The Purple Pig BBQ

After years of visiting Schertz Bank in Schertz, TX, I decided to wander over to the handsomely purple-painted venue for some barbecue. Upon entering, I was welcomed by a cozy, decorated dining room and pleasant staff. After reviewing the menu and talking to staff and several patrons, I opted for the rib tips, potato salad, and beans. I was pleasantly surprised with the dish, especially the amount of rib tips. The rib tips were meaty and slightly charred. The potato salad and beans complimented the ribs well, and the side order of sausage was also very tasty. Finally, I should have visited them much earlier, but it's better late than never! The food and ambiance are rememberable, and the owners proudly post their faces and military affiliations upon entering the establishment! Kudos. If you are in Universal City by Randolph AFB, please give them a try!!

Delicious! That's the review! Here are the deets.. my hubby had been here a few times but it was my first. I asked one of the staff what would you recommend to a first timer she says with conviction, The Rib tips! I agree and I order baked beans and potato salad for sides. Because in my opinion if you can't get those sides right, you have no business putting the word BBQ next to your business's name. People let me tell you the Purple Pig deserves to have BBQ next to the name!My rib tips were so tender and good I had to make myself stop eating them or I'd embarrass myself in front of my mother in law! The sauce was so good and the way it stuck to the bread! Yummy! You know what I mean! That bbq flavor and the sauce makes the bread a little toasty and soaks into the bread! For my hubby's meal he had pulled brisket green beans and Mac n cheese. Decent but I'd say the rib tips is where it's at. Hubby says he'll go back to the rib tips next time too. He tried the brisket to get something different but we agreed, my food was waaay better than his. We're used to tender & juicy sliced brisket and this shredded like pulled pork and ok.Regarding the interior, there is indoor and outdoor seating available. I love the cute hints of purple to play off the restaurant's name but trust me you may wanna eat your food at home lest you embarrass yourself in front of strangers.. but who cares, they don't know you! Eat in and don't worry about having bbq all over your hands and face possibly your clothes because you won't care! It's that good!For dessert we split a tasty peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.. it had the perfect ratio of peaches, crust and peach syrup. Very good!Thinking of a visit to the Purple Pig BBQ? You should go!

2 stars for the sauces. Fire! The brisket tastes like stew meat & is extremely dry. The portions vs price is also crazy. Perhaps it wouldn't so bad if the food was phenomenal. I don't mind paying a higher price for GOOD food. But mainly, the missing stars in my rating are for the lack of hospitality & extremely poor attitudes of those who are the face of the business. I think some coaching in customer service would do some good. The cashiers are not friendly at all & don't seem to want to be there. Might give it another try, assuming I came on just a bad day or something. But I'm really not looking forward to dealing with the front of the house staff again tbh. Needs work.

I can't believe it took us this long to try the Purple Pig! No more driving to San Antonio for BBQ, because this was fantastic. My wife got the brisket nachos with mild BBQ sauce and loved it. Their speciality is probably the rib tips, which I got and highly recommend. The portions are very generous. I prefer the spicy BBQ sauce, but careful, it's definitely hot! Detroit folks will appreciate their selection of Faygo in the refrigerator.

We are eatting a carnivore diet and stopped here for lunch. It sure smelled promising when we came in. I asked if they used sugar in their seasoning and they said no, so I was so excited to try it! We ordered the pulled brisket, pork, chicken, a sausage link, and a smoked turkey leg. Hermahgersh everything was sooo tasty I had to make myself back away from it all before I hurt myself. The staff are very friendly and there is so much purple colors around it made be very happy! The ambiance is very cozy and fun. I highly recommend this BBQ! Come and enjoy!

We were visiting the area and stumbled on this sweet spot by chance. The food, service and cleanliness was excellent. Highly recommend

I was lucky to find this BBQ restaurant to try.The employees were friendly and there was seating inside and outdoors.I only the pull pork sandwich with the medium sauce. The sauce was just delicious.The sandwich is a good size with lots of meat. The bun had a good texture to it.The pork was done right. I had the potato salad with my meal. I enjoyed it.You order at the counter and they will call you name to pick your order up

This restaurant is located in what appears to have been a quaint little house off Main St. in Schertz. I enjoyed sitting out on the well decorated and manicured front porch. You go up to the counter to place your order. They give you a buzzer that lets you know when your order is ready. Of all the food that we ordered, I liked the chopped brisket nachos the best. The brisket is flavorful and juicy without being too fatty. The pork rib tips were full of flavor but fatty. The green beans were so good! Lastly, I really enjoyed peach cobbler. The chicken was only okay tasting.

It's Black Restaurant Week through this Sunday, March 3. We wanted to show our support so I looked at the list of participating restaurants. Have known about @thepurplepigbbq but hadn't visited to try it out until today for dinner. Not only is this a black-owned restaurant, but it's also a veteran-owned business. Demetric and Cherise Herron are both Army Veterans, who served our country. Made me even happier that we chose to stop by. It was also great to see that there was quite a crowd on a Friday night.Cherise took our order at the counter and checked on us to make sure we're enjoying the food. The Pork Rib Tip Plate is the featured dish for the restaurant week, where $1 is donated to the Lemonade Circle. We ordered that along with half pound of Chopped Brisket, a side of creamed corn, cole slaw, and potato salad. Hubby was excited for the huge Turkey Leg. We all tried everything and it was great tasting food. Hubby tried the hot BBQ sauce while I tried both the mild and sweet. Both were good but I preferred the sweet. Loved all the sides and the chopped brisket was so tender. Outstanding and highly recommended!

The outside of the restaurant was very catchy and appealing. I had the brisket nachos that was very delicious. We also had the pulled pork sandwich and rib tips was also delicious. We were meet with great customer service and the staff made us feel at home. This will be my new go to bbq location.
