Cute local spot. Staff was super friendly. Food was OK. Love that there was 1/4 rack of ribs available on the menu. Minimal sauce choices, and all seemed rather spicy. read more

I used to love pig n steak, but the last time I tried it wasn't that great. Given this was a few years ago, we tried again. My kids were really hungry and I was craving a Philly cheesesteak. I decided to give it another go. The people were very polite and helpful as usual, the service is always nice. Always good people there. My son got a chicken sandwich which was tasty. I was told my wait would be 15 to 20 minutes. It was in reality about 40 minutes. I got a ribeye sandwich to go. When I got home literally like 90% of that sandwich was fat I actually had a hard time eating it. I was a little disappointed, but it happens. The fries were hot and crispy. The coleslaw was delicious. I do recommend going and giving them a try. Their barbecue is always a big hit! read more

Really enjoy this place! Wonderful service. You'll feel right at home here. The folks are super, and a nice family restaurant. It's been in business 37 years, and can see why. What I call this is a genuine restaurant, as while it's not fancy, that's what adds to its charm level. Will absolutely be back. The pork barbecue with two sides, is what I'll recommend. You get high quality pulled pork, and macaroni and cheese is wicked delicious. The fries are alright. These portions are quite large. You'll be pleased by this restaurant, and they have an extensive dessert menu. If you're in the area, this is a smart choice! read more

True down home cooking and venue. I had the chicken fried steak special, which came with delicious whipped potatoes and gravy. I got collards for my side. They made a perfect 50/50 sweet tea/unsweetened tea mix. The steak was good but the ambience was even better. Dress code was jeans and ball caps worn indoors! read more

Pig 'N Steak - Chicken fried steak special - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Virginia

Fair local joint the server was friendly and made suggestions. Felt like most of the items were made in house or for the house anyway. Low volume so they don't prepare everything to order Heat and eat. But was all pretty good and hot when served, On a slow Monday night. Few choices in the area so would probably go back when in the area. Wife got collards fried chicken Mac again all hot when served. I got pork bbq slaw beans. All hot when served. Bbq served plain with sauce choices at table. The bbq seemed to have a fair smoke. But the cookers out back seem abandoned must do it somewhere else. Hope this helps. read more

Service was great, atmosphere was good, but the food is nothing to write home about. Don't expect the best BBQ, you'll unfortunately be let down. Steak (requested medium) was brought out well done, mac and cheese was pretty flavorless and the pulled chicken was overcooked and not flavorful. read more

We've been here a few times over the years. It's a very low key, casual place. They serve good BBQ food here. They do have other options, so you can bring the family. read more

A bit of a mixed review for the meal. Positives: neat place, friendly staff, I liked the chicken sandwich and baked beans. Slight misses: large hush puppies that were a bit dry, collards could use a little more seasoning. I'd be curious to try some of the other items. read more

Pig 'N Steak - Pulled chicken sandwich, collards, and baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Virginia

Simply terrible and not worth the money. We ordered brisket and Mac n Cheese and both were dried out and essentially tasteless. Even smothered with barbeque sauce it still was inedible. Save your money and go to McDonalds read more

Currently disputing a charge with my bank from this place after the manager said she refunded the charge after me and my family did not like a single thing we ordered. We returned the whole order basically untouched, she offered a store credit but we do not live in the area so I asked for my money back.. she was hesitant but agreed however she never did it so now I'm disputing with my back. the food was not good in our opinion and management dishonest. Do not recommend read more

First time here, stopped in for lunch while we were in the area. The restaurant was rustic and nicely decorated. Clean and quaint atmosphere. Serving staff was very friendly and efficient. I got the pork BBQ sandwich platter which was served with 2 sides. I chosee mac-n-cheese and coleslaw. The Sandwich was piled high with moist, tender pulled pork. It was yummy! The coleslaw was creamy & delish. The Mac-n-cheese, umm... it was probably the worst I've ever had! Not much taste, hardly any cheese involved, and sitting in a pool of grease. yuck. So, go for the BBQ. Skip the mac&cheese. read more

Pig 'N Steak - Mac&Yuck - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Virginia

Locally owned establishment which has been there for 36 years. Friendly staff and old school charm. Great as take out or dine in . Family friendly but also has a full service bar. Food melts I. Your mouth. We are partial to brisket but can't go wrong w chicken, beef or pulled pork. Too a menu to order take out in future! read more

The service was great. I wish I could say the same for the food. My fries were cold and tasted like air--could have used some seasoned salt or something. This is February and I wondered why it was so cold in there and EVERYONE was wearing their coat. Maybe that was why the food was cold--it happens in a very cold room. Must have been about 50 degrees is all. Very uncomfortable eating in a deep freeze atmosphere. Also, it is very over-priced for what you get. It might be a good place for MAGAs who don't know the difference ! LOL. I'll try it again on a summer day when I want the AC to be on full blast. read more

My wife and I were driving by looking for lunch and stopped here. The pork sandwich had good flavor but was very dry. The collard greens were cold and seemed to be out of a can. The max n cheese was cold and old. Very gross. The bbq sauce was bright red and strange. All this was also very overpriced. The people working were very friendly though. read more

Quiet and unassuming but I expected more from a place in business for 35 years. We both ordered the brisket. It was sliced thin like bacon slabs and quite frankly was not very flavorful. I am used to brisket served in thick cuts and should fall apart with your fork. Was quite disappointed. The mac and cheese was a travesty! Don't know what happened but it came out more like cream of corn than mac and cheese. Honestly...it was watery and no taste at all. If I ever go back I'll try the ribs or the pulled pork cause my meal today was not good at all. read more

Pig 'N Steak is a great place to eat. They serve giant portions! I got a cheeseburger, bbq chicken sandwich, mini corn dogs, and the rib eye sandwich. Below is a review of each item: Cheeseburger-6.6/10 BBQ chicken sandwich- 8.7/10 Mini corn dogs-8/10 Rib eye sandwich-8/10 read more

This restaurant represents the heart of Madison. I've been frequenting Pig 'N Steak from the age of 8, and I've always loved it. Whether it be the Mountaineer platter, the ribs, or their steaks, you will not be disappointed! read more

Food was ok, had brisket sandwich, very tough. Wife had pit beef wasnt bad. Wait staff very good.

I give 4 star to this little gem. Its a small town bbq restaurant. The ribs were amazing. They use Carolina style BBq . We met the manager Trish and she was absolutely amazing and extremely friendly. The restaurant was clean and menus were wiped down. We will be back when on vacation! read more

When you want some good comfort food, check this place out. Southern meals in a country style setting.

This is a hidden gem in Madison County! This little greasy hole in the wall produces some of the best bbq around these parts! We make it a point to drive an hour just to eat here for birthdays now, special occasions, or to get a group of our biker buddies together and just enjoy a ride and some good food! The portions are big and trust me you better be hungry if you dare order a large fry!!! The sauces beat any that we have eaten anywhere else! I buy them in styrofoam containers to go when we visit! We love the sauces that much! You will not be disappointed if you come! Best sweet tea we have ever tasted too!! read more

Honestly, I came to check out Pig n' Steak out because of their cute little sign (it has a pig in a tutu and a cow in a tuxedo) AHAHAHAHA The hubs and I were in the area, and we decided to make a little stop at Pig n' Steak for a quick dinner. Owned by John E. Lohr, the menu offers homemade sides, fresh-cut steaks, pit-cooked beef/chicken, ribs, sandwiches, burgers, and platters. We tried the Pit Cooked BBQ Brisket (that was a featured as one of their specials; this was our least favorite as it was thin-sliced fatty brisket with pink edges and was flavorless; even adding sauce to it did not help); 1/4 Rack Ribs (hickory-smoked) with a scoop of Pit Cooked Pork BBQ (the ribs were very soft, and it had a drizzle of a sweet bbq sauce on it (that I wasn't a fan of); the pulled pork also had no flavor like the brisket, and adding sauce didn't help it either; we were able to choose 2 sides, and so we tried the baked beans (which was thick and hearty) and the macaroni salad (a little on the watery end, but had an okay flavor to it); and, a Rib-Eye Steak and Cheese (4 oz 'cutlet' of a ribeye, with mayo and grilled onions; this was my favorite of the night because I love a good steak and cheese; this really hit the spot, as the ribeye was very fresh, had a nice amount of melty cheese and grilled onions, with the mayo all pulling it together; the Kaiser roll that it came with could have been another type of bread, as it was just a little too dry and overwhelming for the sammy; this came with a side of kettle chips that were a little stale). Their home-brewed sweet tea was refreshing and not too sweet and washed all the food down well. I am not sure if I'd go out of my way to come here, but if so, I'd get the Rib-Eye Steak and Cheese on another type of bread, and try out their charbroiled steaks. The restaurant itself is like a saloon and very old-school, with the wooden booths. Just a note - there were lots of flies inside, so it was a little annoying try to swat away while eating! Service was super friendly, and there is additional parking/entrance in the back. +Rib-Eye Steak and Cheese (opt for another type of bread) :D +Sweet tea +pit cooked bbq forgettable T___T +hickory-smoked ribs forgettable T___T +friendly service :D +additional parking/entrance in the rear read more

If you are on Route 29 in VA and starting to wander through the Blue Ridge Mountains.....or going to Charlottesville.....or going to the Shenandoah Valley......STOP HERE AND EAT. This place is about 90 miles from downtown Washington, DC. They specialize in BBQ pork and steaks...duh. My favorite is the pulled pork sandwiches. This is the real deal. Good ole basic southern pulled pork. Why 4 stars instead of 5? Hard to justify driving out here ..200 miles roundtrip...just for pulled pork....but if you are in the area sightseeing during the fall...this is a Yelper must stop. Any place with Mr. and Mrs. Pig on the logo can't be all bad...... Summer Hours: Mon-Thur -- 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Fri & Sat -- 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday -- 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Winter Hours: Mon-Thurs -- 11:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Fri & Sat -- 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday -- 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. read more

Good place to get some BBQ if you are passing through, especially after a hike or swim - Old Rag or White Oak Canyon are two of the best trails nearby. I wouldn't drive too far out of my way to eat here, but if you are in the area it's a good local spot with decent grub and laid back atmosphere. Get the sweet potato fries! read more

Service is always pleasant and accommodating to patrons. They make a killer mountaineer burger, the bbq is good, hush puppies and slaw are alway a favorite of mine. This place has been around awhile and I'd suggest you stop in and try it. The prime rib dinners alway look amazing coming out of the kitchen. read more

The Pig and Steak is a quiet old hamburger stand looking facility. The staff was very nice when we walked in and we quick to take our drink orders. It is a sit down restaurant or you can order at the counter. There is a mini bar that is well stocked...or maybe it's a liquor store hard to tell. They offer three large flat screen televisions which means you should be able to see any game from anywhere in the small dining area. The food offered is everything from hamburger, hot dogs, chicken and "pit" barbecue (I am from Texas and you generally can smell the pit before you walk in, we didn't smell any pit) and pulled pork. They serve Pepsi products, ices tea, lemonade and root beer...plus the bar mentioned earlier. They have homemade deserts but we didn't have any. The brisket is definitely not the kind you get in Texas, more Carolina. The sauces were very vinger based which is more east coast. The bed of french fries were okay, but clearly straight from freezer to deep fryer. Overall it was okay, I would need more samples to give it more/less than average. read more

Stopped here along the way to Charlottesville. Simple, no frills place with good bbq. It's all cooked to order so not a "fast" food option but also didn't take very long. The baked beans were awesome and good portions of everything. Very pleasant service. read more

The barbecue pork was extremely dry and bland. Also they messed up our order so it was disappointing to get home and realize that. Had to wait 10 extra minutes than they said for our food at take out. Nothing special here. read more

Food was honestly not good I could cook better at home but it was cheap so I guess you get what you pay for The cooks did not wear mask and neither did the majority of patrons. The wait staff did not enforce the mask policy. I won't be back read more

Food is good depending on who is cooking. It's a gamble, prices are decent. Restaurant could use a face lift

A great place for ribs and very generous portions! Relaxing, homey atmosphere. Not fancy but clean and welcoming.

If I could give negative stars I WOULD! I'm sorry, but I seriously am sitting at this restaurant and made this account just to type this review. Let's start with the food first. I ordered the pig n steak platter. Pork sandwich came out cold. But when drowning in some type of sauce. You didn't seem to notice. Mac and cheese is probably the absolute worst I've ever had. The noodles are the same texture as the cheese with no flavor. The collard greens were tasteless as well. Has to drown them in their vinegar bbq sauce to give it SOME flavor. The hush puppies had absolutely no flavor I had to dip them butter to somewhat soften them up to be able to eat. Seriously, this ended up being a $45 meal of worthless S#%! I highly recomend spending your money somewhere else. read more

Delicious food and cold beer! I always get the 50% beef and 50% pork burger. 100% worth it. I have never finished a "half ordrer" of fries. It's just more than I can eat in one sitting. read more

I can admit that over the years I have become a food snob, but this place was pretty bad. The steak was very bland, the ribs were fatty and bland as well (boiled?) and the salad was straight out of a bag. For the first time in several years, I actually used A1 on a steak. Outback divided by 10 and that place is only average, but the same price. read more

Pig 'N Steak - Best part of the meal and they were not great - Barbeque Near Me - Madison, Virginia

I don't have the highest standards for bbq. Most of it passes muster because I love it so much. I smelled the smoker outside this place and got really excited. I ordered ribs, mac n cheese and green beans. You know its bad when the best thing on the plate was the canned green beans. The ribs tasted boiled, fatty and flavorless. My wife's bbq sandwich was overly smokey - which I didn't think was possible. Avoid at all costs. I wish I would've gone to the McDonalds next door, which would've been more tastey and not cost over $30. read more
