The Smoking Pig

The food is great! Awesome decor.. Friendly employees.. The owner smokes her own meats.. Come on Down to Historical Falmouth Ky..

YUM. The pizza was delicious & pretty quick. I also ordered the salad & that was pretty good as well!

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.

The sides are incredibly small, I wouldn't say I would never go back, just like another review said that what you pay in comparison of the size of your side, I wouldn't go back because of that. They also got most of our order wrong. I've never seen shredded brisket, so it completely dried it out (I've only really had it sliced) the people were nice and the in-town location was super charming. The food was pretty good especially being one of the only restaurants around, the size of the sides just kill me, think about a medium sized ranch tub you get from a wing place and that's a good comparison.

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)

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!!

Yes! Drove by this place on the way back from a work detail. Delicious! Always happy to find an amazing bbq place! Hopefully one day I'll be back up this way!

I happen to live just outside of Falmouth, which is our mailing address, so this restaurant is very close. It is a branch of the one on Highway 27, which was where we first had the occasion to eat their food. Not long after, they expanded and bought a building in Falmouth and opened a restaurant there. They put a lot of effort into the décor, and it looks a lot like something you would see in a larger city, like Cincinnati. The bartenders and staff in general are polite. The menu is large enough whereby one can certainly find something they like. All in all, a pretty nice place. So, why did I only give it three out of five stars? I'll explain using a pro and con format. I will start with the pros. Pros: 1. The décor is awesome. Simply one of the best decorated buildings in the city. The atmosphere is definitely an A+. 2. They have a happy hour where the appetizers are half price and the beer is reduced as well. 3. There is a very nice setup with tables, and the bar, which is made from the lane of a bowling alley, is unique. 4. They have a good selection of liquor for cocktails, bottled beer, and good beer on tap that isn't just Bud and Bud light. 5. The place appears to be very clean, and the food is served in a timely manner.My wife and I ordered the sampler platter, or pig out platter, which had pulled pork, brisket, pulled chicken, and four wings. It came with rolls and three sides. This item was advertised for two. However, the portions were too small, the wings were just one section, so only a third of a wing, not a whole one, and the sides were ridiculously small. No way could two people share a side. In addition to this, we also ordered a sandwich called the Korean Kickin' Chicken sandwich. Sounded good on the menu, but a disappointment as the sandwich was flavorless, with no hint of anything Korean, Kickin', spicy, or otherwise. So, let's do the cons: Cons: 1. The sides are way too small, especially when advertised for two people. The sides we had ordered were mac and cheese, Betty's Beans, and jalapeño poppers. Serving a reasonable amount of beans and mac and cheese isn't going to break the bank. The servings of meat could have been a little more as well. 2. Too expensive for what you receive. Not complaining about the price, really, for it is in line with what you would pay at any BBQ place. The issue is with the quantity of food that you are getting. When you order for two, you should get enough for two.Those two cons are my only issues with this place. They just need to bump up their portions a little. Otherwise, it is a great place and I am glad that they located in Falmouth. Here's hoping they read these posts and take these comments, which are offered as constructive criticism, to heart.

Great ribs and service with plenty of outdoor seating! Recommend the bourbon bbq sauce and corn pudding

I am sad that I have to give such a low rating but the quality of this place has significantly declined over the past 2 years. I'm only giving 2 stars because of how awesome this place USED to be. We live about 10 miles away and used to love to stop here after a long day of kayaking. We noticed last year the quality of the BBQ started declining. The meat was not fresh and maybe from a day or 2 before. The brisket, chicken, and pork (we always do the sampler) were so dry and dull looking for 2-3 times consecutively causing us to stop going here. The only saving grace was the sauces and fries. Today we decided to give it another shot, thinking maybe it was just a phase last year and that everything would be back to normal. We were so wrong. My husband got the brisket sandwich and I got the loaded baked potato with pulled chicken. His brisket was super dry even loaded with sauces, the meat soaked every bit of the sauce up it was so dried out, and even then was tough. My potato was flavorless (no salt,pepper, anything), the chicken was not as dry as his brisket but I found 2 bones in mine. We won't be spending another dime here and it's very unfortunate because we live visiting to shop for antiques and plants.
