Maurice’s BBQ Piggie Park

I haven’t eaten here in years, but fondly recall the BBQ with South Carolina-​style mustard based sauce. Would up service. Fast food ambiance. Would both return and recommend.

Stopped at the drive thru and ordered a big brisket sandwich for $ 8.00+… asked the lady on the speaker if it’d be smokey, she assured me it would.. as I pulled around, I should have known better… where’d they have the wood stacked? Psssh. non smokey, nearly flavorless brisket. A big let down. My only chance to try some South Carolina BBQ on my way through town too. Not recommended.

This place has seen its better days. What a complete shithole. Not only was the place completely filthy the staff couldn’t have been any more rude if they tried. When you walk in the place you are greeted by dirty Windows. Coming up to the counter the person taking my order had the personality of a person with a IQ of hermit crab. The person in the back preparing the meals was stuffing her face with food. I mention preparing the food that was made at another location because it is not a functioning kitchen. A BBq place is supposed to smell like something is made on the premises. Every BBq joint signature dish is Mac and cheese at 2:00pm on a Saturday they are out of it. With no customers in sight. Poorly managed.
if Maurices is going to survive they need to set standards that were created decades ago by their funder. I understand the family is running the business since the passing of Maurice. I had many of great meals in the past and today was not one of those times. I would rather eat out of a toilet then at Maurices. Having said all of that the bottles of BBq is the best in the Carolinas. I hope the people from Maurices read this review and start protecting their brand and make the changes to return Maurices back to its former glory.

The placed looked closed, it could use some sprucing up from the outside. However, we were pleased once inside. The service staff was friendly and the BBQ DELISH. Highly recommend the BBQ plate, the bubba sized and awesome mac and cheese, and some kick in’ baked beans. I saw reviews for some very good banana pudding but frankly would have needed 911.

DON’T EAT HERE. The bbq pork was a pureed mush served over rice. The potato salad was dried out. The chicken club sandwich = fried breaded filet + 1 slice American cheese + 1 slice of fried bacon in 3 separate curls + a hamburger bun. Edible, yes. What I expected, not at all. 2 17yo boys didn’t like anything ordered, and they like absolutely everything. Mac n cheese was «awful». Daughter’s chicken sandwich was a fried breaded filet, so thin that chicken was all but indiscernible. The floor was sticky everywhere. Outside dining accommodation were a single cramped picnic table next to a trash can and cigarette butt receptacle, apparently for employees not patrons. I’m pretty sure the Cracker Barrel within walking distance serves BBQ, and it guarantees to be better.
NO STARS (but Unilocal requies at least one)

Everything is cooked w the original mustard sauce. You can add any sauce you want but why would you add the red sauce to a mustard sauce??? The most unfriendly cashier I have ever met in my life. Cooking staff was nice & courteous. Items on the menu no longer available but still offered. The side are cup size portion that leads you to believe that it would be a cup size but no… how about 4 oz!!! If that large. Chickens fingers over cooked & much more breading than chicken. Overall the worst BBQ experience ever! Mac & cheese wasn’t even good! We were a party of five & the Beef brisket & fries were the only edible portion of the meal.

Food was ok. Brisket dry. Good okra. The white bread dinner roll was right out of a bag from the grocery store. In terms of décor, the place is in serious need of a make over. It cost $ 31 for my wife and me. I’m glad I tried it but next time we’ll go next do to Cracker Barrel.

The brisket and Mac n cheese was good. They were out of chicken. The ribs were boiled and tasted like a dirty sponge. Staff was semi friendly, but not very professional. The seating area was limited. An area of seats was sectioned off to keep people from sitting there. Another section of booths had cushioned seats and no backs. The bathroom was ok. The staff did wish us a nice day as we left. I do like their mustard base bbq sauce.

Southern ribs delicious, onion rings slamming, what a nice option to drive through and get a decent meal to take back to your hotel room instead of that fast food garbage out there! Yes it is a mustard barbecue sauce and it’s delicious. Cole slaw was eh … Looking forward to my next trip through to try some more variety:)

My wife and I shared a Chicken and Pork combo and a Ribs and Brisket combo so we could get a taste of everything Maurice’s had to offer. Overall, the food was okay and we’d probably look for a different BBQ joint in the area if that’s what we were craving.
=== THE GOOD ===
— Mustard-​Based Sauce. Hands-​down this is the best mustard-​based BBQ sauce we’ve ever had, and we’ve had quite a few!
=== THE BAD ===
— Pricey. Most BBQ places have much lower prices than Maurice’s. It was a bit on the expensive side for what you get.
— Sauce Options. Although the mustard-​based sauce makes you not crave other sauces, if you’re looking for something else, you have VERY limited options.

Really good BBQ Brisket, and ribs, the place looks kind of weird and unfinished, the staff is not the nicest, but not rude at all… but don’t let that fool you, the kitchens is really clean and the food is really good, hushpuppies are awsome… you must have the banana puding… freshly made when i ordered, really good…

Why Maurice’s BBQ Piggie Park has a 4 star rating on Unilocal confounds me. It is the worst BBQ experience I’ve ever had. And I’m not nitpicking here… lets go through the sins committed during during the EPIC SHITSHOW.
Mac n’ Cheese with unmelted cheese and mushy overcooked noodles. Oh and come on, how’s about just a LITTLE bit of salt? Pepper maybe? Flavor?
Pulled Pork sammich so dry that even after pouring a quarter of their «special sauce» — which hilariously they bottle sell in expensive boxes — still left me chocking on this dried up pork. I can make better, moister pulled pork without even smoking it. The bun should be toasted and buttered was just a plain toasted on a brill bun and why no crunchy slaw? After 2 bites, I was done.
Slaw that tasted like relish and looked like green goop.
Under-​fried Hush-​Puppies. Still liquid in the middle. What the fuck?
I tasted the food from the others at my table. The insanely overcooked dog was so salty I felt my arteries harden and clog after one bite. The ribs are so tasteless and bland that even the mix of mustard and relish Maurice’s BBQ Piggie Park calls BBQ sauce couldn’t save them. French fries — only freshly cooked item served — came from a bag of frozen fries.
Hell, even the soda fountain was improperly calibrated.
Oh and did I mention the table, booths and floors were sticky, the ceiling atmosphere conditioners outlets were so dirty I was afraid of getting infected with spores.
To eat there is to encourage, to enable the grotesques atrocities that stain self-​respecting BBQ joints.

I was not impressed with Maurice’s bbq what so ever. For being right off of 95 I can’t believe the owners of this chain keep the facility in the condition it’s in. The building looks like it’s been abandon. The inside is no better. The prices I though we’re fair, but the bbq was horrible. They have multiple sauces to choose from out by the drink station so I was under the impression you could pick one, but much to my dismay they bring out the bbq drowning in their mustard sauce. I felt like I was eating a bottle of yellow mustard sauce. I also had the Mac n cheese and baked beans which both I was not impressed with. The hush puppies were good, but did have a lot of onion in them. I was ready to leave this place, and when we did all the employes were huddled around the front door smoking.
95 offers a ton of other food options to choose from so do yourself a favor and find somewhere else.

I got the brisket sandwich basket. Meat was dry and a little tough. Not much Smokey flavor. Mustard bbq sauce wasnt bad but they put it in a separate container. Being that the meat was on the dry side I would have prefered a larger portion of bbq saucesonce its not included on the sandwich.
I got the beans as a side, unique flavor I was reminded of peppered beef jerky. Fries and hushpuppy also came with the basket, I didn’t eat the hush puppy it was to dark for my liking. Fries were fresh. Plenty of food to fill me up. Customer service wasn’t great but it by no means were they rude.
The actual location is rough looking if I had gone inside I probably would have skipped. I figured YOLO!

I Like Maurice’s Barbeque. The mustard sauce gives it a yellow appearance and a different flavor. I think it is unique to South Carolina. The sides are very nice, I always love hush puppies. The format is sort of fast food like here. That makes sense, it appears it was formerly a fast food restaurant of some type previously. They also serve many travelers on 95, who want to eat quickly and resume their trip.

Unique mustard-​based BBQ! You have to taste this with an open mind. It is different from traditional BBQ, but very good in its own way. I like it!

Where to start? Out of slaw and Mac n cheese when order was placed. Should’ve left then. We traveled many miles out of our way to eat here. Food at piggy park in Columbia always excellent. Wasn’t coming that way this trip.
I ordered the rib and chicken plate, husband got the sampler platter. Add some sauces to take home, bill over $ 50. Chicken and ribs were cold. Brought back, employee reheated in microwave in front of me. Nothing else «hot» she could swap it for. Microwaved BBQ??? Give me a break. Chicken and ribs tasted old and rubbery. We were charged extra for white meat we never received. I will NEVER eat here again!!! What a letdown!!!

This little joint is like a fast food place. It’s right off of I95. It looks like it was another fast food place before but, no updating has been done. It’s pretty much an ugly olé dive. On the positive side, the service was helpful and friendly. However, I was very disappointed in the food. It seems like the food is prepped somewhere else and it comes in to be heated up or something. Nothing seemed like it was grilled or smoked there. This is notmy idea of good BBQ. The pork meat itself was dry. It was tossed in a good BBQ sauce but, it didn’t improve it at all. The lemonade was way too sweet. Hush puppies were ok and the coleslaw was sour not sweet&sour or sweet. The chicken tasted like it was boiled then tossed in sauce. The rice with hash was the best item that we tried. The prices seemed high for the quality and kind of place that it was. There are other BBQ places where the food is better and cooked right for the same price

I have been to Maurices 3 times now driving South on 95
Their BBQ with mustard sauce is awful Can not tell if it is pork or cardboard I love all kinds of BBQ but that was dreadful I honestly could not eat the sandwich Threw it away
Their ribs are good BUT my wife will not let me go back again because of all of the racial stuff they used to have Amazing, but the first time we went — they were actually flying a rebel flag which you could see from the highway So i had to see what kind of place it was Had the ribs which i liked but did not care for the atmosphere which had all fo this conferate soldier stuff They no longer have the confederate flag but the BBQ is enough to keep me away from there

My husband and I stopped here for lunch on our way to charleston. It is off I-​95 and the garmin guided us to it on our quest for some quick food. We both had the same thing: BBQ sandwich, Cole slaw, fries and lemonade (we ordered the Little Joe basket, to be precise). Not the cheapest of places, our order was over $ 20. The BBQ was good, but I quickly got tired of its tangy taste about half way into the sandwich. Fries were soggy as hell. I ate one of them (what a waste). The coleslaw was very good IMO, had a little oomph given by a little horseradish in the dressing. My husband hated it, only because he’s not a fan of horseradish. The lemonade was off the chain. Delish and sweet. It is not a place I would stop for again. You cannot claim to be an award winner and then not live up to you name.
