We came for Sunday lunch, from the instant you step into Flying Pig, the aroma of the kitchen whets your appetite. The host and servers greet you with bright smiles and genuine hospitality. The menu reads like a carnivore's fantasy: Brisket Burn End - offered as tacos or tossed with mac&cheese, it's cooked to a melt‑in‑your‑mouth perfection. Pulled Pork - juicy and richly flavored; be sure to sample the house‑made North Carolina‑style BBQ sauce. Baby Back Ribs - my top pick. These fall‑off‑the‑bone ribs can be served with the sauce on the side or brushed with a tangy‑spicy glaze, finished with a light char for that satisfying crunch. Flying Shrimp & Signature Coleslaw - the crisp, golden shrimp pairs beautifully with the refreshing slaw. Flying Pig guarantees a memorable, finger‑licking experience that will have you planning your next visit before the last rib disappears. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, expertly smoked meats in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. read more

I haven't been here in a while... I forgot how good this place is. Our group of 9 came here for dinner Sunday night and had the best time. The food was so good and came out fast and the service was excellent. A lot of young people work here and they do such an awesome job. We will definitely be adding this to our weekend dinner rotation. My only complaint was the orange crush I got didn't taste like it had any hooch in it. read more

Clean restaurant with a pretty decently sized BBQ menu. Ordered a hickory smoked pulled pork plate and paid an upcharge to upgrade the protein to Brisket burnt ends. I was a bit disappointed with the size of the brisket burnt ends, it was more reminiscent of shredded brisket and I found it to be too sweet. The sauce that it was cooked in was abundant and there was a little puddle of reddish oil at the bottom of my ramekin that held the meat. If you've ever had the boneless ribs from a Chinese restaurant that's what it tasted like. The pineapple coleslaw was good, however and a fresh tasting side. The fries were crispy and well seasoned, as well. I also enjoyed the house salad that came with the plate. Our server was really kind and attentive, the restaurant itself was very clean and I found the booth seating to be very comfortable. I really enjoyed how much natural lighting was present throughout the restaurant via the large windows. I would return but don't think the specialty meats (burnt ends) was worth it and would probably stick to other BBQ staples like pulled pork or ribs. read more

Best wings I've had since moving to Virginia. I especially love the Hickory Smoked Grilled Wings with Pineapple Teriyaki sauce. The Waiver Fire sauce is good too. Definitely not waiver worthy. I didn't start sweating or feel the immediate need for milk or beer. It was actually pretty tasty. I do feel like their prices are on the higher end, but I usually just got for wings and beer so that is all I can speak to. You should check it out if you're a fan of wings. read more

Came in late at night on a Federal holiday and found really great energy at the place! The Monday special is a half rack of ribs and a side, at half price, $13.95: What a great deal! There are booths, tables, high tops, and seats at a bar so long, there are three TVs showing sports. Parking in a strip mall lot, street entrance is handicap accessible, and the attire is casual. The BBQ was melting off the bone, perfect. Strongly recommend! read more

After trying The Flying Pig we rarely go to any other BBQ spots, period. They have it all. The bar and beer selection are pretty decent, the staff and nice, attentive and professional. The menu has plenty to offer. I love the apps and their cobb salad but their pulled pork and brisket are delicious. The absolute best though are the wings and ribs. The Flying Pig really is the best around as far as those are concerned. Literally the best every time and the next competition is a far second. This place has become a family favorite. Great job every time. read more

I brought my mom for her 80th birthday celebration, her choice. I ordered a blt burger and fries. I was expecting to see 2-3 pieces of bacon but what I received was one piece of bacon broken in half. If the beef wasn't there, would you still call it a blt? Serenity was a great waitress and also brought me a better slice of tomato instead of the butt of the tomato, that slice goes in the trash or cut up in a salad. I did enjoy the fried pickles, but my burger was just mediocre and the fries have no seasoning. read more

Roach infested.....Manager told me they had sprayed recently so they were aware. Like that made it better?? The server at the bar, saw the roach walking ON THE BAR, squashed it with a napkin, and NEVER wiped up the area???? She got the roach but maybe clean the surface area with some disinfectant or cleaning solution??? This happened tonight about 9pm. Jan 17th read more

We have always ordered BBQ by the quart for carry out. We find that to be fairly convenient, since they are located in a shopping center. Parking is shared with other shops and can be tight. The service was slow and be sure you get some sauce. Pick up buns at Foodlion around the corner, and you have a great family dinner on a budget. read more

I must have came at a bad time or something. Got an order ready text very fast headed over to pick up spoke to front person and waited 15 minutes with nobody to be seen. Went back to car to make sure I actually got text went back in and eventually they came out. They then double checked all the food which after over 20 minutes is strange. Got home and pretzel which sounded great on menu was a 100% plain pretzel no salt, no garlic oil not Parmesan like menu stated very weird - seemed like microwave style you get at Costco Mac and cheese - was just maccaroni cheese and some chopped meat - not burnt ends or onions like menu says - meat looked not very appetizing Philly egg rolls - were fine not super flavorful but as described Hush puppies were great Probably won't get this to go ever again as it was a mess would try it again in restaurant. read more

Hum, just heard you held a group of six seniors hostage for 1.5 hours on 11/6/2025 because of an error in your bill system that took that long to figure out. They couldn't pay cash, they weren't allow to leave, no apology, not even a drink refill while you made them made them wait. read more

We really enjoy the Flying Pig...the food any way. The food is always tasty and the service is generally pretty good. However, their cocktails are really awful. If you're going to have a drink, make it a beer or wine, not something they have to mix. The cocktails are really unbalanced and taste terrible. After multiple trys, we've agreed to keep our orders to just the food and save our money on drinks for elsewhere. read more

Very nice, clean restaurant that can, with a prior arrangement, accommodate large groups. It has a full bar, and the service is friendly and efficient. The menu offers many fine choices, but BBQ pork is their specialty. The ribs are meaty, delicious, and fall off the bone. Handicap friendly. There is a lot of parking, but it tends to fill up due to there being several popular businesses. Reservations are recommended. They have a separate station to the right of the entryway for pickup orders (very popular). read more

Smoked barbecue is delicious. Steak and cheese egg rolls are incredible. Everything we've tried on the menu is great. They switch desserts seasonally and keep bring in amazing items. The staff is friendly and management is a gem. Fun atmosphere for family or dinner out with friends. read more

Just returned to the Flying Pig because I thought it was so good the first time only to find that I should've stuck to what I ordered the first time . Although the pineapple coleslaw has changed and I couldn't taste any pineapple! This time I ordered the Honey Sriracha shrimp tacos. Not only did I not taste honey, there wasn't even a hint of Sriracha. I think they should just call them shrimp tacos! The jalapeño in the pico was minimal as well. On a positive note, the Cheesesteak egg rolls were delicious read more

There are fruit fly's everywhere and while sitting at the bar saw a bug crawling. They need to clean. Won't be visiting again anytime soon!

I am picky about BBQ (thank you Captain Obvious) but have to say we have hit on another really good quality BBQ restaurant. The Flyin' Pig was everything I needed it to be -- GREAT service, a wide variety of smoked meats, a good beer assortment, ample portions cooked well, and decent prices. First, the location.... in a suburban strip mall with a grocery store, doctors' offices, and several other restaurants (including 21 Spoons, which I have also reviewed -- great fine dining!) but the parking lot was a challenge. Getting inside, we were seated immediately. There are about 10 TV sets going with sports, not intrusive, and nice music playing from the past couple of decades. Despite what we learned was a short staff (one staffer went home unexpectedly just before we got there) we never felt rushed or neglected. Friendly genuine interactions with our server as well as another server who backed ours up bringing food from the kitchen. Food -- we ordered hush puppies that came with choice of honey butter or red pepper jelly. We got both sauces without any hesitation. The hushpups were well cooked, nice crust on the outside and soft in the middle. The pepper jelly was excellent (if a bit spicy for my wife) and the honey butter melted easily into the cornbread. Good start. I ordered a side salad to go with my main, which came out early (which is great.) A well thought out mix of greens, with generous amounts of veggies and cheese and croutons and corn (nice touch) and a honey lime vinaigrette I want to try to clone. Before I could woof down more than half the salad, our mains arrived. Wife got a brisket burnt ends sandwich and onion straws. The burnt ends were sweet-finished, like they had been rolled in honey as part of the prep and then left in a skillet. Nice flavor, would be too sweet IMHO if eaten alone but great on a sandwich. What I cannot understand is how a barbecue joint can serve brisket burnt ends but not serve brisket. My suspicion is that they buy the burnt ends and smoke them on premises, but I have nothing more than my logic to support this idea. Still, with pork and chicken and burnt ends on the menu, this was a noticed hole in the offerings. The onion straws were A MAZ ING -- crumb coat and perfectly cooked, could have been brought to the table a tad warmer. My wife declared them to be the best onion rings/straws in Richmond. Long live the king! I ordered the Bruce, which is a pulled pork BBQ sandwich and five wings with choice of sauce (nine sauces, four dips to select from) and choice of smoked wings or grilled smoked wings. I chose grilled smoked wings in spicy garlic. The wings were meaty with maybe a touch too much smoke (any further and I would have said bitter, but these were still in the tasty range), the garlic reasonable but not overpowering, and the heat level that was purportedly in the mid range was nicely spicy. The star of this portion of the meal was the blue cheese sauce for dipping.... it had chunks of green-veined blue in it that were big enough to pull out with a fork and spread on the wings for a really great tang. Little things like that make a nice meal even more memorable. But back to the pork sandwich. The sandwich, served I believe on a potato roll which made me doubt whether it was going to be able to hold up, was both sturdy and generous with the meat. Nice pork, good smoke flavor, smoke ring apparent on select pieces. Add to this a choice of two table sauces (sweet or spicy, and you know I went spicy) and this was a very good restaurant sandwich. With two teas and tax, the bill for all this was $58. Not at all bad, I think. Put this one on your Que rotation, near the top of the list. read more

Always delicious! We have taken a lot of family and friends when they visit Richmond. The meal is always the best of the visit. The staff is always friendly and they usually do not have a long wait. They newly renovated and it looks more modern. I love the mac and cheese with brisket. It is a mix of flavors that you can't get anywhere else! read more

Best shrimp tacos and best burnt end tacos. So delicious. Was nervous because it's in a strip mall, but cute little place.

Things are easily back to normal. They're still a little slow sometimes but the food is always great, as are the employees.

Been coming here for quite some time and never been disappointed until today. Came in with my wife/daughter for lunch, beer list on the wall out of date, bar tender didnt know what they had. And then the food.....order a chicken burger with a fried egg on for me and a burger kids meal for my daughter. A bit annoying when the kids meal turns up bigger than the adult main. And the resolution.....well i dont know. Come on man. Server was great, food was not, i gave two stars as im not a D**K but dont think ill be coming back read more

We use to come to this restaurant frequently because it is halfway between us and our friends we meet there. Never again. To many times the food and service are not up to par. Last time my ribs were nothing but fat and management did not seem to care. Plenty of other BBQ places in Midlothian. read more

Do NOT take your children here!!! The management and staff pay NO ATTENTION to polite requests to say something to the loud swearing coming from the drunks at the bar. I'll NEVER give them another penny. The food is good, but the atmosphere is horribly unprofessional and the owner obviously values potty-mouthed alcoholics over your family. read more

It was our first visit and we were so impressed! It was taco Tuesday and the special was a half price taco. We ordered the special. It came with one side. I got french fries and my husband got the four cheese mac and cheese. Best mac and cheese we've ever tasted. My fries were incredible. Crunchy on the outside and tender inside. We were blown away by the tacos! Yes, tacos. There were two of them and they were out of this world. We are looking forward to our next visit. Absolutely recommend this restaurant! read more

Flying pig is one of my favorite places. The menu has so many great things to choose from and I've enjoyed everything I've had. Some of my favorites are the burnt ends Mac n cheese, the chicken tenders, the smokehouse burger, and the inferno barbecue wings. For dessert you've got to the try the key lime pie and the apple butter cake. read more

Omg the smoked wings are amazing. Steak and cheese egg rolls are to die for. Daily specials. This was my first time definitely wont be my last. TVs for sports very nice atmosphere. Manager was very nice. I recommend any day of the week. read more

Love this place. Friendly staff, wonderful food, lots of TVs to watch sports. This is some of my favorite bbq in town, with the pork sandwich being absolutely delicious, and same with the brisket. They don't always have the brisket, so it's not listed on the menu so make sure to ask someone once you're seated. The brisket tacos are especially delicious if you can manage to order them. Queso and nachos are also wonderful, and the portion size on everything is HUGE so you'll definitely have leftovers. They have everything from classic bbq to things like "bbq stuffed potato", so there's definitely something for everyone. They also have rotating daily specials, desserts, and a pretty large kids menu. read more

So not the same service or quality of food as on the past. Seems like things have changed a lot since their renovations a while back. Not sure we will be back. Talked to the manager who got defensive about my concerns. Joe things get better read more

I was in the area after a work visit & stopped by here w/some colleagues. Overall, it was pretty good. I got the pulled pork sandwich with a side of macaroni. Both of them had good flavor, but I would say Q BBQ is a better value. Service was fine, but nothing to write home about. read more

I visited this place before COVID, and this was my first time back since then. Nothing has changed. The food was exceptional. The service was perfect. Our server was very attentive, and the ambiance was great! A group of us visited the Flying Pig. During this visit, we ordered a Cobb Salad, Pork Ribs, and other delicious food items. The Cobb Salad was only a half salad, the most enormous I had ever had. It was fresh and very inviting. The ribs were incredibly tender, and the meat fell off the bone. The sauce only amplified the rub that was used on the ribs. The sides that we ordered were the fries and slaw. All were great! Overall, the Flying Pig is the best BBQ restaurant in the State of Virginia! read more

Since my last review, I have visited a couple of times. And during each visit, the food and service have gotten worse. I'm being very generous with this 4 star review. I'm chalking up not giving a 3 star review only because I truly believe management and the cook staff does its best to take care of customers. Tonight, we probably had the worst service we have experienced while dining out in over 5 years (and we eat out 2 days a week). We waited 10 minutes before a server approached our table, we received one of our apps but with no appetizer plates. We had silverware and no napkins and had to ask for those. The served stated "I will get you EXTRA napkins." The second app eventually came out and the server cautioned us that it was hot (which it was not...not even warm). My wife had asked for a Diet Coke 3 times before she eventually got it. The food came, and the server provided us with 2 bottles of sauce (which is normally 1 spicy and 1 mild). Nope...both were the same. The restaurant looks great, but I come to eat based on the quality of the food and excellent service. I won't be coming back for some time. read more

Great food and service. Had pork bbq tacos with pineapple cole slaw. Would definitely do again!

We usually love this place, but I was so disappointed tonight. Ordered the brisket tacos and asked for no sauce. These used to be my favorite menu item but I will not be ordering them again. They were swimming in sauce and the tiny amount of meat tasted more like ham than brisket. I'm guessing they used so much sauce to cover up the lack of flavor. Shouldn't call whatever that meat was brisket. Didn't want to send it back because I was with a large group. Our server, Grace, was delightful and did a great job with our large party. read more
