We had lunch there today. Very fast friendly service. The food was outstanding as always. The smell of fresh pit cooked bbq as you walk in gets you ready. They now have Alabama white bbq sauce and it is good. read more

Service was fine, the food in the other hand was terrible. My husband got brisket and turkey and proceeded to accidentally bend his fork while trying separate the turkey. Both meats were extremely tough and dry, that's not even the worst of it I got a Mac and cheese bowl with pulled chicken and it was more like cheese water chili soup. I know bbq is pricey but to pay $50 for terrible food is unbelievable we will definitely not be back strong recommend you save your money and go somewhere else. read more

The Pedalin' Pig-Boone - "Mac & cheese bowl" - Barbeque Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

We decided to go to The Pedalin Pig on a whim, after spotting it across the road from BobaBing! So glad we did because not only was the place packed with people, the bbq was absolutely delicious. We got the Two Meat Platter with Prime Brisket and St. Louis Ribs, which the cashier said were their specialties- so tender, fall-off-the-bone, smoky. For sides, we got hushpuppies and fried okra, which were again perfect- crispy and savory goodness. It came with their apple butter and bbq sauce, both were chef's kiss. Ambiance and service were good. There's a parking lot upfront. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Great experience during my vacation to the Blue Ridge Mountains! Great food, environment, and people! When I vacation again down the road I will definitely visit again! Shout out to the 'Hostess with the Mostess'! Keep being awesome I highly recommend this place. It is a lot of fun. read more

For me, it was a meat-lovers dream. I found this place to be a fine BBQ restaurant. I ordered the smoked ribs and brisket and the meal was wonderful. My wife was also very happy: she ordered a large salad (see picture). read more

I was in the area with my parents and wanted to try this BBQ joint. We arrived on a Saturday at around 1:30pm and the place was already quite full, but they were able to seat us rather quickly. We decided on sharing the 3 meat plate (pork belly, turkey, and beef brisket) with 2 sides (collard greens and mac and cheese) and asked for toast, along with their banana pudding and it was just the right amount of food for us 3! If you have a big appetite this may not be enough for you, but we were quite full. I am allergic to pork, so I couldn't touch the collard greens and of course the pork belly, but my parents thoroughly enjoyed them both, and they are picky eaters! I e joked everything, and appreciate that the banana pudding was a good size and not too sweet. I am super happy that we all left satisfied and full and ready to tackle Grandfather Mountain right afterwards! read more

Well worth the visit. I had the two meat platter with pulled pork and smoked turkey and my wife had the brisket sandwich and sweet potato fries. Great! Fantastic flavor and the beers were cold too! Nice service and quick. Always seems busy for the right reasons. read more

Cute bbq joint. Food is very good overall. We had great service with Ryen, but all the staff was friendly and attentive.

the food was amazing. the atmosphere was okay. the waiter had massive BO. he stunk like crazy. we had 6 adults and 1 child. they charged us 20% gratuity without telling us so i left him a large tip. he ended up getting over half of the bill as tip. that pissed me off. if I could get it back I most certainly would. read more

Our server and the bartender were super. We enjoyed their friendly banter. Started with hush puppies and fried pickles. Plenty of $3 Modela beers. We ordered everything from tacos, Turkey, trays, sandwich and salad. Other than the disappointing mac and cheese (no one ate theirs), food was really good. Don't let the Circle K scare you off. It is not in the gas station--close but a stand alone building. Nice live edge table and cool atmosphere. Great for groups! read more

The Pedalin' Pig-Boone - Lunch with the kids - Barbeque Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

This place was recommended to us! Delicious BBQ. I had baby back ribs and hubby had brisket platter. Portions are LARGE and everything is tops. We started with glazed pork belly appetizer that you must try too. We arrived at lunch on Tuesday. I was the only woman most of the time. Mostly working guys coming in on lunch break in groups. Energy is all good and a big selection of beer on tap. Even though we walked in behind several big groups, we had great service and food came fast. Highly recommend. It's in an old barn with fun decor. Very country/small town local feel. This is a WIN for us. read more

Overall a decent BBQ place - a few things that I noticed though (1) you can't order just a brisket plate/tray, you have to get it as part of a combo plate. (2) Hush puppies - I can't remember going to a BBQ place and having to order HPs as a side - especially paying $4 for a bowl of 5 of them. (3) After bringing out our plates, one was the wrong plate and when I got the waitress back to correct it, she took the plate that had been on our table for a couple of minutes and put it back in the window so someone could take it to the correct table. I wouldn't want a plate of food that had been sitting at someone else's table. read more

The Pedalin' Pig-Boone - $4 for 5 hush puppies.... - Barbeque Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here very family orientated. Sophie was my waitress. She was very attentive and was pleasant the entire time. Me being picky with coleslaw I asked her how it was and she immediately grabbed me a sample instead of trying to explain it to me. I was skeptical about the fried pork belly never had it before. But it was so good and of course being a bacon connoisseur I was very skeptical at first. Sophie really did talk me into getting the pork belly and I'm glad she did. If I ever visit Boone North Carolina again I will definitely come back for more hopefully Sophie will be here! read more

The Pedalin' Pig-Boone - This was the three meat platter with brisket fried pork belly and ribs with beans and coleslaw as a side. - Barbeque Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Well, I can't speak about the service or ambiance because we got take out. However let me tell you how disappointed I was in the food and serving size. We ordered a three meat trifecta or whatever the heck and it was only enough food keep in mind we ordered for three for like one and a half. I was genuinely broken because it was a long day expecting some delectable BBQ to send the long day only to have enough for less than half a plate! BBQ atrocities. read more

We had a great experience at the Banner Elk location so we drove a bit out of our way from West Jefferson to grab a late lunch here yesterday. It started with about a 20 minute wait - not a big deal. The hostess called to let me know our table was ready and mispronounced my name - it happens. She led us to a wet table - at least it was cleaned right? Our server was friendly enough and got us our drinks quickly. I took awhile for her to come back and take our food order. 30 minutes after sitting down we still didn't have our food. I ordered ranch with my meal when we ordered and it didn't show up with our food, so I asked for it again. About 15 minutes later our server came back and I had to ask for the ranch a third time. Our food was mediocre - it was definitely better in Banner Elk. My sweet potato fries were burnt - the ranch was not made that day - some slices of the brisket were cooked perfect and another was overcooked. The hash brown casserole didn't taste fresh but was decent. The ribs were better at the other location. The pulled pork could have been better as well. It was also nice to watch folks who ordered their food after us get served in less than 15 minutes. I didn't stop in the restroom, but I heard it could have used a good cleaning from one of my dining companions. The kicker? The 1am phone call I received from the same phone number calling to advise our table was ready. We'll probably drive the extra time for better food and better service the next time we're in town. read more

Excellent service excellent food!!! Drinks kept full, nice family atmosphere, food came quick and hot!

Our wait was quick and the service we got was amazing!! The food was great and we had no complaints!! Definitely recommend this place!! The ambiance was wonderful read more

Read the reviews. Was excited to try. Worst dinner EVER. Frontdesk attitude unbelievably bad. not trying at all. Banner Elk location. Love bar-b-que - restaurant was close. Was SO disappointed. read more

The Food was Amazing! We got the Choose 3 meats. We got the Brisket, Ribs, and Pilled Pork! Juicy Brisket, meat falling off the bone, and had multiple sauces to try and we had all Samples. They were fantastic! I would love to buy some of their sauces! 10 out of 10. The waitresses are very young and respectful, and the location is very good and clean. I'd try the Ale, but I don't recommend the potato salad read more

I wanted to try some bbq and saw this place as an option. It had been rainy all day but it was finally clearing out. I have my dog with me so I hoped to sit outside but it is not covered. Instead I ordered it to go and it was ready in the 20 minutes I was quoted. I got the pulled pork plate with a side of Mac and cheese and collared greens, and then the add on brisket. The sides were okay, kinda salty. The meat was pretty good. I had enough food to save for a second meal too. read more

I will DEFINITELY go back when I head back to Western Carolina. read more

Good if not great Texas style bbq. Nothing really stood out, but it was a decent meal for everyone involved.

All the servers are emo which took me by surprise, great service tho. Ribs were great, spare ribs tho which the menu didn't state. Coleslaw had 0 vinegar and the Mac n cheese was cavatappi noodles and white people queso mixed in a bowl. Cool vibe overall 6.5/10. read more

brisket and pork were dry and no discernable smoke. The pulled chicken my wife got was salty to the point I wasn't willing to bring the leftovers home for the dogs. My was REALLY disappointed. The service was meh at best, only thing I can say positive was it was quick read more

Stopped here for dinner last night and was really impressed! Very busy place so expect a wait, but the food was well worth it in my opinion. Flavorful and lots of sauce options. We got The Pit-Master tray for four people and we still had some left over so the portions were great as well. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and want some good barbecue! read more

We came in with a large party, and Jocelyn did an amazing job taking care of everyone. She was organized, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly despite our group's size. Great service and a great experience overall! Food was incredibly delicious. read more

We had people visiting from California that wanted a no nonsense southern barbecue experience and they were really happy with this choice. We had about eight people, we came a little early for dinner, and we were able to get a table fairly quickly. The atmosphere is causal and open, food was above average quality, reasonable prices, and no service issues. read more

Stopped on our way to Creston and we are so glad we did. I got the smoked brisket tray with collards and fried okra....delicious!! The brisket was so tender and had amazing flavor. As someone who makes collards greens these collards were really good and southern approved (lol )! The fried okra was perfect, not to much batter so you could still taste the okra. My husband got the pedilon tray which comes with pulled pork, sausage, ribs and two sides. He is a man who has 2 green eggs, and a youder and grills out on the weekly and this was husband approved!! Everything was tender and delicious with great flavor!! Now let's not forget what we actually started with the chicharrones with a side of jalapeño cheese sauce! Yes ma'am I say yes ma'am these were a-mazing! Fresh and hot!! Highly recommend stopping! read more

Food is really good. Pulled pork & brisket are the tops. pulled chicken is tender but a little spicy. the service is OK, a little inattentive but not horrible. I don't think they've ever cleaned the bathroom tho. read more

Had take out. Slaw, beans, potato salad, pork bbq, chicken bbq, and hush puppies. Everybody loved it chicken bbq was a big hit. Hush puppies were exceptional! read more

Sorry no pictures. The BBQ is great we enjoyed it very much. We had the Double Smoke house taking home leftovers. 4 people could actually share. The service was quick, our server Madison kept up with us making sure everything was good and if we needed anything. The atmosphere is family friendly, there is a bar with TV to watch sports. I know when back up this way, will stop in again. Highly recommended you stop in. read more

Brisket was as good as some of the best we've had (Franklin's in TX). Sides were also great and the atmosphere was very chill. Definitely a place to check out if you're in this area! read more

The Bluegrass jam on Wednesday night is exceptional entertainment! The Grilled cheese with Brisket is very good.

We came at 11:30 on a cloudy chilly Saturday with our dog in tow. We were offered rags to dry our table off as it had been raining but we brought our own towel but appreciated the offer. The service was great. We got the heavy hitter platter with 4 meats, 4 sides and all the sauces!! Delicious. We visited the banner elk location years ago and got the same thing and have been dreaming of if ever since. The Boone location came through. The price was very affordable for all you get and the beer was generously priced. We have leftovers too. We weren't planning on coming here we were headed to downtown Boone but I knew the parking would be a mess on a busy peak fall weekend. I'm so glad we remembered the Pedalin Pig and came here instead! read more

Honestly the best bbq i've tried. Authentic and the atmosphere is unmatched. A bit expensive but worth it. Really sweet service

Jenna, one of the restaurant managers, is a great asset to this establishment. We will dine here each time we travel to Boone. She goes above and beyond to help the restaurant customers! The food is great too! read more

I really wanted to give them a higher score, but when I received my food, I was very disappointed. I got turkey on a salad, and it wasn't a cheap salad, so when I saw the amount of turkey that I had on my salad, that was minuscule, I was very disappointed. When I asked the waitress if that was the right amount of turkey on there, she said yes, but that she could get me some more for an extra charge. Now keep in mind the rest of my party all received heaping portions of meat on their trays or sandwiches, so it wasn't like I was asking for something out of the ordinary. There was plenty of lettuce, but that wasn't what I really wanted more of. Just more than an ounce of turkey. Everyone else enjoyed their meals, but I would not recommend getting the turkey salad ever. The inside of the restaurant is large. We had to wait for a table and sat at the bar and had some good drinks so I do recommend going here just be wary of what you order. read more

We enjoyed a late lunch after spending the morning hiking several local trails. The restaurant is beside a gas station. The exterior signage is not very good but look for a painting on the building of a pig riding a bicycle. There is plenty of parking. We sat at the bar and received great service. I enjoyed the smoked Turkey salad with a side of bbq sauce. My husband ordered collard greens and what they call chicharrones...I would call them fried pork skins. (In south Florida chicharrones are meatier.) They came with a cheese sauce. They have a large offering of beer but a very limited wine list. The food was good. Our least favorite part was the collards. read more
