Our friends recommended this place on our way to their place in Florida. I am glad they did! This place had made some of the best of lists. And for good reason! This is a really big restaurant. We had our dog so we got it to go and sat outside. There are a couple of tables there. There is a separate to go order area, which is nice. The food was phenomenal! We got brisket, chicken and sausage. And some spicy burnt ends! The chicken was the star. But everything was great. Including the sides. We also got some fresh fried pork rinds to go, they were cracking when they came out! So good! This is a great place to get some BBQ in the area We will be back! read more

Food 3.5/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 Smok'n Pig feels like the definition of the local barbecue joint, and they've got something for everyone, with the space to hold everyone too. The setup is quite nice, with many barbecue sauces to choose from and a whole salad and dessert bar for those who fancy them. The ribs I ordered were quite nice but on the drier side, and it's been a really long time since I had great fried okra - they knocked that out of the park. Overall, this was a comforting experience! read more

Smok'n Pig BBQ - Baby Back Ribs Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Valdosta, Georgia

Came here on the way through Valdosta earlier this year when it was snowing. Blown away by how good the food was. We love going to different bbq shops when we travel. We consider ourselves snobs. A lil pricey but within reason. Good portion sizes and fun ambiance. read more

Im not even a Bbq person but i love it here. True southern hospitality. You can smell the bbq a cooking a mile before even showing up to the place. Hanging out in the rocking chairs with a dessert after a good meal is highly recommended for the full experience read more

Odd experience. we ordered fairly quickly and the staff were nice. however, the food took a very long time and we never got our appetizer. once the food finally came out, the brisket looked like a soggy bandaid & was tough, and the ribs smelled like fish. the sweet potato soufflé was really good, the pulled chicken was fine, and the mac and cheese was meh. the waitress did offer to remove the ribs from our ticket, so that was fine. everything was either mediocre or disgusting. sorry :/ read more

We LOVE Smokin Pig's pulled pork! Living in the Tampa Bay area, we try to time our trips to Atlanta so that we can stop on the way up or back. Yesterday's visit was again spectacular. Their pulled pork is truly mouthwatering and delicious! My husband even ordered a sandwich to go so he can eat that today. On this visit, service from Natalie was outstanding. She was very friendly and attentive to all our questions and needs. We left with 6 bottles of their delicious barbecue sauce and look forward to our next visit!! read more

There were pros and cons at Smok'n Pig. In the car headed back to hotel and husband says, 'That's a meal I just want to forget'. Bottom line, sorry we went and won't go back. Salad bar was fresh with good options. Chicken and ribs were so dry we couldn't get them down without water. Sides were meh except for sweet potato soufflé. Corn bread served dry without any butter. It was obvious the meat was prepared at some point in the past and then sat in a warming tray for however long...maybe microwaved to warm up as chicken was cool to the touch? Service was good and atmosphere was nice. Price point very reasonable. If you want salad and dessert, go for it. Cobbler was delicious. Overall, however, main dishes and sides were just not good at all. read more

I was traveling through Valdosta and found this place on Yelp, so glad I did. The service was top notch, waitress was super friendly and the food came out quickly. I went with the 1/2 rack of St. Louis style ribs, a sweet potato, collard greens, and an extra side of fried okra. All the sides were outstanding but those ribs were the star of the show - smoked perfectly, tender, with just a slight pull off the bone. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could, don't miss it if you are in Valdosta and are looking for authentic BBQ. read more

Can't beat them for great BBQ! Excellent atmosphere and the waitstaff were very friendly and fast. We will be back next time we are in town. read more

We were passing through and stopped for a late lunch. We shared the three meat combo. We chose brisket, pork, and chicken. The chicken was a leg/thigh combo and was a bit small. The pork and the brisket were both tender, marbled, and moist. The meal came with two sides and we opted to upgrade to two salad and dessert bars. The salad bar was loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, ham, peppers, prepared salads, and a variety of dressings. The dessert bar had banana pudding, cobbler, and soft serve ice cream. Service was friendly and quick. In fact, our meal was coming when we were returning with our salads. Plenty of seating and unique pig decor rounded out our visit. Well worth our first visit. read more

I enjoyed takeout form this southern charm restaurant while is was traveling They have a great salad bar that is priced by weight, unless you dine in The smoked chicken was juicy and the right amount of smoke Staff was friendly, large parking lot And I would look forward to dining in sometime read more

Good food, good service, good prices! Enjoyed our dinner here. Kids eat free on Monday! read more

Tried this for the first time recently and was really loving the food until I got a piece of pork bone in my mouth while eating the pulled pork. read more

The only reason I can give this place one star is the burnt ends. They were good. Very good. Service was also good. Then there was the brisket. $20 worth of meat that I literally fed to my dog. It was the worst I've ever had in a lifetime of eating barbecue. See attached pictures. I asked for moist. I got the kind of brisket that probably will go to Mars because it's desiccated. The good news is you get a lot. The bad news is it's like eating the unholy union of jerky and cardboard. Additionally, whatever high school kid in the back is cutting the brisket doesn't know you're supposed to cut your dry nasty brisket AGAINST the grain. I got takeout while I was in Valdosta and only discovered the food was terrible after the restaurant had closed. They opened later than I needed to leave in the morning or I would've brought it back for the manager to sample. I spent a lot of time in the restaurant business. How any manager let that go out the door is beyond me. read more

Just have to say the smoke chicken was the best I have ever eaten. Salad and dessert bar were clean and organized and rally. Kate was an excellent waitress. Keep up the good work gang. i'm not usually one to post on yelp for good service. read more

We stopped in on a trip down to Jacksonville. It was packed but we still got a table without any wait. Food was really good. We got a variety of items and all hit the mark. On top of the good food, the pricing and amount you get makes this a solid stop for those on a budget but wanting some good BBQ. Our waitress, Hannah, was super friendly and stopped in several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Also, don't skip out on the salad bar. Very clean, fresh, and a more options than your standard salad bar. A steal for $2.99. Will be stopping in to the Smok'n Pig in the near future for sure! read more

The food was tasty. The service was quick, our waitress was pleasant. There were some noisy kids around, so maybe not for a romantic date, but fine for a friends/fun/family meal. The ice cream looked a little weird, but was surprisingly delicious. read more

Cute restaurant. Love the decor. Love the add-ons for salad and dessert bar, however I feel the dessert bar could be better. Our food was good but the water was TERRIBLE! It had a horrible taste and smell so we did not continue drinking it. We asked what type of smoker they used but the waitress didn't know and had to ask. She returned and stated they use a wood smoker. Back home you see smoke rolling from pellet smokers so we were curious if they were using an electric smoker. The food was good but didn't have that traditional smoky flavor. We were so excited to try the sweet potato waffle fries only to find out they don't have them anymore. The Mac and cheese was still cold in the middle of the cup and was very bland. read more

Amazing bbq and service. Texas brisket was great. Sweet tee was real and bad beens were the deal

Yummy Fast service The dine in is good as well as calling ahead for take out It is hard to beat great bbq read more

Holy Cow!!! If you like BBQ then make the stop! Great food, from the brisket to the fried okra (definitely try the sweet potato soufflé)...it was all delicious. The only thing better than the food was the service. Madison was our server and she was on point!!! Friendly, attentive and super helpful with me purchasing extra BBQ sauce! Great country feel and nobody rushing you out! We will be back the next time we come through the area! read more

First time here and the food was not bad. It was... just okay. Average price for BBQ. The extra add-on for the salad and dessert bar was not bad though. Service was good, the waitress was super tentative. Location of this place is not bad either. It's close off the highway/interstate so if you were to make a pit stop to grab a bite, this place would be it. Huge restaurant with plenty of seatings and plenty of free parking outside. read more

Held my mom's birthday party here. The staff was excellent in orchestrating the event and making her feel special. The food is pretty good. It's not the best BBQ I ever had, but it's pretty good. I enjoyed the ribs. I would have liked the sausage to have a little char on it, but that is my preference. The sweet potato casserole was yummy also. If I am back it town, I will come back again. read more

So glad we stayed nearby on our road trip. The hotel clerk recommended it, and I will come back every time I am in the area. Brisket and pork were so tender, bbq beans were so delicious, and the cornbread was perfect. Brunswick stew was good, but I would try the collards or slaw next time. Wish we had eaten there but maybe next time. The platters I saw coming out of the kitchen were amazing. They had piles of onion rings or fries and the salad bar looked so fresh! read more

I order takeout every time. My order has never been wrong at all, even down to the sauces and utensils. Food is always 100% impeccable, perfectly prepared and oh so good. Incredibly attentive and professional staff. Easy take out process, dedicated area for takeout and merch. My favorite restaurant for my work travels in the Valdosta area for sure! Can't wait to bring my family here to sit down and eat. 5+ stars! read more

I used to love smokin pig. It was my favorite bbq place. I am not sure if it was because we went kid afternoon or what. Or maybe that the manager had the music so loud we couldn't hear each other talking. And he wound t turn it down either. Today I ordered a trio with double ribs brisket fries and green beans. The ribs tasted like they were reheated. I was so disappointed. The brisket was actually dry. Green beans and fries were very good. It want a good day for smokin pig. read more

Ordered smoke wings & pulled chicken plate. The wings were hard & tasted old. The sauce just fell off the wings. All the sauce was in the boat. They should have been sauced & placed back on the grill. Food came out toooo fast I knew it was a set up. My pulled chicken sandwich had big hard pieces in it. It was sloppy and the bbq sauce was nasty. Mac & cheese potato salad trash. NEVER AGAIN!!! Food tasted old & microwaved. Wings were too hot not to come out a microwave. read more

This is my 2nd time here when we travel through Valdosta. We remembered it from the Brunswick stew! It is my favorite because they use peas instead of Lima beans. I had the Brunswick stew and grilled cheese it did not disappoint! My hubs had the brisket with Cole slaw and baked beans. He was impressed with the amount of meat given. Service was great and we were seated right away. When we got there the high school football team was leaving and it got quieter. The meal was inexpensive and that's always a plus! read more

Before leaving Valdosta, I decided to grab a bite to eat. I saw Smok'n Pig BBQ and decided to stop to get a to go order. The parking lot was huge and full of cars for lunch. The restaurant is also large, but they seem to get the people in fairly fast. I was short on time, so I called ahead to get some of the smoked wings and a side salad. I was surprised at how good this food was, and the price was reasonable. I love that they have a salad bar which I haven't seen before in a barbecue restaurant. I made a delicious salad, but my favorite on the salad bar had to be the chicken salad. It was delicious. Next time I'm sitting and dining in when I come. read more

We have eaten here for years. When we got there tonight, the first thing we saw was that the salad bar and dessert no longer comes with your meal anymore you have to pay $4. When we got our food, the meat was good as usual. However the bbq beans tasted like they had just opened a can and heated them up, not even any bbq sauce. The okra was hard, crusty and cold. The toast was cold. I don't think we will be back read more

I stopped by for lunch because I was in the mood for southern eats and found this place. I'm glad I did. The food was absolutely delicious! Our server was a sweetheart. I loved that the collard greens weren't too salty and that the corn bread wasn't too sweet. The ribs were worth the drive. For a few extra bucks you can pick up items at the salad and desert bar. The restaurant was nice and clean. All in all I highly recommend this place to anyone. Here you won't be disappointed nor do you have to pay an arm and a leg to eat hood southern food! read more

On a temp work trip to Valdosta and everyone raved about this spot. I ordered Brunswick Stew on my way out, but when I got back to Atlanta and prepared to dig in, it was a watered down tomato soup with no meat and a few kernels of corn! Sooo disappointed read more

Shared the baby back ribs, brisket, and smoked sausage with my husband and it was amazing. Cole slaw and sweet potato soufflé were also excellent. Will definitely go back when in Valdosta again read more
