Dukes Bar-B-Que
This loose confederacy of family-owned barbecue restaurants was originally opened during the 1950s by Earl Dukes across Orangeburg County. Over the years, different siblings and other members of the family have opened Dukes locations throughout the low country of South Carolina. They sell authentic South Carolina-style barbecue, including slow-cooked chicken, brisket, pork, and other cuts of meat that come slathered in a choice of sauces including their own Orangeburg Sweet mustard-based barbecue sauce. There are also plenty of sides and cold beverages to enjoy in this fun, Americana-style restaurant.
The Dukes Bar-B-Que on 1298 Whitman St. in Orangeburg is only open Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. Customers can dine in or order takeout.
Fatz Cafe
Fatz is an American restaurant through and through. They offer sizable portions of steak, burgers, seafood, sandwiches, ribs, chicken, and desserts. The owners pride themselves on not being a fancy restaurant but rather offering down-home cooking with a personal touch. Founded in 1988, the original location was a converted peach stand that has since grown to include dozens of locations throughout the mid and deep south.
Fatz Cafe is located at 3575 Saint Matthews Road in Orangeburg and is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m to 11 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight.
The Brown Derby
This quaint little barbecue joint features all the favorites, including fried chicken, ribs, corn on the cob, catfish, and more. There is a minimalistic ambiance to the Brown Derby, which makes it perfect for customers who aren’t looking for fancy decorations or a bunch of televisions on the wall. This is a great place to stop by for an afternoon lunch or early dinner.
The Brown Derby is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. They’re located at 1399 Belleville Road in Orangeburg.
These restaurants are the perfect remedy for the Monday blues or to scratch that chicken wing fix on a Friday night. This might not be the healthiest food out there, but it sure is the most delicious.
