Warning: This Review May Cause Uncontrollable Drooling If BBQ restaurants had a "cute factor," this place would be a golden retriever in a tiny chef's hat. The staff? So fun and friendly they moonlight as professional best friends. The pineapple salsa hit like a tropical vacation I didn't know I needed. Nachos were great -- no notes. The pulled pork was so flavorful it made me question my plain-chicken era. The brisket? Fork-optional tender. And the mac and cheese was so creamy it deserves its own zip code. But the real villain? The Chubby Cow Taco. I don't know what sorcery lives inside that thing, but it now haunts my dreams in the best possible way. 5/5 stars. Will return. Possibly tonight.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Really really sweet bbq sauce and coleslaw. It's a cute quirky place and the help was nice

After eating SW/Mexican, we were ready for a change. This place offered a change of pace. I was surprised at what we found. The ribs were decent. The brisket was not bad at all. The pulled pork was also not bad. The worst of the bunch was the pork belly, but still, I could eat it. The bbq sauce was not bad either. The food took some time to prepare, so that makes you wonder, however, it was the best bbq I had on my trip. Cortez is lacking in good restaurants, so this is a place worth visiting if you're looking for a change of pace. Is it the best? No. I have had better, but it is good enough for me to enjoy. read more

The Wigglin Pig was a pleasant surprise. We weren't sure what to expect walking in, but the food delivered and service was great. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and full of real cheese flavor. The brisket was tender, packed with flavor, and paired perfectly with the mac. Pretty solid all around. The slider trio on the Hawaiian rolls was delicious, my favorite was the pork belly. read more

Stopped here on our way to Mesa Verde National Park as my husband wanted BBQ. Be warned, there is a sign saying "We serve FRESH food. Not fast food." There was only one server and likely only one cook in the back, however they were cranking out food as fast as they could. The server lady was very attentive considering she was the only one working out front. Food was okay, and they had a fairly extensive menu with a few BBQ items, burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches. My only grump, the mac n cheese had way too much cheese and the cheese was a little watered down. read more

Service and food were both good. Prices were fair as well. Overall, no complaints. We'll be back.

Service was fine. The food was not very good. It seems dirty and run down on the inside. The sliders are on Hawaiian rolls. It may look like a bbq place but there is no smoker in sight. read more

Driving through town on the way to Utah and stopped for lunch. It is a small place tucked way back but as you walk up, your sense of smell tells you this is gonna be a great meal. My nose did not let me down. I had the Hot Diggity Dog, deep fried dog wrapped in fried monterrey jack cheese with green chili, which was delicious. The waitress was super friendly and helpful deciding what I should try first. Service overall was fantastic. The Wigglin' Pig will be on my must stop when traveling through Cortez list if the timing is right. In fact, the only reason I'd probably try another place is if the WP was closed. read more

Stopped here on a trip to Arizona for breakfast and am so glad I did. Had the corned beef hash, outstanding flavor. Corned beef was great as well as the potatoes. Got a side of the gravy and added to the hash, went from a 10 to an 11. Server was awesome and always attentive. Have zero complaints. Great stop on my road trip. read more

What a great find while traveling from Durango to Vegas. BEST Margarita I have EVER had! BBQ was tender, delicious and plentiful (as were all portions served). Considering all the livestock we saw on our journey, we were ready to partake in some succulent meats of both the bovine and porcine varieties and the Wigglin' pig delivered! Mac n cheese was creamy and Texas toast the size of...well, um...TEXAS! Service was friendly and helpful with suggestions. Prices are very fair. Plenty of easy street parking. Great little town and Wigglin' Pig is worth any road trip detours you may have to get here - FABULOUS! read more

My to go order of ribs after I ate one! Delicious Sliders are fantastic! Try the Hawaiian, sounds odd with "bacon jam" but it's excellent. Mac and cheese and fries are average good. Looking forward to returning! read more

Happened upon this place based on another post as I am not familiar. Our server was so warm and friendly; like we've always known her! Food was delicious! Brisket was tender and perfect with sauce on the side. Best coleslaw and sweet baked beans balanced it all so well. The chicken was smoky and fork tender. My kiddo ate all her veggies here! Seasoning on the zucchini and squash great. Hubby devoured the drunken cow burger so fast I didn't get a chance to try. Nuff said in that. You won't be disappointed. read more

The Wigglin' Pig has great food and is open for dinner. The pulled pork is excellent.

The food has been absolutely delightful each time we've been there. Service is great and it's quiet. Skip that shitty restaurant in front of it by the road and go to The Pig. I think they've changed their hours which sucks but it is seriously the best food in town. Nothing flashy and no bs hipster kale bbq like most of CO. I wish they would advertise more cause other than here and a few other places we have found, the food and beer scene in SW Colorado has been very bland and tasteless. read more

Was very happy pleased that our dog was welcome on the patio, a lovely place for breakfast. The food was also very good. My disappointment was the disposable styrofoam cups, plastic plates & disposable cutlery. Even second hand plates, mug's & silverware would be a big step up. read more

Wonderful experience at this fun restaurant. Service was excellent. There were only two servers handling the restaurant and to-go orders and they didn't falter one bit! Our drinks were always filled. The food was excellent. We shared the onion loaf (essentially onion rings) as an appetizer and it was stellar. It was just the right amount of greasy and crispy to make it satisfying! We each had one of their burgers. My spouse and I had the jalapeño popper burger and my mom-in-law had the classic cheeseburger. We also had the margaritas and spiked lemonade. We left very full and very satisfied. I'm short, come here for fast and very friendly service with delicious, elevated bar food and BBQ. read more

Walk-in order togo and they were out of almost everything. Should've known better because there wasn't a single person in there! Still took almost 15 minutes to prepare. Brisket was fatty and pulled pork was dry. Won't be around for long!!!! read more

This review is for any travelers who may have stopped in Cortez, Colorado and are looking for a place to eat. Because you are in luck my friends!! I was once in your shoes, scrolling through yelp and Reddit in search of food recommendations, worrying if a stranger understood the contours of my award-winning palette. But aha--look no further! This is the place for you to eat, the decision is done. Trust me. People who don't trust me pay the price. But if that wasn't enough of a vouch, I wrote a haiku for Wigglin Pig I really love this food Love this food I do I do I really love this food Enjoy! read more

It's so great to find a yummy meal when you are traveling through. Don't let the dirt lot discourage you. The Beef Brisket sandwich and sliders with bacon jelly were so good. The service was small town friendly and spot on. read more

Great food and service, definitely will be back. The sliders were great, and the special tacos to die for.

This place looked a little funky to me so I didn't try it for a while when I moved to Cortez. But oh my. Excellent BBQ. And just down home comfort food. And the collection of pig stuff cracked me up! Anyway, great food and it's all made fresh, no mixes. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to eat while we were in town for a wedding. I saw that the ratings were 4.5/5 so I expected to be really good, however I felt kinda gross after I saw how dirty my unused fork was with old food on it. The waitress got us new utensils but only my boyfriend's was clean and my new one was still dirty so I didn't even eat the Mac and cheese. read more

On our way to Durango, we stopped in Cortez to grab a bite. The original restaurant choice was closed (3:30pm), so we popped into The Wigglin' Pig. We were the only customers in the place. (after the lunch crowd & too early for the dinner crowd). Hubs ordered the Firecracker Burger & I ordered the special - Ghost pepper Burger. Both delicious! We enjoy spice & heat, so these burgers were just right. Flavorful, juicy & freshly cooked. Neither of us were impressed with the fries, but who had room for those cuz our burgers were filling enough. Glad we stumbled on this place. read more

Great food, location scared me. Get past the dirt parking lot and appearance of being in someone's back yard. Once you get inside you will love the food! read more

BEST SMOTHERED FRIES IVE EVER HAD. they stayed open late just to serve us and we are so thankful! Best food and the best service!

While staying in Cortez this week, we tried--UNsuccessfully--to order dinner from The Wigglin' Pig. Using their online menu, we made our selections and then called the restaurant to place the order. The very first thing that I tried to order--a salad--I was told "We don't sell those anymore." I had the same experience with my second choice. Not knowing, and frankly no longer caring, whether or not the establishment would sell me anything that I wanted to eat, I simply hung up and chose another restaurant where--amazingly enough--I was able to choose my dinner from the things listed online. Hey owners of The Wigglin' Pig, listen up: This is 2020! A lot of people are placing takeout orders to keep themselves safe from COVID. If you can't be bothered to keep your online menus up-to-date so that your potential customers can know what you do--and do not--sell, why should those same customers be bothered to keep trying to place an order from your restaurant? read more

We chose this place while on vacation. It did not disappoint. They were able to accommodate our large party of 15. They have a great menu with a lot of BBQ options. They have BBQ mac and cheese! I didn't grab many pics since we were all so hungry. Check this place out when you are in Cortez, CO. read more

The pictures of the smothered fries are what brought me in, but I ended up going with the Porky slider and Bacon & Cheese slider. They were the boom, so good!! My husband got 3 tacos - Pulled Pork, Carne Asada and Shrimp and all three were delicious (didn't get a picture before they got wolfed down lol!). read more

It was absolutely amazing. The fries were one of my favorite things ever. We will definitely be back.

Amazing Food/Amazing Service! On our way through town on a road trip, I got bbq chicken and my husband got a sample of all the bbq offered. Everything was delicious. I recommend the coleslaw, very good! The Mac and cheese was that perfect blend of gooey goodness and so cheesy! We also had the onion loaf as an appetizer, if your an onion ring fan, just do it. The staff were so pleasant and helpful, even though we were late diners, they talked with us about town and things to see and never made us feel like we were overstaying our welcome. We will be back next time we are in town! read more
