Perhaps we expected more from all the hype this place got. Being a northerner we came to try the BBQ what we got was watered down sauce for the pulled pork with bone pieces in two of our meals. The outside was a plain brick building w little signage. Inside was a less than desirable outdated, local decor. Coleslaw bland,... More

Pigs R Us (Checkered Pig) in Martinsville, Virginia, is a locally owned and locally grown BBQ restaurant. It is a classic BBQ place with pork and chicken, smoked slow, each day.

I have had several meals from Pigs R Us, and have found the food to be very good. In addition, I and have served it to several customers. The pork BarBQ is cooked well, and served with a couple choices for additional sauce. The side are tasty, but basic. A must have when in Martinsville.

I ordered the pulled pork and it came with hush puppies, baked beans, green beans and potato salad. For dessert I had the peach cobbler with ice cream.

Fantastic food! Personalized service! Very good experience. This place looks like a nice hole-in-the-wall, but as soon as you walk in...It's ON! You can tell by the smell that your meal is gonna excel! I had the Tom's Jumbo Barbeque Sandwich and it was amazing! I highly recommend this place and I WILL be back!

Pigs R Us catered our soccer team's dinner. They catered for 80 people and had excellent food and service. The barbeque was a super hit - I can see why it is a Martinsville institution. I'd recommend them for any event.

This restaurant has been featured nationally, and if you visit you will see why. The food, the customer service is always so consistent, time and time again....

Great, fall off of the bone ribs (most of the time). I really like the hot slaw most of the time too (sometimes it is pure pepper). Wait staff is usually very nice.
