Jayson H.Gilbert, AZ184146Jul 25, 2024I drove all the way from Myrtle Beach to get here and the food is wonderful. I never expected to go to Lake City for excellent catfish and barbecue. My wife loved the salad. She loved the black and blue salad which is sirloin and blue cheese. I didn't expect them to even sell burgers and from what I heard the people next to us talking about they said they loved the wings. Enjoy the food

Feb 18, 2024Updated review2 visits to this place in one weekend! Yes.. we ate here twice during our weekend visit to the city. The staff was friendly. The service was great. The food was absolutely delicious! I love the vibe of this place.
We absolutely love fish and to be able to get some good fried fish was a huge plus!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Feb 17, 2024Previous reviewI love a small town with great food served by great people! This place did not disappoint! Customer service was A1!!
"We don't serve fast food, we serve good food as fast as we can" That is the motto! It was definitely worth the wait! Everything came to the table hot and delicious! We received a lot of food for the price. We could've easily shared but we wanted to taste multiple things.
The catfish and shrimp platter....DELICIOUS! I had sweet potatoe fries and Mac n cheese (my least favorite thing I ate). My husband had ribs, brisket, fried okra, corn on the cob, onions and pickles. The ribs were delicious but he raved about the brisket! I would have preferred a little less sauce on the ribs. We aren't used to South Carolina BBQ, but it wasn't bad. The sweet hush puppies with honey butter were OK.
We will definitely return if we're in the area!
Keith F.Myrtle Beach, SCJun 4, 2024Updated reviewThis used to be one of our favorite restaurants but lately the quality of the food has really deteriorated. The food tastes old and seems to be getting worse. A family member ordered wings during our LAST visit. They were so bad that she could not even eat them. I am saddened that what used to be such a great venue has come to this.

The food, while a little pricey, is deliciously cooked. My favorite is the barbecue baked chicken, but the catfish fillets are a close second. Staff is friendly and responsive. This place is worth a drive if you don't live in the area. I highly recommend it!
Jul 31, 2020Previous reviewThe food was excellent and came out quickly after we ordered. For the price, however, the portions are inappropriately small. Great food, but you don't get what you pay for.

Restaurant is situated in the heart of a Lake City, SC downtown area. We was visiting the local area checking out the ArtFields yesterday, and we decided to stop by and enjoy some lunch here. They are well known in the local area for their BBQ and catfish, so I wanted to give them a try based on their Google reviews. The staff was friendly and helpful will I was ordering our food.
They have indoor seating, no Wi-Fi network available. We decided on their brisket sandwich basket and their catfish basket. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered, but the brisket was kinda of fatty. But besides that the brisket had more fat than I'd prefer, it was very moist and not too dry. The catfish was very good, and their French fries were homemade and very tasty.
No private parking lot, but there is available street and nearby parking lots available. I'm sure that we will be back in near future when we visit this area again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0- Jennifer R.Cane Savannah, SC010Aug 19, 2024
Best restaurant in Lake City! This place is amazing. Best barbecue I've ate in South Carolina and the steaks and shrimp is the best in town! Staff is always friendly. The atmosphere is always upbeat in this place is always clean. You can't ask for a better restaurant! I love PIGGYBACKS!!!

Jennifer B.Columbia, SCMar 28, 2022This is my second time eating here. My niece loves the wings from this place. The first time I came, I had the pulled pork with sides. It was delicious and well seasoned.
This second time we had the lemon pepper wings. The wings were crisp and the flavor was truly lemony and peppery! Sometimes lemon pepper wings are salty and there's just a hint of the actual flavor. With these you can taste fresh lemon and pepper. We also had hush puppies and the honey butter that came with it was divine.
They have an extensive menu of bbq and seafood with specials.
Be prepared to wait when you go here since they prepare your food to order. Customer service was ok. We were greeted upon entering and that was it. They don't exactly have full service...you get your own drinks, etc.

Jeff W.Henryville, PA0100May 9, 2023This place should be ashamed to call what they serve "BBQ"

sauce no bark seemed steamed and the brisket was the same.

The food was fresh. tasty and delicious. The service was great and the staff friendly. The atmosphere was more of a southern, down home type.

We stopped here for lunch. Service was prompt & the food was good. We ordered a Catfish Dinner and a Catfish Basket for two of us. The restaurant does add a service charge to your bill if you pay with a credit card. The street in front of the restaurant is one way with parallel parking on both sides of the street. The restaurant also serves wine slushy & beer. They had a good lunch crowd while we were eating so it's one of the local go to places when in town.

Over priced, cold, old unsmoked food. I ordered beef brisket. They even charges for the onion and pickles that come with it!
No service. Plastic cutlery . At $61. For 2 I should have 2 knives. Just one.
