Super friendly service. Delicious food. Relaxed atmosphere. This was our second time to eat here. Better than we remembered!

Wanted to grab a bite on the way… Had to come back in and get napkins, because I didn’t have any. If you’re hungry and want to grab a bite, bring a plate! I also had to spit out my BBQ sandwich and throw it away because there was SO MUCH FAT!

Very casual and friendly service. They sat and chatted with us for our meal and were wonderful with service. Food came out very fast and it was perfect.

Service is very friendly! Owner, Phil, always makes you feel welcome. His Brunswick stew is very tasty, and the pork is tender and juicy!

We have been looking for some little hole in the wall resturants since we moved here. Finally found this and turns out it wasn’t fat from home. GREAT BBQ! We ordered a pork plate, I got the stew and slaw, husband got stew an greens. Didn’t even wait til we got home to try it, the smells were so good we immediately grabbed a small bite before we left. Friendly staff and customers. Small dining room area but that was okay with us, and the prices were very reasonable!

1/9/21: Still great, small bbq sandwiches. Full of pulled chunks of smokey, slow cooked pork with just a bit of a mild sauce on the meat. Never any extra fat. Brunswick stew is the old fashioned thin, watery variety but tasty and full of meat. And when you buy a “quart” they actually give you a quart. It’s mild, but you can taste the smoke in the meat. A lot of corn. A medium amount of tomatoes. No Iima beans that I notice. A tiny bit too much vinegar today. On the whole it was great as usual. Friendly atmosphere. Nice folks. No masks, no distancing (and ‘dining room’ is tiny). But, I’ll go back (with my mask).
1/2020: Went by last week, about 4 p.m. and door was locked. Hope all is well.
Great bbq. I eat here regularly but always do take out. It has the atmosphere of your utility closet. Sauce is confusing, like they forgot half the ingredients, but good. Mild. I’ll bet this is someone’s old family recipe. Nice family.

The Hickory Pig is a fantastic place to get the best BarBQ in the state.
If you visit, you will be entertained by many of the regulars with historical stories and a well founded advice on legal issues, family relations, political disertations and just plan fun.
All of these discussions are orchestrated by the owner ,Dr. PHIL.

Had heard great things. I didn’t go in but my honey did. Their food is much different from other SOUTHERN BBQ places. The food was.. unexpected, I guess. Maybe we didn’t know what to order. … Also VERY PRICY. Couldn’t get this food very often anyway. As I’ve heard good things.. I might would try again.

Don’t let first impressions be your guide. Despite the fact that the building looks like the Big Bad Wolf could blow it down and still have breath left for birthday candles, this place is a gem in the rough. The BBQ is done on site. The pulled pork is moist and tasty. The ribs are smoked close to perfection. If you like BBQ, this place is a good choice. My wife and I had pulled pork sandwiches, chips, and cokes and were out a total of $11. THEN Phil gave us two ribs and half of a milkshake. I’m having ribs next time!
But don’t go just for the food. Go for the show too. Phil and ‘Lil Bit’ welcome you into their restaurant like you’re a long lost friend. We were there for 5 minutes and engaged in conversations with a retired Marine pilot, a former cop, and some other random local. Phil provided an ongoing stream of conscious output of stories and humor while Lil Bit was his cohort in crime. This is old school hospitality that is hard to find. The only things missing to complete the ambiance were a pot belly stove and a pickle jar.
Good food, good times…going back there soon!

I love this place. Phil is really friendly. He’ll talk to you about making barbecue or probably about anything else. The rest of the help (one woman is the only other person I can remember seeing there) is friendly.
The pulled pork is the best I have tasted in North Georgia, bar none. It’s smoky, it’s as tender as it could possibly be, and applying sauce is up to the customer. This is how it ought to be done. There are sweeter sauces and hotter ones to choose from, all good. The sides are good too, but really I’m all about the meat when I go here.
This place looks pretty humble from the road, but the great barbecue places often do.
I first tried this place after seeing the Atlanta Magazine write-up online. I thought surely some writer from down in Atlanta wouldn’t know squat about good barbecue, but I guess that one did, because this place is tops.
If you’re driving far to get here, just make sure they’re open before you head out. They have somewhat limited hours.
And oh yeah, in case you haven’t read anything else about this place, you add up your own bill from the menu board. If you don’t find that old-fashioned and charming, suck it up, because the barbecue here is more than worth it!
