This is the best BBQ Wichita has to offer. Brisket is juicy and tender, ribs are "fall off the bone", turkey is fantastic, pulled pork is awesome, hot links are fantastic. I have never had a meat/meal at When Pigs Fly that wasn't delicious and made you want to come back for more. All of the side dishes are fantastic as well, I personally love the beans and coleslaw. Both hot and mild bbq sauce is available at the table. The restaurant is nice and roomy with booths and regular seating. It's what you'd find in a typical BBQ joint and exceptionally clean. The employees are top notch, always walking around making sure guests are doing ok, tidying up the place etc. If I had to recommend a BBQ joint in Wichita, this is my go to!! Go give When Pigs Fly a try and you will not leave disappointed.

I stopped in for lunch after seeing the great reviews. I'm from out of town and am always on the hunt for good BBQ. I had ribs, turkey, baked beans and Cole slaw. The baked beans had a nice kick to them and were very good as was the slaw. The ribs, in my opinion, were over cooked, but maybe the folks around here prefer them that way. They weren't bad by any means, just not how I like ribs. The turkey was spot on and perfect! It was the best turkey I've had in a while.The atmosphere is great. The service was very friendly and helpful. They also have great iced tea. If I lived here I would definitely return to try the other meats and sides.

I have stalked this place on social media for over a year watching their creations. Today I had the day off and decided to try the place. I called up a buddy and we met over that the location.I decided to order The Bulldozer since I could try brisket, turkey and hot links. Also got a side of their baked beans. The sandwich was huge. Turkey and links good. I was disappointed with how much fat was in my brisket to the point of unenjoyable. The beans were pretty good. My buddy got a two meat tray with brisket, hot links, and a side of macaroni.Sadly, we both realized the parts we enjoyed most were the sides.Staff were very friendly and interior clean and comfy.

Saw online that they had a burnt ends mac and cheese special which made today's lunch decision easy cause burnt ends. So we stopped by late afternoon for lunch to go and ordered the special as well as a smoked turkey sandwich. After a short wait we had our food. Always appreciate a short wait time. I did try a bite of the special which was really, really good. The burnt ends are perfectly seasoned, the mac and cheese was creamy and it had onion crisps as well as green onions. All of this came together in the best BBQ mac and cheese I've ever had to date. Hubby also enjoyed it very much!As for the turkey sandwich, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Due to reflux issues I have to opt out of having BBQ sauce on anything which can be a bummer. But not with this sandwich. Again, this turkey is perfectly seasoned and it's not dry. This is a problem with most smoked turkey. I loved being able to eat this without needing to drown it in sauce. I will definitely get it again in the future!

So once again, I find the BBQ spots when I'm on the road for work. This one was a great choice. 1. Greeted immediately and liked the vibe of the spot. 2. The gentleman who gave me info was kind and courteous. 3. Brisket or ribs is usually what I try at any BBQ spot. So here I went with the ribs. Great flavor, fresh, good serving size and not a bad price at all. 4. I got cream corn and garlic green brands as sides and man.... Truly... excellent flavor. I'd encourage anyone to try these sides. 5. Any BBQ spot would never receive a lower rating for this but.... You don't have Mac and cheese as a BBQ spot?!?!?! Come on!!!! . 6. The sweet tea has to be on point for a 5 star rating though most of the time... this one was good, but I was as the bottom of the pitcher she it was so sweet I had to water it down (which never happens). All in all, if you're considering giving this place a shot, you should.

When pigs fly has got the jive and sauce. Great slice brisket and hot links. There several mediocre BBQ spots in proximity of when pigs fly but please take my advice and get the real stuff. You won't regret it. Fancy signs and radio jingles don't make award winning smoked meats on the same level as when pigs fly bbq

WOW! The barbecue here is SPOT ON. I have tried their combo platter with cheddar sausage, brisket, and ribs. The meat is flavorful, juicy, and smoky. The only small flaw would be that out of the two times I've ordered here, my second order's ribs were on the dryer side. Nonetheless, the delicious sides (ESPECIALLY THE CREAMED CORN) totally made up for it. Their beans and green beans are also very tasty. You cannot beat the prices either, for such quality barbecue I was surprised at how reasonable their prices are here! The atmosphere of the restaurant is friendly, family-oriented, and fast/quality service. This is my new favorite and I will be returning again very soon!

Being from the PNW, where good BBQ isn't a thing, I had hopes for this restaurant. Of all the BBQ restaurants we dined at on our adventures to the center of the country this one was fair. Not bad, just uninspiring. Service was good for counter service. Probably will choose to try another option next time we're in Wichita.

I was disappointed in the BBQ pork ribs at When Pigs Fly BBQ. I grew up in Wichita KS and the pork ribs from Rudy's Ribs were a regular Friday/Saturday treat for me and my best buddy -- who would become my husband. Unfortunately, Rudy's is long gone and the only ribs I could find were overly spicy and a mixture of several types of beans as a side. Won't be eating here again. I was surprised by all the positive reviews because hot and spicy is not generally not standard fare in this Midwest town. Sigh.... Guess I got spoiled.
