And the bracket winner is… City Limits Q, voted best BBQ in Columbia by our readers and social media followers in our COLAtoday BBQ bracket.

City Limits Q isn’t a quick in-and-out lunch spot, it’s a BBQ experience. Similar to spots like Franklin’s in Austin, TX, Soda Citizens and BBQ tourists from around the Southeast line up at City Limits Q to get a taste of what the buzz is all about.

Led by James Beard Award nominated pitmaster Robbie Robinson, Soda Citizens have been fanatic about his smoked meats through the years as it’s operated as a food truck and is now in its brick + mortar spot in West Columbia, that opened about a year ago.

Give our bracket winner a follow on Facebook and Instagram and plan a trip to stop by the WeCo favorite.

We want to extend a major “thank you” to all of you for participating in our bracket challenge over the past few weeks. We’ve had a blast seeing how the votes shook out, and we hope you did too. Looking for more BBQ restaurants around town? Check out our guide.
