Wow, this is a find! It's very small with no reservations so arrive early. Open Wed-Sat. Service is great and they really take pride in their food. The oysters are amazing! Fresh and tasty. We got a platter of a dozen oysters for $26 and were treated to 3 different kinds: one from Massachusetts and 2 kinds from Maine. I loved one of the Maine kinds and the other Maine oysters were a favorite as well. Affordable and some of the best oysters I've ever had. Tuna sashimi and spicy tuna salad are both well worth it - fresh and amazing flavor. We loved the watercress salad that came with most of our dishes - I'm not sure I even knew I liked watercress before this. The shrimp cocktail was good but small and again fresh. Fingerlings potatoes were great but small and could do with less stuff on it - cheese and bacon are plenty. Chicken tacos had super fresh cilantro and lime. Seafood roll - my other half liked it better than I did as I felt that the squid rings seem to overpower the dish for me - the brioche roll was lightly toasted and buttered to perfection. The presentation of all the dishes is appealing and professional. The menu is hard to describe - super fresh ingredients resulting in a slightly ever evolving menu, almost a dozen different "drinking snacks" including a number of dips - raw oysters, raw clams, raw tuna and a few tacos and sandwiches - bigger portions than a tapas plate but not a full sized dinner plate. Parking can be a bit confusing as it's on the other side of the Hen of the Woods (we used that parking lot - just make sure you pay because they will ticket) and the place is hard to find as it seems surrounded by the Tropic Brewing. Overall, we can't wait to go back for more - top picks are oysters and tuna dishes.

I've been wanting to check this place out since it opened and was glad my neighbor friends wanted to go in tonight. Tucked away behind the main set of well known restaurants, It's a cozy place with just enough tables to keep the kitchen staff and bartender hopping. It's clear they work well together; it's a tiny cooking area and that was well orchestrated. The food we saw coming out looked amazing. I love raw oysters, and as we'd just had dinner before we came in, it'll definitely be a must have next visit. I heard him say that the dozen were 4 different varieties delivered fresh from Rhode Island, Maine and two other locations I didn't catch. The deviled eggs were generously stuffed as were the sandwiches I saw being served. My companions have been here twice before and loved the food. There's something for everyone in a range of prices. That's pretty awesome. The cocktails were delicious. I had the Respect your elders, which was made with gin, St Germaine, lavender. Very tasty, though I would've preferred a little more of the elderflower liqueur vs gin. My neighbor got the browned butter bourbon old fashioned which was to die for. The owners are hustling as hard as the other staff and even though busy, were offering genuine smiles and wished us a good night on our way out. It's a nice, newish unpretentious yet high quality neighborhood dining establishment in Waterbury. I look forward to my next visit.

Went here on my birthday during vacation to have a few drinks that were absolutely lovely! We got a cheesy potato dish (forgive me, I cannot remember the name) that was incredible. The bartender was great and they brought out an amazing dessert after my boyfriend let it slip that it was my birthday. Will definitely come back if we're in the area again!!

We loved this place! Small but perfect space! We sat at the bar. The bartender so awesome she was so nice and friendly. Everyone was nice and talkative even the patrons. Drinks were tasty! We had beers, espresso martinis and a lemon drop. We only had shrimp cocktail since we had just ate at the Pro-Pig.

Shitty service. We were ignored and then they gave our table away to people who were there after us.

Prohibition Pig - Duck fat fries

Where to start? Being from out of town my wife and I wanted something good but not too pricey…read more Upon looking at some reviews we fell on this place, which we had never been to, and decided to give them a shot. Upon walking in you'll notice that it is a very small restaurant with their lights dimmed low. The bar area is ready to be taken in photo and put in one of those decorations magazines. The hostess was great, the waiter we got was really friendly, knowledgeable and the food recommendations were FANTASTIC. We got the chicken wings with pickled carrots and house ranch, the side of pulled pork, their Pig Mac burger (a double) and their duck fat French fries (OMG). Everything was good, we would just look at each other and say "did you try this, did you have a bite of that?" my only regret is that I didn't get a chance to try their skillet cookie and that we live more than an hour away. We will definitely go back and eat at this restaurant again.

This place has well over 1000 reviews and most of them are positive for a reason! Pro Pig checks…read moreso many boxes and is a must try for anyone in the area. It gets busy and they don't take reservations. They do have an online waitlist but we went around 4:30 and didn't have to utilize it. Our party of 6 climbed camel's hump earlier in the day and showed up famished. We knew this was the right pig out spot for us to refuel from the moment we walked in, smelled the food and saw the amazing ceiling-high bar. The smoked meats were outstanding. High quality cuts smoked to perfection. We had an order of every meat they offer and they were all just as good. That being said, I could go back just for the cornbread w maple butter. My word, it was like eating cake for dinner. The Mac & cheese was ooey and gooey with a nice crispy top. And the cookie skillet was like a party in your mouth. We didn't think we'd be able to finish everything but there wasn't a crumb to be found when we were done. As far as service goes, it was as good as I've ever had at a place like this. Our server was laid back yet always on top of things. We never waited for anything and her timing was perfect. There's outdoor seating if that's your jam. We sat in the large table by the window and got to look out on main st. It couldn't have been more perfect.

It's down a DARK stairway w NO LIGHT!! The steps down were painted black and the walls were also dark! No lighting on the walls down!! We used our phone flash lights!! Maybe some yellow tape so it's possible to see the next step in front of you...??? I watched many folks stumble and trip their way down... an accident waiting to happen!! BUT... I am telling you , I got there and "alive".... OMG the food is amazing!! I so want to go again, but I am afraid!! It would only take a couple of wall lights, and maybe some yellow tape on the steps to make the descend into the restaurant easier. I'm hoping I can call... order food, and ask them to bring it up to the door. Otherwise... we older folks, are out of luck!!

We visited last night and it happened to be during Karaoke time. The crowd was super chill, friendly, and very supportive of the singers. Everyone was having a great time and the vibe was pretty amazing, kind of felt like a speakeasy. There were people sitting at the bar, people clapping in the seats in front of the stage, and people knitting in the back. There were empty tables last night, but from what I read, it can get pretty crowded here. We ordered the Mudslides and they were really good, but a little too icy. Service was friendly and we felt very comfortable here. Loved the decor with the historic photos, the colored lights and the comfortable old style chairs. We'll be back on our next visit to Burlington!

We both ordered the eggnog mudslide, a holiday special, which were served quickly and were very delicious. The night we went was their weekly karaoke night which we didn't know ahead of time, but it was fun! It seems to be a group of regulars who like to sing and the vibe was fun and laid back. The employee running karaoke was super nice and friendly and overall the whole place had really good vibes. I think we'll definitely be back next time we visit Burlington!
