Now THIS is what I was looking for when I wanted great BBQ! Music Man BBQ was a bit of a drive, but from the moment we walked through the door, the experience felt completely different from another BBQ restaurant we had tried while visiting the area. We were immediately greeted by a hostess and made to feel welcome. The decor is fun and full of personality, with a country music theme that makes you feel like you've wandered into a BBQ joint somewhere between Memphis and Nashville. Then we discovered the best part: it's an all-you-can-eat BBQ buffet! You pay at the register first, grab a plate, and then the fun begins. WOW! The pulled pork was moist, tender and delicious exactly how pulled pork should be. The spare ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and I especially loved the baked chicken quarters, which were juicy and perfectly cooked. And let's talk about the sides! The collard greens were on point, and adding a little hot pepper vinegar took them completely over the top. The mac and cheese was outstanding rich, comforting and absolutely worthy of a second helping, which happened! And since it's a buffet...why not? But Music Man wasn't finished with us yet. They have dessert! The bread pudding and banana pudding were spectacular. After all that BBQ, I certainly didn't need dessert, but there was no way I was leaving without trying both and I'm glad I did! This is the kind of BBQ restaurant that makes a long drive worthwhile. Great food, plenty of choices, a fun atmosphere, friendly people and excellent value for the money. Music Man BBQ was worth the drive and worth every penny. Run, don't walk you won't regret it! read more

A fellow passenger, Susan, told me about this gem while we were both waiting on a return flight to Charleston. I brought my neighbor, but unbeknownst to us they are closed on Monday and Tuesday. Well TODAY was the day. I am so glad I came. The barbecue is delicious and Gene's original sauce takes it to another level. I really, really enjoyed the bread pudding and where can you go that has pork skins on the menu! I will definitely be back. I learned a lot of history from Bobbie, my sever. This place has been here for 20 plus years! What a legacy. read more

Bbq buffet was excellent as usual, fried chicken was the special for the day and was stellar. Bread pudding for dessert was the best.

This place is very good! Great customer service. Best BBQ around!! Look forward to going back.

Music Man is still my brother-in-law's favorite BBQ, but the food used to be so much better. They used to throw out food that had been sitting for a while. Now, we need to be careful to check that the food is not past its prime. When they add new food trays, food that clearly is dried out is scooped from the old trays and put on top of the fresh food. My husband and I sometimes find it difficult to believe this is the same restaurant because Music Man has changed so much. My brother-in-law still loves Music Man. read more

Fantastic barbecue and the friendliest staff. I would give them 10 stars if it was possible.

This has been a long-standing locally owned restaurant here in Moncks corner. It's recently being renovated due to a fire, a little while back, with plenty of seating inside. The service is always fantastic here and the food is plentiful, delicious and local. The pulled pork here has three distinct flavors, mild spicy, vinegar based, and good old Carolina mustard gold. The sweet potatoes are simmered in a brown sugar base and are some of the best I've tried. Now let me tell you about the banana pudding, it is creamy, homemade, and out of this world. read more

Great buffet. Never disappoints. Been going there a long time. My go to place in Moncks Corner and now Capy's too

NEVER AGAIN--for another eight years. (we tried this place a long time ago) arrived 2/1/24 4:30pm Called in advance and was told BBQ ribs are only on Saturday, but today we have cat fish.... ok fine...but by 5:30 they were OUT of catfish and no more to be put out. (what and you only close at 8pm ) The Roasted chicken was so dry like it was moist the day before and this was just reheated up...YUK There was pulled pork and some toppings for them , but they also looked dryer than normal. The Hash , i watched , came fresh (if you call fresh out of a jar) out of 2 --large labeled jars....it was decent . But the limited selection and the QUALITY was sooooo far below our expectations that i can think of better places to spend my money. And it's not the money, raise prices if you must, but you have to improve the food quality... I WILL NOT BE BACK in my opinion i give this place minus one star read more

Amazing food! I would recommend getting the Buffett. Ordering to go food takes a long time because only one person works the phones/calls read more

While visiting South Carolina, we wanted to try some authentic barbecue. This restaurant was close to an attraction. We wanted to see. When we went. It was buffet style. They make a hash which is a local dish. It was really good as well as the mustard chopped pork. I really enjoyed their coleslaw. Employees were coming around refilling drinks and taking dirty plates. We tried the pudding for dessert and they were pretty good If you're in the area I would give it a try. read more

Music Man's BBQ - Fried chicken and hash - Barbeque Near Me - Moncks Corner, South Carolina

A true small town family owned restaurant with charming service. We stepped in after visiting Berkeley County DMV. The daughter of the owner was so friendly. She made sure we had everything we need. This is mostly a buffet style experience with daily specials on top of the BBQ. The special today chicken and dumplings were outstanding. The baked chicken was also very good and I paired it with the BBQ vinegar sauce. The southern style green beans and Lima beans were also great. The Oreo pudding and banana pudding are a treat. It's nice to run into a locally owned place where they make you feel welcome. Thank you! read more

We had lunch here and it was good. The service was friendly and it is buffet style, so you can get as much as you want to eat. The chocolate cookie pudding is very tasty. Highly recommend trying them out. read more

Great experience. Staff was very friendly and service was excellent. Food was solid. Didn't blow my socks off but it felt like moms home cooking. Amen brother. read more

I went there with the wife after doing some shopping. I had really high hopes since I heard that it had a great buffet and even better BBQ. The price was okay. Two senior buffets was a little less than thirty dollars for lunch. But then we got up to buffet, the chickens was so dry, the yams we hard as a rock, the macaroni and cheese was dry, the string beans were mush and the one thing I really hoped for was the pulled pork. They had 2 different styles, one with vinegar, and 1 with mustard. Both were mushy and had no flavor unless you put on some of their BBQ sauces to spice it up. I did enjoy the meatloaf, the sausage and onions were good also, though they were cold. I would not recommend this place at least for lunch. I might give him a try for dinner. I really wanna like the place. By the way, I am a K.C.B.S. barbecue judge for over ten years. read more

Music Man's BBQ - A barbecue plate from Music mans BBQ, baked macaronic, ham hock, hashand rice, chicken and dumplings and meat loaf - Barbeque Near Me - Moncks Corner, South Carolina

They were out of barbecue when we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday night. All that was left for meat was baked chicken, ribs that looked like they were baked or boiled and hash. I like the way the green beans and the Black Eyed Peas were cooked, but nothing else other than the hash was worth eating. I think this is the first time I gave one star. read more

The fried chicken was the best for me. Very well cooked and seasoned. I went there for bbq it was ok not the best for me

Nice little restaurant right under our nose! Start looking around for someplace new to eat and came across this place. This is a basic no thrills, great food place to eat. All kinds of "regulars" were there and the food was absolutely amazing. Unlike most buffet place the staff regularly come by to refill drinks and take up used plates. Stop on in and you will not be disappointed! read more

Music Man's BBQ - BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Moncks Corner, South Carolina

So I've been reading some of the less then stellar reviews. People complaining about the vinegar taste... It's Carolina BBQ ya dimwits! Or the person from San Fransisco. Ummm, what does San Fransisco know about BBQ? NOTHING! ZERO! ZILCH! If you are looking for a trendy BBQ Joint, this isn't the place. It is spartan at best. The staff is awesome. The food is solid. The shredded pork in the mustard based sauce was fantastic! Sure it's buffet style. Yes it's all you can eat. And for the price, it's a bargain! Locals are lucky to have this diamond in the rough in 'The Corner'. As for those passing through expecting Myron Mixon BBQ... You're idiots. Try a bit of humility. It'll go a long way in the South. Or you can just keep on driving. No one's gonna miss the attitude there. read more

I tend to judge BBQ joints by their hash. That said I love the hash at Music Man. Plus the BBQ is fantastic too. It's a buffet with great side dishes and on different days they have fried chicken or ribs or something else good. So do yourselves a favor come on and take a trip to Moncks Corner and enjoy this place!! read more

Well...like others, the place is clean and the wait staff is very nice but 93 for a family of 5 with a tip, it's definitely not worth it....the barbecue is a 7 at best, the chicken and dumplings are a 6 and the rest of the bar is a 6. The only thing that's worth it's weight is the bread pudding and the sweet tea. We were only there because my 11 yo thought it would be cheaper than California Dreaming....Nope....won't be sending that much here again! read more

Forget the name...it ain't about music. It's all about an old fashioned bbq restaurant with pulled pork and southern sides served in a building with no charm, just the honest food that you love to eat on occasion. read more

We went there today, the waitresses were nice, the building was clean but the food- ehhhh.... They didn't have fried chicken, they had fried fish that looked so soggy the skin was falling off. The vinegar based bbq was inedible, the "music man special" bbq was equally inedible. They had no brown gravy for their white crunchy rice. They had baked chicken and Mac n cheese that was both super dry. I just don't understand the hype of this place. For $15 a person it was NOT worth it. read more

Looking for a great place to grab some really good food this is your place. The service is great and they make you feel like your part of the family. All home made southern cooking at its finest. Will be back when I am in the area! read more

Bread pudding is the best thing on the menu! This is fine BBQ. Love the buffet style. A lot of cans in the kitchen, but to be expected. This is a great spot for what it is! We've been a handful of times and would go back! read more

Food was good. I would definitely go back. Has a friendly atmosphere and staff were pleasant.

Classic rural restaurant with great food and service! Fantastic sauces as well. Oreo and banana pudding were the highlights after the tastee BBQ! read more

I've heard so much about this place. I actually had a day where I can go and visit. Little mom and pop places are a rarity anymore around our area. The barbecue joints popping up are over priced and you get a tray of meat with like a side or two. The hash and rice with some of the best hash I've ever had in my life. The homemade yams were ridiculously good. All the food was seasoned to perfection. Including the vegetables. I had cabbage and green beans. The macaroni and cheese was super creamy and cheesy. We went on a Wednesday and they had chicken and dumplings on the bar. I honestly have not stopped thinking about them since. The sweet tea was southern gold. This place will definitely be in rotation. I don't think I can say one negative thing about anything I ate from the all you can eat bar. Service was exceptionally friendly and restaurant was super clean. Very homey vibe. On a sidenote... My daughter does not eat fish. She was chowing down on what she thought was chicken tenders. I grabbed a pinch and it literally melted in my mouth. She just kept going on and on about how great they were. I had to break her heart by telling her it was fish lol. At that point she was like whatever and kept on devouring them lol. read more

I had the bbq sandwich and coleslaw to go . The hostess kept me company while I waited the few minutes for my food. Pleasant experience, tasty food. read more
