Palmetto Pig Bar-B-Q Restaurant

We stopped into the Palmetto Pig on our day in Columbia. The restaurant is right down town. It is a buffet. All the food we ate was delicious. There was fried chicken and pulled pork for the meats. They had green beans, Mac n cheese, potato salad, Cole slaw, and baked beans. The hush puppies were amazing.

First asking questions about the menu is annoying to the staff or so it seems. The drink, you pay for, is water or tea. The buffet is tiny. While it is all you can eat you really won't want to. The pork and chicken are dry. The regular sauce is bland. The coleslaw tastes like water. The potato salad tastes like sugar and the macaroni like salt. The only dessert is banana pudding. Basically you are paying $18 dollars for green beans and fried dough that is supposed to be hush puppies but taste like Chinese donuts. There are so many better options.

First time here and I will definitely be back. All the food I tried on the buffet was delicious. I didn't try the fried chicken because I was too full! Buffet is a little more limited than some other places but it had enough variety to please almost anyone. I loved the hush puppies with a touch of sweetness. I also appreciated they had fried pork skins.

This place has been opened for 23 year's. The food is good, but nothing stands out. Limited amount on the buffet bar. Tables needed cleaning and staff was sitting down. Staff trays to be invisible. Fried chicken was okay. $18 for this buffet with just a few choices is a bit much.

This a great buffet if you want some good southern food. It’s a small buffet with a couple of choices like fried chicken, pulled pork, Mac and Chesse, coleslaw and banana pudding. The price is good it was $16 per person included a drink. The fried chicken was my favorite all the sides were incredible. But for me the Mac and Chesse was my top pick for that sides. The dinning area was clean. I will be coming back when I’m craving some good southern food.
