Hite's Bar-B-Que

Hite’s Bar-B-Que is a true Columbia staple and one of those classic spots that’s been around for a reason. It’s not trying to be fancy or trendy. It’s just straightforward, no frills BBQ that hits the spot when you want something familiar and satisfying. The food is solid, the portions are good, and it’s the kind of place you can count on for a dependable meal. It feels like a local institution and it’s the type of restaurant that adds character to a city. I’m giving it five stars because it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and it does it consistently. If you want a classic Columbia BBQ experience, Hite’s is absolutely worth a visit.

Take out only, but this BBQ is worth the stop, just like Southern Living says. Pulled pork and hash are just as good as I remembered.

Small BBQ shop. Pick up only. Plates or larger portions to go. There are picnic tables outside beside a nice pond. No covered seating. The portions are large. You can get BBQ pork, chicken or ribs. $11 Plates includes rice and hash, roll and 1 side. Dessert is $2. We got banana creme pudding. Drinks are in the cooler. Very good BBQ. I added some vinegar sauce to mine. I will definitely be back to support a local family business!

Ordered a BBQ plate. It included pork BBQ, hash and rice, 1 side and a roll. The BBQ was one of the best I have ever tasted. It had a great smoky flavor. The hash was good but the sides were just mediocre.

Stop by before closing & ordered 2 meals Togo - chicken & pork. Ordered some ribs on the side. Chicken was excellent - smoky, tender fall off bone & tasty. Hash over rice was different & very tasty. Chopped pork was ok, fresh meat & some smoke. Green beans & baked beans all good. Ribs had a bite on the bark & tender inside, sweet red sauce. They also have the mustard version. Large portions & reasonably prices. A hidden gem.

Old establishment been cooking BBQ for as long as I can remember. Only open certain day's and for holidays. Prices are very reasonable and you get plenty of food. BBQ is really good. No dining in, all take out. Service is fast and everyone is friendly and helpful. Good place to stop and pick up something to take home when you don't feel like cooking. Restaurant is clean throughout and outside area is kept clean and neat. Everything is good!

Excellent bbq with generous portions and I love the mustard sauce and the hash. Been eating here since I was a kid in the 1980's. BBQ done right. Get there early enough for some rich and flavorful pork skins.

I’ve been coming here for over 30 years this is real deal South Carolina barbecue. I don’t like hash at all, but I always get some because there’s is the best. They’re chopped barbecue is phenomenal. Their sauce is otherworldly the folks working here are the best. I hope the tradition continues on for many more years.
