Pigskin All Sports Bbq

I give the food around a 3.5 but the service was outstanding so I'll round up to a 4.I visited this bbq spot after spending the day working in Hartselle. I found the parking lot a little hard to access (the way the roads cross in front of the restaurant is a little wonky) but once you're in it's a spacious lot. I was pleased to find you could actually smell the smoke from the parking lot. Usually a good sign.It's an order at the counter type of place. Not a ton of tables, but I'd say it feels much homier than a lot of other small bbq joints. I used the restroom after placing my order and found it immaculate. Great job!They have a fairly large menu but I went with a tried and true favorite of mine: a loaded pork potato. I had a large sweet tea to drink and also got a slice of chocolate pie to go for later at home. I thought the price was maybe a tiny bit high (~$17), but prices are high everywhere and then again the portion sizes were immense. The service really was lovely. The lady working at the register was just super warm and considerate. Southern hospitality, I suppose! She thoughtfully packaged my pie and was even kind enough to bring my order to me -- more than I expect at counter service places. I also watched her be exceptionally patient with an elderly couple who had a lot of questions/requests. On to the food itself. The pork potato was the best thing I ordered, which is good since it's a bbq place first and foremost! It was an absolutely MASSIVE stuffed potato -- bigger than even Lawlers. It comes with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, chives, and your bbq of choice (pork for me). I appreciate them adding the butter and sour cream rather than serving it on the side as some places do. I find it melts into the potato better that way. The pork was tender, not too fatty, and tasted good overall, but I do think it was missing a little smokiness. For me, the sweet tea wasn't quite sweet enough, but it was passable. The large size is absolutely massive, lol. The disappointment here for me was the pie. In fairness to them, I have crazy high standards for chocolate pie and it's truly rare for a place to meet them -- my mom makes my favorite. There was a LOT of pretty flavorless meringue, which I scraped off. Underneath it, the chocolate pudding/custard just wasn't chocolatey enough for me. I like an intensely chocolatey pie and this one was just kind of bland. The crust was okay but if I had to guess I'd say likely the Pillsbury store bought kind -- understandable, since it's pretty good and homemade crust is a pain to make. Overall, though, I'd return for the pleasant atmosphere and tasty tater. Give them a try if you're in the area.

Great BBQ and pies. Fresh sweet tea. Service is fast and friendly. Has a eat in area with around 10 tables and a big flat screen to watch sports! It's not overly loud or flashy inside. A nice place to eat.

Fantastic bbq and the sauce is amazing. I always love it when Im at a family event and we get this BBQ + the chicken.

Friday . That's correct. I'm telling you to get catfish at a barbecue establishment. Superb!

This place is delicious every time we go. You get ton of food for the price and it is absolutely delicious!

This place will give you more for your money. They will load your plate with great food and excellent service. They will take care of you from the time you walk in the door until you leave. Check them out...you won't be disappointed !!

This is such great BBQ and Fish Friday is wonderful. Best flavor Turkey! Staff and owners very nice and friendly.

Prompt, friendly service at drive-thru. Pork sandwich was very good, Brunswick stew good, ribs disappointing (seemed to be boiled first, no smoky flavor). Worth stopping by when in the area.

This place is amazing! We are from out of town and wanted to find a small mom and pop diner. The food was delicious! I can honestly say those were the best ribbs I have EVER had!!

So first off this place is great. You wanna know how I know? Because the building that is currently occupied by All Sport's has housed two separate and unrelated eating establishments. One was a ladylike cucumbers and tea kinda place and the other was a mid range barbecue place. Both went under. Yet, All Sport has taken the reins and nothing will stop it in its goals to spread smoky flavor and friendly service through the town of Hartselle. Am I saying this place has nice staff and excellent pie? Perhaps. Am I saying that this place has decent wait times? Maybe. Am I saying that the nachos from this joint will grant you unending knowledge and a deeper understanding of he purpose of the universe? Abso -FREAKIN-lutely.
