Lawrence RouseWard's is a staple in Sumter that has been around for decades. I know them for their rice and hash. I didn't realize hash is something special to South Carolina barbecue until I moved away. I ordered their Little Pig and a BBQ dinner. We were not disappointed. The rice, hash, and hush puppies still tastes as good as I remembered growing up. The pulled pork bbq was also good. They also give you decent sized portions.
