Porkey's BBQ

We were headed to Jug Bay for an evening event with county parks and recs. GPS said want a shorter way? Sure. Except we bypassed every food place possible. This was literally the only place around. We were hungry. It's a hole in the wall little strip of shops on the service road. But you walk in and it's clean and bright and smells like fried chicken and BBq. A steady flow of people coming in. My only regret is not getting the cobbler. So what did we get?I got tenders and fries and both were fresh. Loved the wedge fries. Kiddo got pulled pork sandwich which he loved. Hubby got 3 piece fried chicken and wedges. Chicken was fresh out the fryer. Delicious. Also got a side of Mac and cheese. Cheesy goodness. I want more! Rest of the menu offerings were legit too. Good portion sizes and prices. So if you are randomly in the area...go here.

The 1/2 slab of wet short ribs were sooo good. I wish I had know about them sooner. Really delicious like traditional short ribs are. The sauce is a perfect blend of sweet-n-spicy, nice zip.

I love there chicken. But, if you don't get there close to 5 pm, chicken is very dryed out from sitting under the lights. They have very good food usually. They close too early also. 7pm. Way to early especially now that summer is here...

Nothing beats Commanders opening season plus the BEST BBQ in Southern Maryland. If you haven't been to Porkey's......you're missing out.

This was very good food. I loved the barbecue and it came with a side of vinegar and cole slaw. The bun was beautiful! The fried chicken was also really good, and the potato wedges were uniquely good. It was also super cheap: large bbq sandwich, 2 pc chicken w wedges and a drink and roll, all for $19.

Outstanding ribs and service. Rib sandwich was meaty, smoky and the NC sauce added a nice bite of vinegary goodness. Accompanying coleslaw was very good. They also have pulled pork and chicken, I ordered a chicken dinner for later. Service was quick and very friendly, employees enjoy talking about bbq.Definitely will repeat.

Nice find in my area. Chicken was fresh and good. Worth looking into. Next ribs and sides!!

I hate to talk bad about food but this was terrible. The ribs was ok but greasy, the potato salad had no flavor. The baked beans was the weirdest mixture I ever had. I've eat BBQ all over the country, and this was the worse I have ever had. No garlic bread no sausage no sliced brisket. they gave me BBQ sauce that looked like melted butter I'm from Louisiana we have BBQ sauce not yellow melted butter looking stuff. I guess I'm spoiled with Texas and Louisiana. BBQ. and other food. pic of yellow BBQ sauce below

The pulled pork here is trash. The texture is extra mushy, there is no smoke flavor and no color to the meat. Smoked meat has a natural pink color. This stuff looks white when it comes yo you. There also is no hint of dry rub being used. The bark that normally assist with adding the flavor is non-existing. You can find much better BBQ without looking very hard. Keep driving past this one even If your hungry.

The service is not great. It's actually horrible service. They haven't figured out how to queue or be faster. When it was my turned, she called someone else when I stepped up to order. I left and will never go back.
