Our first time here while driving through Denton, Texas. A quaint and eclectic place with inside and outside dining. The establishment was clean and cozy. We ordered their St. Louis Style Ribs, Brisket, Pork Rib Tips and Original Sausage. Our sides were their Smoked Mac & Cheese, Cranberry Walnut Slaw, and Southern Green Beans. The meats were cooked very well and tender, they had a nice Smokey flavor and rub. We favored their JP BBQ sauce over our meats - it was on the sweeter side with a good "tang" to it. The Southern Green Beans were average and not overly salted. I really like the slaw that had a sprinkle of cranberries and walnuts in it - very different but it worked! The Smoked Mac & Cheese had a nice flavor to it, nice and cheesy with just the right hint of smoke. Overall, we enjoyed the meal, the service, and the ambiance. We would definitely come back to this place. read more

The Juicy Pig is a great resource for those people who are interested in seeing how they can make fine dining experience happen, with repeated clarity of purpose, which is to be one of the best restaurant experiences in Denton County. You guys rawk, period. Cheers, Mark C. Fearing, Ph.D. read more

food: Ordered a plate with ST LOUIS SHORT RIBS (3) and SAUSAGE (traditional) with Mac n cheese and a side of beans. overall a great filling meal. the meat fell right on the bone. flavor was good. they had a bbq sauce which I thought was slightly needed. nothing mind blowing but very good. service: Nice workers! ambiance: Indoor and outdoor seating. more outdoor seating than indoor. very casual spot. read more

Pretty small bbq restaurant, parking is limited and seating inside is limited. They have a few tables split between the front of the building and the back of the building. We ordered pulled pork and smoked turkey and potato salad. The pulled pork was decent but I've had better even in Denton. The smoked turkey had very small hint of smoke. I personally like it with more flavor. They did give a generous serving of the food. The potato salad was really good though. It was by far the best of the meal. read more

We catered from Juicy Pig for my son and daughter-in-law's welcome event near Valley View. LeAnn, their catering manager, was personable, helpful and overall easy to work with. The catering staff arrived when they said, friendly, helped with serving dessert and did a good job cleaning up. Everyone especially loved the sliced brisket and smoked Mac n cheese. The smoked chicken and potato salad were also well enjoyed. Some folks commenting some of the best bbq they've had and most everyone is from Texas so that says something. read more

Bbq was costly and very dry.. sauce was cold on the side. Flies everywhere while you're trying to eat. Out of half the menu on a Friday evening for dinner. Not the best experience... food was fast to arrive and the side dishes were good. Likely will not be back. read more

Good barbecue, good service. A little expensive compared to other local barbecue spots. Small seating area.

If Denton had a crap bbq spot, it would be better than suicy pig. Two families own almost every restaurant real estate spot in Denton. This place is one of them. The only competition was ran out by raising the rent so high, they had no choice. To this very day Denton still has NO bbq. read more

Outstanding bbq. The jackfruit was a stand out for me. Excellent taste and texture. Hint of sweet but perfect. Sliced brisket very good. Great smoke rings and flavor. Ribs were a 10! Green beans on point. Habanero sausage was enough to make your nose drip. Loved it. read more

Missing a sauce was the only problem I've ever had here! Get the Dino ribs on Saturday while they last! I wasn't able to score a pic of the food since it all went so fast (my teenager wasn't about to wait for dad's photoshoot and the wife doubled down on GET TO EATING)! But when I say everything was just what we needed, I don't say that lightly. They had run out of a few items by the time of evening we went in, but even still they did not disappoint! It's important for me to have a go-to bbq spot that doesn't use Hickory thanks to an adult allergy I was cursed with a couple years ago! The inside is small but you don't need to be in there long anyways. It's run by a great group of adults and teens that genuinely give a hoot about the food and your experience. Go and get it! You won't be let down. read more

Loved the food and loved the vibe! This place had a great menu and the food was delicious. Outdoor space was awesome and indoor space was cozy. Juan took great care of us and walked us through the whole menu since it was our first time. read more

Good spot in Denton with a a small inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Bbq was decent but a lot of people were ordering the bbq tacos

I've been driving past this place for years and always say I was gonna try it. Well me and the Hubbs finally decided ti try it out. You can order inside or out. There is I think one table and a bar style table with tall chairs that faces out the back window. It smells amazing, the bbq smell slaps you across the face when you open the door. We both ordered the Turkey Palooza Sandwich and two drinks. Be prepared it is expensive.. but good golly it's soooo goood! The meat just falls apart and melts in your mouth. There are I believe 3 different sauces you can choose from and we tried them all.. all were good. Just be prepared that the prices are high.. but you get hogh quality meat with really good flavor! We will be back again soon. read more

Really good authentic bbq. When I visit Denton, I'll go every night. Solid bbq!!! Say hi to Steve, the owner.

Here we are about a year later still driving up to Denton to get our fix for brisket, sausage and those green beans. Secret tip: They have a combination sort-of pickled red onion with little slices of jalapeno as one of the baked potato sides; Get a half-pint. Eat it with or without any meat you can think of. Have beer readily available. Prepare to go back and order more! read more

Nonsense, straightforward BBQ. With the right smith of smokiness to it and their JP sauce to accompany. The team is super nice, with a big easy smile are ready to help newbies like me decide. Grab your food and head to the picnic tables outside and enjoy the day.. giving you an easy countryside feeling of dusty roads. read more

Grabbed lunch here with a couple of coworkers. They have no indoor seating and in Texas that limits a comfortable dining experience. The BBQ was good but not great. There is a lot of good BBQ in the area. The service was good. read more

Not sure how this place gets bad ratings. It's small. It's expensive, however it was really really good! Had the sliced brisket, sausage and Mac-n- cheese. All three were outstanding. It's small portions but I can understand that right now with the price of beef. This place is a real deal bbq place. I will be back! read more

came here with a friend while visiting from the east coast and we had a great lunch! the jackfruit was literally melt in your mouth and the mac was great as well. staff was very friendly and it was an unexpected treat getting to enjoy a piece of 'texas cuisine' as a vegetarian!! :) read more

Juicy Pig is the best BBQ in Denton... hands down! I do not know of a better spot for BBQ in Denton. This small counter service bbq joint is a great place, north of the square in Denton on Locust St. Don't drive by it! Juicy, smokey, flavorful brisket that melts in your mouth. Habanero sausage that isn't too hot but packed with flavor. Sides like your mama made, all of them are good. Get here on Fridays and Saturdays for a huge beef rib! The seating is a bit limited, especially if you want to sit inside, but the outside is nice. There is a huge mural on the wall to check out and may lead to some interesting conversations. I see a lot of orders to go as well. The Juicy Pig serves up some delicious BBQ and is my place to go when I want to cure that craving. read more

The bbq was good. I had bbq ribs and brisket. Both were good. And they were open on a Sunday.

I was getting my guitar re-strung at Sky Guitars and it was going to be a bit as they were backlogged. The two guys working suggested two spots to grab a bite and here's where I came. I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich and I have to say, it was pretty much one of the best I've had. Highly recommend! read more

Super friendly staff - delicious BBQ - cooked with love that we could taste! Brisket & ribs were outstanding - we will be back

Juicy Pig is my go to Texas BBQ when I am in Denton. Beef brisket is my favorite with baked beans. I recommend this restaurant!

Pretty decent barbecue place in Denton with quick and efficient service. The best at the restaurant was definitely the St. Louis Style ribs, the habanero sausage, and their barbecue sauce. The sides were very disappointing though other than the beans, and I definitely would skip on the slaw and gumbo. read more

We were very disappointed by the food today. Ordered a whole pig combo plate with ribs, brisket, sausage, with mac and creamed corn on the side. For 30+ dollars, the portions were much smaller than expected. The meat was very average. Ribs were OK in terms of flavor, but dry. Brisket was dry and not flavorful. The habanero sausage was the favorite out of everything, with a good amount of kick but still not the quality I'd expect with what I paid. Sides were very sad. Mac and cheese had no flavor, and the creamed corn was straight up watery. Was not a fan of the deviled eggs. All in all not a great experience... read more

The brisket is outstanding, and there is a good range of other meats to choose from (e.g. pulled pork, ribs, sausage) if you are not a brisket person. The sides are thoughtfully chosen and sneaky good. I am from NC and would put Juicy Pig's pulled pork sandwich w/ cole slaw up against anything you'd find in NC. Also, great ambience and a very friendly staff. It's a comfortable place to relax with a beer and a good meal. The interior is a little small, so if it's hot or cold I would advise going at off-peak hours to ensure you get an inside seat. read more

I ordered the half rack of ribs. I want to say the food was cooked beautifully. The meat was tender and hot.. but there was no flavor other than pepper. It tastes like they cooked it, then added the pepper before heating it up and sending it out. It's so overwhelming that it made me not want to eat the food. Shame read more
