I was visiting a friend in Raleigh and she talked this place up like it was the end all to be all of barbecue joints. Well, it isn't. I've had barbecue 1000 times better in Michigan of all places (for example, US 31 Bar-B-Q in...More

5 reasons not to eat at this dump 1. They served us pork that was bad. It tasted bad, it smelled bad and after I decided not to eat it I see the cook and owner talking about bad pork in the kitchen less Tha...More

Very good East Carolina BBQ and Fried Chicken. Hush puppies, Cheerwine baked beans, and Mac n' Cheese were all delicious. Not legendary BBQ but very good southern food. Service was great!

This used to be one of my favorites at the old location. On my last trip I was less impressed. The pulled pork was a bit dry and not as good as I remembered it. The ribs were tough and not to my liking at...More

We were looking for a place to eat and the pig at the door caught our eye. The atmosphere is quaint and old timey. Everyone is friendly and the place was really clean. I mean really clean so when you have a kid who likes...More
