They offer a sample of their brisket. It is important that you say yes. :-) I got the 3 meat and side option. Around $30. Ribs - fall off the bone good. No sauce needed. Pork - excellent. Very smoky. Legit. I did use a little sauce - really just to try the sauce. I preferred the mustard based sauce. Brisket - fantastic! A near perfect brisket. Highly recommend.

For some reason, they delivered mine in a takeout container. They offered to put it on a plate after they gave it to me, but I was hungry so I said it's OK. Will not be returning. Quality and quantity of food did not justify the price at all.

I know this is going to ruffle some feathers, but Smokin' Pig BBQ was an absolute yes for me…read more Let's start with the parking. We pulled in, found a spot immediately, and somehow survived the ordeal. Then the seating. My wife and I managed to endure the horrifying experience of sitting on a wooden bench while eating amazing barbecue. The restaurant was busy, which I foolishly interpreted as a sign that people enjoy eating there. As a couple, we spent around $50 and immediately regretted... not ordering more brisket. I was genuinely offended by how quickly it disappeared. The sauces were terrible if your goal is choosing just one. I kept going back for "one more taste" until I had sampled all of them multiple times. Now the food... Lord, the brisket. Moist, smoky, and somehow the complete opposite of everything I was warned about. The mac and cheese was great, the baked beans were great, and the sweet potato crunch actually had crunch. The only reason I'm giving this place five stars is because Yelp won't let me give six. Left disappointed in only one thing: that I don't live closer.

We came from Clemson to attend a play in Pelzer and decided to have lunch here first. It is not a destination restaurant. The menu is very chicken heavy. Started with 8 smoked wings as an appetizer, bbq sauced with a side of hot sauce. Received 4 bbq wings and 4 hot wings. Now the wings were smoked nice and very good. Both ordered half-and-half tea. I received unsweetened. They had meatloaf as a Sunday special. I got it, mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread, and a side salad. The side salad was really nice and worth ordering. The cornbread was jalapeño cornbread, but not described that way on the menu. The mashed potatoes and gravy should not be ordered. Period. They were both reconstituted, fake and a tiny portion. The meatloaf was a good size portion, but tasted like a seasoned hamburger. Thankfully the bbq sauce on the table saved it. Her chicken salad sandwich was good and a nice size portion, but again it was different than described on the menu. She said it tasted like smoked chicken. The banana pudding was very unremarkable but looked nice. We might give it another try if we're in the area and hungry,but it's not in the "let's remember this place" list.
