    What can I say about this place? If you like BBQ and Fried fish this is the place for you. The food is cheap and pretty good. Not my favorite BBQ in the world and definitely not as good as the first time I went. But shockingly the fried fish was quite tasty. Oddly enough I may even have to recommend that. The ambiance of this place is like a good ole redneck sports bar. Service is above average if not excellent. Waiter was quite friendly yet unspectacular. If I were in Waynesboro I'd consider this to be a top 5 ish spot on the area. Would recommend.

    Second time here and had the BBQ brisket sandwich, it was so tender and good! The bang bang shrimp was equally delicious. This place is really busy at nights and has a large outdoor area attached with plenty of seating inside and out. You can tell the locals love this place and it can get pretty loud even during lunch around the large bar area right in the middle of the main room. Always have had a good meal here, and wanted to stop by again since the server was so pleasant the last time. She made us feel at home with her personality, service is such an important asset that one will remember, it brought us back from afar. Employees are the face of the restaurant and I believe it is imperative to have the best well trained crew to represent a great experience! Overall, The Fishin Pig is definitely going to be a top choice, If I am ever in that area again.

    Was disappointed in this place. My companions both got pulled pork and Mac and cheese. Both meals were over cooked and dry. I got fish tacos, Jalapeno cornbread, and coleslaw. The cornbread was great. The tacos and slaw were under seasoned. My beer was delicious-Devils Backbone knows what they are doing in their brewery. Our server was supremely awesome. He made the visit worthwhile. Was way too loud inside and you could not hear the person next to you.

    I was excited to try this place for the catfish after getting a recommendation from a friend but I was a little disappointed with the catfish itself. The bang bang shrimp was absolutely delicious and the rest of the food was decent. It was extremely busy, which was a good sign but there was only one waitress there to serve everyone since apparently some folks had called out. Surprisingly, the waitress did well handling the large amount of customers as we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I'd like to go back and give the catfish another try. Next time perhaps.

    The pulled pork nachos are amazing. The waitress we had was very nice. The bathrooms are crazy. Them urinals look weird. Overall, the theme of the restaurant is very cool.

    This is a great place to dine in Waynesboro.. This is a cool bbq place. The interior has a great theme. The staff was super friendly - Britt is a Rockstar waitress. It was a toss-up between the catfish or brisket... I picked the brisket with beans and Mac and cheese. The brisket was good - the beans were awesome - the mac and cheese was good. The Texas and Carolina sauces were very Virginia versions - which was my only complaint. I really enjoyed this place.

    I got the pork and catfish platter. It came with Cole slaw, pork, fried fish, and a side of mac n cheese. This was absolutely amazing. Some of the best Mac n cheese I have ever tasted. The fish was fried perfectly and remained flaky. The pork was also really flavorful and was great with the the Carolina vinegar bbq and sweet bbq. Cole slaw was also really good. This meal was about $17. Overall one of the best bbq places I've been to. Definitely check this place out. Food: 9.0 Staff/service: 8 Overall: 8.8/10

    1/2 rack of ribs coleslaw and Mac and cheese
    Dale C.

    Everything seemed off to us. First we felt a little forgotten when we first got there. Only got one refill which for me is no bueno. I ordered the half rack of ribs. I'm wondering why people don't season their food in Virginia. The ribs were plain tasting as could be. Not even smoky or charred like good bbq should be. It was trendy but plain which means you have to use the Sauces. The Mac and cheese is supposed to be exceptional that was not the case. The noodles were overcooked and mushy. The flavor was ok but again no seasoning. It was disappointing for the cost.

    Broiled catfish tacos
    Eugene R.

    Great find just off the interstate! Quick service and tasty food with plenty of choices from catfish tacos to every kind of bbq meat. My daughter recommends the andouille sausage Mac and cheese skillet and I say go for the broiled catfish tacos. Hush puppy basket was good but small pups. Service was great (Thanks Shannon!). Decent prices for amount of food you get.

The main area is mostly open seating around a few games -- it was an autumn night, and inside, there's actually not much game stuff. A karaoke stage, a pool table, a few video games. You get your food here. Like I said, I expected instant food and for it to taste like it came out if the microwave. It took about fifteen minutes, maybe a bit more, and I was feeling annoyed. Then it came out. This is not food that is prepared instantly. And it's really GOOD. I ordered Buffalo wings, and ... I'm a bit of a wing snob. I'm not exaggerating when I say these were among the best wings I've ever had. Crispy, perfectly cooked, moist inside, and just the right spice with good flavour? Yum! The nachos, fully loaded, were good, though perhaps not as distributed as could be. But, also a good variety of tops, and everything tasty. The cheese curds were also good, though I thought the marinara was a bit of a downer. Guys, Russian dressing, spicy mayo, tiger sauce... marinara is for mozz sticks. Whatever. They're still good. While it was cool out, I spent some time checking out the outdoors area. There's some fire pits, more karaoke, and the bulk of the games. It would be a lot more fun on a nice night, but it was chilly and I bailed early.

Well thank goodness I finally decided to nip in to 3rd Generations Grill last evening for a hot meal and a cold beer after a long day. I was quite happy with the experience. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but the dining room is large, open, and features a nice bar at the back with a decent selection of draft beer (sadly no dark options for the porter- and brown ale-loving crowd) and sundry spirits. The walls are plastered with rock & roll posters (they get extra credit for the Ziggy Stardust poster on the left side of the room as you enter) and the space is clean and well lit without being antiseptic and blazing. I think with a larger crowd (it was a bit sparse on my visit) the room could be a bit loud, so if quiet is your thing maybe plan for a low traffic time. After negotiating a workaround for the QR code-based online menu (I deduct a full star if that's my only option for ordering because I think it's poor service), I ordered the Generator burger from my very friendly, helpful, and service-forward bartender. What's great is I told him what I was looking for and he competently guided me to one of the best burgers I've had in a while. Double smashed patty, double bacon, cheese, onion. I added lettuce and tomato because I want to dupe myself into believing I had a vegetable that evening. Comes with side of their hand-cut fries and is a hearty portion of well prepared food. When I say this is a two-handed-eat-over-the-plate-like-a-caveman burger, that's exactly what it is. Thing is a monster of beautiful beef and bacon and cheese (sorry vegans, try again). Oh, and the food came out in good time--not fast food, but good food fast. I have a minor quibble with the fries which, while hand cut and nicely seasoned, were a bit under and kinda soggy. Not inedible, but could be better. I think if they blanched the fries before the final cook they'd achieve a crispier outside with that nice cushy potato centre you want in a French fry. But that's the only quibble. Service: six stars Food: four stars Ambiance: four stars Value: five stars I'll be going back again, for sure.
