What a treat. Took a dear friend - who was craving BBQ - to my go to and Silver Pig DELIVERED! Get the platter! One will have a hard time finding a better diner; they don't make them like this anymore. Silver pig is a diamond in the rough and this is from an Amherst Co farm hand. jkf read more

Always good barbecue at good price and fast service. Not a fancy place but great traditional Carolina BBQ.

The BBQ is always consistently tasty and the service friendly. I would love to see the building (inside & out) look more appealing. Maybe someone could call in the show: Restaurant Impossible? read more

Traveling through and found this hidden gem near our hotel. The owner was warm and welcoming, encouraged us to try the stew which was so good. The bbq was tasty and not overly sauced. Our platters came with hush puppies and little pots of honey. A perfect finish to a filling meal in a cozy casual dining room with friendly service. Go there hungry and leave satisfied! read more

Silver Pig Barbecue - Delicious Brunswick Stew and a BBQ sandwich with red slaw -- so tasty! - Barbeque Near Me - Madison Heights, Virginia

Looks shady from the curb and all cars outside were white work vehicles so I had a feeling we'd found a great place. They have cute little kid bar stools at the counter my husband, father and myself sat at, comfortable and not too short. The couple running it is very sweet. The wife is the epitome of southern charm and the husband is a rough around the edges grumpy old man (which we loved). I want to say the wife is Tina? She spoke with us about her son who was in the military, both my men are military. They got our order and made it as we ordered, came out right away and was delicious! We got all the sides, sandwiches with slaw and 2 sandwiches to go after we finished our meal. My husband and I are leaving for CA in the next few hours, it was our last meal with his dad, and he offered to pay for us. He went to pay and Ms Moore refused, thanking them both for their service and wished us a safe trip to our new home. So kind, so down to earth and wonderful food. read more

This place has been open for such a long time for a reason. I'm writing this as a Hogtown native, not someone with a BBQ vendetta from the "deep" south or NC. This is a vintager based BBQ joint and not your classic sweet barbecue so it's simply smoked pork. The prices are fair and the food is far from average! I will say though, when I went in to get a to-go order the...wife...perhaps of the owner, maybe? Stared the entire time and even as I was driving away. Like some children of the corn typa stuff. Confusing! Food was smack though! read more

Some of the better barbecue available in Virginia, and that's because it is a North Carolina style barbecue. it is a variation of Eastern NC barbecue, but the sauce is a milder vinegar and pepper version. The slaw is the red Lexington barbecue slaw which gets the red from the ketchup that is added - this is a very typical slaw in the piedmont area of North Carolina. The chopped pork, cooked on site, is advertised as "hickory fired", not pit cooked, as most of the great Eastern NC barbecue still is. I would guess that the hickory fired means it is cooked with gas using hickory chips to get some smokiness in the pig. The meat out of the kitchen is tender, a hint of smokiness, and a touch dry - but additional sauce will cure that. Hush puppies are pretty good as well Nice folks here, good food, definitely worth a stop. read more

Man, I really do love this place. I own a recording studio about 2 miles from Silver Pig, and I always take my clients here. Great prices, and great BBQ. I always get the pulled pork sandwhich, and hush puppies with honey. MUST GET THE HONEY. What a combo. I then soak the pork in their vinegar based sauce. So yum. So deliciously soggy. The service isn't great, but I think they are just a quiet couple. Not overly kind, which I can appreciate to an extent as well! Will keep coming back! Vibe 2/5 Service 3/5 Food 4/5 Just can't allow myself to give it lower than a four! read more

"Never half-ass two things; whole-ass one thing." Ron Swanson Jim Moore's Silver Pig Restaraunt is a perfect example of that thought, and as a result, you will get the best pulled pork and red slaw you've ever tried. I make a hobby of trying out as many places in my travels as I can. Some places I commit to revisiting, and this makes the very short list. This is a very casual, low key "must try" if you are a BBQ fan. Not only is his specialty worth the trip, but his hush puppies are a delight as well- be forewarned that if you define perfect little round balls as a perfect puppy, you will be disappointed and schooled by his unique and random shapes that allow a wonderfully diverse level of crisp for each little morsel. I need to mention that Jim and his staff are incredibly nice people, and, if you are a fan of Lacrosse, make sure to bring that subject up to him. Hey Jim- we will be back- and I'm gonna save some room this time for the peach cobbler! read more

Down home barbecue. Fast and easy. Good customer service. Great for take home. Store it's self is a little dated but has the nostalgic theme down to a science. read more

Wife and I both ordered the Pork Plate, it came with BBQ slaw and French Fry like hush puppies. The chef behind the counter encouraged me to order a small cup of honey to dip the hush puppies in and I'm glad I did. It was all delicious! I also ordered a small Brunswick Stew that was just OK. read more

I was driving to Smith Mountain Lake, looked up local places for BBQ and this place popped up. It is in an old 7-11 building. I drove around back and saw no wood or smokers. Bad sign. I ordered a BBQ sandwich. It was bland, no taste of smoke(no surprise), and was nothing special. If you want something cheap and fast this may be for you but if you are looking for quality smoked BBQ like myself, I'd suggest you go elsewhere. read more

Silver Pig Barbecue - a sign for silver pig barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Madison Heights, Virginia

Went with two stars since they have managed to stay in business as long as they have. Other than that I would have went with one. I have been eating here since I was a tot. Went a few months ago (hadn't been in years) hoping for a flavor change and or improvement. 11 bucks for a beverage, plate w/ hush puppies, cole slaw and meat w/ cold bun. Now I am a meat and tater eating fool, love my pork and cook a Boston Butt on the smoker almost monthly. The meat is very dry, I am not a fan of their hush puppies ( almost french fry size and crunchy ), cold bun, cole slaw is simply disgusting and the cobbler is mediocre ( which wasn't included in that 11 bucks ). The best part of the meal was my canned Pepsi and the sauce (which also is a weird combo of tomato based along with vinegar based BBQ sauce) that I had to flood everything with, with the exception of the cobbler to get even half of it down. I stopped by McDonald's on the way back to our job site to get a McDouble to fill the void. Sad but true. read more

Best NC style barbeque north of North Carolina. The style is chopped with a very light seasoning of their eastern NC vinegar based sauce. Perfect. Sauce does not kill the pork, and the pork is wonderful. Served on a simple hamburger roll--the bread is there to HOLD the Q, not fight with it. Perfect. A simple place, with excellent simple food. If only I could get all my Northern VA BBQ joint owners to come here and learn how it's done, I would not have to wait for my infrequent weekday trips to Lynchburg. (Or if Jim would stay open on Sundays for me!) Oh, yeah, for dessert, get the peach cobbler. read more

I'd say this was the best cole slaw that I've had. The two choices for meat are on the bun or on a plate; I chose the latter. I also had a side of their stew and their beans. Overall, I'd say it's an above average lunch for $10, and the food is unique enough to warrant a visit. read more

The real deal. A non-anthropomorphic pig is featured on the menu, which is greater in quality than options. Slaw is Lexington-style. Hush puppies are served hot&fresh and with squeezy-bears of HONEY. Actual Q is served drier than average, but patrons of course can add sauce to taste/consistency. Excellent Carolina BBQ north of the border. Price and hush puppies add the 5th star. read more

i think I just got schooled by a guy from San Francisco. Who knew what Lexington Cole Slaw was? I knew it was odd, but I liked it. They serve a decent east Carolina BBQ, an interesting but good coleslaw, odd but good hushpuppies, and a decent peach cobbler. I was raised on this type of food, and I think Silver Pig puts an interesting twist on the normal recipe. Don't be scared of the orange coleslaw....it's good. The hushpuppies are thin and more like frenchfries, not for me, but they weren't bad. BBQ is good. BBQ Sauce is good, but it is geared towards the people who don't know or like east Carolina BBQ Sauce. I like to get take-out and use my own BBQ sauce. If you are in Mad Heights reading this, eat here. It's worth a trip from Lynchburg if this is as close to NC as you will be getting this trip. read more

I have been a long time fan and customer of Silver Pig. I read the "Gunderson" review and take offense to it. I do not believe any of it. They provide great food, great service and are a wonderful family. If you are not happy take your money elsewhere. I'm sure most of the regular customers do not participate in social media so your message will fall on deaf ears. Whatever the "Gunderson" agenda was you just wasted your time other than trying to cause harm to a business. Shame on you. read more

Really good bar-b-que no thrills. Just pulled pork unique hush puppies an some really good coleslaw. Thats all that's on menu but all you need. read more

The BBQ was probably only moist because of the coleslaw (I got a sandwich), the hushpuppies didn't taste like anything but "crispy," and they don't even refrigerate their drinks! Halfway through my meal I noticed there isn't even a kitchen... Their cobbler was up front under heat lamps, so I'm going to assume the rest of their food gets the same treatment. This doesn't even compare to real NC stuff. I'd rather get BBQ at Cookout... read more

Really happy to see this place is still open! I hadn't eaten here in nearly 25 years and it's just as good as I remember.

Excellent BBQ. Vinegar based sauce. Hush-puppies are different in a good way. Say "yes" when asked if you want honey for the hush-puppies. One of my favorite BBQ restaurants. Nothing fancy but that isn't what I look for. Good food, good people, and one of Lynchburg's secrets. You won't find it unless you hear about it from others; and that is why I am sharing. read more

Food was alright, the place is a hole, but a fun experience overall. I wanted to check it out after the recommendations and awards, but I've had better or similar BBQ in a variety of other places. I won't be suggesting this place, but I'm sure some love it. read more

Always a treat to eat Silver Pig. All othe barbeque will be compared to it.

If anyone knows a way to ship me a sandwich and hush puppies from the Silver Pig, please let me know because I am dying to have some. I used to live in the area and ate there at least once a week, but now I live on the other side of the country and miss it terribly. The Silver Pig is run by some of the nicest people around who make the definitely the best food around! read more

Best Carolina style BBQ in Virginia. If you love BBQ and you don't stop by here if your in the area you should be ashamed of yourself

I'm sad I just finished the last of some pork my aunt brought us from here when she flew up to visit in early December, since their pulled pork has always been awesome whenever(and almost always) she's brought us some for her flights to Chicago. I will be in the area again next summer, so I hope to try more of the food then. And after that, post an update. read more

Great BBQ. Restaurant is no frills, just fantastically good food at reasonable prices. Their Slaw is magical, hush puppies...easily the best I've ever had...as a previous reviewer said, Get the honey. Wow. A treasure! read more

Don't go to the chain store - this is the best BBQ in Lynchburg. That said, it is solid rather than spectacular. A regular plate and a cup of sweet tea is delicious. read more

Best barbecue in the area. When I'm having a sandwich, I think their barbecue is my favorite. When I'm having Brunswick stew, I think that's my favorite. I love the hush puppies & slaw all the time. read more

Wonderful barbecue! I went for dinner there based on Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. The red slaw was a new experience for me, I thought it was tasty, kind of like using cocktail sauce instead of the creamy or vinegar based sauce. I'm looking forward to returning. read more

Silver Pig Barbecue is Deeeelicious!! WOW love the Carolina style bbq sandwich. WOW the slaw is so tangy and unique, The hushpuppies and honey are to die for. Peach cobbler with ice cream is a perfect way to finish off this meal. Everything is homemade and so southern. The BBQ plate is a great combination of chopped BBQ, slaw and Hushpuppies,,,,,the prices are so affordable and the food is great. What a great place to bring your friends and family. The take out specials are such a deal. The pig paintings and pigs on display are fun to look at. It's a great little gem and a delicious oink joint. I have some friends in California who make the Silver pIg their very first stop when they get to Lynchburg. So check out the award winning Barbecue at the Silver Pig. You will be happy you stopped in. read more

So- what's the big deal about this place? I certainly was not impressed. "Carolina Barbecue" leaves a lot to be desired both in taste and, in the case of the Silver Pig, variety.. You can have anything on the menu-- as long as its a little boring Wonder Bread hamburger bun with a handful of roasted pig meat on it- little or no sauce and more or less tasteless, except for the vinegar. The sandwiches are served wrapped in waxed paper and plopped on the bare table, no place mat, no nothing. However, if you order a "plate" combo, which includes slaw and beans, you get a paper plate. Drinks are out of cans, although you get refills if you order iced tea. The staff was a bit surly- altho the owner seemed to be friendly enough. All in all a pretty boring joint, and not much to look at at that. Bare mismatched tables and chairs- it looked like the back room at the Goodwill store. I'd look elsewhere for barbecue. read more

A gem, pure and simple. Some of the best bbq I've ever had, and for $3 a sandwich it can't be beat! The hushpuppies are amazing as is the peach cobbler. If you live in the area and have not been to this place, it is worth a look! read more
