This might be a good drinking hole, but stay away from the food. All three of us ended up getting sick after eating here. We started with burnt ends and sausage. The burnt ends tasted like beef tips with barbecue sauce. They did not taste good. The sausage tasted like eckrich sausage cut and heated up. We ordered a three meat plate, a beef rib plate, and a burger. None of us were happy with the food. It was about 8 hours before we were all sick. We didn’t drink, but they had decent drink specials. The service was good, but doesn’t make up for being violently ill.

As we came in and sat down, we probably waited a good 10mins before we were asked if we’ve been taken care of. My partner was asking if they even realized if we came in and if we should just go try somewhere. I insisted and stayed until Johnny asked if we had been assisted. He explained it was busy. Following his explanation he managed to direct his waitress to us in taking any orders from us.
Lilly was a very sweet, kind, social, and an attentive waitress. Making sure everything was okay. She took our orders and double checked to see if she had our orders right. Very very helpful and reassuring waitress.
I asked for fried mushrooms as an appetizer and half a lb of moist brisket, a side of beef rib. My partner asked for the green chile cheese burger.
———————
The Brisket:
• The briske was not moist. It was dry. Most times you ask for moist and it will be juicy. A marbeling of fat. You have two parts of a brisket.
1.) The point cut, which is the fatty part of the brisket, which is called the deckle.
2.) The flat cut, also known as “first cut”, has the deckle removed, which makes it leaner and causes it to lay flat.
None the less, I am almost sure I got a cut from where it lacks marbling of fat (probably the center between the point and flat) which has a dry taste. Along with texture / consistency – it lacked in flavor. It for some reason lacked a smokey taste like you would taste in Rudy’s brisket yet it has a perfect smokey ring.
———————-
The Rib: No complaints as far as taste and texture. It had a smokey favor, seasoning was delicious, greasy greasy but still rich in flavor. Only issue, it didn’t have enough meat on it but I only ordered one rather than a rack. Could have been the runt of the ribs that had less meat than the others.
————————
The Burger: no complaints at all on this delicious burger. It read on point, juicy, tasty and satisfying. My partner fell in love with it. I couldn’t agree more. 100% satisfied.
————————
Everything else:
Fried Mushrooms: a little over fried. Too crunchy and slightly salty but not bad at all. Still delicious un taste. A little too crunchy but as said, not bad at all.
Fried Okra: I’m not a fan of it but my partner is and I was told that they were delicious. I took a taste. I have to say it read perfect. Not bad at all.
Fries: they were good. Not over fried or under fried. God amount of seasoning.
Coleslaw: not a fan of but it did look good.
Barbecue Sauce: interesting texture / flavor.
Different. It was thick but the taste was not overpowering of spices but it also didn’t lack any spices. Different.
Lemonade: very tart in taste, perfect sweetness. I couldn’t stop drinking it.
Sweet Tea: It was okay. It’s sweet tea. Not overpowered in sweetness but didn’t lack in sweetness. It was as it should be. You could airways add more sugar to your tea to your satisfaction if need be.
————————
Over all, Lilly made up for everything from the point we came in to the food. Her attitudes and professionalism / character was on point. I won’t say that it’s not worth it and I wouldn’t go they’re again because quite honestly… I kinda liked it. The ribs, though… I didn’t get enough. Will be back soon.
Price-wise: descent. But then again I didn’t order a lot like I would have liked to but I’m total. It came out to $42 for all that we ordered not including 20% tip.
The Atmosphere: I totally dig the setting, sitting area and the bar. Not too dark and not at all well lit. Perfect for a place to go and chill and drink with friends or alone. Plenty of TVs all around.
-Bartender: Chose not to drink that day but will be back and see what the Bartender has to offer.

I was there today and I absolutely love this place. It was our first time there. I was always looking for something like this place and I must say that my husband and I would go all the way to downtown for these type of bar/dine kinda place. The server was great, very attentive and friendly. I the regulars were also greeted like if they were long time friends. This speaks good about this business. Will return and I will recommend to anyone. Food was great and so were the prices.

Was actually really surprised to have enjoyed the food! This place was previously another type of restaurant and it was our first time here, waitress was friendly and fast, food was delicious and very filling. My daughter even enjoyed her food! We ordered different entrees but everything was cooked well and the flavors were there. We got the Buffalo cheese sticks and loaded waffle fries for appetizers, I got the boil with spicy lemon pepper, my husband got the pork rib platter and my brother got the piggyback burger. Everyone was too busy eating we hardly talked to each other! Will be coming back! Also forgot to mention Rick the manager or owner of the location, was great! Super funny and asked us if we needed anything.

The food was delicious and the beer was cold. The margarita was also well made. We had the brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwiche with waffle fries and fried okra. The brisket and pork were flavorful and the BBQ sauce and toreados were good. Great job on the food…and service!
The one thing that I would change is the volume of the music. It sounded like a club. They were playing 80s dance music verrrry loud (which I love btw). The waitress couldn’t hear us when we ordered and we had a hard time hearing each other at our table. A young family came in after us and left after 5 min….maybe tge music.

Been wanting to try this place out thinking it might be good, Texas fails again for good bbq or edible… This is my before and after pictures of my plate.
The pulled pork was dry AF no seasoning bland at best looked old.
The brisket was the only thing I finished only because it didn’t look as old but still dry af and no seasoning bland which is a common theme here.
The sausage was the best, I’m pretty sure they were store bought because I’ve had them before.
Coleslaw was cabbage and vinegar that’s it.
Chilli beans bland…. By far the worst yet.
The waiter was nice except she changed me for two flat sodas that me and my wife had 1 sip from and sent back. So that was her tip…

This place was absolutely AMAZING! had a great first experience here overall. The staff were ALL extremely kind and attentive, with a great atmosphere and lots of regulars (which I will be from now on).
My wife and I had some loaded brisket waffle fries to start, and they were to die for. We didn’t even get a chance to snap a pic, they looked so good. The queso they use is clearly homemade and very flavorful, which was a great first sign from the kitchen.
Followed this up with a HUGE burger that I almost couldn’t finish after that appetizer! It was cooked perfectly, had a nice coleslaw on it, and a giant pickle spear (an easy way to my heart). For a side, I ordered Mac and Queso, which was honestly just a great Mac with a bit of a kick. 10/10 would order this side again.
My wife ordered the fried shrimp tacos with the really good slaw. Great taste and great portion, but for us, it was missing a a little bit of a chipotle kick. Luckily, our server came through for us and brought out some Sriracha mayo, which was a PERFECT addition and finishing touch to these. If you order these, I’d recommend asking for the same.
Pricing was pretty average. Not gonna get gouged here, but not getting a super steal other. That’s fine with me, I’ll happily pay for the vibe and the care that the staff clearly put into this place.
Next time I come, I would love to give the wings a try. As far as first impressions go, this place made a great one.

First time eating here and I’ll be back. The food was delicious and their margaritas…the bomb. The service awesome and made us feel very welcomed.

I ordered the Caesar salad and substituted brisket for the chicken. It was good, but I should have stuck with the chicken. My buddy, had the 2 meat combo, and choose sausage and pork. It came with Mac & cheese, fries, rolls and barbeque sauce. I’ll definitely be back.

My boyfriend wanted BBQ and The Pig Pen was the first restaurant I came across. The reviews were really good so we decided to try it out. We ended up getting the waffle fry nachos with brisket as our protein. When you go here you NEED to order this dish. The owner, Rick, came over and introduced himself towards the end of our meal. He was very personable and made us feel important (as did the other staff members). We’ll definitely be back next time we’re out here, to try other menu items. Thank you for the pleasant experience!
