Three Little Pigs Bar-B-Q

Over the past few decades I've regularly eaten here, and overall have greatly enjoyed their food. The best thing that that this little joint has is their pulled, chopped pork. (I feel sorry for the tourists who miss out on good barbecue by getting trapped at Corky's or The Rendezvous.)

On a scale of 1-10, I rate them a 5. And, the reason for the five rating is any place that smothers their sandwich in sauce is hiding something. That is substandard BBQ. Three Little pigs doesn't need to smother their sandwiches in barbecue sauce. Even though it is consistently less smoky than better places, it is consistent with no fat and gristle. I hear their cheeseburgers are better than the barbecue. I've never had the cheeseburger, so I don't know about that. Tops is a place where you go and are Jonesin for barbecue but there's no One & Only, Corky's, Paynes, or Cozy Corner close.

Called 8 times to place an order as I drove from downtown to the location at 6:00pm. No answer. Including once when I was standing in their nearly empty restaurant. This was to get burgers because the last time I got a BBQ it was not suitable to eat. I do not recommend them anymore. Go to Tops is my recommendation. I went to subway.

First and only time I'll order from there. While waiting...The cashier must've scratched under her t-shirt 10?times and pulled it up to wipe her nose. She may have not touched the food but it was too much for me. Took the order and threw it out. Bummer

This BBQ is amazing! This is a must try bbq joint.It's very sanitary & quiet. People run to this location because they are aware of the spicy goodness that this place holds. This place is all about tender delicious meaty goodness. This is slowly becoming a Memphis favorite. The lines are always long. The people who work here are friendly and professional. The food is totally worth it. Old fashioned BBQ with a spicy goodness. I give it 5 stars.

I used to love to come here and eat, years ago. The past two visits the food has been worthy of sending back. The last visit we ordered a breakfast plate and the eggs were un-eatable and sausage burned to a crisp. The inside of the diner is just gross now too. I am a local supporter but not when things go downhill. I hope things change at this place bc it was a great place for many years.

What happened to Three Little Pigs? Is it the new management? I just ordered a family onion rings that I know the cashier said onion rings because I heard her say fry them extra because I was traveling to Lakeland.I get to Lakeland and I have a family size okra. Which would be fine if my family liked okra. Thankfully they got the onion rings instead of fries on my two jumbo plates right, but now I'm stuck with a styrofoam container of okra that I paid for that no one will eat.And I tried to call, but the phone just going to voicemail asking me to enter a number? Seriously?I understand mistakes happen but now my only recourse is to drive 20 minutes away to take this back. And honestly, the cashier seemed so uninterested, she could have said onion rings and rang up okra - who knows!!And don't try to leave a comment on their web page / that gives an error, too!Wrong order, phone doesn't work and website comment is broke. That's just poor business.

Something is different. Been awhile since I've been in but evidently they've changed ownership. I took a friend in and we both got the pork plate. It was pretty bad. BBQ pork was like it was boiled and was drowned in sauce. The slaw was the only thing that was edible. They give you a Marie Calender roll for your plate instead of a toaster bun. Not acceptable. Beans and fries were nasty.

I had the jumbo BBQ plate with tea for lunch.The fries were seasoned coated and excellent. Wish there was a larger portion but the BBQ took up a good portion of the plate. Good trade off. BBQ sauce was vinegar base with some sweetness as was the slaw . Baked beans when flavorful as well but I would add a touch of sweetness like honey and hickory smoke.I always save the bread for later but on the way home... one bite and that was itTea was perfect ..not watered down or strong and overbearing .BBQ was the best! The meat flavor,texture and moisture was excellent. Cleanest chopped meat I've had in years. Service great and nice large screen sports TV screens.Highly recommend

Stopped at a gas station on Mt. Mariah and asked the tenant where to get Bar B Q in this area. They directed me to Three Little Pigs at Quince and Whitestation. I ordered a junior sandwich plate. Was looking forward to eating that sandwich. Took a bite and pulled back a long strand of hair. I immediately spit everything out and threw away the plate. That did it for me, will never eat there again. Advice to owner, if your employees are gonna wear long hair and prepare food hair nets should be requirex.
