    The Sampler Platter. Check out those taters!
    Ashleigh W.

    This place is off the beaten path, but you MUST stop here! It's definitely worth going out of your way. The atmosphere, the food, the drinks, the decor! It's all good at The Smoking Pig! My husband and I split the sampler platter, which many have commented on, and it was more than enough food for the two of us. Yes, the sides could be a tad larger, but overall, as stated, it's plenty of food combined. The brisket, pulled chicken, and wings were all fantastic, but our absolute favorite was the pulled pork. SO yummy! The platter also comes with these HUGE, amazing french fries that are to die for! There is a good variety of sauces to choose from-something for everyone's liking-and they have a children's menu. Domestic beers are $2.00-crazy, right?-and cold. Don't miss out on a visit to this place! It won't disappoint.

    2 Sample Platters.  You. Are. Welcome.

    With out a doubt, the Sample Platter is just delectable. The meats simply fall off the bone or melt in your mouth. Highly recommended. I brought Mike for his first visit and he is in Smokin' Pig heaven!! He has insisted this is his all New FAVORITE place to eat. (Yummy)

    A better shot of the menu.

    So I've finally gotten a chance to make it around to The Smoking Pig.. Albeit just for carry out but I'm sure I'll go for a dinner sit down sometime soon. First off the decor is very country... and very clean and crisp. A lot of antiques hanging around and even an antique store in one of the buildings. I took a look around and will have to come back and check out some things I might want to buy to decorate my own place. There are two main buildings. One is the kitchen building which has a few seats inside and is where you'll order your food. The other is the store area with more seating. There is also plenty of other seating outside. The menu is fairly short but sweet. It doesn't get too complicated with things and gives you exactly what you want in a country bbq joint. I got the Korean Kickin Chicken with the Pig Tails. The pig tails were kinda of like a wide short curly fry, they were fantastic. The sandwich was fantastic. Spicy bbq charred just right and flavored up. All sitting on a pretzel bun. Those two items filled me up!! Pendleton County is littered with failed restaurants.. I'm really hoping that this one survives. It's a good location for many people in the county and it's priced very well. I can't wait to go in and sit down to a rack of ribs sometime soon!!

    This place is really neat! It has a great selection for your garden (flowers, veg. & fruit) the vintage store has so many great gifts and such. The food was awesome. I absolutely love this place even the decor fits to a tee. New reason to take the scenic route to Lexington from Cincinnati! Wish it was closer.

    Great fall off the bone ribs maybe best I've ever had! Sides were tasty also. We enjoyed shopping the antiques also. We will be back and bring family and friends.

    I wish I could give this a 3.5. The Decor of this place is phenomenal and I can't wait to go back when it's not raining and sit out on the patio. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because the food was pretty hit or miss. By the way our server was awesome too before I forget. OK so the food - the frog legs were really juicy but they were extremely spicy. I asked my server how hot the Cajun were and she said not hot at all. That's not true, I couldn't even eat them they were so hot. The one by it I did it was pretty juicy, it's just way too much heat. I get that there Cajun and I should've assumed that but because I asked I figured they weren't. So the good things that we had - the pulled pork sandwich was awesome. The fried pickles were great, and so was the corn pudding. That corn pudding with hands-down the best thing we ate. The brisket was OK. I loved the chart on the outside but it was pretty dry. I'm used to brisket from like waltz or Eli's, and this was definitely not like that. This could be how they intended to cook it, it just wasn't moist enough for me. I did not like the mac & cheese at all, and nobody at my table would eat it. Really excited to try the peach cheesecake in a jar, but the table in front of us got the last one so I didn't get to try dessert. Hopefully next time. I think you should definitely go and check this place out, will for sure go down and try It again even though it's about 40 minutes south. Next time I want to try the ribs because the table next to us had them and they looked awesome

In the morning there was a little fog over the Ohio which made for a nice atmosphere. The atmosphere is typical casual for a Riverside type of restaurant. The wait staff was very nice and efficient. For supper most of us had the fish special which was either catfish or whitefish. The catfish was very good but the white fish was a little undercooked and somewhat mushy. The Johnny cakes cornbread were cold and not great flavor. So the supper was good but not great. For breakfast most of us had eggs bacon toast pancakes and coffee. The eggs were cooked as ordered, the bacon was crispy, and the pancakes were superb. I eat mine without any butter or syrup and they had an excellent flavor despite the lack of those extras. We tried an order of goetta as most in our group had never tasted it before. I don't really like it but I liked their version. For those who don't know goetta is a combination of beef pork spices and oatmeal that is cooked like a flat sausage patty and is very popular in the Cincinnati area. We were two full to try the desserts but they look pretty good. The price for what you get was very good as well. We would definitely go here again if we are back in the area.

If you like overly seasoned food you will not like this - but if you don't mind, salt, pepper and love then you will like this. I got the country fried steak with extra gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans - I wasn't a fan of the green beans - they were spicy and tasted canned. The mashed potatoes and the country fried steak however were delicious! I also like how they packaged everything seperatly so the gravy didn't make the meat soggy on the way home. All in all I would come back but I would like to eat inside next time.

    Delicious fried chicken!…read more My husband and I both ordered the 4 Piece Dinner - breast, wing, leg and thigh. It also comes with two sides of choice and a roll. The fried chicken was delicious! We both thought it was prepared perfectly. The seasoning was flavorful, the skin slightly crispy and the chicken meat juicy. I chose the side salad and the jalapeño cheddar potatoes for my sides and my husband had the mashed potatoes and green beans. We both enjoyed the sides. My husband said the green beans were really good. I liked the jalapeño cheddar potatoes but found the bagged shredded cheese a bit unappealing. It didn't melt well, was greasy and then congealed while cooling. The potatoes with jalapeños were decent, though. It was a lot of food. We would probably split the chicken next time and order extra sides. The service was fine, the food was good and we'll return to check out more of menu.
