. read more

Stumbled upon this on our way from Charleston to Savannah for a late 3pm lunch. There was a sign on the highway and it got pretty good review from Yelp. The place looked tired and I did not have much expectation. $10 total for a buffet including drink and dessert. While I did not like some of the items but the following were very good: - fried chicken (5 stars), steamy hot, juicy and crispy - hush puppies (4 stars), yummy crunchy crust and soft inside - sweet tea (4 stars), strong flavor and not too sweet - fried okra (4 stars), tasty - peach cobbler (4 stars), warm with a nice crunchy top) It was nice that they put out fresh fried chicken, hush puppy, a new tray of peach cobbler for us. There was a loaf of white bread on the table. They even accept credit card. The bathroom needs update but is big and clean. We were happy and full. read more

On our way from Tybee Island back home to NC we stopped at Ridgeland looking for a late breakfast. Disappointed we couldn't find anything we decided to stop at Duke's thinking this would be just another southern BBQ joint. Our expectations were far surpassed. We all enjoyed the buffet which had all the staples of a southern home cooked meal. Every item well seasoned and cooked just right. read more

We stopped here bc i was hungry and bc i had to pee, sorry just being honest!!! I have a bunch of food allergies so i cant always eat the comfort food i want... Which was everything in this place!!! So we walked in, we were NOT in NoVA any more Toto!!! Funny thing is, they knew it before we did...!!! I didnt catch on until we were half way through the restaurant, almost everyone was staring... Lol yep we stuck out!! I had on a fabric skirt and light sweatshirt, hubby was wearing something light too (winter time, 40 degrees out)... We looked like we were ready for the beach, or just came from one, and they were all sporting heavy jackets! Lol once you smiled and said hello... Everyone went back to business... SUPER friendly people down here!!!! After looking over the buffet several times all i could safely eat was the pork... OMJ!!!! He has blessed the hands of whoever cooks that meat and makes the bbq sauce!!! The woman at the register was patient with all of my ingredient questions and the line that i built up never once grumbled at how long it took us...!!! Many were up and in line for seconds or thirds!!! Again, super nice community!!!! After taking off with our treasure, we started to go and it wasn't till after i realized what id found!! i asked to go back and get more... If we weren't on the highway he would have gone back... It really was that good!!!! read more

We were traveling on 95 with our 3 small children and stopped here. Best food ever!!! Hush puppies were amazing and they had creamed corn! read more

This was a great stop. $10 for an all you can eat BBQ buffet. The pulled pork was great, as were the beans and fried chicken. Several types of BBQ sauce are available, and a variety of sides, fixins and desserts. A little off the highway, but worth the trip and definitely better than the fast food alternative. Hit up Duke's, you'll be glad you did! read more

It was really good. Despite being a buffet everything was fresh and tasted home made. Only $11 with drink.

Wow o wow this place is a secret that we sure glad we found!!! My lady and I were traveling back to the moose lodge when we were hungry and craving some good ole BBQ. when pulling in the place was packed out and we knew we found the right place. 11$ a person for a buffet that the god lord blessed what a steal. The fried chicken was easily the best we ever had and the bbq was unreal with a great sauce. this was a place where you knew it was made with love and it seemed like the whole sunday church family was there and everyone knew everyone. even the preacher was there. this place is gonna be always craving for us and might be worth the 3 plus hour drive. a must stop on 95!! asap. read more

After four days in Orlando we were CRAVING good ole home cooking. We just happened across this place on our way back to N.C. (thanks apple maps). The food was wonderful! Lima beans, yams, mashed potatoes, okra, creamed corn, best fried chicken ever... all homemade just like home. If you are remotely close on a Sunday the Sunday buffet is a must!!! read more

$10/head all you can eat. Only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday. This is deep southern rooted food. The hash is a must try. The pulled pork & ribs were a bit dry and lacked smoke flavor. Fried chicken is worth the trip alone, some of the best I've had. Hush puppies are excellent as well. Don't let the shack like appearance deter you, southern hospitality is as alive as ever. read more
