I went with my church group here last Sunday, I was so impressed with everything. I kept hearing about this place and had to go check it out. The food was really awesome. I left full and then hungry for more that night. I took my family that following Friday but boy the wait was worth it... The price you... More

Three kinds of barbecue - vinegar, tomato, mustard and a great variety of meats, vegetables and salads were on the buffet. Everything we ate was good and we plan to return.

Before visiting Columbia we did some research as to were to eat. This place was on top of our list and it didn't disappoint. We knew we picked the right place when we pulled in and the place was full with locals for lunch. Easily got our fill and then some.

First of all, this place was packed. Buffet had a good selection and our family of four ate for around $25. Food was good but not great. We ended up having to share a table with another family because it was so crowded. It was really loud in there as well. I would eat there again if I was in... More

this was a hard place to rate. 3 of us ate here for $30. They have a huge all you can eat buffet and while it clearly was not the best food there were many things that were very good, some fair. There is something for everyone and if in the area I would go back. I found the brisket... More

While at Fort Jackson for our son's family day and graduation we had to stop here. Very convenient location and great selection of food. We went once and I was happy, but the kids wanted to go a second time. No problem, plenty to select from. Many choices of barbecue, chicken, catfish, sausage, vegetables and sides. Not many desserts, but... More

I went there on April 06, 2013. I have been going to Little Pig since 1980 and I don't think I have ever come close to having Bad food until this night. The Brislet was tough as Leather, the hash was watery and greasy, the chopped pork was only fair. the Pig Pulling Station only had some bones and fat... More

We ate here with high hopes and could not have been more disappointed. There sure was a lot of food, but most of it was terrible and some undercooked. The place is barebones, but that's OK. You eat at first-come, first-serve tables from styrofoam cups, plates and plastic utensils (but no knives when we were there). First the good: Beans,... More

We eat at Little Pig several times a year and have never been disappointed! The wide variety of food is consistently delicious and the service is always friendly and efficient. It's a great value for the quality of food and family atmosphere!

Delicious! $9 apeice for all you can eat and a drink. The bbq was amazing. (I'm usually a vinegar girl myself but their tomato based was the clear winner.) Awesome collards, delcious hushpuppies. everything was delicious. My only complaint: my tummy was too small for third helpings.
