I wish there was a good bbq place in Boone ... All we have is the Peddaling Pig, it sucks.
I miss cinder block buildings with buffets, I don't want new builds and menus when I'm getting bbq.
Hometeam isn't bad. The one here near the house is always so crowded that I rarely even consider it.
One novel thing they have that's really pretty damn good is a "BBQ wrap". It's pulled pork, mashed potatoes, corn and slaw rolled up in a flour tortilla. Not traditional but pretty handy when you need to grab something to eat while you're driving.

Sweatman’s $8 all you can eat buffet days died long ago. That being said they catered a grower meeting for me 3 weeks ago and everything was jam up, had 93 farmers and not a one complained.
This right here! ^^^
The one in N Chas was run by the Ott's(daughter of Mr Earl) and then continued by their grandaughter, Lisa, until her health got the best of her. They closed down maybe a year and a half, two years back. Someone from my family was sitting at those same picnic tables every Saturday evening at 6 since they opened in up in the late 50's. I still swing by the one off of Chestnut after I leave the dove club and bring some back down to the Lowcountry. They still have a large sign on the front door stating "WE DO NOT SERVE CHICKEN". Makes me chuckle every time I walk in...

Dammit!
Home Team is ok. They do have a good jalapeno margarita. Lewis' is fine as well.
Henry's Smokehouse in Greenville is no frills, good bbq... at least it was the last time I was in there.

Orangeburg County and barbecue have shared a long, delicious relationship going back 60 years.
Canaan native Earl Dukes Sr. started his restaurant in Orangeburg in 1955 at Chestnut Street and Columbia Road near where Kentucky Fried Chicken operated a restaurant until recently. The Dukes Barbecue would later move to a small cafe on Whitman Street.
From there, Dukes Sr. moved to Cameron in 1970. In order to distinguish his barbecue from other Dukes’ restaurants, it was named The Original Earl Dukes Barbecue.
The restaurant moved back to Orangeburg in 1983 at the Charleston Highway location. The restaurant closed around 2002.
Upon his retirement in 1984, Dukes’ son, Earl Dukes Jr., assumed ownership of the restaurant.
From its origins in Orangeburg, Dukes’ Barbecue spread across the city and throughout the state as family members and others saw the success of the Dukes name.
“You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.”
