The place is nice. It wasn’t what I was expecting when thinking of BBQ, but it’s amazing. The people are nice and the food is fire! The portions are good for price. I originally thought the price was a bit much, but when getting the portion it makes sense.

Friends have told me about The Pig – so today I decided to go for it. I ordered takeout pulled pork and hush puppies. The pulled pork was great, while some of the hush puppies tasted like catfish… You don’t use the same dipping batter or frying oil for both, do you?? I think someone did today….The four stars is for the pork!

First time here and first time trying “North Carolina” bbq. I had the pulled pork, hush puppies, and fried okra. The pork was excellent and definitely a different flavor than KC or Memphis style bbq. It was a bit tangier, which I liked. I did try the bbq sauce, found found that the pork was tender and flavorful enough I didn’t need the extra sauce. The hushpuppies . . . I’ve never seen them like this (I’m used to the round ones), but these ones tasted better than others I’ve had. I also really enjoyed the fried okra (the okra wasn’t mushy; I could still tell it was okra). The mound of sliced pickles they give you is also unique. They’ve got a dill flavor, but with some added sweetness that I didn’t hate. Would definitely go back and try some of their other options.

Tried the pulled pork platter. Got additional brisket and a side of fried okra. Everything was good but not exceptional. The hush puppies and coleslaw were very unique and were my favorite parts of the meal.
The pulled pork was tender and moist and went very well with the vinegar bbq sauce, however, the brisket was not good. Perhaps just a bad day. The fried okra was prepared well but had some sort of spice dusting added that I did not care for.

The hush puppies are good! I had the beef brisket platter with yellow coleslaw, and potato salad. It’s self-serve and they interesting items on the menu.
They have Louisiana, Texas and Vietnamese-inspired items.

This was a recommendation from the book Where Chef’s Eat and WOW we were not disappointed. Dare I say, that portion of pulled pork was perfect. No notes. The fried okra? Divine. Perfectly crisp and seasoned. And if you’re a fan of pickles, this is your place. Pickles are served as a side. Like, a pile of sweet, crisp pickles (see photos). Food is affordable and portions are generous!

The brisket was so tough, grey and overcooked and they tried to mask it with the sauce. I was not impressed it was like trying to eat beef jerky. For the price of the brisket plate I would expect way better.

Every bite of it was good. The bbq sandwich was tangy, the hush puppies were thin and crispy, and the mac and cheese was hot and flavorful. This was the sandwich and two sides— each of the sides were big enough to share.

05/26/25 update- We came back to try their Viet-inspired menu including the crispy pig ears, viet pork cheek sandwich, and bbq banh mi tacos. Everything was delicious! The pork cheek was tender and succulent. The pig ears were addictively crispy. The bbq tacos had a viet nuoc cham sauce and salsa verde on it, which gave it umami complexity that is hard to describe but enjoyable.
They also a freezer with their house-made meat products like bacon and ham.
The bbq plate hits the spot. I get their sandwiches for takeout. So far, the bbq sandwich, Reuben, and Carolina cubano have been excellent!

No frills BBQ. You come for the meat, period. I got the pulled pork platter with pickles and coleslaw, and asked for the collard greens in place of the hush puppies. Loved everything except for the coleslaw. The flavors were fine, but I couldn’t get past the minced texture. I felt like I was eating pre-chewed coleslaw. But I wouldn’t hesitate to come back here. The meat was tender and delicious, with no fat or gristle. Hubby had the pulled pork sandwich (he said the minced coleslaw was fine in the sandwich, by the way), and a side of the beet and blue salad, all of which he enjoyed.
