    This was an unexpected nice surprise. I am somewhat fussy about BBQ and this restaurant did not disappoint! The menu options were plentiful, the service was great and the food itself was wonderful. I ended up ordering the Kansas City Plate, because I was not massively hungry, but wished I had ordered a bit more because it was so good. I really enjoyed the 6 or so BBQ sauce options (we only had 4 at our table, so i nabbed a few from an unoccupied table :) ) The Pit Potatoes were the bomb, so don't miss that side option!

    Traveling to Austin for a January getaway, had to try Piggy's after reading the reviews. Very glad we did as we had a tasty big meal and capable service. They were busy on a Friday evening but we were seated and served up beers and spam fries appetizer promptly. I like Spam so I enjoyed the unique "fries" with ranch. For an entree I had the shredded pork (delicious), coleslaw and incredibly delicious cornbread. Honey butter too! Piggy's homemade sauces were great and fun to try. I liked the gold, bourbon and jackass best. My husband had ribs, beans and cornbread and finished every bite. The space was comfortable and fun to read the sassy signs (which were for sale). Also liked the nostalgia signs and items. Place was clean and family friendly. We were too full to try gelato. I would definitely recommend Piggy's for barbecue. Get the cornbread-you won't regret it!

    We love to visit crazy places around the US and the SPAM museum has been on our list of places to see for some time now. But one thing they don't have there is lunch - unless you count getting some a can of SPAM from the gift shop and going to town on a bench outside. But they do have a recommendation and that was to Piggy Blues, right down the street. Piggy Blues is a barbecue place and I love barbecue but I was there for something much different - SPAM. Because unlike the people in the Monty Python skit, I like SPAM, SPAM, SPAM and SPAM. So there. We went in and sat down and grabbed a menu and...what the French, toast...there was no SPAM. When our server came over to start our drink orders I told her we were there for SPAM but didn't see any but she quickly hustled-up a menu of only SPAM-centered items. SPAM fries, SPAM burger, 3 piggies and a SPAM Po'Boy. Oh yeah. My poor wifey is one one of those low-carb Diest so she got a SPAM burger without a bun. It was a piece of fried SPAM with cheese on top. But I went whole hog (hehe) and got the SPAM Po'Boy and it was really, really good. If you like SPAM, of course. Thick cuts of fried SPAM and all the other things you'd expect on a Po'Boy sandwich. This was also served on a pretty delightful French too with that great crust that has a crunch but a soft, wonderful interior. Yum-o! There was also a surprise in the package, fries. But not on the side, these were in the sandwich. That just added fuel to the fire, folks. Goooood stuff. I can't speak to the barbecue at this barbecue restaurant but the fact that they had home-made sauces is a good sign. But if you're in town for SPAM and you want a mouthful to go with your eyeful, you could definitely enjoy yourself here. Oh, and I loved all the silly decorations all over including all the Kellogg's cereal memorabilia.

    Look at all those sauces! Something for everyone!

    Holy cow! Holy pig! Piggy Blue's really knocked our socks off! It was somewhat busy, but they were attentive and super pleasant! Definitely a small town BBQ "joint", and they're doing it right! We knew it was going to be good when we walked in and saw the first sign of a good bbq joint- a roll of paper towels on every table. Calli had brisket and pork, with pit fries - the meat was smoky and tender, and über tasty! Pit fries are potato slices, cooked perfectly with crispy, salty outsides and tender insides - amazingly well done! My sandwich was called "The Queen Of Memphis", and was absolutely the best sandwich I've had this year! Tender pork, coleslaw, tomato, onion, a seared beef patty and pepper jack cheese - damn tasty all the way to the last messy, delicious bite! We finished with a slice of Key Lime Pie - which Calli immediately pronounced to be the best she'd ever had right after her mother's homemade pies - that's high praise! "Best restaurant key lime pie ever!" was the final verdict. Katie was our server, and she was fantastic! They had eight sauces to choose from, and they were so good that we ordered an extra basket of pit fries just to sample all of them several times. We enthusiastically recommend this place to anyone that has tastebuds!

    Queen of Memphis Burger and barbecue beans.

    We'd done our hour in the Spam Museum, and needed something fairly quick-ish to fuel us for the 5-hour drive home. Based on location, the fact I had fulfilled my spam quota for the day, and because we hadn't yet had barbecue on the trip, I decided to give this place a try. I landed on the Queen of Memphis burger, because coleslaw AND barbecue pork inside a bun? Sign me up. I also got a side of pit beans, because honestly, it's the best side, and good luck convincing me otherwise. When the order came about 20 minutes later, I had seemed to miss the part where the QoM burger was a *burger*, because I was not expecting a beef patty at the bottom. So now I'm staring down a ton of food, as opposed to merely "a lot". (That's on me, though; got to read that menu carefully!) Everything about this burger works, even the oddly pale-colored bun! Coleslaw and pork is a classic combination, and the meat is moist and flavorful. Just in case, the sauce ensures it stays moist, but don't be too concerned. And the ground chuck and pepper jack rounded out a delicious (and unique) cheeseburger. The beans hit the spot, right at the intersection of sweet, savory, and creamy. Just how I like them. Make sure to try the sauces on the side, too; my favorite is the bourbon. A gem of a BBQ place in southern Minnesota.

    We were visiting Austin, MN for the Spam Museum (completely my wife's idea) and we were really hungry before getting back to our road trip, so we decided to stop for a quick bite at Piggy Blue's. Several people mentioned it was good at the museum so we decided to pop in. While people were friendly, it took a long time to be acknowledged that we were in the restaurant so that we could be seated. Once they spoke to us, it took another 5-10 minutes to get a table even though there were two clean tables that could fit the three of us. It took another 10 minutes to get our orders taken and the food also took quite a while to come. They might have been short-handed that day, but our quick trip turned into an hour and a half from walking in the door to leaving. I ordered the boneless buffalo chicken wings with their country potatoes and corn bread. The corn bread made me cry. It was so sweet and tasty, I would have been happy just eating that. The thick sliced potatoes were also simple but very good. The chicken wasn't breaded very well so the breading pretty much fell apart as soon as it was tossed in the buffalo sauce. My wife's spam three ways was okay, but not great. Again, they might have been short-handed, but it will not be a very quick meal if you are looking for one.

    Pulled pork

    Right across the street from the SPAM museum, this spot is convenient for satisfying your pork cravings after learning about Hormel and its business. Our order: smoked pulled pork, 1/4 or maybe 1/2 rack of BBQ ribs, the meat came with cornbread, butter bread and chips. Assortment of sauces available at your table. We liked each other's dishes more than our own - I found the pulled pork dry, he didn't think his ribs were flavorful - so we swapped and both became happy campers. We agreed that Carolina was the number one sauce among our options: sweet, tangy and fiery all in one. The corn bread was fluffy, the chips were not as crispy from the steam, I would recommend asking for a substitute side. Service was attentive and the interior felt homey. All art on the walls are available for purchase, which I think is a thoughtful way of supporting and promoting other local businesses. I would recommend coming here for a casual bite if you find yourself in Austin.

    Brisket and potatoes. This is only 1/2 my meal.

    Stopped by for a late lunch since we were staying at the hotel…read more Our waitress was friendly and generally attentive, but it wasn't the best service we've had. Our order was taken quickly, and came out in a reasonable amount of time. There was a large funeral across the street and apparently the attendees gathered here afterwards because it was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon. But it was still not too crazy and we were able to have a conversation at a reasonable volume. Lots of TVS playing sports. Some reviews referred to it as a nightclub which seems a stretch. At least in the afternoon it was family friendly.. The espresso martinis were strong and all alcohol. But what I'm used to and not my favorite but we definitely got a nice buzz! The cheese curds were average; the pizza fries were an interesting concept. It would have been nice if the cheese had been melted more. The pepperoni was somewhat spicy. The fries were really good! I truly enjoyed the quinoa bowl. The pork belly was crispy and crunchy and just delectable. It worked well with the quinoa and vegetables. I'd happily eat this regularly. Prices are average. Especially for a hotel, one might even consider them reasonable. It's a good option if you don't want to leave the hotel.

    We were staying next door at the Doubletree so this was an easy spot to have a good dinner. Upon…read morewalking in there are plenty of tables to sit at or you can sit at the bar. I sat at the bar and ordered the wings which were crispy and good. I have a garlic allergy and they checked the ingredients to make sure I could have a few things. I ordered a steak and it was cooked medium, had a good experience. People were friendly and there are plenty of TVs to watch games and when it is nicer outside they have an outside patio.
