The burgers are made fresh and have some really unique topping combinations, so there are plenty of options if you want something besides a basic cheeseburger.

Belvis burger is our go to burger. The burger of the month is blue cheese bacon with fig preserves. I usually prefer savory over sweet, but the combination is magical. We added in loaded fries. Help yourself to the cooler of beers or drafts. We never leave without buying a bottle of their jerky sauce, sweet with a little spicy. We plan our travels to make sure that we make to Neon Pig whenever possible.

Barbecue is a personal, spiritual thing, best prepared by masters who take pride in their work, who express their knowledge in every bite. Clay Coleman's place and his products are an authentic representation of the very best the South has to offer. This is legitimate barbecue, carefully created and served with pride by a man who knows exactly what he's doing with the sauce, the seasonings and the smoke. Don't miss it. read more
