TnT EstateWe’ve been wanting to try this BBQ place for a while and finally made it in yesterday. The food was really good, and the staff was super kind and welcoming. We got the rib dinner, and it was more than enough for the two of us, with leftovers to take home. The ribs were tender and full of flavor, and the sauce was great—kind of like a mix between Carolina gold and a hot sauce. The hash really surprised me in a good way. I’d never had it before, but it was amazing, even over rice. It had a good balance of spicy, sweet, tangy, and meaty flavors. The corn dodgers were also really good. I don’t know why, but I expected them to be like mini corn dogs, which they weren’t—but they were still really enjoyable. The only downside was the slaw and potato salad. They were fresh and crisp, but didn’t have much flavor compared to everything else. We’ll definitely be back, especially because the portion sizes are great for the price. Paying around $20 for lunch for two people is pretty rare these days.

tasha JohnsonI've been getting the Hash and Rice for years and it's usually always good. The place always seems to be clean but they don't wear hair nets or gloves. And the food only have a aluminum foil cover sometimes.

P CarterNice local joint, that I was referred to by locals. The staff were super friendly and gave me samples once they found out it was my first time. Really enjoyed everything.

Gregory MottaWent to this Wards bbq this past Sunday. It was only 1 of 3 locations open on Sunday. It was after 2pm and they were going to be closed next 2 days so I was a bit concerned about it being fresh. Well it was absolutely delicious. I’m a northerner visiting my son but I do like my bbq, especially Carolina style. Got the Pulled pork platter with all the fixings. Xtra sauce on pork was offered and accepted, so good. The rice n hash was a first for me and was excellent. Sides of slaw & potato salad were very good and fresh. And the hush puppies might have been best I’ve ever had. Service was friendly young man at counter snd 2 ladies working hard in the back. Whenever I come down to Sumter Wards will be my go to for bbq. 👍
