I recently hosted a baby shower for my son and his partner Kyla, deciding on a catered affair. After enjoying a meal at Piggin Out last summer, I reached out to them to inquire about catering for 60 guests. They confirmed their ability to accommodate our needs, and the outcome was impressive. The food was delicious, and the staff handled delivery and setup with ease. Their friendly team and superior service make them a top recommendation, particularly for those who enjoy barbecue. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable.

I've passed by this place for years and today I was in the mood for some good tasty BBQ. I wasn't the only new customer today, there were 3 others in line with me too! Tight space if there would have been more customers ordering. I had a hard time ordering because there were so many things I wanted to try and the aroma of the bbq was making me more hungry. I ended up ordering the Porky's Pie Bowl - Mac and cheese, baked beans, pulled pork, candied bacon, and mild bbq sauce. OMG yep, all that goodness in one bowl. The pulled pork was so tender and the candied bacon was out of this world. I wasn't watching calories today for sure. I couldn't finish it all so yummy leftovers it is! There is plenty of outdoor seating. It looks like they have added sections of covered seating throughout the years. Minimal indoor seating. I'd come back for another tour around the menu. I need to try something from desert menu too, but I'm stuck on what I should get first, banana pudding, peach or cherry cobbler or frosted Nashville honey glazed cornbread!

Definitely a cute location. We went to order takeout. They were out of a lot of meats and then wanted to upcharge for the substitutions they had available. A bit ridiculous…so we doubled up on meats that already came with the platter. They were also out of some sides. Totally reasonable since we were there so late. Got the food home and the sides were TINY for what we paid. I get that we didn’t get a pint but the tiniest ketchup ramekin for mashed potatoes is ridiculous. In addition, the meat was so dry. The sauce was 100% necessary just for moisture. Lots of flavor, though! I’m happy with the smokiness and seasoning. Disappointed overall. I love supporting local and small, but unfortunately this place just didn’t deliver on quality. Probably will go back to try again since I was there so late and maybe their quality suffers over time. If that’s the case, they shouldn’t serve the last bit of food at the end of the night.
