Home Team BBQ Columbia

Home team barbecue provided catering for my daughter’s graduation party. The food was absolutely delicious and everybody loved it. We got the pulled pork, smoked chicken wings, and several of the sides. I was hoping there would be leftovers the next day, but our guests devoured the food. It was definitely a hit! Everyone was really nice and they got the order exactly right.

Ran across this place while walking around 5 Points and I'm so glad we did! The brisket and pork tacos were absolutely phenomenal—packed with smoky flavor and perfectly tender meat. The brisket sandwich was just as incredible, with juicy, flavorful brisket that melts in your mouth. The sides and desserts were just as memorable. The macaroni and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned—a true comfort food done right. And don’t even get me started on the banana pudding—it was rich, velvety, and the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. Service was great and I would definitely go again!

The atmosphere and service is ultimately the best and I really enjoy going. The food is great too, but can be a little overpriced. The brisket sliced sandwich is smoked and flavored really good, plus you get a huge basket of tater tots that could feed a small army. I know I said it before, but the staff is the greatest and are always super nice. Also I hear the beer selection is great, I'm not a big drinker but they have a huge bar with a lot to select from.

I visited this restaurant recently for lunch with a group of about 10 people, and we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Despite being a large party, everything moved quickly and smoothly, which was a pleasant surprise. To start, we ordered tots and wings as appetizers. Both were absolutely delicious — the wings especially stood out, so much so that I ended up ordering another round just for myself as my main dish. They were perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and just hit the spot. One of my friends ordered the ribs and couldn’t stop raving about how well-cooked and flavorful they were. Service was another highlight of our visit. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, managing our big group with ease and keeping a smile on the whole time. She made sure we had everything we needed without us having to ask more than once. The food came out quickly, which was impressive considering the size of our group. It was clear the kitchen was running efficiently and that the staff cared about keeping things moving. Price-wise, everything felt reasonable and well worth it. The portions were generous, and the quality of the food made it feel like a great value overall. One small note: the salsas labeled as “hot” were actually quite sweet and not spicy at all, which was a bit of a letdown for those of us who enjoy some real heat. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. I would definitely return and recommend this spot to others. Great food, friendly service, and a smooth experience — what more can you ask for?

Very disappointed that I'm just now visiting this place. The food was amazing! I had the three meat platter, which included. Jalapeno Sausage, chicken, and smoked turkey. For the sides, I had the collards, and baked beans. It also came with a few pork skins, which were the best I ever tasted. My advice, JUST GO!

We got the two meat combo platters. I opted for the brisket and 1/4 chicken (white meat) by recommendation and as promised the chicken wasn’t dry. The brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, and pulled pork were standard. The fried Mac & Cheese was one of my favorites here, the jam which accompanied it was something I thoroughly enjoyed - wouldn’t know it was tomatillo unless you told me. Also, coming in from out of town I had to try the sweet tea - wasn’t disappointed. The server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and the food came out quick.

We visited Home Team BBQ during commencement weekend, so naturally, everywhere in the city had long wait times—up to an hour or more. We were a group of five and waited about 45 minutes for a table for lunch. The place was packed, but once seated, the service was impressively fast and efficient. I ordered a dozen Smoked Chicken Wings for my sons, knowing it’s one of their favorites—and it was definitely the right call. The wings disappeared quickly! I went with the Two-Meat Platter (pork and chopped brisket), which was delicious, though I did feel the meat was served a bit cold. Still, the flavors were great. Even my son who typically doesn’t eat much at restaurants cleaned his plate of Fried Ribs—he absolutely loved them. My wife ordered a large plate of tacos, and it was so big it was hard to finish! Another son had Brisket Tacos, which he also really enjoyed. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, a lively atmosphere, and quick service despite the crowd. For that reason, it’s a solid 5 stars from all of us!

Food was good and you can get a plate of sides if youre vegetarian
