Wonderfully eclectic barbeque joint that has stood the test of time for over 40 years. The Brunswick stew is delicious, but so was everything we ordered. The ribs had a nice smoky flavor and fell off the bone. The pork was good as well but seemed more pulled than chopped as it said on the menu. The red vinegar sauce is a Georgia specialty and like my grandaddy used to make.
Time for dessert. The banana pudding and peanut butter pie was packed to go and thoroughly enjoyed a couple hours later. We browsed the t-shirts and found a nice soft pink one, after all it's the Pink Pig. I ventured around back to check out the smokehouse and cooker and came away impressed top to bottom with the whole operation. We're big fans!

I have to say I am dissatisfied with this place. They advertise smoked BBQ but I to save my life couldn't taste it. Now growing up around BBQ I know how it is supposed to be done. I have cooked many 1000s of pounds with my father an award winning BBQ cooker. I have also judged many competitor events in my area. So I am making this judgement on my experience. The meat didn't have the bark that smokeed meat gets to it. Also there were no signs of smoke in the meat. I always order my meat anywhere without sauce on it. This allows me to taste the meats flavor and to see is the smoke in the meat, I didn't taste it there. I however, did notice in the sauce a hint of liquid smoke, a trick used by some to give the taste of fake smoke to the meat. The rest of the food was good. Amazing onion rings and impressive size of them. The staff was very friendly and take care of their customers. Oh and I walked around back and there was no smoke coming out of the smoker on a side note. To me that just shows I am possibly right on the lack to me of the smoke flavor.

We ordered brisket and was surprised to see shredded beef on our plate. They said that was how they served it. It looked and tasted like pot roast and was very greasy. The service was great. The sides were ok.

Delicious ribs, BBQ pork sandwiches and fries. Everything that the whole family got was really good. Everybody enjoy their food. We had Ice cream on the way out and it was pretty good. Give a try.

I had the brisket and pulled pork combo meal and loved it. Others in my group had the fried chicken and they enjoyed it allot. The waitress was great too, we had some fun with her. We definitely will return next time we visit that area.

Meh, not impressed. After a long day of exploring, hiking, and waterfalls we decided to stop for a bite. My yam fries were very dried up, crusted, old looking and the lady said she would bring some extra sauce and did not. The BBQ was ok, the tea was good, and the brisket tacos were very good.

The food was amazing. The staff was awesome. The atmosphere was family friendly and rustic. The BBQ was off the chain. I highly recommend the oink Onion. You will not be disappointed. This will definitely be on the destination again. Est 1967

We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch and are so glad we did! It's a charming place...from the decor to the friendly staff. There's quite a lot to choose from on the menu, and what both my husband and I had was delicious! And the desserts...oh my goodness! The peanut butter pie and blackberry cobbler were divine. Everything was very clean, organized, and we couldn't have felt more welcome. Would love to visit again when we're in the area!

We took a trip out to blue ridge and decided to try the pink pig from the reviews online. Very cute little huddle and was wonderfully decorated inside. Host was rude and was to get us drinks we waited 10 min while watching her play around in the kitchen and ignore us. Finally a waiter name Tim came and helped us he was very sweet and super busy. He was the only one working while the other girls messed around in the back.

Food was not great. Brisket was chopped up and not fresh. I got taco brisket and it was greasy and messy. Bad bbq

As we were leaving we went to the front to check out and was ignored there as well. I stepped to the side and the lady asked if she could help me. I asked where we paid and she finally helped us and we went on our way.

Service is what made it not enjoyable.

Well what a disappointment. Food quality was poor. Some of it tasted like it was straight out of a can. Do not recommend.

This was our first time here. We will certainly be back. The servers and front staff were very friendly. The food was great with generous portions. The ribs were fantastic and the pulled pork was tender and full of flavor. The only complaint I would have is the 3.5% fee added on to credit card purchases.

I loved this place because of the family style atmosphere and friendly folks. We stopped to eat with our family of 7 before heading to the blue ridge mountains. I enjoyed a brisket sandwich, everyone's food was delicious and served in a timely manner. There was a small gift shop with plenty of t-shirts and trinkets plus a sweet little walking path with inspirational painted rocks that my niece and nephew just loved. The path is up the stairs bring rocks to trade!

Everything was awesome... Except the pork bbq. That just gets two or three stars, not sure what happened given the place has pig in its name and everything else was so good. Litterally the best sweet potatoe I have ever had, possibly the best in the world! I recommended it to a vegetarian friend and she loved it. Baked beans were awesome, and the banana pudding looked amazing. The staff was excellent, attentive and on the ball. And the vibe was very cool, my kind of place.

I'm just disappointed with the pull pork, I've routinely made better in a crock pot.

Good service, but food is subpar. The pulled pork and brisket was very dry. Ribs were ok. Nothing spectacular. Given the portion sizes, the price is a little on the high side.

If you are visiting, save yourself the trip. Not worth it.
