Maurice s Piggie ParkBBQPROVerified business?

Stand out bbq. The ribs were great. The brisket was legit. I didn't expect such great brisket in South Carolina, but it's great. The collard greens were delicious and the fried okra was perfection.

Have been dying to get back to South Carolina and Maurice’s!!!! This Southern BBQ is ICONIC!! Will be back and definitely ordering their sauces for everyone I know!!!

You walk in expecting real Southern barbecue—but what you get depends on who’s in the kitchen that day. Some days it’s decent… tonight felt like a rehearsal that never made it to opening night. Been here several times. The place has that old-school vibe—which can be charming—but sometimes the food feels like it’s been holding onto that same era a little too tightly. Ray gave it a six—and that might’ve been him being polite in public. The bread wasn’t fresh, the barbecue wasn’t hot, and the hushpuppies tasted like they’d already lived a full life somewhere else before arriving at our table. Since we had the same meal, I agree. He had the onion rings, I had the fries—which tasted like someone lost control of the salt shaker and just decided to stand by their decision. Somewhere under all that sodium was a potato… allegedly. The one standout? Those onion rings. Perfect texture—crispy with that satisfying, crunchy bite that actually makes you pause mid-chew. And if you know the history behind Maurice Bessinger and his sauce, you already know why some folks stopped buying it years ago. Look, the South knows barbecue. For transplants, this might pass. For those of us who do… bless it.
