My first impression of this place was how beautiful it looked inside. From the outside it gave warehouse vibes but once you step in it's spacious and has more of a sports bar feel. I ordered the sampler so I could try a little bit of everything and overall it wasn't bad. My only complaint coming from Texas is that the brisket was a bit dry. Other than that if you're looking for a different kind of BBQ spot with a unique atmosphere The Fishin' Pig is definitely worth checking out. 4/5 for the BBQ can't complain the family had a good time and our waitress was awesome. read more

I had a great experience working with Joe at The Flying Pig in Midlothian, Virginia. I had to create a large order for a special event I was hosting and pretty much had to communicate with the restaurant on the fly. Joe had total understanding of the situation. with confidence and a cool head, Joe quickly helped me organize my large order and got my order ready in a timely manner. I appreciate The Flying Pig for all of their hard work. Thank you again. read more

Booked this truck for our event on a Sat. They didn't show up or let us know they wouldn't be coming. Very unprofessional. Had a lot of hungry disappointed people. read more

There was a time when the Smartmouth Pilot House had rotating food trucks instead of one permanent one and I'd walk over to play food truck roulette frequently. The Flying Pig was one of those spots that kept popping up. I was a big fan of the loaded ribbon fries. They were covered in toppings and so delicious. I'd eat it like a meal and always have leftovers that were still good even when they were a little soggy a few hours later. My friend tried their BBQ sandwich once and was disappointed so I didn't stray from the ribbon fries since they were a guaranteed hit for me every time. read more

Delicious chip-nachos abound at The Flying Pig Food Truck! They'll make your tongue slap the roof of your mouth so hard it'll blow your brains out. I wish I had four hands so I could give it four thumbs up read more

The Fishin Pig - Ribbon Fry Nachos - Barbeque Near Me

Food and service was great! A regular on Thursdays when Joey and Sue bartend. They are two of the best. They are quick with your drinks along with friendly banter. Which makes it a fun place to go. Highly recommend! read more

OMGOSH! This was the best pulled pork barbecue sandwich I have ever had in my entire life! I cannot even begin words cannot even describe how good this Sandwich was. I thought it had the perfect amount of chard smokehouse flavored the sauce and the coleslaw together were so delicious, the Texas Pete was almost unnecessary (i didn't want him to feel left out. LOL). It's a little irritating to see their score of three which is a complete misrepresentation of the food I ate tonight. As I read through the previous reviews most people were complaining because of the wait times. There is a wait because it's so damn good! Be fair rate them on their food. I will use them to cater my next backyard party. read more

I really hate to give them a two star review but the food was really not good. The customer service was top notch! The lady who took my order was really nice. My tacos were soggy, wet and flavorless. Then the nachos looked good but they were soggy as well. It was lacking flavor and the meat seemed like canned meat. No one in my family enjoyed their food. So we ended up throwing almost $60 of food away. I didn't get picks because my phone was in my car! read more

The Flying Pig's response after I complained that they "forgot" my orders of Tacos and Loaded Fries. All they needed to do was tell me that they "messed up this evening and will do better in the future to earn my business". I do not need to know the inner workings of their dysfunctional business model. Hi John, While we appreciate your feedback, it wasn't as simple as your order being "forgotten". The ticket was lost in the process of my cashier giving it to the line cooks on duty. When we went to give you your refund, we discovered that you in fact had ordered either the Tacos OR the loaded fries, which also accounts for your refund being $14.40 ($12 order + a tip). We apologize for the miscommunication and your wasted time/energy. We were extremely busy tonight and it could've happened at any point in time. read more

The food was okay. My husband enjoyed it. He is rather easy to please. The service was ok. It was just well, okay!

I always get so excited to see the Flying Pig at events! I'm obsessed with the ribbon fry nachos and the bbq tacos. Their food is great and they always exceed my expectations. I know the food industry in general is stressed right now, and they've managed to get great food out in a reasonable amount of time. Highly recommend! read more

Wanted to put some food in the bellies of three guys plus me, while they were at the Commonwealth Brewery. I didn't even know what I was doing when I orders the large tray of chicken nachos. HOLEEEE COW! The most amazing! On ribbon fries .... not nacho chips. Pineapple and coleslaw and just amazing. The guys who "weren't hungry" ate every morsel and scraped the tray clean. We will be watching where the Flying Pig lands so we can order again. Thanks! read more

Simply put, AWESOME! David and Grace run a clean, professional, reasonably priced and best of all DELICIOUS operation! Their portions are HUGE, food is fresh, and cooked as good as you get at an expensive dine in BBQ restaurant. They were able to satisfy hundreds of rowdy bikers, so I can almost guarantee they can meet your expectations! read more

I had the great fortune of visiting Malbon's BBQ truck "The Flying Pig" today at the food truck rodeo at Whole Foods at Hilltop in Virginia Beach. I got the BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich and shared it with my wife. It was loaded with great flavorful and lean brisket. The slaw was great and the chips - fresh cut and fried taters were great. It was most awesome and I'll be looking for this truck again soon!! Don't postpone joy - visit The Flying Pig!! I'm adding photos from todays visit. read more

The food truck was at Farmhouse Brewery tonight with 4 other food trucks. I was craving BBQ so decided to order from The Flying Pig. What a disappointment. Had to wait for over 30 minutes for a small portion of BBQ with lots of chunks of fat, highly smoked taste and soggy hush puppies and about tablespoon of coleslaw. That wasn't the worst part!!! They were OUT OF BBQ SAUCE!! And we're not making anymore. Who wanted plain BBQ without BBQ sauce. Please note we ordered at 7:50pm. Got the food around 8:35 pm. Food truck was scheduled like others from 5 to 9. Had we. Wen informed of the lengthy wait we and fact they they had no BBQ SAICE or intentions to make any I could have chosen somewhere else to eat. read more

Had a wonderful dinner at Rollin on the River tonight! The pulled pork platter with homemade fries and super delicious hush puppies!!! Mmmm. Recommend them!!! read more

The Fishin Pig - Banggggg beef brisket tacos!!! Don't sleep on this... flavor explosion the spice is delicious - Barbeque Near Me

One of the best pork BBQ sandwiches I have ever tasted. So much flavor, the bun tasted super fresh, my side was potato salad and it was so good I couldn't stop eating until there was nothing less of course. We would have gotten more food to eat but we had a big lunch so the portion size for the Sandwich was perfect for my boyfriend and I. Will be going to visit again soon! read more

The Flying Pig came out for our staff appreciation event and everything was fantastic!

I absolutely love food trucks... they typically have a limited menu of AMAZING food. I will seek out a food truck before a restaurant sometimes. I wish I hadn't. The coleslaw is just cut cabbage. Nothing on it at all. The pulled pork was akin to dried baby food... with about as much flavor. The hush puppies were dry and flavorless. To say I was disappointed is and understatement. I did get the nachos, which were good and the BBQ sauce (that they ration like it's gas in the 40s) was also good. But, anything good was off set by the RIDICULOUS prices. I mean, seriously outlandish. I paid $30 for approximately 1/4 cup of baby food pork, a small ramekin of chopped cabbage, 4 flavorless Sahara desert hushpuppies, and a snack bad worth of chips and nacho toppings. The 5 for $5 meal at Wendy's has more food. Don't bother going to this place. It's not worth your time, energy, or most importantly... money. read more

I waited a ridiculously long wait, around 1-hour plus. The food was pricey for the portions. I kept waiting maybe thinking it was going to be great since there was a God size line before I ordered. I was wrong. Slaw wasn't horrible but the pork... No buddy or buddett, not good. The menu should not be fried everything if you can't push it fast for customers, plus the food inevitably tastes like just used oil when you are pumping it out. Female cashier lovely person, but this food truck is not the one! read more

Parked out front of the Big Ugly Brewery, holy hell the taco's from this truck are hands down the best things I've eaten! Super friendly staff on the truck and get your food fast! Can't go wrong highly recommend! read more

The pairing of fresh pineapple with pulled pork on the tacos is my favorite! Would definitely recommend the nachos if trying to feed a crowd

The Flying Pig came to my community today and they have the best pulled pork bbq that I think I have ever tasted. I'm normally a sauce lover but theirs was so Smokey and flavorful that honestly no additional sauce is really needed. Highly recommend giving them a try. Affordable pricing especially for the portion size you get! read more

David and his team provided lunch for our team on our first day back the office. The food was AMAZING and the service superb. The menu offered a variety of dishes from tacos, sandwiches, to nachos. The pulled pork was my favorite and was delish on everything. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy and the sauces added the perfect kick of flavor. Can't wait to have them back! read more

Excellent pork sandwich and the delicious Hush Puppies were perfect. I ordered ahead by text and it could not have been easier.

I waited a over a god damn hour for Nachos. Are you kidding me. One man show more worried about taking orders than serving customers who paid. I am over an hour into the hostage crisis and no end in sight. read more

Waiting 45 minutes for 6 people to go in front of me only to have them run out of pork. You're a BBQ truck, you can't run out of your main ingredient at 6:30. Possible worst food truck experience I've had. But if you want tator tots and cheese this may be your place. read more

This place is a utter disgrace!!! An incident happened today when they visited my living complex and I was polite when contacting the manager. The response he left on my phone and when I called back was completely unacceptable !! I have never dealt with a rude establishment like this in my life. I will not be returning nor supporting this company. I am a huge foodie and love supporting locally owned businesses but no people skills exude the flying pig whatsoever . Lastly to add ;the portion of food they give you is not worth the amount of money they charge you . Complete waste of time read more

Malbon's food truck is at my work some Friday's. I've tried the pulled pork sandwich which comes on a potato roll. Tasty but North Carolina vinegar BBQ is not my preference. The second time I had the pork, the vinegar was too strong for me. I get their ribbon fries with cheese and bacon now. It is pure perfection. The cheese is like a white cheese sauce and then they add queso. Delicious. read more

This BBQ ain't no joke. Best in VB. Worth the long drive to get it.

I ordered from here a few times during concerts at the Beach and as much as I enjoyed the bbq chicken over chips (not nachos but potato) they did get a bit soggy and messy. I ended up throwing most of them out after I finished the chicken. I also got the Chicken lettuce wraps which worked out better and healthier. I have yet to try the tacos but would like to. read more

Stumbled upon this place and I will be sure to return. Delicious sauce with the right amount of spices. I will take visiting family and friends here. The food network needs to do a show here. read more

An hour and 10 minutes for 2 tacos!!!!!. Didn't tell me there was a wait until after I paid but was told 30 minutes. Food not worth the wait. Pick another food truck if you have the option read more

Found this food truck at Back Bay Farmhouse Brewery tonight. They were out of BBQ sauce but I wasn't told that when I ordered. Waited 30 minutes for my nachos. While waiting, I heard they were out of BBQ sauce but were making more. When I got my good, I asked for BBQ sauce but was told they were making more. When I asked how long it would take, I was told that "it's a whole big ordeal" and they were almost out of food so they weren't making more. I said "ok, here's my food, I'd like a refund." The man running the truck refused but did produce a small bottle of mediocre sauce. For the price, my nachos had very little meat and the sauce was overwhelmingly flavored with vinegar plus I had to wait an excessively long time for my food. Will not patronize again. read more

The food is pretty good, but our wait was horrendous. We ordered, and while a couple people were waiting, the person taking orders never indicated they were on over an hour wait. Once 40 minutes went by, we asked and were told there were six people ahead of us, but that they would move us to the front because we have a toddler. At the same time, others with young kids were still waiting over an hour. The folks there should have treated customers with better service. They used having only two people and making food to order as an excuse, but most other food trucks operate similarly and manage to serve people in closer to 15 minutes tops. Hopefully they can improve going forward. read more

I don't usually write reviews that aren't positive i prefer to rave about deliciousness. I had high hopes for my Malbon's visit at First Friday staff was great, i took the reccomendation and got briskit taco and some other taco . Cole slaw, ribbon fries and a deep hunger waiting to be satisfied. Tortillas were old and fell apart immediately. Tacos aren't tacos without a good tortilla . And two old tortillas per taco was just.. Well, very un-taco savvy. There was nothing spectacular about either meat in the tacos and even the cole slaw was kinda flavorless. Maybe I caught them on a bad day? I truly did enjoy the energy of the staff, they were top notch but I could not say the same about the food. The staff gets the stars from me on this one for the smart upsell and menu knowledge and good attitude. read more

Got two bbq plates one with hush puppies one with cole slaw. Nothing fancy about the cole slaw. But it's still good. Bbq is amazing. Nice sweet and spicy and juicy. We also got ribbon fries which are amazing as well. The hush puppies may be some of the best hush puppies I've ever had. read more

We have had the pulled pork at the Great Bridge Food Truck Wednesdays this summer. Soo good!! My husband loved the brisket and my kids loved the ribbon fries!! We saw them again at the Whole Foods at Hill Top and out of all the trucks, we keep coming back to The Flying Pig!! read more

Outstanding food! Fantastic pulled pork.. Outrageous ribs.. Meat falls off the bone. Heard about it from a friend that lives here and wasn't disappointed. Thanks Patti for the recommendation! Got me some sauce to go too. Thanks for the great food Malbons! read more
