K J's Wings & Ribs — Restaurant in Sumter

We ordered take out here. The owner was friendly and quick, but this is not a family place, i would recommend takeout only if you decide to try it. The inside is very small and not much to look at, looks like a dirty night club with a mitch match of decor scattered about and black plastic table cloths. Honestly, doesnt really look like a sanitary place to eat , but he has a large smoker grill out front rolling with a nice smoky barbecue aroma so we thought we would give it a try since we had already placed our order. (( I have found that sometimes some of the best barbecue can be found at the smallest hole in the wall places))...so we paid and took our food home. The ribs were good, tender and nice smoke flavor, the sauce tasted like a store bought sauce brushed on. It would be better without that sauce or either served just on the side. But none of us cared for the hash and rice. It had large chunks of fat in it and had a slighlty sweet flavor reminiscent of pork n beans. We also tried the hot wings.

Support local! Went here for ribs as I was craving ribs, and the reviews drew me to the place. I ordered the rib plate, but since I only wanted ribs, the first option, Rib Sandwich, made sense as suggested by the owner. I paid $18 because I ordered 2 orders of the rib sandwich. One to satisfy my craving and one for later midnight snack 😄. The meat was cooked right (first time trying southern bbq, so maybe my opinion doesn't hold merit yet...haha). •Will I go again? Yes, I would. •Did I eat in? No, carry out. This place is more like a one-man show, so I wouldn't eat in unless the gentleman who served us is okay with it. I do not know if there will be a table service if you decide to eat in. •Payment options? CASH ONLY. He does have drinks, Pepsi...

My first time eating there was this past Friday. It was a little bit of a wait, given as he appears to be the only one that cooks, prepares take out, dine-in and checkouts. Other than him being shorthanded on help, the food was the best I've ever had, in terms of barbecue. I've been calling over the course of the last few days to get takeout, but there's be no answer and I haven't spotted him outside on the grill. Looking forward to...
