Real BBQ. Real reviews. Real smoke.

"The ribs are the real deal. I've had BBQ all over South Carolina and Smoke It Up is in the top tier. The smoke ring, the bark, the tenderness — it's everything you want. Drove 20 minutes to catch their pop-up and it was absolutely worth it."

"Catered our company cookout for about 60 people and they knocked it out of the park. Smoked chicken and pulled pork, both incredible. The crew was professional, on time, and the food was gone within the first hour. Booking them again for our fall event for sure."

"That peach cobbler is illegal. I don't know what they put in it but I've come back three times just for the cobbler. The pulled pork sandwich is also insane — the sauce is perfect. Smoke It Up is the kind of food truck that makes you follow them around on Instagram."

"Best BBQ truck in the Midlands, period. Pulled pork plate was $12 and it was stacked. Meat was fall-apart tender and you could taste the real wood smoke in every bite. Not that fake liquid smoke stuff — actual smoke. I respect that level of commitment."

"Caught them at a pop-up near Farrow Rd and I was skeptical at first — I've been let down by food trucks before. These guys are the real thing. Nachos with pulled pork on top were absolutely loaded and the chicken plate was spot on. Will be tracking their schedule every week."

"Hired Smoke It Up for my daughter's graduation party and I got nothing but compliments all night. The full rack of ribs was the showstopper — people were talking about it at the end of the night. Great price, great people, great BBQ. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in Columbia."
