Description
Maurice's BBQ is of the South Carolina mustard-based variety. My mother used to buy Maurice's sauce from our local Winn-Dixie and I have to say it is delicious. Anyway, Leah and I stopped at a Maurice's off I-95 near Santee, enticed by promises of some sort of BBQ buffet. When we got to the restaurant we found there was no buffet but there was a rather extensive "gift shop" area with many items of Confederate significance and some vaguely racist-sounding pamphlets and literature. Anyway, the BBQ was ok but the meals seemed a bit overpriced. The mustard sauce is very tangy and the portions are fairly large. The restaurant itself seemed a bit fast-foodish and wasn't really the home style atmosphere I've come to expect from BBQ joints. You gotta try it once but save yourself the trip and just buy the sauce at your local grocery store (or online).

Favorite Menu Item: French Fries
Review: We stopped at Maurice's in Rock Hill and ordered BBQ sandwiches. Being from NC, it was surprising when the BBQ was yellow. I picked up a bottle of sauce and found out that it was mustard based.
Won't make that mistake again. I came home and made my own BBQ.

Favorite Menu Item: Pulled pork, hush puppies
Review: I stopped at one of these restaurants on accident while driving from Virginia to Georgia. I always never wanted to try the mustard based sauces just because it seems kind of strange (im not accustomed to it). But Maurice's was awesome for a fast food BBQ joint. The hickory sauce is my favorite out of all the sauces. And their hush puppies are really good.

Review: We stop at the Santee, SC location every year on our way to Hilton Head and we love it. Can't get anything like this in PA!

Favorite Menu Item: BBQ Pork
Review: This is my favorite restaurant in Columbia and one of my favorite BBQ places in SC. The food is great. The portions are more than generous. I order the small plates and it is all I can do to finish them. The original location is the best with the big sign and 50's atmosphere.
