Great food and BBQ experience! If you're looking for a traditional BBQ joint - this is it! You won't find this at the franchises! We ordered a sampler plate with turkey (juicy) ribs (fall off) and brisket (soft/tender) along with some mac and cheese (cheesy!) and cornbread. And their tea tasted great! Did not disappoint! read more

"Slick pig is a Murfreesboro staple!" We've gone a few times to Slick Pig and it's always good. We go on Tuesday nights when they have the $3.99 Pork Sandwich special. We usually get two sandwiches with a few sides! It's always pretty good. Half the time the food comes out mostly hot, sometimes closer to the room-temp side of things. It's a good country kitchen vibe with some antiques on the walls - including a few older tv's. It seems like they employ the local college students which is always good, they do a good job and are always friendly! I'm originally from the Carolina's, so it's hard to beat Carolina BBQ, but this is a good spot to hang! 8/10 read more

There is great, good and not very good here. First the great. The staff is super welcoming and helpful. Noticeably so. Clean, tidy restaurant with an old school bbq place vibe. Food came out quick, hot and fresh. The green beans were as good as green beans get except garden fresh. Perfectly seasoned. The okra was hot, crisp and fresh. Now the good. The wings are small but not dry and pretty tasty. I added 3 so I could try them. Good but kinda expensive for what you get. The ribs are meaty, super juicy and fall off the bone. Very well done for that style. So if that is your preference you will be happy. The pulled pork is moist and fresh but only a hint of smoke. Decent. Drink is included and a choice of hush puppies, cornbread or garlic bread. I passed on the bread but probably quite good. Now the not so good. The brisket is horrible. Dry and tough. Like really tough. I couldn't get past half a slice. I'm still going 4 stars for everything else but skip the brisket. I'll probably be back if I'm in the area but not road trip worthy. read more

Slick Pig BBQ - 3 meat plate with wings, ribs and brisket. Corn cake, beans, and Mac on side. - Barbeque Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

It's hard to choose a favorite dish at Slick Pig because everything I've tried has been good. If I'm hungry, I usually go for the 2-piece catfish dinner, two sides and a drink for 10.99. Or, for a lighter meal, I'll do the single cajun catfish filet with one side and a drink for $7.99. Can't beat those prices anywhere! I saw an earlier review mention mashed potatoes and turnip greens being on their list of sides. I wish that was true. I've never seen either of those on the menu. Hubby's favorites are the brisket and smoked wings. read more

Ordered pitmaster combo and catfish. Catfish was fried just right and tasty. Pulled pork was excellent, ribs were excellent. Potato salad was good. Wings were good. Brisket was ok maybe a tad overcooked. Didnt care for brunswick stew or mac and cheese. Both edible but not worth ordering. Top tier bbq worth a stop. read more

Slick Pig has just recently become my #1 favorite lunch spot of all time. However, it fluctuates. When you walk in, line or not, this place is getting your order taken fairly quick. The prices are reasonable, and they don't throw a "tip me" screen in your face. I ordered the 3 meat sampler and was NOT disappointed. The plate comes to you within minutes. It's like Jesus himself makes this food, the chicken wings & ribs fall off the bone. The sauce they typically give you with the brisket, I think it's called "pop sauce", is tremendous. I love the look of this place too - it resembles your southern BBQ to a tee. I will 110% be back time and time again. If you want good BBQ at a good price, this is it! read more

Food is great, but if you order online check your stuff. They left stuff out of my order!

This place was down to earth, the staff was friendly, well priced, and the food was good. The 1/2 ribs is the way to go, the trappeys peppers in vinegar were great on the side. A lot of sheriffs on their lunch break. The owner is very sweet and chatty. read more

Omg!!!!!!! Talk about some of the best bbq ever!!!!! This is the place it blew me and my hubby away! We were visiting and found them online and decided to give them a try and so glad we did!! We shared the 3 meat plate and were fighting over it! Also one of the best and most flavorful white sauce we've tried. Sad we don't have this place in Fl. Amazing service and atmosphere too. read more

Saw this place that got high reviews. My wife and I went on Friday, January 30, 2026 at 7:00 PM. 1. We tried to order a rack of ribs but we were told that they ran out of ribs. WHAT? How does a BBQ place run out of ribs early on a Friday night. They weren't that busy. 2. We ordered a combo plate with pulled chicken, brisket, and wings. Sides were baked beans, corn bread, and onion rings. EVERYTHING was served COLD except the onion rings. 3. The food probably would have been decent if it had been hot. 4. The place was dirty too. The place was being run that night by young twenty-something's. I do not understand how they get good reviews and stay in business. We ate some of our food and left. Now I am worried that we might get sick. read more

I've had a lot of BBQ and this is definitely one of the best. Great food with generous portions and fair prices. Go here for great BBQ - the brisket is worth trying for sure. read more

Really cool place with the best ribs we've had since leaving Texas. They also offered lots of options for the vegetarian in our group. Our party really loved the vibe of this family-owned restaurant. read more

WOW!!! You locals are lucky, this place is DELICIOUS!!!!! Unfortunately for me i live in California and may never have a chance to come back but if I get lucky..I will be!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful, from taking my order, until the minute I left. The decor reminds me that i am in the heart of the south, with a very warm feeling and the employees just enhance it all. This little Mom and Pops place is everything you're looking for in a down home barbecue. DON'T MISS OUT!!! read more

This place is a cornerstone of downtown Murfreesboro! Not only do they have the best BBQ in town, but everything else on their menu is amazing. From their fried pickles, potato salad, green beans, fried okra, cornbread, and baked beans to their fruit tea, I've never had a bad meal here. The service is always fast and friendly. With their awesome family packs that include a pound of pork and sides, Slick Pig is a go to for when I need an easy dinner. Do yourself a favor and stop at Slick Pig! read more

Ordered full slab, mac & cheese, white beans, garlic toast, 10 wings. Got home with 1/2 slab, 6 wings, watery baked beans, burnt toast, pulled pork and brisket after the man at the counter checked to make sure my order was correct. I took his word that all was good and was disappointed when I made it home. I would have gone back but I live on the other side of Murfreesboro. Wings were dry and the ribs were meh. read more

I'm from out of town, but I've been to this place twice on work trips. Each time I've gone, it's been with very large groups (30ish). The staff there has handled it so professionally each time and get everything in and out real quickly considering the group size. I can't emphasize the hospitality enough. The food itself is awesome as well. This most recent time I had the meat sampler and in order I liked the ribs, wings, then brisket. The brisket wasn't bad by any means, but the ribs were just perfect. The Mac and cheese is ok, beans and hush puppies are very good. I can't wait to go back next year! read more

YUM!!! The ribs were AMAZING. The meat literally fell off of the bone. The smoked turkey and beef brisket were delicious as well. I loved the potato salad!! The cornbread was served flapjack style! The service was AMAZING...so helpful and friendly! read more

Best place for all things BBQ. When I travel to see family in Pennsylvania, I travel to The Pig the day before for BBQ and potato salad. The meal is not complete without Miss JoJo's fruit tea and freah coconut cake. If one is sad, upset, happy, or mourning, Slick Pig makes everything better. Ih, and Ms JoJo's fruit tea is extra special with coconut rum and coconut cake, promise. You will need to take some home. read more

The sign at the front said take out to the right. The door was locked, and the people was standing right by the door and told us to go around.? This was $35 A full rack of ribs and 2 sides. It's definitely not worth it. read more

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. You get a good portion size. Ordered at the counter, food arrived quickly.

Went here for an after graduation lunch. Had a party of 8+. It was a little hectic at first, because you order at the counter and then go to your tables, so there was a huge line in the middle of the restaurant. I got a smoked brisket plate, it comes with 2 sides, bread, and a drink. I got fried okra and potato salad. I thought the bread was just regular bread, but the bread option was between hush puppies, cornbread and something that I forgot. So I got hush puppies. My brisket was very moist, I even enjoyed the taste of the fat. The fried okra was bomb and so were the hushpuppies. The potato salad was good, but not the height of my night. For a drink I got the sweet tea, and THAT was amazing!! Best tasting sweat tea I've ever had!! I had some the next day in my to go cup and was still phenomenal! I'm hoping they have a website we can order it from Arizona! I tried my S.O. Cornbread and I was not impressed. It was like flattened mini pancakes, and I could barely taste the corn in it. All in all, I give 5 stars because everything I ordered, I highly enjoyed, and my S.O. Said the same thing. We had their fried pickles and they were also very good! read more

Slick Pig BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Slick Pig has ambience that other (newer) BBQ places pay designers a lot of money to mimic. Out of the speakers comes 90's country music. Booths and long tables fill the space and the walls have signs that would compete with any Cracker Barrel. Grab a menu at the door, walk up and place your order. The menu covers BBQ 101 items and the prices are fair. Pay, grab your number and a seat, and they'll bring your food when it's ready. The ribs are fall off the bone tender. Baked beans, fries, and hush puppies are all good. Portions are good. Given the food I tasted, I thought the banana pudding would be good. Sadly, I can't recommend it. Everything else was good. read more

Worth the drive. We usually check Yelp for ratings - and the #1 place was a chain restaurant - but we wanted a local unique restaurant. So we came to Slick Pig BBQ instead - the #2 restaurant at the time I'm reviewing this. And they did not disappoint! So much delicious food. The wings were fall off the bone. A mild and spicy bbq sauce to choose from. Restaurant was clean and staff was so nice. read more

Best smoked wings ever. Always good service. And I love the decor. Definitely recommend the fried green tomatoes too!!

Sides: fried green tomatoes- good, coleslaw- ok, green beans -good potato salad- excellent. Mains: pulled Pork- good, ribs- fall off the bone good, wings- really good...but why are people sleeping on the bologna? Bologna was so good. Service: Everyone was friendly and helpful! read more

Came here the other day after getting off work early. This place has something for everybody. We tried the pitmaster combo to split between myself and my husband which is what I recommend so you can try a bit of everything and then we also ordered a large fried green tomatoes which was the best I've ever had. It had tons of flavor in the coating and the tomatoes were perfect. The smoked wings are very good by them selves but add sauce and they get taken to another level that is for sure. My other favorite was the Brunswick stew that was very good. Ny husband loved the ribs and all the meats of course as they were tender and flavorful. Staff was friendly, plenty of parking and easy to find. We will be coming back here for sure. read more

An unpretentious building that has character and is home world-class barbeque. Slick Pig BBQ in Murfreesboro checks all the right boxes. The barbeque here is prepared in traditional wood smokers rather than the electric indoor smoker oven many restaurants use today. The BBQ here has beautiful bark, amazing smoke rings and tender, juicy meat packed with flavor that I would pit against barbeque anywhere. Matt leads a dedicated team, some of whom have been at Slick Pig for many years. Inside you'll find an open floor plan with great seating options, friendly staff, and that classic heavenly smell synonymous with great BBQ joints. We ordered a full rack of ribs, smoked wings, pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese, fried okra, fried pickles, potato salad, hush puppies. We'll start with something that usually doesn't make you sit back in your seat and say "Whoa, this is terrific!". That item is the potato salad. With a flavor profile that is surprisingly complex and a perfect texture, I can truly say, this is the best potato salad I've ever eaten...period. The ribs had beautiful bark and that classic smoke ring and were packed with flavor, both tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. The combination of perfectly cooked meat that you can pull off the bone in chunks delivers eye-rolling and deliciousness that's next-level. The smoked wings were packed with rich flavor as well. Keep in mind, these are not crispy-fried wings, they are smoked wings that are both tender and juicy. The pulled pork was delicious as well however, the ribs steal the show. Fried okra and fried pickles are perfect. Hushpuppies are perfectly tender and moist inside. I like to provide honest reviews and to that point, we get to the mac and cheese. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's just missing that magic that everything else has. If Matt could get some of that magic from the potato salad over into the mac and cheese, there would be no item we've tried to date that is less than stellar! We wrapped up our trip with plenty of leftovers and grabbed some pecan pie and chess pie, both of which were great! One unique item you have to try are the fresh Pork Rinds! OMG! These are fabulous! They have two varieties, traditional plain salted and smokehouse. Both are great! Those leftovers - place them in a shallow baking pan into a preheated oven at 275 degrees for 10-12 minutes and they are every bit as delicious as when you first ordered them! Do yourself a favor and bring yourself and guests to Slick Pig BBQ in Murfreesboro for some lip-smacking goodness! read more

I don't know a family that enjoys Bar-b-que as much as mine. I don't know a Bar-b-que loving family that is willing to take a chance on a new Bar-b-que joint like my family. We did so today at the Slick Pig. Nothing ventured nothing gained. We gained today. The ribs were cooked to perfection and the sweet sauce was really food. The young ladies at the counter were full of southern hospitality and offered patient direction over menu. The Slick Pig is really worth the stop. read more
