LTC Hospitality Services — the group behind downtown restaurants Smoked, Good Life Cafe, and The Grand — shared renderings of the new 518 Smokehouse expected to open in fall 2023.

The new BBQ restaurant will be located at 673 Chapin Road, just outside of the downtown area.

In addition to the BBQ, the new restaurant will also feature live music, a family-friendly atmosphere, and foods sourced from local farms.

This will be the group’s first restaurant outside of Columbia in the quickly growing Chapin area.
