Southern style desserts in Orangeburg, South Carolina

Duke's Bar-B-Q, located at 789 Chestnut Street in Orangeburg, South Carolina, is a renowned family-owned restaurant with a rich history in the world of South Carolina BBQ. Established in 1955 by Earl Dukes, the restaurant has become a staple for those seeking authentic, old-school SC BBQ.

The current owners, descendants of Ann and Harry Ott, Jr., continue to uphold the tradition of serving delicious BBQ using the same old family recipe passed down through generations. The restaurant offers a simple yet satisfying menu featuring pulled pork with thick mustard-based sauce, hash, rice, coleslaw, and pickles, all served on long picnic-style tables. Guests can enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet and homemade dessert offerings in a no-frills, nostalgic setting.
