Smokey Pig Bar-B Q

The service was friendly and very efficient. Order and food ready in minutes. The brisket was so tender and juicy. And the serving was one very full build it yourself sandwich plus some extra brisket for dessert. The sides of baked beans and mashed red potatoes was delicious. Go hungry. I highly recommend the Smokey Pig

We have been through Bowling Green a couple of times and missed them being open but stopped in today. We were a little worried that the smokers were billowing ugly white smoke but we were encouraged by a busy parking lot. Sadly, that wasn't a good sign of what was to come.Service: this is bare bones and quick paced so order and get out of the window so they can help the next person. It was cleanish but showing its age.Food: my husband got pulled pork plate and baked beans with chips.I got brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese and red skin mashed potatoes.Here is the breakdown:Pulled pork - it was sweet with some hints of seasoning but no smoke taste. And it was more like a boiled wet pork than a smoked pork.Baked beans: these were canned with some pepperLays BBQ chips: best thing on the menuBrisket Sandwich: super dry brisket with some smoke flavor.Max and cheese: talk about velveeta with a large dose of salt. Nothing homemade about this. It was gross.Red Skinned potatoes: why were these sweet?? Why??Overall - super disappointed

Loved the pork shoulder and brisket- could eat here once a week! They get you your meal out quick, and you can sit out side on a ridge above the river, or inside with huge windows showing you the forested river banks below. I can't wait to go back!

Great BBQ! We were in the area to visit the National Corvette Museum and decided on having Smokey Pig Bar-B Q for lunch. What a great find!We had the beef brisket plate and half-chicken plate. Both were great. The chicken had some heat to it as my wife asked for it dipped. The sides are fantastic. It's certainly worth trying out.

Drove out here at 1 PM this afternoon for their half a chicken dinner, and was told at 1 o'clock in the afternoon that they were all out of half chickens. They could do chicken breast but I don't want chicken breast. So we left and went to Mission barbecue and I think that's where we'll go from now on. Too bad I really like the chicken here but how can you be out of chicken at 1 o'clock in the afternoon?

Some of the best BBQ we've had!Hole in the wall shack... smell that smoke!We had the brisket plate, with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. I'm typing as I eat. Brisket is super tender and awesome! Back to eating

I'm going to be that guy. Yes, the contrarian of what the staff and probably what most of the regular diners think is the best thing to eat here. I have to tell you that what I was made to believe by the staff that the one meat that I had to try here was absolutely one of the worst things I've ever had at a BBQ joint. But despite how bad that one meat was that I will tell about later in my review, the rest of it was really good. I always like to start off with the good and positive.When I walked into the Smokey Pig, I was greeted by a very pleasant staff. I asked them if I could have a combo plate. They said they didn't have a combo plate but they would give me anything that I wanted. And that is exactly what they did and they did it in the most money saving way possible and they even threw in a sample of a 3rd meat for me. I also requested every single sauce they had and did not charge me for any of it. I have to tell you that means a lot to me because I'm starting to boycott BBQ joints that charge me for their sauce not made out of gold.The first thing I tried was the three sauces with all the white bread I was given. There are three - a sweet and spicy, a mild tomato type, and I have no idea how to describe the hot. The sweet and spicy and the mild were phenomenal. The hot might have been more like a broth with some spices and the closest thing to an au jus. But it was pretty hot. I didn't use it.The ribs I got on the side were phenomenal! They were easy to chew and were lathered in sauce. If I ever come back, this is the meat I'm getting.The sample I was given was the brisket. The brisket was ok but was far better from the worst. My sides were potato salad and mayo slaw. Both were creamy and tangy. My tea was refreshingly sweet.The one meat that I had to absolutely try according to the staff was the pork shoulder. If you are the owner or manager, I am so sorry for what I am about to say. The pork shoulder was one of the worst things I've ever had in a BBQ joint. It was a thinly sliced pork steak and it was inedible. I was unable to chew it because it was so tough and I couldn't cut it. It was closer to bacon and jerky than pork. I can't believe it was recommended to me to eat. How could a piece of meat that bad be recommended to me when the ribs were elite and the brisket was just better? The place was packed so I know people have to eat it but out of the 300 something BBQ joints I have reviewed on Yelp, the pork shoulder was among the worst things I've ever had on my plate. I absolutely could not eat it and it was more for the fact it was so hard to chew and eat.I really thought about giving Smokey Pig a lower rating but the fact of the matter is that the service was outstanding and everything else but the pork shoulder was really good. For that reason, I gave it a 4. But man, someone robbed me of the joy of eating pork after this one.

Amazing BBQ, especially the sliced pork plate, twice dipped. Service was friendly and prompt. Highly recommend!

Assholes that overcharge for dry bbq. It smelt good driving past, don't know how they ruin it before it gets your plate. Super dry, not flavorful and I think next time I'll go for the local gas station BBQ.

Just driving through and decided to stop here. Place was doing a steady business even at 2:30 in the afternoon. We had the pulled pork with baked beans and vinegar slaw. Food was great! My husband especially enjoyed the slaw. Service was great too.
