    Pork rolls 10/10

    We really enjoyed Improper Pig! They serve BBQ with an Asian twist. We made a meal of the chow bao buns, mac & cheese, and pork rolls. By the time the nachos arrived, we were full! The pork rolls were absolutely delicious and the sauces that come with them really took the flavor up a notch. Bao buns aren't really my thing but they were really good too with the spicy hoisin sauce! The pulled pork was juicy and flavorful. The brisket was tender and but had a really smoky flavor that was a little too much for me. Next time we go, we will definitely order the pork rolls again, but I want to try more things on their menu.

    The improper charcuterie
    Hannah G.

    Delicious! My family and I got a little bit of everything on the menu and we're not disappointed. The different sauces they have available were awesome! Pictured above is the Improper Charcuterie. They do not take reservations, but for a table of 6 we got right in at 5 pm!

    This was fine as long as you like blackpepper and vinegar. I loved the warm pimento cheese. All the meat was very dark. The sides were all decent.

    Reason why staff made a 6 year old cry.

    I am a Fort Mill local and often take my kids to this restaurant for quality family time. Over the years, we've never had any issues; the service and food have always been great. However, today was different. The server and manager were rude, making my 6-year-old cry over playing with a small plastic pumpkin decoration. They claimed they had warned us, but we never heard it. They told my children not to touch the decorations and disciplined them in front of me, saying, "since your father is not telling you... (I will)," which I found completely inappropriate. I questioned why this was a big deal in a family-friendly restaurant since my child wasn't causing any disturbance. The manager, DARIAN GREENE, made rude comments after I complained about our treatment. When I expressed my concerns, she offered to cover the bill to "help the sour taste in your mouth." - very rude! As we were leaving, they started filming and taking pictures of us as if we were criminals. Another person claiming to be the manager (the cook) walked out of the kitchen defending the staff's behavior and questioned my parenting skills over a simple Halloween ornament. I wanted a logical explanation for this treatment. It was a bizarre experience, and I can't understand how any business can afford to treat customers like this. I hope the owner addresses this issue and that the staff apologizes to my child. Despite this incident, I have no complaints about the food or atmosphere. If I were the owner, I'd want to know about employees ruining my business.

    Brisket with slaw and Sweet Potato Casserole
    Christie N.

    Very impressed with food, service and atmosphere. Brisket was amazing. Mac and cheese very flavorful. Slaw was average .

    Improper plate

    Ran downtown for a quick lunch and the service was fast and friendly! You can't beat fresh food this quick!

    The roasted chicken was some of the best I have had. BBQ was smoky and excellent! Get their Eastern NC sauce

    Great place! Best lunch we have had in a while and we eat out a ton. Most definitely be back.

    Sliced Brisket Sandwich
    LaPorcia W.

    We came here for dinner one week night and was happy to find decent bbq. The interior of the restaurant is well lit in the main dining room, but we opted to sit at the bar which can seat up 8 people near the kitchen. The service was good as the bartender did a good job consistently checking on us. We started with the fried pork skins (chicharrones) which were surprisingly very delicious. They came out fresh and as we ordered with the bbq rub on the side. I never had blue cheese with my chicharrones but I have to say it is a great addition to the dish. For my main course I had the brisket sandwich which was OK my only complaint is I wish the meat was a little more tender and moist. Overall good food and ambiance, I plan to visit in the future and try out some of their happy hour specials.

    I visited The Improper Pig on a Sunday at opening time. I was excited to experience it as I love bbq and they had great reviews and a visit from one of the food network shows. I loved the architecture and overall look of the older building which has been well maintained. The inside was clean and aesthetically pleasing. Our service was great and all the employees were friendly! Everything was great but the bbq was just a total miss for me. I enjoyed the Jalapeno grits and sausage link. However, the brisket, pulled pork and ribs were all very dry and had minimal flavor.

    Great food, great atmosphere!! The manger Cameron is very attentive, caring, and friendly. He suggested the pork rolls and they were AMAZING!! The sauces to dip them in were phenomenal and paired very well. The improper ceased is such a tasteful salad. I recommend the green beans and collards. You will love them! I can't say enough good things about the cleanliness of this location, the flavorful food, and the amazing service. They also have amazing merchandise which I bought!

    Improper Charcuterie   DDD!!! Also, home made chips are delicious
    Dugg F.

    Hands down my top favorite home cook, dry rubbing, mouthgasm, finger licking BBQ joint. If you visiting South Carolina, this is a must go to places. First, the restaurant is located in Fort Mill, and is surrounded by brick structures with character. The min you parked or roll down the window you can smell the smoke of deliciousness. The service is amazing, very helpful with recommendations. There pineapple lemonade cocktail is a must try! This place is perfect for family dinning or date night. Put your phones away and enjoy good food, good drinks, and good people! Southern hospitality

    This is the size of the sides to feed 6-8

The ladies suggested I try the Strawberry or Honey Peach sauce. The WHAT???? In all of my years i have never! I rolled my eyes and went to play on my phone. Then I was called. The Sammich was piled high with 4 slices of brisket. Not chopped, no picked apart, no skimpy but thick, hang over the edge moist, seasoned brisket. I took a nibble a said "ohhhh". I like it. That made me grab some sauce. I mean absolutely tiny bit on the side just to see. I tasted the Strawberry and was elated. Its freakn delicious. The strawberry plays so well with the heat and a hint of sweet. The peach was freakn fire. I had to come back and grab 2 Oz of each. I thought it couldn't get any better till I bit into the Mac. It was creamy, seasoned, and cheese; not over cooked either. Baby I knew I was driving to Fort Mill to get me a plate. I'll be down y'all

I've been four times. The best burger I've tried yet is the Butcher's Burger. If you're looking for a burger with a smoky flavor, uplifted by the richness of the pork belly and seared onions... I haven't found better yet in the city. CB&BG is home to the best side dish in the city so far. Fried Okra. A dish I am beyond familiar, but rather familial with being from Oklahoma. I've had it countless times. I have not only never seen it prepared like this, but I have never had better. Forget the traditional fried okra chips or medallions you're used to. They tempura fry the whole dang thing. Get yourself some ranch and enjoy. The indoor atmospere is clean, sleek, and fun whenever they have live sports on TV or live bands in house. They also have the biergarten area outside in the back with a nice view.

It was a little dark though it was more quiet than the sunlit front. I ordered the Old Town Cobb and my husband ordered the Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf and a Caesar salad. The focaccia croutons in the salad were out of this world delicious and different. Their flavor of the croutons burst in our mouth. The meatloaf's presentation was superb. Hubby said he would order meatloaf again. I had a bite and it was crispy and smoky tasting. My husband ordered 2 beers and the bill was under $50 which we thought was a good value. Pros: water served in glass tumblers. Menu is very creative. Food is really delicious. Location. Plenty of other spots to grab a coffee, tea or hot chocolate while walking around Main Street after eating. Cons: tomatoes under ripe in Cobb salad. Caesar salad dressing was more sweet than anticipated. Depending when you come, parking will be challenging if a person is unable to walk. Parking is generally plentiful around downtown Rock Hill within a short walk. Verdict: Both dishes were good. Would come back and would order them again.

On the menu for today I chose the Blue plate Special ($23) OG, bacon wrapped meatloaf, swirl potatoes, veggie du jour, stewed, collards, steakhouse, vinaigrette, cilantro Crema. The dish was Tender medallions of meatloaf, wrapped in savory bacon. Topped with a steakhouse vinaigrette, tangy, and savory, which had an amazing flavor by itself, I just wish it added more to the main. Which was slightly bland. Unfortunately, this cilantro Crema had no hints of cilantro. The actual star of the show is the collard greens. The Collard greens has a subtle kick, which is amazing and flavorful, and gives that little extra punch. Hand slammed fries ($5) Parmesan - rosemary dusted, roasted tomato malt vinaigrette. Tasty especially with their house made ketchup, but unfortunately, the fries were a little on the soggy side. And a Blake's cider (5). crisp and refreshing. Perfect for a southern Carolina afternoon. Overall, food was delicious, but could use just a hint of attentions to flavor. I would definitely recommend you give Kounter a try. I would love to come back here again and try some more of their menu. Follow me on Yelp and Instagram @noodlesoupr as I travel the world in search of delicious food encounters.
