We got the quarter pound hamburger and a half pound hamburger with fries, and two plain hamburgers with no bond for my puppies. The food was excellent, cooked was really good on the hamburger is very large. They are pet friendly, sitting on the outside porch had both of my four babies with us, they brought us water for the dogs, they delivered to the porch that we were sitting on. Don't be afraid of the long line, it moves, and it moves fast. Highly recommend this place read more

The food was OUTSTANDING!! The meat was juicy and delicious! Only negative things: they don't offer a sweet hickory sauce.

Good bbq, I like to go on wkends for the ribs and whole smoked chicken. Both are really good. Love the hot bbq sauce also.

Big portions. Fair price. The epitome of southern barbecue. Fried corn side is a must try. Baked potatoes, tater tots fried okra mashed potatoes. It's all delicious. I just wish their hours were more flexible to the evening right now. They close at three every day. read more

I want to tell you to stay away and leave this place for the locals but I can't do that. This place is AMAZING! Everything I have ever gotten from here has been nothing short of delicious. The food is always hot and fresh, the workers are kind and welcoming. This place is the epitome of small town dining with a welcoming feel. Absolutely love this place and go any chance I can! If you don't know what to get, my go to is the Buffalo chicken tater. read more

Food was good Service exceptional Ambiance...very country Husband ordered the Big Ed and wow was it big. We heard (but cannot verify) that the Sandman is even bigger. He probably won't have much for dinner. He gave it 3.5 stars overall. I had a pulled pork sandwich special (#3) and it was ok. The fries are not my favorite by a long shot, but they are fresh and their sauces are good. Everyone here is friendly and makes you feel like you came to a friend's house for lunch. read more

Bbq sandwiches are off the chain, and the fries get it all together. If it is your birthday you can possibly get a dessert on them. Highly recommend whistling pig in pine mountain. read more

These people know BBQ. I am thankful to the local/regular who suggested I try the steak fingers. Oh my. They are like chicken fingers' fancy older cousin. Served with white gravy. I loved them. So good. And I tried my husband's pork sandwich which was excellent. Handmade fries. Yum. This is where the locals eat. And there must be something magical in their pork rinds - people were walking out with armfuls of them. We had breakfast at UniquExpressions and lunch at Moore's: it was a great day of eating in Pine Mountain. read more

The food was amazing! Some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Cool place in ambience. The service was excellent too.

Got recommended to try out this place while at work in LaGrange. Omg. A little bit of a wait for friday lunch.... It was worth it! Pork sandwich and fries were awesome!!!! Great sweet tea & pork rinds. They put a gracious amount of their delicious sauce on my sandwich. read more

Moore's Whistling Pig is in our opinion the BEST BBQ around. The service is ALWAYS the best with a smile. We love looking at all the cool items on the walls. The have different specials every day and they are as good as everything else the have!!!! They are always clean from floor to ceiling!!!! 10 read more

I honestly don't know where to start with this one! Being from Florida where the barbecue is mostly mediocre chain restaurants I was left speechless. Don't let the size of this potato fool you I almost ordered two because I was so hungry and did not even finish one but it was not from a lack of trying it was very very good. This was just some good Ol bbq with a small town ambiance that you can't find in a city. read more

Love this BBQ place. Brunswick stew is awesome. Ribs are juicy, smoky, and barely cling to the bone. Fries and onion rings are crispy, crunchy, and delightful. Ribs on Saturday only so get there early. read more

If you think the best barbecue is always found in the worst part of town, in a place with bars on the windows and just enough grease on the table to write your initials, then this is probably as close as anything you're going to find outside East St. Louis. What this is, is The Whistling Pig which, as the menu says is "just south of Downtown Pine Mountain, Georgia." Downtown Pine Mountain? Never mind, where is Pine Mountain, Georgia? A lot south of Atlanta and just outside the front door of Callaway Gardens. As someone who has spent a lifetime in pursuit of the perfect barbecue (read 125+ Yelp reviews covering barbecue joints from New York City to San Diego), this is the real deal with a couple of nits to pick. Let's start first with the meat: The Whistling Pig (or, as folks there call it, "The Pig") is known, very well known, for their pulled pork. This ramshackle hole in the wall great barbecue joint has a world class pulled pork sandwich piled fairly high on a sauce soaked bun. It comes with skinny hand cut fries, cooked to order, (the way they're supposed to be... the crinkly ones are almost always frozen some far away lace and then quickly deep fried or, worse, polished off in an oven before they make it onto your plate). Now here's a negative: Ribs. Don't know how good they are, because they only cook and sell them on Friday and Saturdays. And, as you'd expect, they're closed on Sunday. Another other beef: Beef. They don't have brisket the way most barbecue joints do; they have very thin sliced beef. Dry, and from all appearances, certainly not brisket. Maybe because brisket takes 12 to 14 hours to barbecue right. Whatever the reason, the Brown Shoe Gourmet had a beef with the beef and ended up going straight for the pulled pork sandwich. The final beef? They close at three, so late lunchers and those who just happen to drive by after 3 are out of luck and miss some good 'cue. They also offer hamburgers, Buffalo chicken, hot dogs, and country fried steak fingers. No sure why, but they do. And their Brunswick Stew is good, not quite up the standard sent years ago by Harold's (RIP) near the prison in Atlanta, but still real good. Sauces? You want to know about sauces? The house sauce is a combination tomato and vinegar; good but not as good as if it were one or the other. Sides include pork rinds (which you ought to include) three different kind of beans starting with string and ending with pinto, fried green tomatoes, some really good potato salad and the fresh, hand cut French fries. Get your drink at the dispenser and nobody seems to care if you get refills. Still hungry? You may also want to try their homemade desserts; their buttermilk pie, long thought to be extinct is as good as most any dessert you'd find most anywhere. The ordering line starts almost at the door most days. The woman taking the orders when we invaded had a tee shirt on that said "Southern Girl" and she certainly was a great example of that. The service was fairly quick and the folks friendly. They sell their tee-shirts for $12 (as compared to the record high $23 charged by Scott's Whole Hog in Atlanta) and how can you not at that price? For someone who has spent a lifetime in search of the perfect barbecue, this isn't it... but it's darn close and their pulled pork sandwich makes it work finding "just South of downtown Pine Mountain, Georgia." Four Stars. Five stars when ribs are available during the week and when they add real brisket. read more

I only had time to sample the pulled pork sandwich and a bag of their salt-vinegar pork skins. All I can say is I wish I was going to be here another day because if everything else is a good as what I had.....Well, I bet it's the first place I stop if I come back to Pine Mountain. The place is simply one of those old and worn-out-looking joints where the owners are much more concerned about the quality of their food than the look of the restaurant. It sure works for me and if this part of town seems threatening or something to folks, they sure don't want to go to some of the BBQ joints in the big A area. Service at the counter was simple and direct. My food was ready to go in like 3 minutes and this at the 12:20 lunch rush. read more

Great food! Awesome and quick service! My kids rated it 5/5! We had a cheeseburger, chicken tender plate, and the Q-tater. Yum!!! It is your typical small town barbecue joint with checked table clothes and pig decor. Loved it. read more

The food was good and the atmosphere had a small town feel where everyone knew each other. Had the pork sandwich and the rib plate special with fries. The pork was juicy and flavorful and the ribs had a dry rub on them that had good flavor. I wasn't a fan of the bbq sauce that came with it, but it was on the side so worked out good. Would definitely come back and eat here again. The service was great and everyone was friendly. read more

So yummy, we went three times while in town for five days! BBQ Sandwich was the bomb!

Fast service and great food makes this a go to place while on vacation. I had a stuffed potato (not sure if that's the correct name) but it was delish, especially with the pulled pork on it. I came with a party of nine and everyone loved their food. Very affordable and the sweet tea is perfect. read more

Extremely close to Callaway Gardens, Moore's offers a great variety of southern BBQ and other lunch staples (burgers and chicken). I had the rib plate with potato salad, hot and sweet beans, and fried green tomatoes. All of the above were good. My wife had a pulled pork sandwhich that was also great. I throughly enjoyed the variety of BBQ sauces they had (traditional, spicy, Alabama white, & Carolina mustard). read more

It's another local hot spot. Anything you order you will love. Customer service is top notch. Maryann who takes the orders is amazing, efficient and she even knows what we like with whatever order we get that day, we're there at least twice a week. Oh and their tea is AMAZING! read more

TOURISTS BEWARE The food here is actually pretty good. . And there aren't many choices around, it's a small town. That being said our concern was safety. It's is a small older place packed at lunchtime today when we stopped in on our way back to our hotel. It's not the most spotless place anyone has ever eaten at, but what caught us off guard was the owners wife. Another group of tourist were behind us and she delivered their food with NO mask and then preceded to tell them how "my husband tells me I have to wear a mask, but I refuse. I'll just shut the place down or go home". Luckily our food was delivered by a waitress wearing a mask. She then went on to tell the same group how the health department wants all employees to take a $350 class, which she also hasn't done nor plans on doing for the whole staff because she said it's a waste of money and "common sense stuff" we thought it was common sense and health sept regulations for all servers to be wearing a mask, but I guess not. Makes me really wonder what the kitchen looks like. We finished as quick as we could and left. read more

The best of authentic Georgia BBQ. It's always a wonderful surprise to find great Southern BBQ in small towns. This one is a real gem. Be sure to get a bag of fresh made pork rinds to go. Highly recommend the chopped pork sandwiches. Soooo Goooood. read more

Absolutely the best BBQ in town. Great people, great food, great atmosphere. You can learn local history just sitting at your table. The pulled pork sandwich is one of the best Ive ever had traveling all over the world. Makes your mouth water when you step into the building. Absolutely a must in Pine Mountain!!! read more

Yum, yum gimme some. There's a reason this is the highest rated Pine Mountain restaurant on Tripadvisor. And it's not just because there are only a handful of restaurants. It's a hole in the wall and they close early but there food is sooo good. The chicken is a bit dry but the sauce selection makes it tasty. I mixed the spicy and the sweet. The sides are to die for, especially the fried green tomatoes. The prices are cheap compared to Atlanta. There are a few BBQ joints in the area but the Pig's food was so good, we tried to eat there two days in a row. But then I would've had to walk home to burn off all those extra calories. As an aside, people were dressed in their Sunday best carrying out giant bags of fried pig skins. Odd.. but whatever floats your boat. read more

We were there one night during the week. Enjoyed it so much we made sure we went back before we left the area. Definitely a favorite of the locals. Food was very good as well as the service. We highly recommend!! read more

Good local option for BBQ if you are in Pine Mountain and wanna venture out from Callaway Gardens hotel dining.

We are never disappointed when we eat here. My favorite place to eat period. Wonderful family owned business

We had brunch here on our last full day in the area. My husband and I both ordered the rib plate that came with fries and slaw. The ribs were good with a good smoky flavor but I wish they had been cooked a wee bit longer. But I guess that's really just a preference. The fries looked like they were going to be nasty, like they had been cooked in old oil but I was wrong! They were sweet and flavorful, don't know how they achieved that color and retained the fresh flavor but I luved them! The slaw was creamy but not overly mayonnaisy. I just made up that word. The decor is lacking and everything looked like it needed a bath. But if all your interest in is great ribs, you will enjoy it here! read more

If I could give it ten stars I would! Hands down, my favorite place to eat in Pine Mountain. Excellent everything! The food is consistently yummy (check out their smoked chicken salad...mouthwatering!) ... tastiest bbq in town, love the fried corn on cob, fresh sweet tea with big juicy lemons, Mrs. Suzy's delicious potato salad....I'm getting hungry just thinking about all the options: grilled cheese, thick burgers, flavorful barbecue. You name it, they've got it! On your way out, grab some big bags of pork skins (rinds, however you call them) in regular, salt ' vinegar, hot bbq or sweet bbq flavors. I take bags to work lots of times and my fellow nurses are always clamoring for more! This charming little family- owned and operated business is one of the few places I can't find anything negative to say about! Service so friendly, you feel like you just got to your mama's house to sit down for a meal with your kin (Southern-speak for family)! If you can only eat at one place in Pine Mountain, this is the one! read more

My favorite place to get ribs and I would recommend Whistling Pig to take care of your rib fix.
