I LIVED on Slick Pig when I was at MTSU -- they are a broke college student's dream! On Tuesdays, you can get BBQ sandwiches for $.99 and the rest of the time, my favorite thing to order was the Brunswick stew, which is super tasty and comes with cornbread for something like $3.50. There really isn't anything on their menu that could be considered expensive, so it's easy to get your BBQ fill without emptying your pockets. The thing you absolutely cannot miss if you go to Slick Pig is their wings -- it is ridiculous how smoky and juicy those things are. read more

If I was basing my review off of just the potato salad and wings, it definitely would have been 5 stars! They have struck gold with those 2 menu items. Both are the best you will find anywhere. The reason I only give 4 out of 5 stars overall is because the rest of the food is pretty good but not outstanding (although the pulled pork is just ok), the building and interior really needs to be refreshed, and some of the staff can be "not that friendly" The owner John is a great guy though and was awesome to us when one of his employees screwed something up for us so he definitely knows how to value his customers even in some of his employees don't. I can't stress enough how much everyone who can, needs to go try their wings and potato salad. It just doesn't get any better than Slick Pig's! read more

Love the smoked chicken wings, potato salad and sweet tea :) also the service is always great!

Great BBQ very delicious. We didn't have to wait too long to place our order. And the food came out in decent time. This is very popular BBQ place in the Boro and I understand why. read more

Slick Pig BBQ - Now offering ice cream treats! - Barbeque Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

See all

Hole in the wall BBQ joint in the middle of Murfreesboro. When I say hole in the wall, i really mean it. The place is what you come to expect of a classic southern BBQ shack. right down the comical dilapidated restroom and gaudy checkered table covers. The sole reason for my venture to the Slick Pig was to check out the hickory smoked wings. I'd heard a lot about them, almost to the point of overhype. I was cautiously optimistic but I have to say they really exceeded my expectations. The wings were tender, juicy, and had a stellar hickory flavor. Best of all they are super cheap at .80 each. I was very impressed. Sad to say I was less impressed with the pork BBQ. I opted for the pork sandwich with cornbread which subs corn cakes for the bun. I like concept as those two things go well together but I wasn't really feeling the pork. I like my pork with lots of hickory flavor and lots of bark but what I was served was lacking on both those fronts. It still wasn't bad though... just not as good as the best I've had. There a host of other things on the menu and all of it is very well priced... and by well priced I mean it's super cheap. Come for the wings. it's worth it. read more

My family and I have been going here for the past 4 years and we never get tired of it! There are absolutely no frills with this place... Just straight up good food with plastic forks! The first time I came I tried the smoked wings and I thought I'd died and went to heaven! Then I came back and had the ribs... Oh... Those ribs ARE heaven! Just a word of warning... Don't eat their ribs unless you plan on laying around for the next few hours! That's when you know it's good. The sweet tea is excellent and so are the sides. The food is incredibly cheap, and they have a few new things that are pure mouthwatering, soul-food goodness! (coconut cake, fried pickles, fried tenderloin sandwich) The folks that run the place are very down home and friendly. The owner Jerry will often come out and talk and laugh with the regulars, and often ask the new folks if they enjoyed their food and will always offer to bring them napkins, straws, etc... He is a great guy! This place is the real deal if you're lookin' for good-ole-boy down-home barbecue and soul food. This is also a great place to take any visiting northerner who wants just good home cookin'! read more

I'll just get right to the meat of it. The cashier didn't listen. Had to repeat every thing several times. Including having to go back up to re-order the 3 slices of pie. Then being charged for 5 and having to wait for her to figure out how to do a refund. The Smoked wing were totally over smoked to the point of being bitter and needing tums afterwards. The ribs were plain and boring. They were also somewhat tough. I don't want them fall of the bone tender. They should have a little snap to them. But these were kinda chewy. The pulled meats we had were mushy with no real flavor. The saving grace for them was the sauce on the table. Not the best sauce but not the worst either. The catfish was super thin filets and tasted almost off. The tarter sauce tasted store bought. The Pie also tasted store bought. Would I take my family there again ? Nope. I spent the next 5 hours chasing bathrooms. Almost forgot. The side are small and horrible. The cole slaw was spit out it was so bad. And last. What happened to the slaw also happened to the chili. Luke warm canned chili tastes better. read more

Best BBQ I've had so far. I'm from California and moved here recently and this place really captures the whole feel of what I imagined Tennessee bbq would taste like. Can't get enough of this place! read more

First thought while walking up to the door, "Really? This is the place? Well its hella busy, I guess that's a good thing!" Although plain looking, I am reminded of the saying don't judge a book by its cover. The smell was enough to snap me out of it...it smelled wonderful! Okay, the food here is awesome...hands down. The wings don't really have a 'sauce' or anything traditional; instead the wings are smoked and boy they are magnificient! I also had ribs and they are probably the best ribs that I have had. Meat fell off the bone, the sauce was delicious, and you get a good amount. I tried a few sides, mac & cheese, baked beans, white beans, potato salad...every one of them I wanted to order a gallon more... AND YOU CAN! Seriously! Gallon is a size on their menu for side orders! Unfortunately for me, I'm traveling and have no where to put it...or I would! I have been coming around here once a year for a competion, and can't believe that I have missed out on this place until now! I already can't wait for next year! read more

Great local BBQ joint. Tasty ribs, smoked wings and fried catfish. All the 4 and 5 star reviews weren't lying. Nice and helpful wait staff. Go somewhere else for decor, this is real BBQ. read more

Lucas Reviewed - Highlight This is the place to be on Tuesday's for lunch. 99 cent pulled pork sandwiches! The pork is good and that is what this place is all about. I recommend a group of your closest 2-3 friends or coworkers head over as you can be in and out if you're on a lunch break and time is limited. What else? They have good catfish and other options that aren't bad at all. The prices are groomed to the college crowd and are efficient in their service. The Hmmm ??? Seating can be limited and the line is known to protrude from the entrance. The business has outgrown its building size and seating accommodations.

The Wings. That's the reason I have done there for years. I'm not really a big wing person. I HATE fried wings and hot wings. But these will "make you wanna slap your mama." They are very meaty and very tasty. I only use my own homemade BBQ sauce on them. But you really don't need any. Why mess with perfection. If you want wings in Murfreesboro, the is the only place to go. read more

I am from Mississippi and I have been living in Tennessee for about a year. I'm still trying to get accustomed to the food here due to the seasoning being a little different from home. I can say I did not enjoy this one bit. I got the smoked wings and fries. It tasted sour to me for some odd reason. Maybe its just me and my taste buds, but I was highly disappointed. read more

I travel for work. So I try individually owned places whenever possible. I stopped in here, thinking it would be a simple, but kind of basic experience. I really wanted bbq, and all I had to look forward to was an empty hotel room... so ok. I went in, already previewing the menu on the Yelp app, ready to order, eat alone quietly, and go to the hotel. I walked it up to the counter to order and there was the friendliest man talking to the lady taking the order. He was so stinkin cute. As soon as I walked up, he immediately stopped and commented in the thickest southern accent I've ever heard, that he'd talk to her later and he didn't want me to wait. I explained it was my first time there, and he was welcome to finish, I'd wait. Oh my goodness, I opened the flood gates of southern hospitality! He told me all about the menu, offered me a wing to try, gave suggestions, told me about the pie, etc. It was the best interaction I had had with a person all day! I still have no idea if the man in overalls worked there, owned it, or was just happy to help, but he made my whole week! ... also the food was great. Good portions, great price, much better than the other bbq spots I've eaten at in Murfreesboro. The simple and happy vibe is what really made that spot a keeper for me though! read more

I wasn't really impressed with going to Slick Pig and eating there. The BBQ sandwich was good, even great, but it was the catering that really turned me on to it. I went to a party where they had ribs and pulled pork and various sides and this is where my love of Slick Pig was truly born. The ribs are amazing: wet and gooey and swimming in juice and sauce. I couldn't get enough of them. I'm glad I still have the opportunity to go out to Murfreesboro so I can still eat here once in a while. read more

To be honest, the BBQ is not my favorite, but they have my favorite chicken wings in the world. The mop sauce is incredible. It feels weird to go alone. read more

Firstly, my family LOVES bbq. We just moved into town and, unfortunately, I had to sell my smoker as my new rental property doesn't allow me to have one. Needless to say, I had to find a good bbq place. I only tried two things when I ordered from here: Smoked wings and brisket, no sides. Based on these I give this place four stars. The smoked wings were outstanding 5 star wings. If you order smoked wings you have the option to get them fried once they're pulled from the smoker, so I ordered half of my wings fried. Both options are nothing short of amazing. We don't see either style as better than the other, they're just different. Try them both, you be the judge. The brisket wasn't to my liking, and gets 3 stars. It was very wet and a bit greasy, which is probably great on a sandwich, but I prefer a dry rubbed brisket. The taste was great, but I like to eat brisket with my hands, minus the bun. I order a half pound of brisket and it was not given to me sliced, so it was just one big hunk of wet meat. This really hurts me, since I'm a big brisket fan. The girl working the register who took my order was super friendly and helpful. The meats were brought out pretty quickly, even though the place was packed. I will go back, and I will try more of their food, but I will absolutely order more of those smoked wings! read more

GOOD! Really good and pretty cheap for quality BBQ. I was surprised by their "cornbread"...it's more like a Yankee corn cake. My son liked them. This could have been a 5 star review but I'm saving that for a BBQ place that has fried okra! What the heck is it with BBQ joints around here not having this staple?!!? The servers were nice. It was packed, but as other have stated, we got our meal about 3 minutes later even with a full house! We will be back! read more

Have you ever gone out to eat and the restaurant was so packed that you had to wait what seemed like forever? Well, that's the Slick Pig...but there's a twist to this review. The Slick Pig was filled to capacity which immediately had me thinking that it must be pretty good. Every Tuesday The Slick Pig has the best kept secret in this neck of the woods. Pork sandwich goes for .99 cents. I ordered two seeing how I am a glutton for a great bargain. Having an hour for lunch I figured that I could wait for 20 minutes for my BBQ pork sandwich so when the server brought my order to me 5 minutes after I ordered I was definitely surprised. The sandwich was delicious and for 2.17 cents total I will probably be there next Tuesday as well. Stop in and join me if you are in the area, my treat. read more

I'm pretty sure this is the best BBQ in town. Could be wrong. But, I don't think I'm far off. It's it's not first, it's definitely top three. Great staff. Great atmosphere. Great food. Brisket was off the CHAIN! read more

I found out about the Slick Pig as a student at MTSU. Needless to say on the outside this place looks a little run down and is easily missed (it took me 2 years). If you can get over the decor you are in for a real treat. The menu is simple, the prices are low and the food is delicious. I recently went back to Nashville for a convention, and talked my co worker into the 30 minute drive down to Slick so I could relive my old favorite, 99 cent pork sandwiches. We ended up feeding 2 people for 12 bucks. I was back in heaven. If you want the real BBQ experience, skip Famous Dave's, Smokey Bones and Bar B Cutie, and head to the Slick. Simple, Tasty, and AMAZING. read more

Great ribs! Fell off the bone using a plastic fork. Beans & potato salad were also top notch. Wash it down with the sweet tea. Corn bread was a little too dry...my only issue, but I would go back in a heartbeat! read more

The best BBQ in Murfreesboro! Some of the best I've ever had, actually. On top of that, the service is great. Keep it up, Slick Pig . read more

Best catfish in town, the brisket is slap your momma good and the chicken will make you think about slappen your daddy.. love the crew very nice and engaging always have a smile on their faces, Small town read more

Driving from Charlotte to Chicago, I purposely went out of my way and added some drive time to my trip so that I could stop in Slick Pig to grab some food. I ate here for the first time about 4 years ago and whenever I am in the area, I have to stop. To this day, this is my favorite BBQ place! read more

If by some strange chance you've never been before--just do yourself the favor of trying their smoked wings. Better than any other place.

Fast and delicious. I love coming here. Of course, the BBQ is excellent, but their sides are also really good. They have some great potato salad. You get the whole fantastic meal. read more

Slick Pig BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Slick Pig's menu includes catfish, chicken tenders, and wings in addition to regular BBQ fare. The selections of sides is also impressive with options like pickled tomatoes, baked potatoes, and salads. Orders are placed at the counter and they bring the food out to your table. You get free self-serve refills. I had the pork plate with a side order of smoked wings, which was a good value for $14.74 with pretty average potion size. Everything was served hot. The beans and the mac and cheese were nothing special. Not bad, but nothing special. The wings and BBQ pork were solid. I tried both of the sauces they had sitting on the table, a vinegar type sauce and a sweeter sauce. Both had a thin consistency and both were fine. The hushpuppies were particularly good, I'd like to know what their recipe is for those. Most of the tables were arranged cafeteria style. The décor was nothing fancy, lots of MTSU memorabilia and a down home feeling to the place. On a weeknight during dinnertime they were seeing moderate traffic with a mix of folks dining and several coming in to grab carry out. I'm looking forward to coming back to this place again to try more of what they offer. read more

Slick Pig BBQ - Pork plate with side order of smoked wings. - Barbeque Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

In town while traveling back from a week-long trip to Florida. Went searching for a local BBQ joint and boy did we find one. Everything we had was wonderful. Good portions and great food. Especially enjoyed the wings. Had pulled pork, fried pickles, wings, slaw, mac & cheese, & fries. I don't pretend to be an expert as it pertains to food, but my entire family enjoyed this meal. read more

I could eat their chicken wings everyday. The fried green tomatoes were delicious too. I will definitely be back.

Their pulled pork is great! Their hush puppies are wonderful. Their tea is wonderful. Their coconut cake is fantastic!! You definitely need to try it if you're a coconut cake fan. I'll be trying their ribs next. read more

I hate to give this restaurant a 3* as my first visit was 5*+ but the second visit.... like Jekyll and Hyde. I ordered the wings again and they were so overcooked and dry I couldn't finish them. I'm going to try this place again though based on the 1st experience read more

Made a trip back TN from Texas and was in search of some good southern pulled pork bbq. This place was excellent. Maybe even the best pulled pork I've ever had. So good that I ordered a sandwich to go as well! Also ordered baked beans and a piece of peanut butter pie, which were both delicious. The restaurant is nice and clean. The service was excellent too. If you are in the area, you gotta stop here. read more

The Slick Pig has great BBQ... Nice place to order from if you are needing to feed a big group of people. Excellent food catering big parties!!! Food great and they have some of the best wings in town - OMG!!!! Enjoy. read more

I've never had anything from here that wasn't fabulous. The wings are the best ever, and my son and I both love the Brunswick Stew.

We tried a little bit of everything and everything was fabulous. Everyone in the family said that the slick pig was their favorite barbecue. We happened to stop in at the same time as a local baseball team ... Despite the rush on them, the food was out quick and we still received great personalized service. The brisket was my favorite. read more

You can't go wrong with slick pig. I love their smoked wings and banana pudding. If you like potato salad, they have the best in town. Great ribs and BBQ. I'm not sure about the dine in experience, we always get it to go. I have never heard a complaint from anyone I know. read more

I hadn't eaten here in years, because my last experience was horrible. I thought I would give it another chance, and alas, my expectations were once again shattered. The BBQ is mediocre, not a lot of smoked flavor. BUT, good portions. The Coleslaw, IS awesome. The wings were really dry, and hard. The fried dill pickles, which I couldn't wait to try, (since I have tried pretty much ALL of them) due to the sign that states, and I quote..."BEST FRIED DILL PICKLED IN TOWN". Where ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. They were $3.99.(which is the going rate for an order here in town at most places) and there was only about a HANDFUL in our order. You can get a HUGE basket (enough for 4 people) for that price at Kirkenburks. And about half of that portion at TOOT'S, for LESS! They were breaded in corn meal, which is just horrendous. They were also spicy. I don't know WHO told them they were the "BEST IN TOWN", but they just flat out lied. We should have just went on to JIM N NICKS. =D We'll never go back. read more

Good enough and solid enough to rate 3-Stars, which isn't bad. We kind of drove out of our way as our initial trip to Murfreesboro was to visit a location that had closed; Papa's Hot Sauce Store and BBQ Restaurant; they no longer serve BBQ. Since our trip started in Tullahoma, it was a long trip to not get what you were after. So we sought out another BBQ place in Murfreesboro. As you can see from the picture I had ribs. The ribs were "good" but not outstanding and not worth the long trip that we made. If you are close by and want some good BBQ, certainly check it out. But Don't go out of the way! read more

Slick Pig BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Salty food. Just salty. Not a lot of love put into the food. Not an inviting atmosphere. Will never eat here again.
