Everything was delicious as usual. The corn pudding was a delicacy. Daisy (the dog) was such a good girl. I got the turkey (1meat) with two sides. He got a pulled pork sandwich. It came with one side. He got corn pudding. As I've said the corn pudding ran away with it. If you see me there, stop by and say hello. read more

Gracious Pig Smokehouse really satisfied my craving for BBQ! In fact, I ate there twice on my recent stay at Surfside Beach. There is seating inside and outside, too. All of my family members agreed that this restaurant is the tops! The first time I went, I had Meat & 2 sides-Turkey, Mac & Cheese and cornbread-so good! The second time I had Wings that were enormous & very tender, with Corn Bread & Mac and Cheese again. There are a few draft beers- I really liked the Airbtush Hazy IPA, as did a few of my family members. The Gracious Margarita wasn't bad either. Service was very friendly & efficient despite having a bunch of rowdy little kids in the group. The chef came out to check on us both times we came. I highly recommend Gracious Pig Smokehouse and will surely return when I'm in Surfside Beach again. read more

We come back here every time we're in town because the staff are amazing and the food consistent. The mac & cheese bowl with brisket is very good. The smoked turkey BLT a was great. The turkey was moist and tender. My song got two baits and two sides with a pulled pork and smoked turkey also. The mac & cheese was good and the cornbread wasn't too dry. read more

Was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this old-timey themed bbq restaurant and bar! Lots of different options for fresh smoked barbecue! I had the smoked chicken and smoked turkey with green beans and cornbread. The green beans were okay, cornbread was wonderful. The meats were pretty good as well. A little bit dry, but more moist than most other places would serve. turkey was well seasoned, not quite as much for the chicken. However they came with several homemade bbq sauces and a side of gravy that tasted amazing. My favorite sauce was the carolina reaper, had a nice heat and smokey flavor. I did wish that the meats had a more smokey flavor or seasoning to them. It was on the subtle side. Our waitress was very attentive, I dont think my water ever went completely empty that night. Would definitely go again! read more

Service was good but food was simply a let down, I had a group visit all 3 of the restaurants from this ownership group, pizza hyena was fresh and great flavor, chimichanga llama was great and had really good fish and shrimp, unfortunately the bbq was just dry, flavorless and watching them scoop sides from hot trays like a buffet was just disappointing, I highly recommend pizza hyena and chimichanga llama. read more

Great little spot with a parking lot in the back. Breakfast menu is simple with very good portions. Biscuits were big squares and had several house combinations or a build your own option. With a large party there weren't any issues with service. Breakfast is served until noon. In the afternoons and evenings the menu is BBQ based and would be worth checking out. read more

We were greeted right away and seated. Menu is somewhat limited, but we found something that looked good. I had the pulled pork tacos and a side of corn pudding. Good flavor once I added some sauce, which was really needed to add moistness and another layer of flavor. Some of the pork on the tacos was a bit dried out. The corn pudding was moist and tasty. My friend had the platter with smoked turkey and sausage. I tried the turkey which was moist and delicious and my friend said the sausage was tasty. It was juicy and looked like it had cheese inside. The fried okra was crisp and delicious. The decor was simple and country, and vintage country music was playing. All in all, we would return sometime. We have had better BBQ, but our experience was good enough to try it again. read more

Breakfast at a barbecue joint in Surfside? You bet. When you walk in the vibe feels like 1800's mountain cabin style with exposed rafters and old sign hanging on the wall. The servers greeted us and took our orders quickly and we received our breakfasts in short order. We both ended up getting Paw Paw's Big Breakfast which included eggs, bacon, a huge biscuit, and a side. I got grits and my wife got hash browns. Outside of the biscuit being a little dry, and the grits coming with cheese (I prefer grits without cheese), it was a good breakfast. The bacon was the standout for me. Huge, thick slices cooked crispy. Prices were reasonable as well. Good choice for breakfast in Surfside. read more

I was actually blown away by the Shrimp & Grits Biscuit .... I had a friend tell me about that biscuit. I was Leery about how the chef could pull it off , as a biscuit, but it did not disappoint!!! One of my top 3 breakfast dishes I have ever put in my mouth. Everyone was welcoming from hostess to cooks! Made me feel like a regular local & it was my first time !!

Decent BBQ that hit the spot. We started with the Deviled Eggs and surprisingly the brisket paired nicely. I had the brisket and smoked sausage. Both were delicious. The brisket was so tender. My husband had the ribs and said they were decent. We really like all six of their BBQ sauces. We sat outside and enjoyed the live music from next door. We had good service. Thank you, Caroline!! read more

Stumbled upon this tonight for dinner. Not very busy, but we came in late (8pm). Small interior, but cool, rustic atmosphere. Love the industrial, backwoods cabin feel of the joint. Food came quick and service was friendly. Pulled pork and the wings were delicious...but the Brussel sprouts might be one of the best things I've had in a while. They were bangin'!! I would definitely check this out if you are in town. Love little places like this versus some bar full of 20 something's and a lot of loud music. FYI: they do have a bar and adult drinks available. We didn't have any, but they are there. read more

Great location with very tasty food. I'm impressed by the quality of BBQ! Really loved the brisket sandwich and wings. The pulled pork is a bit dry, but with their provided sauces, it's great. Our favorite was the reaper sauce. The bartender is fantastic. He recommended the heat wave and it was delicious- a little spicy but not overpowering or too sweet. read more

This restaurant has the absolute best barbecue in the Surfside/Myrtle Beach area. We had the smoked chicken and pork dish. It was so tender, tasty, moist and plentiful. The Mac and cheese, baked beans and potato salad were equally as fabulous. If you are in this area, GO you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow I am shocked by the 4.4 rating. No way they are rating the BBQ. Sorry guys but if you are looking for great ribs this is not it. Now service was great, staff was pleasant and fast and everything you want good service to be. The atmosphere was ok small inside but seating outside, problem is some of the chairs are metal weird kid chairs not made for us bigger folks. Now the real deal the food best thing was the appetizer, ordered the Brisket Egg Roll and it was a star can't go wrong BUT honestly should have stopped there. Had the half slab ribs and they were dry and overcooked and tasteless with out sauce. Tried all four sauces they had at table and middle of the road at best. (By the way I know Q). The kicking Greens were not seasoned and basically just collards boiled and bitter. The cornbread I'm sure people like but it's just not cornbread it's freaking Corn Cake (that's a play on cake mix in the cornbread) good for the kids who sit in the little chairs I guess. Now maybe people are eating g other things on the menu and to that I say CHANGE THE NAME, when you have PIG in the name you better be able to cook it!!!! Sorry guys loved the staff but epic fail at a BBQ JOINT read more

The wife and I both chose the, 1 meat 2 sides option for lunch, with pulled pork, we also tried the cucumber salad, a side salad and fried okra.

Wow. This had to be one of the worst meals we've had in Surfside. The ribs were tough and undercooked. The brisket was extremely greasy, full of fat and shredded like pork. The squash casserole was stewed squash that tasted straight out of a can with no seasoning. The iced tea was spoiled. $60 including tip. We left still hungry and are now eating ice cream. Never again. To Paige: We told her about the tea and we literally left full plates. It was pretty obvious. read more

Excellent BBQ -- a must-stop in Surfside If you're looking for good BBQ in Surfside, you need to stop at Gracious Pig Smokehouse. The appetizers alone set the tone. The brisket egg rolls were outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and well balanced. The deviled eggs were also very well done. The meats were strong across the board. The smoked turkey and chicken were both moist and flavorful. The brisket came chopped (I personally prefer sliced), but it was still very good and packed with flavor. The ribs had the right amount of pull and chew, exactly what you want. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful, and the smoked sausage was spot on. The sides did not disappoint. The mac and cheese was creamy and cooked perfectly, and the corn pudding was excellent. The potato salad was the only miss for me--the potatoes were a little undercooked and crunchy. The slaw had good flavor but needed a bit more dressing, as it was slightly dry. The standout side, without question, was the collard greens--perfectly cooked, tender, and well seasoned. Easily some of the best I've had. Pricing for what you get is spot on, portions are solid, and the overall quality is there. This is legit BBQ done right. If you want good BBQ in Surfside, Gracious Pig Smokehouse is absolutely worth the stop read more

Came for breakfast. I'd hate to see this place if it's busy. Only 8 people at the restaurant and food arrived cold with eggs overcooked because they were waiting in the window. The avocado toast should be removed from the menu. Spread thin and not freshly mashed. Seemed like it was a preprocessed spread. It was almost gray. The biscuits are good. Maybe this spot is great for lunch and dinner? read more

Service was super quick and our waitress really took her time to explain the menu. Food was average. I got the ribs and thought they were okay but I would definitely get the brisket sandwich next time. The pulled pork was kinda dry for my liking. The Brussel sprouts with queso were to die for but I would avoid the Mac and cheese. Great location and a nice place to meet up with friends when you're craving some BBQ!! read more

The people are super nice. We ordered a lot of food to get the taste of the BBQ. I smoke food at home at least once a week so I'm pretty picky about my smoked food. The pulled pork & brisket were dry and flavorless. Since this was take out we didn't have enough sauce to "fix" the issue. The sauces were all delicious and the smoked cauliflower was my favorite. The size of the full rack of ribs was also off. They resemble a half rack maybe this was just a mix up. read more

Today lunch was a disappointment. I got a rack of ribs and "fall off the bone" ribs aren't my thing but this was way too much. You could not pick up any rib! The bones all pulled away clean and I was left with a plate of pork. I wanted ribs, not a plate of pulled pork. read more

Awesome food and close to the pier. I had Mac with brisket, corn pudding. I ordered deviled eggs and a side of Mac for my grandson.

Realize it was a holiday weekend, but the Mac and cheese as well as a couple of other items tasted a little "off". Later that night, one grandchild got very very sick and my wife and daughter both had intestinal distress. Will not return. read more

We were headed to a restaurant two doors down. I had done my Yelp research and was confident about our decision. We got there and were told over an hour wait. We were hungry and no way the kids could wait. So my family said let's do the bbq place. The inside is small and it was so hot outside we sat in inside ( it was warm too) Looking at the menu there was nothing my picky grandkids would eat. I can't eat beef anymore so I got a chicken salad sandwich. Not an item you want to get in a barbecue place. My granddaughter got chicken and mac & cheese. My daughter got the two choices of meat plate. My son-in-law got a pulled pork sandwich. My sandwich was nothing special . I noticed the only one eating their food was my son-in-law. He had no problem with it. I ate half of my sandwich just because I was so hungry and my daughter said that her meat was so dry. I tasted it and I have to agree. My daughter was a waitress/manager at a barbecue place for years. She knows good barbecue. This just didn't work for our family. The place has good reviews and I'm sure other people love it. So you have to try it for yourself and see what you think. But, I definitely recommend not to get the chicken sandwich. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I love to how you can see the guys in the kitchen cooking and they break into a song together. Looks like they were enjoying themselves. read more

I loved the Gracious pig, service at the bar was fantastic and quick. Smoke wings with their Alabama white sauce was awesome. Their Brisket Sandwich was phenomenal, if I am going to be picky I would have like another piece of Brisket on the sandwich. The brisket was moist with the right amount of fat, light on the smoke. The coleslaw was top notch as was their soda mix. 2 thumbs up! read more
