Pig In A Pickle

The food was pretty good. But it was overpriced so I had to remove a star for that. They don't do combo plates only sell items a la carte.

Orders the following for a total of $33.
Sausage link: 5/5 seasoned and cooked well with your choice of sauce.

Brisket chili: 3/5 chunky full of meat but lacks flavor.

Mac & cheese: 3/5 cheesy but lacks flavor

*** idea I tried - mix the chili with the mac and cheese - still lacked flavor.

they put their foot in them greens

Potato salad: 5/5 very good!

Amazing brisket. I think some of the best in the Bay Area. You can choose between fatty or lean, and theyre both very good. Corn bread is massive and really good as well. Mac and cheese looks not great, but its significantly better than it looks.

Chicken and ribs are just okay in my opinion. And the sauces are all very sweet, even the spicy one, which needs more of a kick too.

Overall though very friendly people, budget friendly, and really great brisket.

Some of the best brisket I’ve had in the Bay Area. They asked me, what I liked, so I took a mix of fattier pieces and leaner pieces. Yum. Good brisket is hard to find around here.

Small portion on the hot links. Sauce was avg at best. Potato salad had too much mustard

If you are coming here from the south, don’t expect this place to be anything like it, for the price you could go elsewhere and get a much better meal
Once you’ve experienced actually southern bbq, spots like this simply don’t even compare.

Not saying it was terrible but it left much to be desired.

I went to pig n a pickle for the second time this evening my first trip was during the day around the lunch hour. This trip was around 6 insh. I am not sure if the employee who was my cashier is unhappy ,but he was indirectly rude and dismissive..I didn't have any comments or request I was very polite..strictly business..all my my sides was great I tried the white sauce and it is something different. The short ribs I order tonight should've been weighted and written off for tax purposes...due to the low smoker the meat was still tender but it was dry no grease or fat tissue tear.
Everything else was awesome ...the skinnier guy who cut my slices of meat was very polite ,but the cashier was very rude seemed like today was his down day or something I am not sure and will not assume. He could have some personal things going on in life. Anyways the food was over all good except the dry ribs..thank you for being in the community of the eastbay and being quality to the surrounding area..unpaid 70 total for my purchase and split it with my sister on her lunch break.

This place has only gotten better since opening. Their sauces are great

I love the food. Service is lackluster. Workers aren't friendly , or welcoming nor inviting.. cold, dismissive when asked questions. Blank expressions
