Ribs are very tender, but almost no flavor from smoke or seasoning...not even salt. Turkey and brisket were dry. Pulled pork was also flavorless. Two of our party received a complimentary case of diarrhea with their meal.

Can't say enough about this place. We stopped here, because we wanted BBQ while on a road trip…read moreand this was close by. We were greeted and seated immediately. The bartender suggested a watermelon wheat beer after asking what kind I normally drink, and it was a perfect pick for me. Loved it! The beer was cold and refreshing. The food was fantastic. We ordered the pulled pork platter. The food came out so fast, we were shocked. It was hot and delicious. Tender, flavorful bbq, with two sauces both of which were very flavorful. My husband's baked beans were so tasty, I wish I had ordered some. The cole slaw was definitely made in house and was some of the best I've had in a while. Will definitely put this place on our list to stop again when we are passing through.

The best BBQ in Johnson City!…read more The location is what you'd expect from a traditional BBQ joint - nice big tables/booths. Some TV's for sports etc. The food though is what is beyond amazing - the pulled pork and the brisket are my go-to's. Their sides are also fantastic - collard greens are literally to die for, the cornbread pudding is delectable, and they have the best vinegar cole slaw I've ever had. Make sure to get the banana pudding if they're not already sold out!

Brisket burgers are bangers too . Chicken breast are very tender , juicy and full flavor . Pizza did I mention they have pizza , yes pizza and it's not to bad . I could list literally everything from the menu after several experiences it would be a book . I have literally had everything on the menu over the last 2 months while in the area . If I didn't have to worry about my weight and had the money I could eat here everyday without issue 4.5/5 stars

The placed closed at 6 and we barely made it on time. But the people working were awesome.We didnt want to eat in because they already had the chairs up even tho they told us we could. We got 4 hot dogs ( 2 each ) Slaw,Chili and so mayo and mustard. i will say the Dog was PERFECT and alot of slaw as well and it was tasty. Me or my wife was not a fan of the chili it was more like hamburger tbh. Didnt have a chili taste. But other then that we loved them the nachos. Well they were nachos but they give you a large cup of chesse and chili and you can get sour cream and anything else. my son loved them tho. All and all its a 4 outta 5 just cause the chili. Place was SUPER clean tho

We picked up a rack of ribs from here, and a side of Cole slaw. The service was very kind, prompt, and professional. I love how they asked about the sauce on the ribs or on the side immediately!

We went Last December and it was pretty good. good for group…read more However, we went this last weekend. it was horrible. they change the menu without price $$ on it. Order chicken bbq sandwich is worst of all bbq because it is no favor. Sauce was watery and no favor. We can tell that potato salad is coming from food store preparing box. they aren't serve blackberry tea anymore. My husband tried to order rib and they aren't have anymore. Mac cheese was bit overcooking. my daugther order grilled cheese and it isn't good. i can do it better at my home. What happen??? seem old employees are not there anymore. We won't come again. Restroom isn't handicapp friendly.

We recently visited Red Pig BBQ and had a pretty mixed experience. The BBQ itself was decent,…read morenothing that blew me away, but definitely solid. The twice baked potatoes were also good and probably one of the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, things went downhill with my sandwich order. It was made incorrectly, and when the issue was brought up, I could hear the owner in the back insisting that it had been made correctly. After two employees checked the receipt AND the sandwich, it was remade. On top of that, there was some uncomfortable tension as the owner was openly arguing with staff members while customers were present. Overall, the food was okay in parts, but the service and atmosphere really took away from the experience. Definitely not a place to dine peacefully. Which is sad because this place has been a staple bbq place in Johnson City forever.

On our most recent trip, we sat outside and had excellent service. The food came out quickly, which was a nice surprise, and everything was on point.

The place has a very cool, eclectic vibe with a unique atmosphere, plus a solid beer selection to round it out. Great spot overall--highly recommend.

My wife and I ordered from Pho Lao Kitchen Der for takeout. We are quite versed in Thai cuisine,…read morehave only become interested in Vietnamese cuisine in the past few years, but are completely ignorant of Lao food. The portion sizes here are huge! Here was our order: -Shrimp Salad (Summer) Rolls: 10/10...the rolls were twice the size of rolls you get at other Thai places for the same price. But with the peanut sauce, they were transcendental. That peanut sauce could be bottled and sold en masse. So so so good. -Papaya Salad: 7.5/10, very refreshing, but with a secret hit of spice on the back of the palate that wakes you up. Crisp, fresh, healthy. -Larb chicken: this was a first for me....to my unrefined palate, it tasted almost like ground chicken cooked with pho spices/herbs. I ended up drizzling some of the leftover peanut sauce on the chicken which was amazing. Again, lots of protein and vegetables, perfect for health-conscious folks. 9/10 -Pad Thai: this is my wife's safe order that she always uses as a litmus test for restaurants, and it did NOT disappoint! She said this was her favorite pad Thai EVER, and with drizzles of the extra peanut sauce and lime juice, this dish was truly elevated. 10/10. -Mango Sticky Rice: 100000000/10, my lord I don't know how I lived my life without this. It's reminiscent of peach cobbler in my opinion, but with mango. The sweetened rice isn't overly sweet, which allows the sharpness/sweetness of the mango to shine. The mango itself was perfectly ripe, whereas most mangos tend to be sickly sweet and mushy from overripening. All in all, this is our new favorite for Thai cuisine in Tri-Cities, and my introduction to Lao food was beautiful and filling. We will absolutely be back in the future, as I'd love to see how Lao pho differs from Vietnamese pho. Plus the mango sticky rice is etched into my mind permanently.

Amazing taste. You will understand as soon as you bite into a piece. Personal were also very kind.read more
