The Pig

Family of 4 ate for $70.00. Smoked chicken good - different - love their vinegar sauce - coleslaw was yellow - fresh - tasty - no Mustard as I expected - normal. Fries good, sliced fresh cucumbers gently pickled were really good and a lot of them. Food was solid.

We ordered BBQ plates: Pulled pork, with slaw, pickles and hush puppies.The pulled pork tasted fine, but was a little dry. The pickled cucumbers (rather than pickles, think of them as cucumber slices in vinegar / sugar water) were very good. The hush puppies were made with good dough (not too sweet), but their long curly shapes made the focus on the fried exterior rather than the flavor of the hush-puppies themselves (not so great - too much fried flavor, not enough hush-puppy flavor). The slaw was peculiar and awful -- it was yellow (not sure what that's about), but the big problem was that it didn't resemble normal coleslaw (or the coleslaw pictured on the restaurant's web site). This slaw had been run through a blender, chopped so fine that the little pieces were about 1-mm across (way too small, losing all texture and crunch). Someone left the slaw in the machine for far too long -- not good).The Pig had been strongly recommended to us -- we were disappointed.

Plenty of parking in a shared lot.Small place with limited tables.Just an FYI for anyone not from NC and or from a state that has real pit BBQ the term BBQ in NC means pulled pork in a vinegar based sauce.I have had NC BBQ many times on the past when I live in NC and also when visiting but today I decided to get a catfish po-boyWe were in a group of 4 and all the food was good, service was fast and friendly. Potato salad is redskin potatoes and mustard based and really good, but the coleslaw is odd, finely diced ingredients and yellowish in color, taste started out like coleslaw but finished weird, not a fan as I prefer regular coleslawOverall place was good and would visit again. Prices a little high for po-boys without including a side of fries. However they do give a large serving of the pickles which are really good taste like bread and butter pickles.

Biting into the Carolina Boy BBQ sandwich was a tasty trip to the South--imagine tender pork so well seasoned that practically melts in your mouth, paired with collard greens that taste like a hug from your grandma. And let's not forget the elote corn--it's so good, it could turn a corn skeptic into a corn enthusiast.

One of my favorites in chapel hill. Pimento pork nachos are *chefs kiss*every time. Outdoor patio and indoor half booth/ half table seating.

So being new to the area I wanted to check out the local bbq joints and Googled for some suggestions and found this place. I ordered a bbq sandwich and a regular ice tea. The service was friendly and quick. That being said, it was down hill from there. First off, the bbq was dry and had no flavor. I've been smoking meat since my 20's (I'm 41 now..) and I've made better pulled pork dishes than these folks. Aside from that, their regular tea was a small cup and the price I paid for the tea and the sandwich was ridiculous! Over $15! Smithfield BBQ definitely does a better job and doesn't charge out the ying yang. Definitely recommend you look elsewhere for some good bbq, cuz this place isn't it!

The staff who took our order was friendly and attentive. I had the beef brisket plate and the portion is huge. The meat was moist and not overly salted. I think they are too generous with the pickles. Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy with a southwestern seasoning to it. Overall not the best BBQ place but it was good enough for a quick BBQ that wasn't too pricey.

It's a simple diner-style barbecue joint. The service is kind and the food is prepared quickly.The brisket is well-cooked, but gets lost underneath a ladle of warm sauce. The egg salad-type cole slaw is a little awkward and I'd recommend coughing up $2 to switch this side. The pickles are more similar to cucumbers dunked in vinegar, but still a nice refresher. The hush puppies on top are decent, but it makes the plate a little crowded.Cheers!

No wait at 5:30pm. Comfortable patio. Food was ok. The interior was simple. Drinks are sold next door. Seemed like the best bet for NC BBQ near chapel hill, but I probably won't come back.

Really good brisket! A little on the expensive side but worth it! Service people were friendly and the area was clean. My whole party seemed to enjoy their food.
