The South is known for some of the best comfort food in the United States. Orangeburg, South Carolina, is no exception, offering a wide range of tasty menu options at its various eateries. When your craving strikes for traditional Southern BBQ, take a look at a few of the top restaurants in the area.
Duke’s Bar-B-Que
Duke’s Bar-B-Que is a small buffet-style restaurant that’s open Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Pricing is reasonable and you can eat as much as you want from the various options. Although the atmosphere is what locals refer to as “no-thrills,” the food is made fresh with traditional recipes. Duke’s serves a mustard-based barbecue sauce with meat choices, which is particularly popular in this region. You can dine in or take your food to go, choosing from options like macaroni and cheese, hash, fried chicken, pulled pork, hush puppies, rice, potato salad, and pickles.
Antley’s Barbecue
Antley’s Barbecue is another buffet in Orangeburg serving a wide range of options. The mustard-based sauce has a hint of ketchup, which adds some sweetness and flavor, although you can also choose from a hot vinegar-based sauce and a more traditional tomato-based BBQ sauce. The buffet features fried chicken, barbecued chicken, and pulled pork, along with sides like hush puppies, hash and rice, baked beans, coleslaw, and green beans.
If you prefer to eat your barbecue in a sandwich, grab a few slices of bread from the buffet and make your own. Each table in the restaurant also has a pitcher of sweet tea, while other drinks are available as well.
