Thank you!
We had a graduation lunch for a large group here, and the service and food were outstanding! The menu was full of interesting choices and everyone liked everything that they ordered. Kim and team were so kind and helpful as we set up for the...event. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the whole experience. I highly recommend the Pompous Pig for excellent BBQ, either for lunch/dinner, or for special events! Thanks, we will definitely return!More
Thank you, it was our pleasure!
Stopped in for a late lunch. Got a pulled pork sandwich, fries and a drink. Drinks were self serve, placed and paid for order at counter, then a young gal brought my tray to my table. No masks seen anywhere (thankfully). The sandwich was full...but not sloppy, and the port was very shaved very thinly, which means I didnt have to rip it apart, and so the bun stayed intact for the entire sandwich. Fries were quite good as well.More
Great staff great bbq order and pay at the counter as in typical bbq joints. They do more than bbq but the w is definitely the star pulled pork, Brisket chicken is great but not so much sold on the ribs they were average sides...are top flight the menu does vary n offer diff specials always worth a try.More
Thanks for your rating and review!
Went here for takeout on a Monday night around 8 PM since the reviews indicated it was the best place in Anderson for BBQ. I decided to try the 3/4 lb brisket plate. I was honestly expecting better for the price. The brisket was on...the dry side and was lacking in flavor. Good, just not great. What was great was the corn bread, I don't think I've ever had better. The rest of the plate(mac & cheese and slaw) was fine. Service at the counter was swift and courteous. Maybe if Im town again Ill try a sit-down meal to see if it's better, but my experience this time was just OK.More
Hmmm, we're not open on Mondays. Did you go on a different day or was it a different BBQ restaurant? Please do try us again! And sorry we missed responding to your review earlier...
They were out of brisket the day we visited, but we didn't miss it. The combination meals provide a plentiful amount and great sides. Four types of sauce on the table for you to choose your favorite (sweet or tangy or mustardy). Pretty tasty options,...quick service, and refills on the soft drinks via the machine in the dining room. Outdoor dining available. We'd go again. Note: If you use GPS, it is hard to find this location -- turn in at the Mattress company -- the restaurant is on the right side of the same building but is hard to see from the street.More
Thanks for your review, Tammy! We look forward to serving you again, hopefully brisket next time!
When I was driving along the highway I saw a billboard for this place and it was past lunchtime so I decided to give it a try. When I walked in I started to doubt my choice; it looked too clean and nice to be...the type of BBQ place I usually like. I ordered my food and sat down. They brought over a caddy with a variety of sauces and I really started doubting I was going to enjoy this. The food came. The meats and sides were all great. I decided to try some of the sauces even though I am generally not a sauce guy. The vinegar sauce was the best on pulled pork. I am not a fan of mustard based sauces but the one served here is he first one I didn't mind eating. The brisket was also pretty decent. I really like the potato salad here. Not cheap but the food is good.More
Thanks for your review! Glad you found us and enjoyed the food. Save travels!
Came by for lunch while out shopping. I had the rib meat sandwich (awesome, I mean c'mon, it's RIB meat!) and my wife had pulled pork which she loved. But the star of the show was the collard greens...best we've had anywhere. Slightly sweet and...smokey, they were amazing! We got some to go so we could have them with another meal and they were great reheated. Definitely will be coming back here a lot!More
Thank you, Scooter Mac! We look forward to serving you again soon! (BTW, I never liked collards until we started cooking them here!)
We stopped by The Pompous Pig after a week of good food at the beach and found our dinner to be the best of the week. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a good meal. It is very obvious that the owners...take a lot of pride in their business. Everything was very clean and well maintained, which speaks volumes in our present time. If you love good BBQ then this is your place. We can't wait to return.More
Thanks, GS! So glad you found us! We look forward to serving you again next time you're in town.
Very good brisket, maybe 4 ozs.,on a skimpy bed of lettuce w possibly 2 tomatoes slices chopped in for $10.25. I returned home to eat, still hungry. There salad does comes w chz and almonds but I thought the beef would be plenty of protein...so I asked them to leave the chz and almonds off.More
Please let us know any time you're not happy with your food. Your salad bowl should have been full of lettuce and topped with 1/4 lb. of meat (brisket is the most expensive meat option). We would gladly bring you more salad, and cheese and...More
Picked up a plate of BBQ pork and mac n Cheese for take-out. BBQ ws great and the 2 sauces were both good as well. Mac n cheese was tasty. Great Experience
Thank you, Scott! We hope to see you again soon!
Best BBQ that I have had in a while. I am looking forward to going back again this coming week. My daughter loved her sandwich. I was a little disappointed with the sweet potato casserole, it wasn’t quite as sweet as I had expected. Otherwise...it was awesome.More
Thanks for your review! We'll check the sweet potato casserole recipe and see if it needs a bit of tweaking. See you next week!
I love BBQ, but some of it is overly smoked in my opinion. I enjoyed the pork sandwich I got here. The taste was great, with just the right amount of smokiness. Highly recommended!
Thank you, L! We look forward to serving you again!
Food is great but the amount seemed a little light and price went up. I still recommend it to everyone I know.More
Thanks for your rating and your recommendations! We've added new smaller portion options at lower prices, and new menu items like our sliders that cost less than full size items. Due to post-Covid cost increases we did have to increase our brisket prices a little...More
Eat here often and love the brisket. It is always tender enough to cut with a fork. Good sides especially baked beans. Always a friendly staff.
Thank you, Jamie, for your rating and review, and for being one of our "regulars"!
