For the Tasty Crab Special (1/2 lb shrimp, 1 snow crab cluster, lobster tail, 2 ears of corn, 2 potatoes, 2 eggs) and added 1/2 lb of sausage. It was too much food for me, and I knew it would be but I always want to try everything at these places. I had it Cajun sliced to mild. Food came out fast and service was friendly. The seafood was nicely cooked, even the lobster tail which is often overcooked at these places. The potatoes and corn were overcooked but I don't care too much about that Cajun spice was good. I'm still not the biggest fan of seafood boil, I really prefer steamed, but that is a personal preference. As far as boil goes, this is one of the better ones I have had. Inside it isn't much, but there's some real personality from all of the writing on the walls. But let's be honest you come to one of these places to chow down on seafood while wearing a plastic bin and vinyl gloves, it isn't a place you come to in your Sunday best. I felt the love was on point and fair for the food I got and compared to similar places in the area. J.Ja

Now THIS is what I was looking for when I wanted great BBQ!…read more 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!

Duke's BBQ in Ridgeville is one of many loosely connected, family-owned Duke's locations across…read moreSouth Carolina, and while this style of food and establishment is clearly popular in the South, it's not somewhere I'd personally recommend--unless I were with others who were specifically craving this type of experience. My first impression was less than favorable. We went here on a Friday early evening. The restaurant is housed in an old building and feels dark and dingy inside. The eating area could really use a serious makeover while still preserving its "indoor family picnic" vibe, complete with long communal tables. Overall cleanliness leaves much to be desired: streaky glass covered in fingerprints, stained tables, floors, and walls from years of use, greasy surfaces, and a bathroom that could benefit from a deep clean. The setup is cafeteria-style: you line up, pay, grab one or two Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils wrapped in plastic--there's essentially zero consideration for the environment. The self-serve buffet bar is awkwardly laid out, with no visible hand-sanitizing options. Staff behind the counter were also preparing Styrofoam to-go orders; some wore gloves, others didn't, and some handled cash and served food simultaneously. Toward the end of the line is the beverage station with Styrofoam cups offering ultra-sweet tea, unsweet tea, and lemonade (all tasted made from powder). The final stop is a selection of sauces in squeeze bottles that were uncomfortably sticky and greasy to the touch. As for the food: it was mediocre overall--very salty, bland, and lacking depth or spice. The offerings leaned heavily on Southern carbs like mac and cheese, rutabaga, sweet potato, and white rice, alongside deep-fried items such as hush puppies, okra, and chicken. The BBQ itself was average at best, noticeably dry and missing any real smoke flavor. Desserts consisted of bread-based cobblers, which were among the worst I've tried: bland, dry, and unremarkable. On the positive side, the staff were genuinely nice, welcoming, and clearly working hard to keep up with a steady flow of phone and in-person orders. Parking is free and easy, with on-street and gravel/grassy options. An unexpected highlight was watching a train fly past nearby, horn blaring and lights flashing. At around $14 per person, the price felt appropriate for what was offered. One important note: this is not a wheelchair-accessible space, as there is no ramp and a couple of steps at the entrance. Overall, while Duke's BBQ Ridgeville may appeal to longtime fans of this style of Southern buffet, it's not a place I'd choose again unless accompanying others who were specifically craving it. :::
