We don't rush the fire. Every cut at Stick Burning BBQ is low-and-slow over real wood, crafted for people who know the difference between cooked and truly smoked.
Stick Burning BBQ Company started with a simple belief: if you're going to smoke meat, do it the way that takes time. We fire up the pit every morning and let the wood do the work — no shortcuts, no rush, no compromise.
Located on Main Street in the heart of Columbia, our kitchen is where traditional Carolina barbecue methods meet a modern, welcoming space. Whether you're joining us for a quick plate after work or settling in for a long evening with craft cocktails, the smoke is always fresh and the hospitality is genuine.
Host your next gathering in our smoke-filled dining room. Custom menus, dedicated space, and a team that handles every detail.
Our bar leans into smoky, bold flavors — bourbon selections, house-infused spirits, and cocktails that match the pit.
Bring the smoke to your event. We cater meetings, celebrations, and everything in between with full-service BBQ platters.
No reservation needed for a quick plate. Stop by Main Street, grab a seat, and let us handle the rest.
I've eaten BBQ all across the Southeast, and this is the kind of place that makes you pull over on the way home just to stop by again. The brisket is unreal.
We hosted our anniversary dinner here and the whole experience was perfect — the smoke, the cocktails, the warmth of the room. Felt like somewhere special.
The ribs fell off the bone and the bourbon selection is seriously impressive. This place has soul. It's become our go-to whenever we want real food.
Whether it's a weeknight plate or a weekend gathering, there's a spot for you at Stick Burning BBQ. Walk in or reserve ahead — either way, we'll have something fresh off the smoker waiting.
