Wow. What a great spot ! My family and I wanted a real BBQ experience and this place was amazing. Out server was sooooo nice and knowledgeable! I had the Big daddy (collards / green beans / smoked Turkey breast and beef brisket (I asked for a leaner cut) and it was amazing. My daughter had the beef brisket sandwich with mac and cheese / Fries which was amazing as well. Son had the hand tossed chicken fingers and my wife the kitchen sink wrap. The sauces were amazing and to top it off the Fam and I shared banana pudding pie and key like pie I can't say enough good things! Thank you for your hospitality!!!! Highly recommended.

First time visitor here and it will not be my last, I will be back , ordered the big daddy comes with two meats , two sides also hush puppies which comes with a cinnamon butter to dip. I got the quarter rack ribs and half a chicken and it was half a chicken leg wings thigh breast. I’m ashamed to say I had to bring some back to the motel I could not eat it all shout out to, our waitress her name was Emily. She was fantastic.

While on a trip to Myrtle Beach we wanted to try some South Carolina mustard-based BBQ sauce. We were recommended to try Bar-B-Que House down the road from our hotel on the beach. Their SC sauce was a revelation. The mustard vinegar combination paired with the pulled pork and fried chicken was quite tasty. In my mind it stands on its own and is probably better than NC BBQ sauce. We had the fried okra and red cole slaw which wasn't my favorite but an interesting take. If you are in the area looking for some good BBQ then check this place out.

First time here. Server was very kind and had great recommendations. Went on a Tuesday so I got the special taco combo plate and the wife ordered ribs. Both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and thought everything was delicious. Restaurant was neat and clean. Workers were kind. Food was delicious. Reasonably priced as well. We had great portions and thought everything was great. Highly recommend.

The best BBQ hands down! You get big portions of food at reasonable prices. We eat here every time we go to Myrtle Beach. They have 2 locations and we've ate at both and they are both worth trying. Service is great also We just left from Surfside beach and ate here again. It was as delicious as always! Can’t recommend this place enough!

Remarkably good BBQ, not just for a vacation town, but in general. I live about 10 minutes from here and regret not trying it for years. If you read nothing else, just go visit this place, it’s worth it. I’ve been all over the US trying local BBQ and while I’ve had better versions of every major dish, I haven’t had it often, never anywhere remotely close to here, and almost never at the same place. This is 9/10 BBQ whether you’re going for pork, chicken, brisket, etc. It blows everything else within an hour or three drive out of the water. When I say I’ve “had better” I’m talking about me having had the best of the best in 47 states over the course of the past 10 years. I’ve gone to dozens of BBQ competitions across the US and had chef friends win some of those competitions. Is it always a 9/10? No, sometimes quality dips to a 7 on one dish or the other, but never lower than that from my 20 or so trips in the past 4 or 5 months. Check out their tacos too, really solid. Actually love their buffalo chicken taco, one of the specials. You won’t find a more solid BBQ joint anywhere in SC (or NC for that matter). Great sauce, great service, and great prices. I almost hate to post this review because this is the definition of a hidden gem, but they deserve it. Just consistently excellent day after day. I hate that I’m selling my beach house here this summer because I’m going to miss the hell out of this place.
