Well, my old favorite, Millender's, is unfortunately long gone. I was on assignment at the hotel right next store to Millender's and that family sure took me under their wing. I spent what little free time I had helping them pick pig on Thursdays (roasting day) and hanging out, bussing tables and helping in the kitchen Friday nights.

Anyways, the other BBQ place I liked is Duke's at 2736 Emanuel Church Rd
West Columbia, SC 29170.

Good pig and good sauces. They make mustard, vinegar and a red sauce. Try them all. Even though red is not traditional SC sauce Duke's is really good. They also serve house made potato chips which is a bonus.

There is a local chain in Columbia called Lizard's Thicket. They make really good fried chicken and have great southern side dishes. Great as in the mac & cheese that they make is good but some of the veggies are canned.
