Food was very good. We had the classic burger and the pork BBQ sandwich. Would recommend this place.

First, I want to give credit to the servers. It appeared there were only two servers working the entire restaurant, and they were hustling nonstop to keep up with the crowd. Despite being stretched thin, they remained attentive and worked as quickly as they could between tables. As for the food, I ordered the Smokehouse platter with ribs, pulled chicken, and tri-tip, along with fries as my side and an order of pickle chips for the table. Unfortunately, the meats were quite dry. I had requested that the meat come with sauce, but it was served without any. That said, there were several sauces available on the table, so I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference whether it came from the kitchen already sauced or not. The beans were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. The highlight of the meal was definitely the pickle chips--they were flavorful, crispy, and easily the best thing we ordered. Overall, the service staff did the best they could under what appeared to be challenging circumstances, but the food itself fell short of expectations. read more

While retrieving paragliders, that flew from Mount Rose all the way to Winnemucca, I stopped here to grab some food. While looking on yelp, some pictures caught my eye here. I went in and let them know that I only had a few minutes to get some to go food. They said no problem. The hostess was quite friendly. What I ordered: Cadillac margarita Potato skins Half rack of ribs à la cart It only took about 10 minutes and I can tell you the ribs are really good . The hostess that took my order asked what kind of barbecue sauce I wanted, they had quite a few choices, but I just went with plain barbecue sauce. Potato skins were really just baked potato cut into wedges and covered with cheese and bacon, but they were still good. I would order them again. I sat at the bar and ordered a Cadillac margarita. I let the bartender know that I was in a hurry and she told me that she would get to me as soon as she could ... there is no one else sitting at the bar ...she went over to the hostess stand and started talking to the hostess. The restaurant was empty. I sat in amazement. while I looked on, wondering why she made me wait. No customers, no one at the bar ... I guess as a customer you're not allowed to make any demands or want something quick lol . The bartender did have to look up how to make a Cadillac. She did a great job though. The food was great. The margarita was great just a strange little power-play from the bartender. Other than that I would definitely come back. On a sidenote for the bartender: good tips and return customers happen when you give expedited service happily. read more

Great food! The ribs were some of the best I've had! We had a one night stop over - found a spot for our Camper across the street and wandered over! Service was great, and the ambience was fun! read more

Our go-to spot during Runamucca never disappoints! Their tap beer selection is always on point with seasonal changes. This time I tried the French dip - a bit small, but tasty! And as always, the potato salad was a winner. #Runamucca #Beer #Food read more

went In with high hopes, staff was pleasant, food came out very quickly. I ordered the pig skins for our appetizer, I ordered a Tri tip sandwich with coleslaw and with honey spice sauce on the side, and my husband ordered half reck of ribs with buckaroo beans and fries that came with Texas toast. The ribs had no flavor and im sure were boiled, one bite and didn't touch again, we abs loved the fried and Texas toast. When trying the coleslaw, it just wasn't for me, tasted the sauce, I'm sure it was just sweet baby rays, not a fan, then I opened the sandwich and I am 100% sure that was in fact roast beef. Looked like it and tasted like it. I said what the heck let's out the sandwich together and give it a try, my husband and I tried it and out it back down, paid, said thank you and left. Highly disappointed. Price wise, about 60$ for both of us, not bad. read more

Have been stopping at this place for 20 years. Always loved it...service and food. Pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw...that was our go to! No more...very disappointed...sandwich was in a hard hogie roll...very dry. Coleslaw was minuscule. Fries were cold and over salted. Service was ok considering there was one person for the entire restaurant! I guess things change! read more

We were driving through Winnemucca and had multiple recommendations to go to The Pig. Google said it's closed, but we learned it's just under new management. Overall, the food was great the pricing was very reasonable for bbq, and staff was kind. The wings were by far our favorite. They seemed smoked. Seemed to have a little dry rub and the hot sauce on them. The rubs were unique with a dry rub and a sauce too. The homemade ranch and fry sauce were tasty. They were generous with paper towels and moist towelettes. We sat outside because we had our dog. Outdoor seating is likely available just for this purpose. Lots of people traveling and just needing some fresh air and space for their pup. The road in front is high trafficked The indoor dining decor was pretty fun! Lots of pigs from all different places and times in history. Had a sports bar feel too. Lots of motorcyclists but there also seemed to be a motorcycle event in town this weekend. read more

The Pig BBQ & Pub - Barbeque Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

Beer and Texas toast were fine. Ribs were inedible and chicken was just short of road kill. Don not eat here

We happened to arrive here just before opening and I was glad to see that there were already two or three other cars waiting for this place to open. What better sign that it will be good? I had a Western bacon barbecue burger and fries and the burger tasted good. However, it was dwarfed by the huge bun and I was left with a lot of extra bread. The fries looked bad and weren't cooked consistently, but they tasted okay and they gave us some sort of ranch that was flavored with, maybe lime or something, that was really good and I dipped them in that to be able to eat them The beans were definitely homemade and reminded me of my mom's but my husband is more used to hartier beans and didn't care for them at all. He had the smokehouse with ribs, tri-tip and pulled pork. He also got fries with that but was unimpressed with them for the same reason as I was. (See photos) The tri tip was excellent. The pulled pork on the other hand was quite bland so we fed most of that to our dog and she loved it. The ribs were a toss-up because the wet sauce that they put on top had great flavor, but the actual ribs themselves were just okay. For me, the meal was a bit of a roller coaster actually with some good things and some other not so good things, but I'm glad they seem to have a loyal local following here. read more

Food was excellent. Service was efficient. Atmosphere was great bar b que atmosphere. Elsa checked on us twice. She l ew the menu and answered any questions we had. Sauce was available at the table. Level of heat was available on the menu. read more

About what I would expect for a small town. The BBQ was ok and the selection of beer was not bad. Service was a little slow since there was only 2 people present. read more

Stopped here on our way through road tripping'. Service was quick and friendly. There was a nee server there and any mistake was corrected quickly and happily. Everything was delicious! I am not typically a BBQ person but their BBQ sauce was amazing! read more

I wouldn't feed that crap to my dog. Tasted nasty and processed. Use to be good back in the 90's. Expensive for a small portion.

Only two servers, one was trying her best but the other was not moving much and unfortunately he was our waiter. We ordered our food to go when we realized it would take forever to get service (took 5 minutes to get menus and 5 more for waters). The grilled chicken sandwich was so rubbery I wondered if it was undercooked and didn't finish it. The others in my party said their food was so-so. Hopefully they get more servers, but even then the food isn't worth it. read more

The customer service was good! The girl serving us was super nice and attentive. The atmosphere was also cute, I love the decor. The food was great. Only a couple things I could say. The beans, pass on them. They're a little flavorless. Just bland pinto beans. The tri-tip sandwich was super disappointing. Just tri-tip, bbq sauce and buns. I would've loved it if it had some coleslaw and cheese. But no it was super boring. Overall the food was good besides those two items. I would return! read more

Ambience was fun! Staff was friendly and funny (our waitress was very talented! She did the art for the shirts). The food was so good!

This is our favorite bbq spot in Winnemucca. The menu has a variety of reasonably priced options, sauces, and spice levels. There is plenty of seating and a full bar. Come with an appetite; the portions are large @sturdygirlstyle #sturdygirlstyle read more

Amazing!! After a long drive from the Bay Area, we had the yummiest dinner at The Pig. We were warmly welcomed by the staff. Service was good. The pulled pork was so so yummy. And the side of beans, they stole the show. Some of the best beans I've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

On our trip from Jackson, WY to Fremont, CA, my husband & I were looking for a nice place to eat. Checking yelp, we saw our options were limited. I was concerned about The Pig BBQ & Pub due to a pretty descriptive negative review. I am not the biggest fan of BBQ to begin with. Oh was I happily after biting into my The "Cuban" sandwich and the pigtail fries!!! My husband's brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw did not disappoint either. Everything was fresh and served so fast!! The waitstaff was friendly and attentive and the kitchen staff was efficient and friendly. TRY THIS PLACE!!! Don't let the negative review get to you. The meat was so juicy I have stains on my dress from it read more

My son and I went there for lunch. The chicken tasted funny. I mentioned it to the waiter and he said nothing,just shrugged his shoulders and walked away.Didnt offer anything else or even a discount.The ketchup and BBQ sauce which is in squeeze bottles on the table also tasted funny/old. It's like they just refill the bottles without properly cleaning them first. And the place itself looked dirty and worn down. We definitely WILL NOT BE RETURNING.... read more

My partner and I stopped here for dinner on the way to Elko. I had high hopes for a memorable meal, but the food and service just didn't make the cut. The place itself had a dark, grimy, run down feel to it. There is one side of the restaurant that is a bar and the other side has tables. The decor is Nevada themed sports, western, and BBQ pictures and memorabilia. Wait staff was a bit frazzled with a large to go order and it showed when they interacted with guests. Our order of the smokehouse and a tri-tip sandwich were low quality. I added a lot more sauce to mine to make it palatable. The sandwich was just meat, sauce, and bread... boring. The coleslaw lacked flavor to make it stand out. I gave The Pig a try, but I don't think I will return. read more

I like the Pig. The sandwiches and salads are tasty and they stock Guinness (but for pity sake, order the nitro cans instead of the nasty bottles. Anyone who drinks the black elixir will have told you the same thing) I think their sides need serious attention. Everything seems to come out of a tub rather than scratch made on the sides. Making great beans, pasta salad, slaw etc is so easy and would make a huge difference overall. Also, just a suggestion...SCRATCH MADE MAC AND CHEESE. It's a natural on your menu and Nobody else in town does it. Keep it simple and delicious and you will have to beat off the new customers. Just some friendly suggestions from a local who wants to LOVE your place. If you need good, simple recipes for upgrading your sides, get in touch! read more

This place was dead on a Friday night in February. There was one other group when we first arrived just after 8pm and once they left, we were the only ones there, so it was very quiet. The decor was pig themed and very fun. Our server was a super friendly gal, made you feel like you were old friends. The food was decent, but we didn't order any of the bbq which is what they're known for. Would definitely try the bbq if I were to go back! read more

Super food and service we loved the piggy fries! Darling decor, fun place, fair prices, huge portions. Great barbeque spot only draw back is we live in San Francisco and it's a bit of a drive. read more

We eat at The Pig every time we go through Winnemucca and have never been disappointed. We split an order of the half and half (half a smoked chicken and half rack of ribs) and had plenty to eat (even took some home). Our meal included a large portion of pig tail fries, baked beans and Texas toast. We also got a side of coleslaw. Everything was delicious!! The meat was nice and tender, the beans were so yummy and the fries so good! The waitresses were very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

They're baaaack.... Now owned by the folks who own Silver Peak here in Winnemucca, Reno, and Fallon. Menu is pretty much all the same as before (though prices inevitably have gone up, thanks fearless orange leader). Absolutely order some hot wings. That sauce is amazing. Mac Daddy burger is meat fest. And hot links are choice. Amazing service, but yall be nice to them! Remember Fear and Loathing - never burn the locals. read more

Fantastic customer service and the restaurant decor was very cute. However, the BBQ was not a true smoke. They had some good sauces, but the meat was only so so. I had a beef sandwich and my wife pork ribs which was slathered in a sauce we both did not care for. We think their meat is cooked in the oven and is called BBQ with added sauce. Sorry! read more

I don't know if I came on a bad day, but that was the worst BBQ I've ever had. I hope I'm wrong. Our waiter was nice. The bar and restaurant itself looks awesome and feels like a local spot. But yeah I've lived in 3 different states & have never tasted anything that bad. read more

Service was super good. I got a to go order and the lady was really nice. The ribs were tough and over spiced. Not my kind of ribs. They were not easy to eat really had to chew on them and they were just tough so it wasn't very pleasant. read more

This is a reopening of this restaurant with new management and owners from another restaurant in town which has put many people sick. The silver peak. Don't eat there either. This restaurant was closed for several months during the transition reopening with lesser quality food than before I just ordered chicken nuggets it said after looking into it they can't call them chicken strips unless there's a certain amount of chicken. These were sponge chicken made from a liquefied chicken substance with little pockets and crumbly not stringing meat chicken. Absolutely gross. The restaurant was dirty Dusty with stains in the carpet and dirty floor. Nothing that even been dusted even in the ceiling decor or wall decor with the same cobwebs as before. Do not patronize this restaurant. read more

This place is awesome! The food is delicious, the service is quick & friendly, and the prices are good. I don't understand why they don't have 5 stars! I got the baked potato and it was delicious and it comes with a lot of meat. I highly recommend. read more

When you invade a place right as they open with 18 people (most HS kids) and as they open the door they already have your table ready...that's good service! Food was awesome and our server was very patient with a big group of kids who have been traveling for days! Highly recommend stopping in for some great food! read more

Do you like crispy Buffalo wings? Do you like succulent juicy pork ribs with the meat falling off the bones? Then don't come here. Breaded chicken wings with honey flavored coating were inedible. Dried out pork meat stuck to the bones. Potato salad was ok, staff was acceptable and the cook looks exactly like Saddam Hussein, which was the hilarious high point of our experience. Roll the dice and try anywhere else. read more

Love this place. Been there several times on our way through Nevada, and we're never disappointed. We had the brisket sandwich and it was amazing. The Cuban style sandwich was not as good. Loved the onion rings. The fries were super thin but they gave a ton. I wish they served on plates instead of a piece of paper, because the sandwhich made the paper soggy. They need to do something about the bathrooms. read more

Okay, we are en route from Reno to Elko for a family visit and were determined to avoid fast food if at all possible. We're almost to Winnemucca, starving for lunch, and we see a billboard for The Pig. My wife loves BBQ so we are in. Of course we hit Yelp before fully committing and there were a range of great and poor reviews - huh. Well, we stayed with the plan...The Pig it is! The place has a very sports bar vibe - not that it's NOT family friendly but there is definitely a more adult feeling like any sports bar. There were really cool decorations all over the restaurant and we liked the vibe as we walked in. While having a full bar, I went with beer and that was great. My wife had the 1/4 rack of ribs and I had the house special pulled pork sandwich. We both had ours with the honey spicy bbq sauce. While I like my spicy bbq sauce a little spicier, we both agreed it was excellent and bought a jar to bring home. The bbq on the ribs were very good, not fall off the bone great, but good. My pulled pork was excellent but I soon gave up on the roll (it was fine) just so I could focus on the pulled pork. It is a big sandwich! Our sides came with shoestring fries and beans. The fries were overly salty (and we like salty fries). I really liked the beans - I think I could taste a little cinnamon and nutmeg in them. I ate all mine and half of my wife's (she's not a bean lover). Our service was very good - they employ a team effort. The place wasn't super busy but someone was always asking if we needed anything and not in that annoying way. Summary - while it wasn't the best BBQ we've ever had, it was a way better option over a quick fast food stop. It's a strong recommend if you're passing through. read more
