Amazing food Waited about 10 maybe 15 minutes after ordering the family deal for our food. The whole way home the aroma filled our car and the ur mouths were watering. Finallllly got it home and it was more than delicious- it was amazing. We will definitely be back! My family (2 adults and 4 kids -9,6,2&6m) ate dinner and my husband and I had lunch leftovers. Probably enough for a family of 4-6 for dinner with the family deal which is about $35 with tax. read more

Ronnies Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Elgin, South Carolina

The ribs aren't as tender as I like, but the sauce is amazing and so are all the sides. It's definitely a full Plate when you walk away with your meal and if you just get a BBQ sandwich, you'll still be stuffed because they're HUGE!! read more

A local favorite. The owner is always friendly and well loved in the community. The food is always fresh and consistent in quality.

Ronnie's ribs will make you wanna slap somebody's momma but don't slap mine she might get ya back. This Rib shack is a no frills outdoor seating only or eat on your pick up trucks tailgate. I opted for the rib sand which this visit and it hit the spot after a long day fishing. The sauce is tangy and goes great with succulent ribs that were fall off the bone good. The pulled pork sand which is nicely done cooked just right not to dry. I took a picture of the updated menu different from the website prices but same items. So hopefully it will help my fellow Yelpers plan there visits and watch their waistlines a week before hand because you undoubtedly eat way to much BBQ ! The place is right downtown Elgin with only one stop light you can't miss it if you tried open Fridays and Saturdays only to my knowledge. read more

The most amazing ribs and the burnt ends were great! Definitely recommend. The sauce is tasty too.

Excellent ribs. Makes for great take out. We love this place! The sides are great too.

The women cashier was NOT friendly, and seemed to rush us thru the ordering process. After checking our order in car, they left out a couple of items, and we had to wait for it to be prepared. Orders should be checked for accuracy BEFORE giving to customer. read more

Mouth-watering greatness. You'll notice the building is small and unpretentious. The people here devote themselves to nothing but being the best -- and if you're a devotee of great barbecue, that will probably matter more than the fact that the building only accommodates the kitchen and the outdoor dining space is limited. For most people, this isn't a stop-and-eat place, it's a pick up and go place, but once you get home you won't be disappointed. For many years, Elgin was known far and wide as the home of the great Hammy's Barbecue, which used to be located across the street. When Hammy sadly closed up shop, it left a great void in Elgin, but Ronnie quickly took up the slack. He doesn't have the place for a full buffet as Hammy's did, but the food is every bit as tasty and tender. read more

Ronnies Ribs - My boy ready to get his "bones" aka ribs. - Barbeque Near Me - Elgin, South Carolina

Best ribs I've ever had! A slab of their ribs can feed several and their bbq sauce is wonderful. I've always been a strict mustard based bbq girl but his vinegar sauce is a must have. read more

It's everything you would want in a local bbq place. Owners name is the place, little seating, and watching the smokers roll smoke. Couldn't ask for a better rack of ribs. The brisket sandwich is also amazing. I go every chance I get. read more

Got to-go food for Memorial Day and it was amazing. It was easy to place the order and was hot and fresh when we picked it up. Super nice people. read more

The food is amazing and the owner and staff are so friendly! Sauces are delicious and the BBQ and ribs melt in your mouth!

Love the Baby back ribs here. Sides? (Meh). The sauce that they provide on the side of the ribs is incredible. My husband enjoys Memphis style ribs. I enjoy the baby back ribs. I still think I choose the best ones! Everyone there is friendly and the service is very fast. I highly recommend this rib place. If you see a line, do not be discouraged. Everything moves along quickly! read more

Baby back ribs are really good. The BBQ sauce is the BOMB. The wings were burnt. And the sides were not that great.

If your sign says open be open... consistency is key. I waited all week to eat here only to find the tiny red shack closed even though the sign and yelp page clearly states they are open. Huge disappoint. Their loss my gain. I ended up at a competitor location and had a fantastic barbeque meal. Doubt I would waste my time driving back to ronnies...not worth it at all. read more

So glad y'all are back - the community missed you!! We had to wait til the lines died down before we could get in - ribs still the BEST in Elgin!! read more

Ronnie's surpasses any other BBQ & Ribs found in the Columbia area. The prices and portions are excellent. They offer delivery through Kershaw2Go app. Food is prompt and delicious. Ribs are so tender with the meat delicious & falling off the bones. Ribs are my favorite. I've eaten ribs offered by other BBQ places and at various restaurants that have ribs on the menu. Ronnies is superior. Hash, pulled pork, turkey wings...all excellent. They have fine tuned their BBQ skills. Your taste buds are in for a real delightful BBQ treat. Highly recommend them for the best BBQ ever. read more

I was definitely in the mood for some good BBQ so I sent my husband out to get some. He went through Yelp and found Ronnie's Ribs. Well he brought home a huge container full of nice hot ribs. He also brought some pulled pork, rice and hash, beans, and coleslaw. It was really good! I spent about an hour pigging out on the food. I really enjoyed the ribs and the pulled pork were my favorite. They sent home extra sauce, but I really didn't need it. The rice and hash was also good, but not my favorite. Beans and slaw were average but that's not what I was craving anyway. I think this place is worth the trip to get some good meaty ribs. read more

Well Ronnie's has done it again and they've done it oh-so-right. Five stars for this place and their can't-be-beat ribs! I opted for the rib sandwich for $7.50, wondering what to expect. What I got was far less sandwich and more massive combo for a caveman's appetite. Within the Styrofoam package, two untainted pieces of white bread lay atop a sheet of wax paper. Oh readers, it was below the bread and wax paper betwixt the splendidly prepared meat that I found a passion for grilling exemplified. My hands started to shake as I coaxed the charred-to-perfection goodness from the bone, doing my best to place what I could on a piece of bread.(....)

Great food. Great service and GREAT PEOPLE here!! Great business for the community. I wish Ronnie's was open all week

She said..."Amazing ribs, pulled pork and beans. I've only eaten here once so far because we live out of town, but the food is amazing and I will definitely eat here again. Yummy!!" He said..."Wow thank you Elgin, SC for giving us good BBQ ribs. This is the typical South Carolina roadside rib joint only opened a few hours. If you are on I-20 take the 15 minute detour because it is worth it. The ribs are cooked perfect not a lot of bone shine and the meat just falls off the bones....nom nom...give me some now!" read more

Excellent ribs, delicious pulled pork, and delicious hash over rice. Everything I've tried from here has been fantastic. The only complaint I have is that they're only open Fridays and Saturdays. Otherwise, if you're looking for some delicious SC barbecue, look no further. read more

Just went here from a recommendation. It had to be the best ribs I have had. The sauce is very good!!! read more

This is the place for awesome BBQ food. The ribs, bbq, and the hash and rice were amazing. The beans were good.

The best food and service in Elgin! I highly recommend this place and don't forget to try the ribs.

They have re-opened! Staff wear masks and encourage social distancing when waiting in line. I was a first-time customer and ordered their baby back ribs. They were finger-licking good. Tender, smoky, and flavorful! I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Awesome food and the owner is always about helping his community and the fine folks that serve it!!!!

A family run restaurant that serves up good food made with love. They offer ribs, bbq meat, hash and rice with all the fixings. They keep it simple, fresh and delicious. Loved by locals (you can tell by the lines) and first timers alike. I will be returning. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday for lunch and dinner. Take out only. read more

Ronnie's is the quintessential Southern BBQ shack. Orders are placed at an outside window and they'll call you when your foods up. There is no indoor seating, but they do provide a shaded picnic table outside for you to savor their scrumptious Q. The pulled pork is tender and moist with a light smoky flavor. The sauce is a take on the Carolina mustard base, perfectly balanced with just a bit more tang than sweet that leaves a slight warmth on the back of the throat. The dry-rubbed ribs were just a tad drier than I prefer but this could be due to just a slight variation in cooking. Still, they were meaty and tender and when slathered with Ronnie's sauce it didn't really make much difference. I try every BBQ place I can and up to now I place Ronnie's in SC's top ten. read more

Ok, so living in Texas, I'm used to BBQ revolving around brisket, with pork and other meats taking a back seat. That's why I enjoy traveling around the US taking in ribs, pulled pork and chicken in various locations. So, since I found myself in Lugoff with my mom from NJ and with lunchtime having passed I searched Yelp for an option. Lucky me, Ronnie's Ribs popped up a mere 10 minutes away from where I was. We arrived at a small red building with a group of smokers out back and a lone picnic table. I looked around the side and asked the 3 men at the pits what the speciality was, the response back "all of it". I chatted with one of the men for a minute and he suggested the sampler for us to split. It turned out to be a generous order of pork, ribs and hash, along with beans, slaw and bread. This was some fantastic BBQ. The ribs were well smoked and tender and the pulled pork, with its hybrid mustard sauce (did not taste like most of the ones I have had, but don't hold me that as its not my specialty, but make no mistake that was one mean sauce) was delicious. The highlight of the meal though was being able to sit down with Ronnie, at that lone picnic table and chat about BBQ, railroads and family for 30 minutes while we enjoyed our food. This is a man who does both BBQ and family right and it was a pleasure to make his acquaintance. In short - Ronnie's will not disappoint! read more

Just had the ribs. First I got a sandwich, then the second visit I got a slab. We're going back and I'm going to attempt to get something else, but I don't know how successful I'll be. Nice tangy sauce, sort of yellow-ish, but you get a better taste blend than some other mustard based sauces. The tender meat comes off the bone so easily you could really eat the ribs with a knife and fork, if you felt the need to put on airs or show off. The menu is in one of the photos. Went back and had the grilled/smoked chicken. Very tasty. Thursday special is a whole slab for about $20 and some change. read more

Try the barbecue sandwich with coleslaw. Great barbecue with friendly and fast service. Not really a sitdown place, but can't beat the takeout when it comes to your classic pulled pork sandwich! read more

So while doing my two weeks for the reserve. I was staying with a friend and I was starving. So I used my trusty Yelp app and found this place. I went and check them out and I'm so happy I did. OMG the food is soooooooooooooooo good. I got the rib dinner and I almost cried. I haven't had BBQ that good since I was a kid. The hash and rice had me begging for more. So every time I play army I try to make way back to the them. I got my wife jealous about food and she hasn't tried them yet. If you are in the area you must go. Do it now. read more

Was there a few times. Yes i had to wait but the food was worth it and service was good too. Anyone like barbeque this the place to try great food. read more

Awww I'm so in love with this place..... food is great

I ordered the small barbecue plate. Good barbecue, hash and rice. The beans seemed like they were straight from a can. Not a very long wait and got plenty of food with our order. You couldn't tell the difference between the small plate and the large plate. So not sure why the price difference! read more

I love Ronnie's ribs and pulled chicken. The sauce is amazing too. I treat all my visiting friends and family to Ronnie's ribs and all recommend it highly! If it's a holiday weekend, go early - the person in front of me got the last rack of ribs at 3pm on Memorial Day weekend!!! read more
