Pig-n-Pepper

Straight and simple: this is the best overall BBQ joint I've ever been to in my entire life. I am a Dallas native who comes to Fort Smith on occasion. I've tried Dallas BBQ, Fort Worth BBQ, and even Chinese BBQ. Who would have thought that Fort Smith BBQ would be on top.My experience:I came with my girlfriend and ordered catfish with ribs + okra and beans then for dessert an apple pie. I was happy that the okra was pipping hot and delicious. Great!Then I tried the catfish... Woah.. fresh, crispy, juicy catfish. Okay. Didn't expect it to be that good but whatever.Then I dipped it in the tarter sauce - okay. Now they must be kidding me. Even the tarter sauce was good.I loved the ribs, the sauce, everything! It was delicious!So what did you think I thought when I tried the Apple pie? 5/5The people are great too

I usually reserve judgment on a restaurant until after we've made a follow-up visit, in case they were having a good/bad day. But I'll give a review on our experience tonight!Cute place, not terribly crowded. Friendly server. They start you off with two kinds of pickles: one sweet (though they are pickled with jalapenos) and your more sour/salty pickle - both were excellent. I got three meats and two sides: chopped chicken, hot links, smoked sausage, hush puppies, and baked beans. Both of us liked the chicken! They are more of a dry rub place, though sauce is available (vinegar-based). The hot links weren't what I'd call "hot" - more salty, but tasty. The smoked sausage had more of a kick to it, a nice smokiness with a kick at the end. The hush puppies were a little bit of a let-down as I found them to be a bit denser than I would prefer, but they were cooked in fresh grease, so props to them for that. The baked beans tasted homemade and I rather enjoyed them and I'm not normally a fan.My husband got the all-you-can-eat catfish and ribs plate with coleslaw and okra. I tried a bite of the coleslaw and thoroughly enjoyed it - again, it tasted homemade as I could really taste the freshness of the cabbage. Didn't try the okra, but Khoa ate them all, so he must have liked 'em. He had never had ribs before and wasn't a fan (he doesn't like fatty cuts of meat), so I gave him my chicken for his ribs: I enjoyed the ribs. Again, they come with a dry rub that offers some nice seasoning without overpowering your palate. The fried catfish was fresh and delicious; I would definitely come back here for the catfish!We enjoyed it enough to go again, so I would recommend giving it a try.

The bomb of a place for BBQ. Great prices, friendly service and very good food, large servings, big enough to share. Ok Can't wait to take my sister here to eat.

We literally ordered and sat for 1 hour. No one checked on our drinks. And our food never showed so we left

Probably a bit unwise to have an entree item called "Trump Tower." Support who you want politically, but as a customer, walking in and seeing that isn't very welcoming. As a business, you may want to consider changing the name.

Food was amazing, we tried ribs, smoked chicken, chicken tenders, catfish, hush puppies, fried okra and French fries. I highly recommend the spicy BBQ sauce just made everything even better. Niki our amazing waitress also recommended the chocolate cream and peach pie OMG amazing. The price was extremely reasonable.

I always have their bbq pork sandwich, last week was a game changer. I tried their catfish and it is the best in the area! Not greasy, perfect crispy crust and flavor ! I'll still order their bbq, I love their homemade sauce that goes perfect with it!

The ribs are fresh and good, the pulled pork is fresh, very relaxed atmosphere and the waitstaff is very fondly and if is busy the owner will make his rounds and check on everything and make sure you are taken care of. The drinks are served in mason jars.

Me cousin said that he got food poisoning and died it was sad then I went and got food poisoning and died so now I'm saying this in heaven and my funeral is at this pig-in-pepper and the service is very bad the whole staf team was so mean they started singing never gonna give you up and I died again

7-25-20 We went for lunch tables were not clean, one person was cook & waitrer, he was friendly we ordered BQ Pork Sandwich with French Fries Slaw. The food was served fast but the French Fries were COLD not a bit warm.The BQ sandwich was on a cold bum toasted is what should have been served Im sure they dont have heat lamps to keep food warm. The cook/waiter had no interest other than just putting something on the table. The owner should never trust him to cook. We are on a pamndemic BQ sauce was served in large bottles and also the catsup that other people had used and handled.The bottles were not full and looked not clean This is unsafe as there needs to be indivdal portain containers for aLL sauces The BQ sauce was not like before it was lumpy and the idea of comunity bottles was scarey.This place is struggling and the owner needs to L@@K close
