Costillas y pollo

The blower fan on the cooker pulls you in off of Meeting Street. The perfectly smoked chicken and ribs will keep you coming back. Bring cash and enjoy some stupid good BBQ on Saturdays.

Run, don’t walk to this place! It is amazing! The seasoning is fabulous. The chicken is cooked to perfection with excellent grilled flavor. They have a green sauce that is avocado and jalapeños, that makes an excellent accompaniment to the chicken. And as of May 2025, a half chicken is only eight dollars. And if the food wasn’t enough, the staff are absolutely delightful. In today’s era of nameless faceless big restaurant chains, go out and support this fabulous local business.

So I initially only stopped here because I had not had breakfast or lunch, and after noticing a smoker outside of the Citgo, I figured "I may as well." Well dang. I mean DANG! For $15 dollars I got a big portion of hot, meaty, juicy, ribs that fell right off of the rib. I couldn't get enough of them, and it's a bummer that they were out of chicken by the time I came (which was closing time). They have limited hours (I think Saturdays until 2pm), no drinks, and they are cash only, so bear that in mind. The only negative was being approached by a persistent panhandler while munching away in the parking lot, but I should have known better. I will definitely go back for the chicken, and maybe even more ribs, the next time I'm in Columbia.

15 for a whole chicken grilled to perfection. Nice guy too.

The BEST chicken and ribs ever; the food is packed with flavor! The owners are super polite, and prices are reasonable. However, they are only open on Saturdays and Sundays.
