We tried all the BBQ restaurants in town before finding Smoke and Fire. Their burnt ends are just meat candy. So good. I like the brisket as well. Wait time isn't very long and everyone is always friendly. We go here at least twice a month.

The beef brisket sandwich with two sides was excellent!!! The sides of horseradish coleslaw and sweet potato fries were tasty and went very well with the brisket sandwich!!! Our server Molly was pleasant and very friendly. We will definitely come back when we are ready for more BBQ !!!!!

We were starving so anything would be good....except it wasnt....let me start by saying this was a management disaster not a service disaster. Our server was only 18 and couldnt serve wine...so why would management have her work the bar? She didnt really know what she was doing or anything about the restaurant...but she was very polite and nice which kinda made up for the lack of knowledge....why wouldnt managment train her better? They were out of ribs...in rib country on a friday night?....at least thats why our food took over 30 minutes we were told...worst part is the ribs were dry and tough. Corn was frozen and terrible....potato salad was interesting and solid...there was an interesting ingredient but of course server had no idea what was in it...not sure she knew of there were potatoes in it or not. Hotel person said try them...and we shouldnt have....should have gotten a mcrib for quality bbq and it would have been ready quicker. Managment here is poor and it shows.

First went to CJ's within days of it opening (1989, I believe) and have been trying to duplicate their sauce ever since. There's something special about an unchanged flavor sticking with you over the years...they haven't messed with what works. Always delicious and the servers are always friendly and smiling. And aside from wings, there's plenty of other really good options on the menu (their fried pickles are fantastic).It's a must-stop whenever we're in Columbia.
