As a Texas girl the brisket was amazing. It was so tender and moist! Add to that the Texas toast was fantastic. We had brisket, smoked chicken that fell off the bone and sides! Great road trip stop read more

Came in Al lots of local in and out picking up orders... staff was Great. I ordered a Brisket plate and they accidentally brought me pork but the register guy quickly corrected the problem and let me keep the pork as well. Of the in house sauces I like the HOT the best (it was not very hot), it was a mustard based sauce. The brisket was a little over cooked but still tasty, always love some collard greens and the Lexington stew was nice as well... over all a solid meal. 4 stars over all read more

I was sure this place was going to be amazing based off the reviews. Sadly it was super underwhelming. I got the chicken sandwich, and the chicken was so dry and old I had to drench it in bbq sauce to try and eat it without choking . I ended up having to just take the bread off and try and eat it that way because it kept falling off the bun. Nothing comes on it. It's just plain unseasoned chicken and a bun. It was as if they took it out of the fridge and put it in the microwave. I got Brunswick stew that tasted like nothing but canned peas. And the turnips had to of been out of a can. Maybe their nack is pork, but they definitely missed it on the chicken and turnips and stew. I've also never been to a bbq place in the south that doesn't have pickles for sandwiches. All they had was sour Jared pickle spears. The ladies working also acted as if they were absolutely miserable being there. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here. I needed a quick stop for lunch while passing thru, exactly what i expected. Southern fare and hospitality at its finest, bbq style. Will hopefully stop thru again if in the area. Menu on the wall right when you walk in... don't walk past like most people do. read more

Absolutely amazing bbq...roadside service with damn good fixings. Line was a tad long, but that's because they are great to eat. Will stop back here for sure. read more

This was quite a pleasant surprise. Driving from FL to SC we pulled off 95 and found this little jewel. You order at the counter and your food is brought out. The interior is quaint and has a rustic feel. The seats are picnic tables. The meats were very well prepared and moist. All of the sides were excellent and prices were very reasonable for the large portions you're given. Definitely will stop again if we are in the area. read more

Well, this place is disappointing. We stopped by for dinner given the high ratings. After our visit, we infer the ratings stem from locals who support this place but who may lack experience tasting quality southern BBQ, or from visitors who haven't experienced great southern BBQ and think this spot is an adequate representative of this category of eatery. We ordered two meals with drinks and desserts for around $58: Brisket plate ($18) Ribs plate with two sides ($21) Pros: Both meals come with buttered toast. Excellent! But we can make buttered toast at home. Two banana pudding desserts were tasty! Cons: The brisket and the ribs were overly salty, so much so that no amount of BBQ sauce could mask the taste. We wonder if they use MSG at this place. The BBQ sauce presents a sugary taste. So, we found ourselves trying to mask salt with sugar --- not smart or a great combination. All of the sides were either tasteless, foul, or both. Hair, we presume human hair, we're in our dishes of BBQ beans. The taste was foul -- just off. The potato salad was not fresh or homemade. We suspect it stems from a low-quality off-the-shelf product. The coleslaw had too much vinegar or some other additive. The taste was a departure from what most diners would expect for this offering. Worst of all was the Brunswick Stew --- not even close to what a competent chef in this region would call Brunswick Stew. In our case, a foul smell and taste were present --- we're not sure in retrospect what was in this offering. After we finished our toast and banana puddings and sampled the entrees, we got up, threw out the rest of our meal, and left. If you're hungry and looking for great BBQ along the Georgia Coast, hang on (if you're headed south) for another 40 minutes and exit I-95 at exit 38 for St Simons Island. There you will find a 5-star BBQ place: Southern Soul BBQ. You can find the reviews for Southern Soul on Yelp. As for this place --- avoid it. read more

I stopped by to pick up a BBQ sandwich for a late lunch. Service was quick and I found myself on my way in no time. I thoroughly enjoyed my smokey, pulled pork sandwich and was happy that it was served sauceless and not dripping/drowning in sauce. You have four sauces to choose from to accompany your BBQ: mild, sweet, hot, spicy vinegar. This is a casual spot, just off I-95, where in addition to sandwiches they have smoked chicken, brisket, ribs, plenty of side options, and a kids menu. Grad it and go or eat inside. read more

The Yelp reviews were so positive and when we walked in we were optimistic. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. The ribs were fatty and dry, the pulled pork was bland and dry but on the plus side it was not fatty. The Mac and cheese was terrible, and seemed like it had been sitting around for a while. The sweet potato was good. Also the restrooms needed to be cleaned. read more

convenient location off 95. Stopped for a nice evening out with my family. First appearance, the restaurant was clean, menu in front, and the cashier was helpful. We ordered ribs and brisket which were both delicious. HOWEVER.. there seemed to be a lot of loud commotion between staff while we were there. An older employee was loudly berating and was very clearly upset, all in front of customers, which created a very uncomfortable atmosphere. It really took away from the experience. Management seriously needs to improve in this behavior because it shouldn't be happening where guests can see and hear it. Ultimately, after a long day of driving and wanting peace and dinner with family, this was the last thing I wanted to happen. Please improve staff! read more

The service was top tier. Sweet, attentive, and honestly the best part of the whole visit. But the food? Eeeeyuck. I got a chicken plate with turnip greens, potato salad, and Brunswick stew. The chicken was alright, but those sides... bless it. I got home and tried to doctor them up myself, and even that couldn't save the situation. The turnip greens tasted like they came straight out the can and got warmed up with a prayer. And not near one thing on that plate tasted like seasoning had been invited to the gathering. But I will say this again... the service was amazing. read more

based on all these other great reviews I was really looking forward to eating here. I had passed the Midway location a couple times after I moved down here and I had a real craving for barbecue. I was really looking forward to it. I finally got a chance to go try it with some friends over so I placed a large to go order for 2 pounds of pulled pork, 2 quarts of Brunswick stew, and some macaroni and cheese. I knew as soon as I walked in the door to a completely empty restaurant with no one even at the counter that I had made a mistake. Finally, after several attempts to let them know there was a customer out front (next to the cash register)..., some teenage girl came out of the back, asked my name and then handed me a bag that appeared to have my order in it. She at least said thank you and then disappeared into the back room again. When I got home, the pulled pork was mediocre at best but at least seemed like it was made the same day. The bag smelled funny all the way home and when I got there I realized why. I opened up the quart of Brunswick stew to find some totally burnt, liquid less mash of what might used to have been brunswick stew a few days ago. It smelled horrible and was like a solid mass of burnt gunk you would find at the bottom of one of those steamer pans in a cafeteria. The macaroni and cheese was edible but the Brunswick too smelled rotten and burnt and really took everyone's appetite away so I just threw the whole order away. I wasted over $70 with tip on taking a chance that a barbecue place in South Georgia, ironically very close to the city of Brunswick, might actually have decent barbecue and Brunswick stew. This place was horrible. So bad I'm not even going to bother calling them to try and do anything about it. I mean what would they do?, Give me a another meal like this? No thanks. I strongly recommend you avoid this place at all costs. It was gross and burnt. I really hope that this was an exception and that this place doesn't serve that inedible burnt mess to other people. I feel really taken advantage of. read more

No frills, worthwhile non-chain pit stop! We were in and out in 25 minutes which is great when you want to eat well on a road trip. The brisket lives up to the hype with beautifully rendered flavorful fat and the house mild barbecue sauce has a perfect mustard vinegar base. All the sides are home made and they do nothing fried which is refreshing. I got the turnip greens which were delightful with the spicy vinegar sauce and the banana pudding (which the hostess shared that you can sub for a side btw!). #worthit read more

Not to be confused the Smokin Pig in Clemson (technically Pendleton), THIS Smokin Pig place is the best BBQ I've had in the state of Georgia. The brisket is so damn good. I'm glad I had the sense to get the brisket plate and add BBQ. Fell off tThe sides I picked were baked beans (which I always have to check out) and a baked potato (more of a panic decision). The pulled pork was also good. Buddy had mac and cheese which was good - more of a creamy m&c than a baked variation. Service was good- you order at the counter. Food came out quick. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a BBQ joint. read more

Hubby and I along with his brother and our sister-in-law stopped in for lunch while on the drive from Jacksonville to Savannah. BBQ sounded good to all of us so we headed over to the Smokin' Pig. I ordered the brisket plate with baked beans, turnip greens and Texas toast. Hubby ordered a pulled pork sandwich with baked beans. The food came out quickly and was tasty! I enjoyed my brisket which was not overly fatty or dry. The baked beans were delicious, good amount of sweetness. The turnip greens were flavorful and cooked very well. I also really liked their sauces especially the vinegar and sweet options. Overall, great little spot for some good BBQ! read more

The parking lot is a little rough and the building might be a bit dated but this is old school Georgia Bar-B-Q at its best. The pulled pork and chopped chicken were smoked perfect. The Bar-B-Q beans were a tad thick but really tasty. The cole slaw was excellent. The potato salad needed more mayo but was still good. We only bought one banana pudding because I've never been a fan but then we ended up fighting over it. It was incredibly good. It has to be grandma's recipe. The sweet tea was trailer park sweet. We told them we needed to go boxes they gave us so much food. They said they didn't want anyone to go home hungry. The price was fantastic. read more

The food itself was decent but it was very expensive and I spent every moment I sat in the dining room to eat listening to the staff loudly complain about how they were understaffed and angry. As someone who's been in the food industry- trust me, I get the frustration! I've been there and I understand those emotions fully. With that being said, go outback yell, scream, whatever you need to do to calm down- then come back and bring your best face to your customers. This was a first class mess! read more

Ribs good, brisket good, beans and corn good. Everything was pretty good but I'm sorry this place was we'll over priced.

Food was fantastic and service was great... I was traveling north on I 95 and saw a billboard... it was only a mile off the highway... Definitely will stop there every time I pass read more

Stopped here on a whim on the way back from a road trip. It doesn't look like much from the outside. Honestly, if I hadn't seen the reviews, I probably would have kept driving. The menu is on a chalkboard when you first come in. They have written in capital letters that they do not serve fries. They do, however, have Mac n cheese and baked beans, so all is good. We tried the chicken plate and brisket plate with coleslaw. Everything was good, but the brisket was amazing. Moist and full of flavor. The chicken had a great smoky flavor also. The staff was friendly. We even got a souvenir t-shirt. I know, such tourists. We are definitely adding this as a regular road trip stop. read more

We stopped here after a full day of driving. Cute atmosphere and very friendly employees. I got the pulled pork with baked beans and sweet bbq sauce hint got ribs with Mac and cheese.

Hard to beat for quality and price. Always fast to deliver or serve. The best Baked Beans!

Love the Buffett and the customer service. They have the best neckbones. Chicken is seasoned just right and always crispy.

We stopped in because of the reviews, and they weren't wrong in the meat. It was yummy ! I'm only giving a 4 star because the sides were not to our liking. 2 each their own, right? I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with cold slaw and baked beans as well as a banana pudding. Hubby (who is a brisket snob) ordered the brisket plate with baked beans and Brunswick stew and a brownie. I guess they read the order wrong because he got the sandwich, but after we pointed it Out, she brought out a to go container with brisket for the road. The slaw just wasn't pulled pork worthy, the stew lacked the smoked flavor we prefer but The beans were ok. The pudding is very good and hubby liked the sweet tea quite well. We will go back, mostly for the meat and bbq sauce. read more

12/3/22 Second stop on our way back down the road, stopped in to get some lunch and ordered pork, brisket and those good beans to take home to eat tomorrow or Monday. When we were turning off of 76 there was a tractor trailer infront of us I went to get gas and he parked on the side of the road, we left the gas station and came here when we were walking in the driver of the tractor tailer was walking out. I spoke to him and said picking up some good lunch, he saidI drive by here 2 times a week and I stop on my way back home and pickup dinner this place is awesome.. The banana pudding is really good a must try along with the pork and the brisket.. read more

Fantastic food. Probably the best banana puddin' I've ever had. Fantastic service and friendly employees.

We stopped and had a quick lunch here. Very nice pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. They do their BBQ right- no sauce on the meat... you add your own. Not a drop of grease to be had between the two sandwiches. The mac and cheese side was very satisfying ! Nice peeps running the place too. Be careful in the parking lot... there are pot holes big enough to swallow a small car. read more

Tidy little bbq place with diy zip line ordering spectacle. Stopped for gas nearby on my way to somewhere and had a hankering. Turned out to be a solid pulled pork sandwich with nice sides of slaw and turnip greens. The greens (eaten in my car) may have been my favorite part. That and the way they send order back by attaching slips with a weight to a line that goes back to the kitchen. The cashier flinched the order back on this little zip line. Very exciting. It was quiet on the mid afternoon Sunday I stopped in but not empty. I may never be back through but it added another roadside bbq experience to my list. read more

I was excited when I saw the high rating but was tremendously disappointed. The food was meh. It is over priced, small servings, and the brisket (which was recommended) was dryer than a saltine cracker. Think back to your middle school cafeteria, that is the quality of food you will be getting. read more

Laid back atmosphere. Seat yourself. The cashier/waitress was super helpful and friendly since it was our first time. My husband ordered the pork with two sides, Brunswick stew and greens. I ordered the sandwich with Mac and cheese. The food came fast. The bathroom was basic, but clean. Country music playing softly in the background. The Mac and cheese was from processed cheese, not horrible. Overall, I would come again. The pork was very good! read more

One of the worst aspects of road travel is finding a tasty meal that isn't unhealthy. Smokin' Pig is a healthy joint, but it does have some healthy options for customers to take advantage of. I came in a couple of days ago and preferred a 6oz BBQ chicken sandwich with two sides. I chose the coleslaw and baked beans. Service was fairly quick and the ladies at the register were pleasant although it was quite busy. We ate outside at one of the two outdoor tables. The chicken sandwich was good and I loved how it wasn't fried. I did however expect it to be pulled chicken. It was tasty with the sweet BBQ sauce I asked for. I did however not appreciate the regular hamburger bread that the sandwich came with. The coleslaw was pretty different from what I was expecting as well. It wasn't bad, but it was a sweet slaw but rather a mayonnaise and pepper based slaw. The baked beans are great. I gave my visit 4 stars but my baby really loved the baked beans so she bumps up the score to 5 stars. I'd stop here again and it is just a minute off the highway. read more

This place did the trick for our family due to wanting something besides the "Grade of C McDonalds " next door But the bbq wasn't good. If you know good bbq- you'll agree. As others mention, the bbq has a reheated vibe and lacking flavor. It did hit the spot for other reasons though! The service was super fast! Five stars for fast service! read more

Great food and service, if you're in a hurry, this is the place to go. Very affordable prices

We split a half rack and the pulled pork with Cole slaw, baked beans and toast. Portions were generous and service was good. Ribs were smokey and the sides were decent. My biggest problem was the ribs were dry, like really dry. It came off the bone but it was dry. That to me is not something I enjoy. And the pulled pork was also a little dry. So we had to use more sauce than normal and I found the sauces to be somewhat meh. read more

Just good old fashioned Bbq stopped for lunch while traveling conveniently located counter Oder food was brought out quickly

Pit stop on the way to Jax - called in order 45 minutes out and sooo worth the wait. We ordered carry out so no comment on ambiance but dining room is definitely clean but no frills at all. Food - brisket is one of my favorite things to eat so I was anxious to verify the rave reviews. It was definitely tender , juicy and flavorful but just a tad bit salty ... and I like to say that salt is my friend lol. We don't eat pork so not a lot of luck with the sides as most veggies have pork or ham base (as one should expect from a restaurant named after a pig ). They were very generous with the sides we could eat and the service was beyond great - very friendly and attentive staff. Brisket Sandwich - 4.5/5 (yummy) Loaded Brisket Baked Potato- 3.5/5 (needed a bit sprucing up with just brisket and cheese) Banana Pudding - 3.5/5 (kinda basic but not bad) COC - 4/5 Definitely worth a stop and will go again. read more
