    Wings - 6 Comes with two hush puppies and Bama Sauce. Very good.
    Edward P.

    Holt Bros BBQ has about three locations in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina and the barbecue is quite consistent between all of them. They are all casual restaurants where you order at the counter, take a seat a wait a couple of minutes for your meal to be brought to the table. They do have outside seating available at all of their locations in addition to their indoor tables. The barbecue itself is quiet good. In South Carolina if you ask for "barbecue" it means pulled pork and Holt Bros does it right. Not chopped pork. Granted there are places in both Carolinas, mostly North Carolina, that chop their pork. Well, they are wrong. That just creates a tasteless mess. The correct way is tender, smoky, strips of juicy pork on either a plate with some sides or piled high on a bun or bread with some slaw. Holts does it the right way. They also offer a wide variety of BBQ sauce based on your taste. In the eastern areas of South Carolina, spicy vinegar based sauce is kept no but they also offer sweet ketchup based sauce and mustard based or gold sauce. All are good. Oddly enough, when I came here with one of my vendors, I had already eaten a lunch that my wife was kind enough to pack for me that morning so I only ordered a few wings but wow were they good. Holt Bros smokes their wings and gives you a side of Bama White Sauce (Roll Tide). Absolutely delicious. You definitely can't go wrong picking this place if you're looking for a good place for some barbecue while you are in the Darlington area.

    While passing through Darlington today decided to stop at Holt Bros BBQ. Decided on a 5 rib plate with fried Okra and hushpuppies. The ribs were some of the best I have ever eaten. The Okra was cooked to perfection and the hushpuppies were also very good.I am surprised at some of the reviews but what I got today will lead me back here again in the future.

    Dear g-d in heaven, thank you. Lunch for 2, under $30. Entire roll of towels on table. Big sloppy delicious mess. Licked my fingers many times. We tried all the sauces, and enjoyed them. Best meal so far on the road (three days). Keep up the good work!

    The brisket is good. The sauces are all vinegar based and liquidly. I wish they had some that are the thick bbq sauces.

    Very good barbecue and ribs. Not a big fan of their sides. Wish there were more vegetable sides available.

    We got the crab cake platter, blackened catfish platter, honey pecan chicken roll, crab cake…read moresandwich, and the white russian pecan pie. After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

    Wow, REALLY good! Catfish Dinner Plate: excellent fish was…read moretasty and light. Rice was nice. Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!
