    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!

    Awful Brisket
    Tee L.

    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.

    Across the street from restaurant.

    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

    A feast fit for a king! Except for the shard of glass in my wife's drink!

    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).

    Special brisket cheddar burger with fries and chicken quarter dinner with bacon mac-n-cheese and collar greens

    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.

    Smoked turkey, blue cheese slaw, pulled pork, & cucumber onion & tomato buttermilk salad.

    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.

    Tender Brisket, great ribs, huge warm cornbread . Cole slaw  behind bread .  Pickle and red onion . Butter .

    Food was not great. Probably go with a burger and fries because the other sides and meats taste very strange and not good.

    First time dining at Bru Burger in Fort Wayne. There were some good things and things that could…read morehave been better. The chicken tenders are battered there and very good. The onion rings are badgered in house and they were good. I ordered the bourbon horseradish smash burger and the burger was pretty crispy and cold when it arrived. The onion rings were cold as well. The waitress was nice and tried to make sure we had everything we needed. Good location, good decor, and decent seats at the table.

    Another outstanding visit to BRU Burger on the Landing. The staff here is still excellent. We…read morehad outstanding service all meal long. The waiter made us feel comfortable and welcomed. My wife loves the chicken tenders. They might be the best chicken tenders you every taste. The chicken is moist and juicy. The breading is a bit thicker, sweet and somewhat crunchy. Their homemade honey mustard dipping sauce is delicious. You can not go wrong with the chicken tenders! The Cole slaw is outstanding as well. It is mayo based and very creamy. The cabbage is fresh and has a nice crisp. The sauce has a little bit of spice and what seems like a hint of horseradish flavoring. Very good! The onion rings on this occasion were tough and overly crunchy. It almost hurt my teeth to bit into them. I've had them before with an outstanding taste. Regardless...these are handsome looking onion rings! I am not a burger fan. However, the Bourbon burger was simply delicious! The meat was tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare texture. The burger just melted in your mouth as you savored the burger juices. The bourbon sauce was very good without dominating the burger meat flavor. The sauce was very mild in spice and did have a slight bourbon flavoring.
