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.

The Smoking Pig in Easley has some really great food. It's really good. But it's also very…read moreexpensive. And that is not a problem really, it's the mandatory tips you have to pay. I always tip when we go out to eat inside a restaurant. Not while going through a drive thru! You shouldn't have to tip just for someone to hand you your food out of a window. And this mandatory tip in the drive thru is multiple choice so the amount isn't even up to you really. I ask for the total when I called it in. What if that amount I was told over the phone was all I had? Would I not have gotten my food because I couldn't pay the tip? It's ridiculous. It's like giving out participation trophies. I don't like it. You shouldn't have to tip going through a drive thru unless you want to.

I know this is going to ruffle some feathers, but Smokin' Pig BBQ was an absolute no for me…read more How this place has so many glowing reviews is beyond me. Let's start with the parking--atrocious. Then the seating inside? Think uncomfortable wooden church pews, and yes, they're just as stiff as they sound. It was packed when we arrived, so the 45-minute wait felt like an eternity. But my friend had been raving about it, and I love BBQ, so I figured it had to be worth it. It wasn't. For three people, we dropped around $70, and I immediately regretted not choosing somewhere else. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly, and I liked the idea of pork rinds as a table snack, plus the multiple BBQ sauces available. Unfortunately, most of the sauces were awful--I could barely tolerate one. Now the food... Lord, the brisket. I've never had brisket so dry in my life. It was dry-dry-dry. I was genuinely offended. When our server asked how everything was, I clenched my teeth and said it was fine, but truthfully I wanted to ask for a refund. I just didn't have the energy to argue. The sides didn't help either. The baked mac and cheese was bland, the Jalapeño Cheddar Grits had zero heat (or jalapeño flavor), and the Sweet Potato Crunch had more mush than crunch with an odd texture that didn't work. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because the service was solid, and I appreciate the staff's friendliness and effort. But if this is considered the epitome of South Carolina BBQ? Yeah... I'll pass. Left disappointed in the price, the experience, and most of all, the food.

Although the portions were a good size, I couldn't get over how the pork was so bland tasting!

Right away, the service stands out. We were greeted and immediately offered a sample of brisket, which set the tone. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the ordering process has a really smooth, well thought out flow that keeps things moving without feeling rushed. We sat on the covered patio, which was clean, comfortable, and a great place to enjoy a meal. Now, the food. This is where it really shines. I'm a bit of a BBQ aficionado, so I'll be a little nitpicky, but none of this takes away from how great it was overall. The brisket was phenomenal. We tried both lean and fatty--both were excellent. If I had to critique anything, it leaned slightly salty, but the bark, smoke, and overall flavor were outstanding. The pulled pork was just as impressive. Tener, moist, and packed with flavor, with no wasted bits. The Texas sausage was incredibly flavorful, though slightly on the mealy side texturally. That said, the green chile cheddar sausage was an absolute standout. Loaded with flavor, chiles, and cheese. A must-order. The sides were the only area that didn't quite keep pace with the meats. The beans were a bit undercooked and lacking depth of flavor. The slaw was fresh and well-balanced, but not particularly memorable. The corn pudding was solid, but again, nothing that stood out. The sauces also deserve some recognition. All four were fantastic, each with its own unique profile. Honestly, I could've just sat there sampling them on their own. They paired perfectly with different meats and added another layer to the experience. Overall, this is an incredible BBQ spot. While it may not quite reach the level of some top tier Texas joints, it absolutely rivals them and stands out as one of the best you'll find outside of Texas.

The crust was so good. The meat didn't quite fall off the bone but was still delicious! The fries were also perfectly crispy, hot, and balanced out the bbq well. They have plenty of seating bunch of picnic tables outside and quite a few tables inside. They also have a bar inside. I wish I lived closer so I could come back more lol I'll definitely have to shop by again next time I'm in the area.
