The order was ready fast. The brisket was dry and the coleslaw tasted like it was ruined. Didn't have a barbecue sauce I liked personally, the options they had available were too spicy for me. Paid 60 dollars and was not impressed. Deserts tasted stale

Smoked chicken.
Pierre B.

Clean place, friendly and fast service. I ordered smoked chicken with a side of collards (it came with cornbread too). The cornbread was excellent. The collards were made from fresh greens rather than a can, however I felt like $5 was too much given the small portion and they were kind of plain. The portion of chicken also seemed small and could have used a little more flavor. The sauces provided were good. The tray you see here was $15 including a drink, not in photo.

Sign on the building
Reenie D.

Yup, this is a good one! Located on Rte 170 in S.C. An owner- operated bbq place with friendly staff. Owner was smoking meat out back and came over to say hi. Clean diner style. You order and prepay at the counter. Pulled pork was moist and flavorful. Mac'n Cheese real good comfort food. I recommend you try all the sauces-they're on the table. My favorite was the house's signature cherry sauce. I dove right into my meal so I forgot a picture, so I took one of the building sign!

Smoked, pulled chicken
Laura P.

Southern hospitality found here with country music filling the air waves! The wood pile and smoking pit in back of the restaurant indicate legit smoked BBQ. The interior is open, natural light filled space with comfy booths lining the exterior walls. Plenty of choices on their menu with pulled pork, pulled chicken and ribs rounding out the BBQ. Sauces are homemade including sweet Cherry, yellow mustard, Carolina vinegar, spicy red, and about 10 sides to choose from. Want to wash down your BBQ with beer? They have that, too: domestic-$2.50, import -$3.50, and specialty -$3.50. If vino is your preference they have Rose, white and red @ $6. Tonight we ordered pulled pork and pulled chicken, To Go, to eat with fresh vegetables we had prepared at home. Both the pork and chicken were delicious, Smokey, and moist! Also, the banana pudding was as tasty as the other Yelp reviewers testified! We look forward to returning when in the area!

SUPER menu & homemade food. It is evident that care is taken preparing all food. Meat is always tender and flavorful with or without sauce. Sides are not an afterthought. They are really good. Ambiance is diner-style but comfortable. Service is on point.

I had the best dirty rice I've ever had in my life, and their turkey wings were perfectly seasoned,…read moretender, and delicious. The ordering process is straight forward with a ticket numbering system, and if you're waiting outside it's announced over a loudspeaker. The interior is only for ordering but there are picnic tables out front. This is right off of the interstate, and officially a landmark for me to visit when near Savannah.

Omg! Omg! My husband and I travel to Savannah, Ga at least twice a year. So…read moremy coworker told me about this spot to check out if I wanted some good ole Soul Food. It's along the way in Hardeeville, SC This spot is nothing fancy and can look a lil sketchy, but whew chile it has some good eats and friendly staffers. One thing I have come to realize is that most gas stations and food places in the same parking lot have GOOD food . Now slow down when driving or you will definitely miss the turn for it. I ordered the 2 piece with fried okra and it comes a soft roll. The menu is Southern so don't be afraid of the grease! I didn't take a pic because I was so hyped up on how perfectly crisp my food was, but I will be back and will take pics of my future order. Get job Chickin Lickin ! The name says it all Ooo, the food is cooked to order, so be prepared to wait about 10-15mins. IT'S WORTH THE WAIT

The waffle and BBQ (I chose brisket), and the BBQ Nachos were amazing! I *love* the Roadhouse on…read moreSavannah Hwy too, so I almost felt guilty trying this spot. However, Smokehouse at Paris Avenue is much more what you expect in a BBQ place than the upscale feel of Roadhouse. We went on a Friday night and they were fairly busy, especially with take-out. The dining room is small, and it is a counter-serve establishment, but the folks working were so friendly. One in my party was a little perturbed that we had to wait a while for our food, but the portions were large, filling, and delicious. I was curious to learn about the history of the space itself. We will be back! So good.

I went to the smokehouse with my mom and we both loved our meals. She had fried oysters, fried okra…read more& mac & cheese. I had brisket, red rice & cabbage. My mom said her oysters were really good & I did try the okra and it was delicious. My brisket was good, very juicy, tender & tasty. My red rice was some of the best I've EVER had as well as the cabbage. Another reviewer said the cabbage was overcooked and that's his opinion but in my opinion that's how southern cooked cabbage should be. I tried my mom's mac & cheese and that was also some of the best I've ever had. The next day I went back to get a to go order to take home to Summerville for my family. I ordered the brisket, ribs, red rice, mac & cheese, cabbage & coleslaw. Unfortunately my coleslaw wasn't in the bag when I got home. Their ribs are really good too, the only thing that I didn't like is that the silver skin was left on. Most places I get ribs from the silver skin is removed. All of the sides were delicious! I actually like their sides more than the bbq. Bbq is good but the sides are delicious!!
