Como Smoke and Fire - South

A fantastic BBQ spot! We ate here with friends and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming — perfect for hanging out and enjoying good food. Everything we tried was packed with flavor; the smoked meats were tender and juicy, and the sides tasted just as fresh and homemade. Service was friendly and fast, and you can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. Great drink selection too, with plenty of local beers and cocktails to pair with your meal. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Columbia, this place is definitely worth a stop for quality barbecue and a fun, laid-back vibe.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was absolutely delicious. The smoked turkey and beef burnt ends were awesome. As was the fried okra and grilled mixed veggies. The service was terrific. So friendly and attentive. I'll be stopping here every time we come through Columbia from now on!

Tried this location for the first time and I think it was even better than the other location. The funnel cake fries were the same, just as delicious. The pulled pork is so tender... I think it's one of the best I've ever had. I got the bacon BLT to compare it to the other location and the bread was more crispy, which is a win for me. Honestly could be the best BLT I've ever had. The waitress suggested crispy fried green tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes for my bacon BLT and I feel like that made it better as well. There was an extra crunch in each bite. They call it a bacon BLT because they put so much bacon on it. I posted a picture showing the inside load of bacon. We also got fried pickles and they were delicious. You get spheres of fried pickles and some ranch to dip it in. For the

Food was great. Ribs were a littlenunderseasoned for my taste, but were tasty. Loaded potato salad slapped. Hand cut fries were bussin. They were out of tortilla chips so we couldn't get the bbq nachos. Will return fosho.

Got a full slab of ribs with two sides. May I say, I was quite disappointed! Some of the worst ribs I have ever tasted. They were very very dry, but had decent flavor. Mac & cheese tasted Like they were one of those great value boxed mac u get form Dollar Tree. Baked beans were very watery and bland. All of this for 40 bucks??? Never again! The people there Seemed nice though.
