We had a really good lunch at Midwood Smokehouse in Columbia. It's located at the end of a small…read moreshopping center that also has Whole Foods, and the area itself is nice. The restaurant is medium-sized with a small patio of about six tables. It was a beautiful day, so we chose to sit outside since the dining room was a bit loud. It took a couple of minutes for a host to seat us, but we did arrive during peak lunchtime on a Monday, so it wasn't a big deal. Once seated, our server, Seavy, was fantastic. He was very attentive, friendly, and had a great personality. I ordered the brisket plate, my husband had the half chicken, and the third person in our party ordered the brisket sandwich. My brisket was fantastic--very moist and a generous portion. The hush puppies were tiny but crispy and delicious, and the bacon-wrapped jalapeños were outstanding. My husband really enjoyed his chicken, which was also moist, along with the collards and coleslaw. The brisket sandwich was huge and came with coleslaw and a side of mac & cheese, and everything was very good. What stood out most was the portion size and the quality of the food for the price. Overall, we had a great meal and would definitely come back.

The gumbo was hearty full of meats and shrimp and a nice kick of spice/heat to it that was just right! The greens and green beans were both seasoned well. Mac and cheese was on point too. We also tried the red velvet cake which was super sweet but every bite was delicious and worth it. We called in our order and it was ready when we arrived, everyone working inside was very polite being it was our first time we had a few questions about the menu and they were happy to help. It's a carry out place only no seating area. I will definitely be going back and hopefully I'll remember to get the pics of my food.

They are conveniently near my daughter's dance school so I always make sure to grab some when I'm craving before they close at 6. I also love brisket but it can be a hit or miss there.

We have a favorite spot but we're closer to Mission bbq and figured we'd try something new. I will say service was friendly however price to ratio here is not worth it. There's other places where you pay the same and just get more for your money. I went with the brisket sandwich which was good but does not come with sides, two of my kids got burgers and added a side of fries and Mac and cheese, one liked the burger one liked the Mac and cheese, the fries were good as well. My oldest went with a two meat platter and added some Mac and cheese- all around besides the 6 year old they said portions were small but good. The strawberry shortcake was ok kids were happy with it. Good experience but would not go back.

Wow! My cousin recommended this BBQ joint to us. It is a franchised place. It was quite crowded,…read morebut a good crowded. It was a revolving door of customers coming in to order, sit down, eat and go. Plenty of tables and a lot of space for large parties. We ordered the smash burger with 2 sides, pull chicken with two sides being fries and baked beans and my hubby ordered the sampler which I forgot to take a pic. It came with the best CORNBREAD we ever tasted in a restaurant! We wanted to ordered a box to go but it is not an optional side to take out. We will have to come back.

Competition Quality-meat came easily off the bone but didn't fall off the bone. I had 2 slices of brisket and we shared Hush Puppies and their Mac and Cheese. Driving up you see the smoke from the smoking pit and you know from the smell, you made a good choice. Nothing fancy here- inside eating is very casual. They do a high volume of to go orders. This is a family run business and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They seem very organized and gave a system in place for the pick up business that seemed to work well for them. The owners (I believe husband/wife) both came out and checked on us. We spoke for a little bit with each one. We felt welcomed and appreciated. OMG! I would've loved to share a slice of one of those triple layer cakes. Slices were extra generous but we were already taking home some brisket and Mac &Cheese. We will definitely come here again if we have to return for more tests

Paid right away, I think it's around $15 which includes all you can eat, dessert and drink. Cashier automatically gave me a senior discount. Excellent pulled pork BBQ, in 3 or 4 different styles/ flavors. My favorite was the smoked whole hog where you pull off what you want. Everything was fresh and delicious. Top of the line all you can eat BBQ for South Carolina and I can't think of any BBQ that beats the price. Plenty of seating and it was not too loud. We were able to carry on great conversation. Highly recommend. Sign out front said they have been serving BBQ for over 60 years.

BBQ Buffet!? Doc's…read moreBBQ is a must stop for anyone that's into BBQ with a big appetite. The setup here is buffet style all you can eat BBQ and side. YES! All you can eat. What an amazing concept. I can say that the food quality is pretty awesome especially considering the buffet style restaurant. I've been twice now and both times the food was awesome and they don't pull back on anything here. The only issue is they do have some weird hours but for what you get and how they do things it's totally worth a trip during lunch. I highly recommend hitting this spot if you're a fan of BBQ and have ever felt like you didn't here get enough of your favorite BBQ dishes.

Well, at $14.50 back then for the buffet, I thought I was in heaven. A huge array of choices that will induce the heart attack I was looking for. Price has obviously gone up a tick, but it's still a great deal imho. Since the restaurant was super busy, everything felt extremely fresh. As for mains, I guess I enjoyed the fried chicken a lot since I keep refilling ny plate with it. I also tried a little bit of everything else, including the bbq pulled pork, fried catfish nuggets, and meatloaf (Tuesday special). They were all good. As for sides, there were plenty to choose from. All the southern staples are here, like mac & cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, potato salad, hush puppies, etc. Don't forget to get some desserts too. I like their peach cobbler. A place like this can only survive in the south. I wish we had something remotely resembling Doc's back in NYC, but it'll never work. I'll just have to visit the south more often for gems like these.
