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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Place has really gone down hill- food was awful and high priced. Used to be one of my favs but not anymore. Meat (brisket) was fatty and unchewable. Coleslaw was scary tasting and the rest basically sucked- I spent almost $30 and threw it in the trash. Complete garbage- don't waste your time or money. read more

We've been here multiple times on our drive from California to Utah. This place has great food and a relaxed atmosphere. 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!

We were stopping in Winnemucca for the night and stopped by The Pig for dinner. Cute place with a friendly sports pub vibe, complete with pig themed antique decor. The service was quick and our server very helpful. I really enjoyed the tri-tip Philly cheesesteak, which was very flavorful without being too greasy and my wife really liked her crispy chicken sandwich. We will definitely come back next time we're in town. 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

Despite good reviews on the BBQ, we found it average. The inside is not inviting. We got lukewarm, overpriced takeout. Service was great.

Best ribs I've ever had. My compliments to the chef. Seriously, stop bye and get them.

I am very picky about ribs. The ribs here were fabulous. I got a 1/2 rack and a side dinner salad. The ribs were very meaty and tender. They had a spicy rub and were smoked to perfection. I opted For the honey bar-b-q sauce. I could only finish 5. Aj had the hot links with beans and coleslaw. The links were tasty but not too hot. The spicy sauce added the heat. The beans were very good. They were nicely seasoned. The joint was jumping. We sat at the bar were we could see 3 TVs playing poker, baseball and softball. The bartender was our server and boy was he busy. He still had the energy and time to be friendly. We will keep the Pig in mind the next time we are in Winnemucca. read more

Food was good. Love the beans. My husband's steak sandwich was really good. We ordered iced tea. When we asked for refills the waitress said they were out. We got a Pepsi instead. We were charged for the iced tea and the Pepsi. It is a pub. The music was really loud. We couldn't hear each other or even the waitress. She had to keep asking us what we said when she took our order. Multiple TV's, which would be nice if you could hear over the music. read more

Great service people, food left something to be desired. Pork ribs needed work to get off the bone, okay flavor, pulled pork was super dry and lacked flavor and the tri-tip reminded me of sliced roast beef with almost a slightly fermented flavor. The beans were exceptionally delightful. They have three sauces, and without drenching the meats, not sure I could have muscled through the meal. I caught them on a Saturday in between lunch and dinner, so on my next trip I will give them another chance that perhaps I visited them on an off cycle. For the price, I definitely expect more from the meats. read more

The BBQ is amazing! I had the cheesesteak and beans. My partner in crime had the pulled pork and fries. The beef was cooked to perfection as were the vegetables. The pulled pork was also equally good. The beans were made with the burnt ends of the brisket. All of the flavors are perfect. I would say that the category of BBQ is somewhere between Texas and Idaho (Yes, Idaho has its own style...I'm talking to you South Carolina!). The only drawback today was the French fries. They were a bit soggy. The fries is why they got a 4 instead of a 5. If you happen to go to swing through town, stop and enjoy some BBQ! read more

The service here was good, but the food here was unfortunately very bad and the ambiance was empty dark and depressing. They definitely don't use a smoker so that's already a bummer when it comes to a BBQ restaurant. But all of the meats were tough and tasted like meat from a fast food restaurant. The ribs were chewy, the pulled pork was dry and flavorless. Like grocery store microwave meat. And the tri-tip veld like I was eating Steakums. All of the appetizers were definitely just precooked frozen food like you'd get at a grocery store. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. read more

The Pig BBQ & Pub - a table full of food - Barbeque Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

Food: I ordered the pulled pork (regular style) and it was soooooo good! A little light on the sauce but easy fix with the tons of sauces they give you! I got coleslaw on the side and it was really good & refreshing to help balance the pulled pork sandwich. I ordered a side of fried (it was a very generous portion!) skinny style fries that were good. The tri-tip was really good!! *edited to include server name* Service: our server was Jessica! Great personality & welcoming! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I'd definitely eat here again! read more

Stopped by for some lunch Service was good. Food pretty plain but tasty will be back to try more read more

Service was great! Being a southern BBQ snob, and spoiled in Texas BBQ I was skeptical but, open minded. To start, you have to remember you're up north and that means: Pepsi & no sweet tea! Kinda set the tone for the rest of the experience. Meats: Ribs are dry rub and were good, for a local option. The Tri-tip wasn't worth trying. I'm really not sure what I was expecting but, it was drier than the beef fajitas from the night before. The pulled pork was also dry which was odd considering the description. Want to sauce it? Sure but, they're not that great either! Sides: in-house potato salad was actually pretty good! Their house beans were flavorful too. Price: they seem a bit over priced, all things considered. read more

A good stop for decent food. The service was a bit slow but it was because there wasn't enough staff. They are running around frantically trying to get to everything. Good prices and a good menu variety. Fun signs and decor. read more
