    Sorry no pictures- that's how good the food is!! The patty melt is very large and the burger was cooked perfectly. My friend was eating hers in the car and at the counter as we picked the order up. The ribs are delish, nice size for a half slab. The brisket was the best I've had. It was very juicy and flavorful!! Make sure you try the grilled zucchini and pork rinds. Overall this is a nice casual family restaurant. A nice hidden gem.

    INCREDIBLE baked beans. Fried green tomatoes are to die for. Some of the best sweet tea you can find. Meat is high quality and their sauces are delicious. 10/10 recommend.

    When I am in charge of outings, it is my mission to find the best local place around. I've been twice recently: once before a day at Rickwood Caverns, and more recently as a lunch break in the area. I don't think there was anything that didn't get great reviews. This is *NOT* just your typical pulled pork on a bun BBQ place. Can't think of a better way to say it other than "elevated." It really is a smokehouse as all their menu items are built on meats they've smoked and imagined into everything you love. I got the Philly, and it was such a treat! Super tender meat, and a great bun. Looked like it would be crunchy/dense, but it was soft and squishy and oh-so-good. Their fries are peppered so forwarning if that's not your thing. The Reuben came on a great marble rye. Again, their own smoked meats made this a sandwich I didn't offer to share even though others at the table were sampling and sharing and passing things around. Nope, all mine. The Porky was ginormous. My college student has recently taken an affinity to lots of extra sauces and flavors on his sandwiches, and this certainly fit the bill. It had four different meats, slaw, and sauce. Quite the show stopper. The side of mac and cheese had extra shredded on top. There probably is not a single thing on the menu that isn't a good choice. So if you have the opportunity to go, do. If you see their food truck, stop. And if you hear that they are catering an event, know that your hosts must love you.

    I met up with family to have dinner at Porkys. We arrived about 6:30 to a very busy spot, we got the last table that could accommodate the group of 5 (3 adults and 2 kids). The waitress was fairly quick to get over and take drink orders and then back for the food order. Unfortunately. After we ordered it took a good hour + to get our food. I don't mind waiting for a bit for quality food made to order but this was over an hour. Also many tables got their food ahead of us but came in well after we did. Once the food showed up it was really good. I had the pork plate with baked beans and potato salad, very tasty. The ambiance was a but crowded and unorganized but they somehow make it work. You can tell this is a good truck that moved indoors. All in all a good meal but the wait times and organization need a lot of work/

    Saw Porky's food truck menu on the Birmingham Restaurant Week and felt the need to try their brisket. It took us three tries on two separate nights, but we finally tracked them down at Good People's tonight. Ordered the restaurant week menu of dinner for two with pork nachoes, turkey plates, and dessert. We also bought an additional pound of brisket, a pint of mac & cheese, and a pint of baked beans. The one thing that popped for us out of these was the nachoes....the nachoes were awesome. The chips are BBQ-flavored thick chips that's super flavorful and crunchy on it's own....really provided a great foundation for all the toppings they loaded onto it. We nicknamed it "The Five Star Nachoes"!

    This food truck came and visited our neighborhood yesterday and we decided to check it out. I'm glad we did! The wait wasn't too long for our food, and the employees were friendly. The food - great. I debated on what to get, as everyone knows how much I love smoked wings, but they convinced me to go with the tacos as they have won several taco competitions in Birmingham recently. Surprising for a BBQ place, I know, but it's true. The BBQ Hot Tacos were flat out amazing - I got the brisket, of course. And not spicy at all to me. I could have turned the heat up a little. The bbq pork nachos my wife ordered were great as well. Very much more of an authentic experience vs the ballpark style nachos that other places serve. The grilled zucchini was good, but could have used more salt. We were very happy they came to our neighborhood. Hopefully they'll be back soon!

    Great find while traveling through Alabama! I had the Porky and it was excellent. Service was very good and quick. Good atmosphere. Sweet tea was spot on.

    We found the food here very tasty. I loved the Ruben sandwich. The people are very welcoming. It's very home town. It is in a brick and mortar. I read it was a food truck but that is not the case. We just found out they opened another sandwich shop, unfortunately that's where you'll have to get the Ruben. But that's okay, another place in the Hayden area to go!

    Fries were mostly crumbs, turkey sandwich was mostly chewy fat. Very disappointed with this place.
