I've been eating at Big T's for over 20 years and have never been disappointed in the quality of delicious bbq and all the fixins or the service they provide to their customers. Always feel like family when I go in there. I have introduced by husband and our 3 sons to this great place and they all love it too. Can't wait to visit them again and again.

This was my second time eating bbq in Columbia. First time was the 3 pigs. This time I had the rice with gravy and hash. Interesting; sauce is mustardy vinegary. Ribs were ok but dried out. Greens were decent.

I'm not really in a position to judge because I'm on almost a carnivore diet and just bought a pound of cooked barbecued pork and a diet Mountain Dew. A bit of flavoring on the meat, slightly sweet, maybe from some sort of rub with pepper and cayenne and a little sugar? I didn't need sauce. The pork was good. Staff was quick and polite. Nicely clean and tidy and surprisingly roomy if you want to eat in. If all of the food is that good the place probably deserves 5 stars.

I LOVE Big T's!!! They have been open since I was a child and, as a New York native, I can remember driving down hours at a time waiting until we crossed the SC line to get some hash and rice! I will never not go to Big T's as long as i'm in the area!

Big T's has been around since I can remember and they have never failed me. My favorite combination to get here is the hash and rice plate with mac and cheese and green beans. Request the crackling cornbread with your meal (thank me later). And you can't forget the sweet tea!!

A bit of a drive for me as I live in NE Columbia. Really miss the location off Sparkleberry Crossing that was closer to my home. However, the pricing is consistent in person, over the phone, and on their menu. (Which is a plus with due to my recent experience with a small business practicing price dishonesty to make up for lost sales) Their hash is different than what I am used to, but it satisfied a recent craving that I was having. Pictured is a homemade meal I made using Big T's hash. Give it a try if you are in the area! Let me know how you like it!

So Big-Ts has been our go to for BBQ these last few years. The staff is great and even on super busy holidays they are warm and friendly. They have two sauces, regular and spicy. I usually go with the Big-T. (Pulled pork, hash and rice, green beans and Mac and cheese). I have never been disappointed. They take to go orders over the phone. Be prepared to stand in line on Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day.
