The food is amazing. Brisket, sausage, pulled pork, ands ribs are all good. Fries are seasoned well and the hush puppies are stellar, too.

food is top notch, great ambiance, great service. highly recommended for steak and seafood nights on Friday and Saturdays

Good Bbq for the area, my favorite was the cornbread a must try. My kids enjoyed the food as they grew up in the south

My husband and I stopped on the way to MI. We sat in the bar side in the booth. If you are kind of big person it maybe a tight squeeze for you. We were there in the afternoon so it was quiet in sense not a lot of talking noise and music at same time. The wait staff were great! Very polite and offered suggestions when asked. We decided to split a full rack of ribs and two sides. Ribs were excellent with a great smoky flavor and tender melts in your mouth well at least mine. No sauce needed in my opinion. Now my husband loved their award winning sauce and it did taste good. Potato salad was made different than what I ever had before. Honestly it wasn't my fav but I would give 4/5. Coleslaw was good. I would like it to have been cut a little bit finer so I had to do it myself. The taste was excellent. Highly recommend to stop in if you love BBQ. Plus the staff are real friendly. read more

Soul Pig BBQ - Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Indiana

Came in with my wife, 2 kids and realtor for a lunch, wanted to check out the area since we are planning of moving out this way. Cannot say enough great things about Soul Pig!!! The service was top notch, the food was some of the best bbq I've ever had and fair/cheap priced! Just signed a contract on a house about 40 minutes away and will be making this a family favorite!!! read more

My wife and I had an early dinner here. She had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the sliced brisket sandwich. Both were piled high. If my brisket was less than half a pound I'd be surprised. The meat was tender and juicy. We had the competitive BBQ sauce. The fries were an overly generous portion. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Absolutely no complaints. As a former Decatur-ite I know I'll be back. read more

The wings are so good. The service was really fun and easy to order with as well. I tried some of the other stuff the people I was with got and all of it was so good. read more

I have been hearing about Soul Pig for a long time since moving to Van Wert, but never went. One day I had to travel to the post office in Decatur to renew my passport and drove through downtown Decatur and saw that Soul Pig was there. I decided to come back, bring my family and try it out. We came one friday night, days before Christmas 2023. It was a frigid night and we were hoping some good bbq could bring some warmth. We came in, the place was packed. In order to get a table, we told them we would be willing to sit in the only picnic style table they had in the place. Not the most comfortable choice, but we were famished! Its not a large restaurant, so theres not a lot of tables available if you do come. The waiter quickly got our drink order, beers. We also ordered an appetizer. We started out by trying the pepper-jack and bacon hushpuppies. They were full of flavor, heat and also had a surprising sweetness to them. I can now understand why all of the recommendations I got about Soul Pig stressed the need to try this from their menu. I can see them being addicting. We then ordered our main courses. My mom got the mixed bbq platter of two meats and two sides. She only really wanted the bbq pulled pork, but my brother and I wanted to try out the smoked sausage. So we got that off her plate. Her sides were collard greens and baked beans. she loved her dish, and we also loved the sausage. My brother ordered the Marko Burger with fries which we enjoyed. I ordered the special which was the prime rib... it was amazing... The food was fantastic, the service was excellent. We will certainly come back! read more

The worst hamburger I have had in a long time. Ordered it medium rare. Came out gray in the center. No juice. If had not been my only meal of the day. I would have thrown it in the trash. Not even feed it to my dog. read more

The food was amazing with large portions.. I ordered a blackberry margarita and it was soooo delicious and service was great. read more

Last two times we were there the meat was dry, service was good, drinks were reasonable if they just get the meat done right it would be a good dining experience read more

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So here is one of what I can only describe as the worst brisket of my life. Every bit as awful as it looks. 3 stars bc my dude loved his pulled pork sandwich and my kid ate the mac and cheese and she is a notoriously picky eater. Just don't get the brisket. read more

Soul Pig BBQ - Awful Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Indiana

I work in downtown Decatur and I sadly do not visit Soul Pig enough. The food is always excellent, just beating the awesome service always provided! The smoked wings are amazing every single time (I need the recipe!) read more

We would often drive past this place heading to the airport but never stopped until today. Their brisket is absolutely the best I have ever eaten! The waitress made you feel like part of their family! We will make this place our stop when we pass by in the future! read more

Nice neighborhood- the pictures show the downtown of Decatur, IN. So pretty and quaint. Note- Don't take a rum drinker to a whiskey bar, they will only be disappointed. https://youtu.be/PAK5blgfKWM The brisket and chicken were delicious. Fried green tomatoes are seasonal, but the pickles were available, salty, and had a great sauce. If by chance things go amiss, and I bet they won't. Don't fret- your server will fix things immediately and you will be super pleased with your experience. I hope we end up on this detour again. I will be back when we have another work visit to this town and this restaurant. Go- don't wait. Eat in the bar- the seats are comfy and watching the kitchen is part of the fun. If you are like us- 500 miles from home, the brisket may just be worth the trip. So much food that leftovers will probably get us from here to half way through Kansas by lunch. https://youtu.be/PAK5blgfKWBacon MacBeef BrisketSliced Brisket read more

This place is amazing!!! Food was beyond delicious and the service was excellent too!!! We will most definitely be back.

When you have traveled 2000 miles you want something spectacular and Soul Pig checks all the boxes!!! Did the 3 meat platter and one choice was the jalapeño cheddar-perfect amount of flavor and heat!! Brisket and ribs were the other two and again- perfect! Brother-in-law and I always make a visit!! For Heck Yes awesome barbecue!! Cravings!!! read more

Love the ambiance of this restaurant. Service has always been great. Don't serve beer in bottles, can only. Pork is on the salty side but their burgers are fantastic! read more

We ate here at 2:30 pm for lunch. Sandwiches were generous, excellently prepared and presented. Fries and salads good. Watched music videos and animal videos while we waited. Our server was attentive and friendly. read more

So my wife and I went to this nice little place last night for dinner while she was on a business trip in town and all the reviews and everything we've heard about it suggested that this place Is phenomenal. From the outside it really doesn't look like much, on the inside it's still kind of looks like a dive bar. The food and however was delicious. Everything had a great smoky taste, was very tender, and looked to be of great quality. The reason I only gave this place 3 stars is because while my wife was sipping her drink last night a shared of glass that was inside her drink came up through her straw and cut her lip. At this point in our night we really didn't want to cause a scene or bring it to the attention of the waitress who also really wasn't that friendly anyway and treated us more like an inconvenience than a customer. We felt it was best just to pay and leave. Although the food was delicious, we will never go back. Side note: pay attention to your bill: I ordered and was given a Jameson whiskey on the rocks ($7) and was charged for a Maker's Mark ($10). read more

Soul Pig BBQ - A feast fit for a king! Except for the shard of glass in my wife's drink! - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Indiana

We ordered bacon & pepper-jack hush puppies, chicken quarter with bacon mac-n-cheese and collar greens, brisket cheddar burger with fries, peach cobbler mixed drink and java the red beer. My rating from 2018 of 2 stars remains. It took 2 years for me to try Soul Pig again. Again we were disappointed. The hushpuppies were over cooked - fried so long the were dried out and dark brown.. similar color as the chicken. We didnt taste any bacon or heat from pepper-jack. They were sweet like an over fried Jiffy muffin. The chicken had a good smoke flavor but was dry. The burger was ordered medium but came very well done. The brisket topping was also dry, but had a good flavor. The fries were ok. The mac-n-cheese tasyed good but was luke warm. The collargreens were horrible. This was the order of taste experience: bitter, very salty, vinegary, spicy. I took 2 bites and left the rest. Take these off the menu or find a better recipe. You always save the best bites for last... ours were the drinks. I will say that both barbeque sauces were good. I would buy the sweet barbecue if it were in stores. read more

Food was ok but be prepared to pay if you decide you don't like what you ordered and you choose something else you will pay for both items our waitress neglected to tell us this all she said is we have a very unique menu... Well I'm a very unique tipper read more

When I go out for BBQ, I have high expectations when it comes to my food experience. I was extremely disappointed with what I was served. I got a two meat plate with two sides, collard greens and black eyed peas. The greens were cooked to mush and were over salted. The peas also were overcooked and again heavy on the salt. Biggest let down was the meat itself. I love smoke flavor and it wasn't there in the pulled pork or in the turkey. Both were dry, salty, and completely lacking in any kind of smoke. The brisket my husband has was dry and had zero smoke to it. For what we paid I was expecting more and it wasn't there at all. I'll stick to my husband's BBQ. read more

The food here is sooooooo good! I've ate here on several occasions and I've yet to have a bad experience. My personal favorite is the pimento cheeseburger (and I don't even normally like pimento) with the cuke onion & tomato salad as my side. the wait staff is attentive and friendly. I am only giving it a 4 instead of a 5 simply due to the fact that I wish the servings were just a bit bigger. read more

Sat at a table near the bar. Faint smell of urine. Not the cleanest tables/floors. Waitress was unaware of what kinds of gin they served. Drinks were weak. Food was over-salted and pretty bland otherwise. The music could have put our hyperactive dog to sleep. Not much to recommend here. read more

Service is awesome ,Ashley was our waitress and was very very good . Atmosphere was really fun and interesting . Come HUNGRY!!! there portions are huge . I would even suggest the restaurant serve one piece of bread , with room for more if you ask . I felt bad we did not eat all our bread and I'm sure it was thrown away . Yet seeing two breads with the platter was a good presentation . The food was very very good , I had brisket and ribs with corn bread . The cornbread was HUGE . My man had a huge chicken leg and ribs . With all the fixings . Blue cheese Cole slaw was a choice of a side . I tried it and liked it . This is a must place to go for a great lunch or dinner . In the old downtown area which is also very quaint . read more

Soul Pig BBQ - Tender Brisket, great ribs, huge warm cornbread . Cole slaw behind bread . Pickle and red onion . Butter . - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Indiana

After a completely horrible morning I stopped here because their yelp page menu shows they had a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. When I got there they however did not have a Nashville hot chicken sandwich on the menu. But the meal that I got instead was absolutely wonderful. Ribs, cornbread and slaw plus some coconut, pineapple adult drinking that was wonderful. read more

They have really good bbq. I'm very picky bout my bbq but liked theirs. Call ahead and order tho cause they are super busy.

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my family and Soul Pig did not disappoint! I got the smoked turkey - thick, moist, juicy slabs- and the house-smoked sausage - spicy, flavorful, tender with crisp outer casing - and was more than satisfied. Portions were large, the sides were tasty, the side of pickles and onions added a great extra punch of color and taste. The server was attentive and the food came pretty fast. The decor is rustic, tasteful, on trend but not overly predictable, and everything was clean. Very enjoyable experience. I've been stationed in Texas for years and had my share of bbq nationwide; this would compete well with anything else I've had. Happy to see a delicious local option in my home town. read more

Wow! Don't think that this is just any bbq place. The meats are amazing and the sides are just as delicious. I was skeptical of the jalapeño cornbread, but it blew me away. I love the tomato cucumber salad and the baked beans were the perfect sweetness - not too much! Service was friendly and prompt. read more

AMAZINGLY delicious BBQ and really the entire menu. The BBQ (pulled pork, brisket, etc) is super tender and savory, and the sammiches and other such items, including the sides, are just super original and so tasty. Environment is laid back, southern blues/rock/jazz motif. There is a bar side and dining room side, and both are quite nice. Beer selection is decent as well, with and ever-changing list of craft brews. Prices are very reasonable and portions are YUGE. If you haven't been to Soul Pig in the heart of downtown Decatur, you are missing out. read more

Soul Pig BBQ - Three meat platter - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Indiana

Been here several times, carry out once - always delicious. Service is great and the owner is extremely friendly and helpful. The BBQ is spot on and no one could possibly complain about the portions! Worth the trip to Decatur. read more

Best restaurant in Decatur. Kinda pricey... but who cares. Meat portion sizes are GREAT. Beer selection is good. Cool atmosphere... you don't feel like you're in Decatur. I recommend just getting the 2 meat platter w sides... and convince someone at your table to get the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich... and eat some of it because it's BOMB. Daily specials are delicious. Note to Soul Pig: put your chicken and waffles on the regular menu! That was incredible. read more

Best place in the small town of Decatur,Indiana! This place has the best BBQ food and drinks. We love trying their specials. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more

Pretty tasty BBQ Texas Melt was really tasty! Cream corn tasted really strange though. I'll definitely be back because everything else was amazing read more

Great bbq and decent service. Prices are good too. We get the three meats, two sides and it fills up two adults for under $20.00. Mac and cheese is great and the greens are wonderful too. Definitely a fav in Decatur read more

Stopped in for lunch and had the Nashville hot chicken. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The sandwich overall was very good. I also had the blue cheese slaw, it was just ok. The hush puppies were pretty good also. I felt that the price was fair, I paid around 20 for a sandwich with a side and an appetizer. Overall I think this place beats most places in Decatur as there is not a lot of choice besides fast food and outdated food. I will be back! read more

Best place I have eaten in a long time! We got the family feast to get a taste of everything, it was all fantastic! Back to Milwaukee for me, wish Milwaukee had a BBQ place this good, until next time Decatur, IN! read more
