    This place is literally in the middle of nowhere but we saw it on the way back to our hotel from a wedding and decided to stop and get some to go plates before they closed. The lady who helped us was the sweetest! She helped us look through the menu and take our order and when our food was ready, she brought it out to us while we waited in the car because it was cold ! And she told my bf that she didn't know where we went (because we were still dressed in our wedding guest attire lol) but she said we looked so good together. lol she was so sweet. I got the dark meet bbq chicken and it tasted very lemon peppery which wasn't bad. The chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. I also got green beans, sweet potato soufflé and fried corn. Everything was cooked well, the sweet potatoes had like brown sugar cinnamon something on it and made it really sweet but it was toasty at top so gave it a nice crunch. The corn was so good but I do hate cob cuz it gets stuck in my teeth. If I'm ever around, I'd def go again.

    Food is always so good! Came down to spend the day in Hartsville/Darlington and went to this jewel that is in the middle of nowhere. The waitresses are always so kind. Sitting on the back deck you can see the lake, it is so nice. Always feel at home here. The sweet potato pie and the greens are the best!

    Great atmosphere, clean, nice waitress, food was very good. You pay next door in the attached General Store on your way out.

    I was on a 2 week vacation back to the Carolinas in September and made a few BBQ stops , 5 to be exact . I grew up in Bennettsville , S.C. , but now live in Las Vegas , Nevada . I have also lived in Texas so I an well versed in regional BBQ . For Pulled Pork it's got to be Carolina style . Las Vegas has exploded with BBQ places and I have tried most of them . They tend to be more Texas style which is great for Brisket and Hot Links . I was driving back to Charlotte for my plane that night , so I only had time to get a quick Pulled Pork Sandwich and Sweet Tea . I would have loved to do the buffet , but I had to hit the road . I have had friends post pictures on Facebook about this place that live in the Bennettsville / Marlboro County area , so I had to give it a try . The sandwich was good and the slaw on it made it perfect . I really liked the atmosphere and the general store . Great outdoor setting with rockers . The service was good and friendly . Now I have to do my ratings . I ate at 5 BBQ places on my 2 week trip home to the Carolinas in September and I have to give Number #1 to Smithfield's in Laurinburg , N.C, , but only by a small margin . Number #2 Scott's in Hemmingway was so tender and sauce with just the right kick Number #3 would be Shuler's which has a very nice facility and spot on sandwich . Number #4 would be Stanton's Fly In Barbecue and Fish Camp , which is in my hometown of Bennettsville , S.C. and has a runway for small planes and helicopters to land there , which is pretty cool . Number #5 Fat Buddies in Waynesville , N.C. which had a cool decor , but nothing special about the food .

    Can't beat these prices! Very reasonable.

    Another good vacation on the road lunch. Your Yelp reviews were plentiful and star-filled so we took another chance and it was all (mostly) good! The best bet is to go for the buffet and I did not see anyone not get it. Very reasonable at $9.50 a person which includes your drink and dessert. I'll start with dessert - banana pudding. Period. There are a few other choices but don't bother. So good. The buffet has about 20-30 items including rice, fried okra, corn on the cob, Mac and cheese, mild and regular pulled pork, fried chicken, green beans, coleslaw, and a bunch of other good things. The staff was quick in replacing and adding to the items that ran out. One thing that my wife did not realize in reading some reviews that that this is a vinegar-based bbq joint. When she tried her serving, it was a big no bueno. Kid and I liked it, though, but I do prefer the non-vinegar base better. As someone else mentioned, if vinegar is not your thing, don't come here. My wife says, "I've finally found a food I won't eat; vinegar based pulled pork." What was even better than the bbq was the fried chicken. Light batter and crunchy, and quickly devoured. Even got seconds of it. Green beans were awesome. Like a Cracker Barrel, this place makes you exit out a different door right into a 10' walkway to the "General Store." We detoured into the parking lot to continue our trip but a look through the door revealed a take-home bakery in addition to the tchotchkes. $32 for three buffets. Includes drink and dessert, but add your tip! Service was quick, efficient, and friendly.

We've…read morepassed Michael D'z BBQ every time on our way to and from Bucees in Florence, SC and every time we say 'next time we're stopping there'. Well today, 4 years later of saying that, we stopped. It's a small 'food truck' (but it doesn't move from this spot), and I believe the smoker in the front is where eveything is made. The smell is unmistakeable and you can take it to go or eat inside a covered area that has booths and even a pool table. They sell farm fresh eggs and other various produce, flavored honeys and bottle of bbq sauce. What we ordered.. 1/2 rack ribs - don't even know where to start with how tender, fall of the bone the ribs were, with a perfectly spicy bbq sauce 1/2 lb sliced brisket - this is their best seller and my lord, I entirely understand why 1/2 chicken - hubs loves chicken and this was like a mutant because it was gigantic and not overly smokey, but just right dipped in the rib sauce A small container of potato salad - had I known how truly delicious this was going to be, I'd definitely have gone bigger. Next time!! It was a tad sweet but balanced perfectly with relish. I have no problem traveling for quality.. this spot is about 1.5 hours away from Myrtle beach where we stay, and worth every minute of the drive. Best of all, I got to meet Mike!! He's a southern gentleman, a blast to chat with and I cant wait to go back. If you're traveling south on 95 through SC, it's a couple miles off the Bucees exit, I suggest you take the detour and give it a try!!!!

I had the pulled chicken platter with lima beans and corn, plus a side of fried okra. Anjelina had the small pulled pork platter with slaw and the lima beans and corn. The food was DELICIOUS. Both the pulled chicken and pulled pork were tender, well cooked and full of flavor. The sauces were particularly good. The Kansas City style was sweet and savory, while the Carolina mustard sauce was tangy with just enough kick. Both were excellent with the barbecue. As usual, dining out for us requires a little more homework than simply deciding what sounds good. Between the two of us, we bring a tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal syndrome, a gluten allergy and dairy sensitivity to the table -- with diabetes thrown in as the kicker, just in case ordering dinner was getting too easy. Our waiter seemed to genuinely understand the allergy issues and was confident in the restaurant's ability to accommodate them. He was friendly, helpful and made us comfortable with our choices. When you're dealing with actual food allergies, that confidence and knowledge matter. The dining room was spacious, clean and had a good casual barbecue atmosphere. There was also a live band playing while we were there, which we weren't expecting but ended up really enjoying. They were good, although the music made things a little loud. Wholly Smokin' works well for a casual date, getting together with friends or just a good everyday meal. I'd also be comfortable using it for a casual business lunch or dinner, although the live music could make conversation more difficult depending on when you visit. Good barbecue, excellent sauces, friendly service and a positive experience navigating our somewhat ridiculous collection of dietary restrictions. We'd happily eat here again.

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!

The only highlight if you could call it that was the mac and cheese which was decent. How this place rates four stars I have absolutely no idea more like one and a half stars. As for the service our food was brought to us fairly quickly which was nice but we should have been informed that they were out of components for making some of the food which would have altered our menu selections. Clearly at some point this was a bar that had closed down and has now been reopened as a barbecue restaurant the decor is fairly simple and casual if not rustic. Overall a huge disappointment.
