a diner from Oklahoma City Oklahoma
I just LOVE this place. I moved from Sumter S.C. in 1990, to Oklahoma City. There is no where here that even comes close to Ward's bbq, hash and rice. All of it is just GREAT. I eat there when I go home, but that,s not often enough. I wish they would start shipping their food.They really are incredible.. If you are ever in the area you should try. I miss home and great bbq.

I moved away from Sumter in 1981 and the only thing I miss is Wards. I've had my sister bring some to me once on the plane, but I would be in heaven if they would ship their products. After all these years, it is still the BEST bbq I have ever had an ...

Wow, the food is wonderful. Great service, friendly atmosphere! I had a turkey cooked by them and it was one of the best we have ever tasted.

a diner from Columbia, SC
Ward's BBQ is the best BBQ I've had in South Carolina and my family & I have been eating there for as long as I can remember. I live in Columbia now and there is no place here that compares to Ward's in Sumter. When I visit my parents we normally have BBQ from Ward's and the staff all know my dad by name. I really wish they would look into opening a place in Columbia.
Thanks for doing a great job!!
