Having lived in Texas for about 7 years, I'm a bit particular about my BBQ. Buckingham's has about the best BBQ in Columbia (though Smoking Chicks - review to come - is pretty close). Reasonably priced food that usually gives you a second meal out of it. The Nifong location is a touch larger and more pleasant surroundings. I'm more of a wet-rib fan instead of the dry-rubbed ribs Buckingham's does, but still pretty good eats. The sauces are ok, but a bit mundane. Good smoke and flavor for all their meats, I prefer the brisket and spicy sausage. Although the meat is good, I really like their sides, especially the horseradish slaw. I also like the french fries with the skin on. The sweet potato sides are a good addition. Good friendly service.
