I have a meatloaf issue...the issue is that I love meatloaf. I saw that they have a meatloaf sandwich. I went there and they did have a meatloaf sandwich. It was sublime! Handmade, juicy, bursting with flavor meatloaf In between perfectly toasted bread was the experience. They have some savory house made BBQ sauce and large portions. Good stuff.

We were craving bbq. We've always gone to meat up, but since they closed we've been craving some good bbq. Came here for a birthday dinner and got the brisket and OMG, so good! I love the vibe here and this place is definitely a sleeper.

Ripped off Expensive and Tasteless food very disappointed from this place is not cheap and it has no flavor at all This is my first time eating here the place does not look very clean but I wanted to try it out When I went there was 2 employees working both were on their cellphone most of the time I order a bbq plate with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and a 3 choice meat plate with coleslaw and Mexican corn I also order a extra side of cornbread I got my order to go when I got home my order was not correct I got 2 sides of very cold Mac and cheese 1 coleslaw and 2 sides of cornbread the meat was correct but was really cold I live literally 3 minutes away please save some money and time do not go there

Located in a strip mall on Placentia Ave. quaint little spot. There was a decent amount of table, chairs and booth seating. Always open to trying BBQ spots. This one was close and had good reviews. Self-seating establishment. Find an open table and wait for server. There were only 2 workers that was seen. The server was busy with a couple of patrons so the cook provided us with menus. Server came by shortly with cutlery and napkins. We had Sliders (pulled pork, tri-tip, brisket w/seasoned fries), Brisket Chili Bowl w/Cornbread. Sliders were tasty. All the meats were nicely seasoned and well cooked. The chili was good. They provide regular and spicy bbq sauces. Both the chili and tri-tip sliders had a nice sweet and slow heat flavor to it. Portions were generous. Could've easily shared the sliders plate as it came with lots of seasoned fries. I didn't really care for the cornbread. It was really dense and lacked flavor. Others may like it but it wasn't for me...The crème brüle and banana tower were both really good. A tasty dessert to end the meal. Overall a good dining experience. I'd definitely recommend and return. I'd say a solid 4 stars.

I'd been to this BBQ joint before it changed ownership and really enjoyed it. It had been a while, so I thought it was time to try it out as Pig n Pig. The dining area definitely gives off a BBQ/southern feel, simple yet functional seating and decor. Background music was audible without being overpowering. Service was friendly, prompt, and efficient. Best way to gauge a BBQ joint is to try the meat offerings, so I got the 2 meat plate with brisket & pork belly and for the sides I chose the baked Mac & cheese and the mashed potatoes. The meat was good but the sides were disappointing; the Mac & cheese was not baked (which to me implies that there would be a crunchy cheese or bread crumb topping) and lacked seasoning and the mashed potatoes were also bland (even with the cheese & bacon topping). The service was the highlight of this visit, but sadly, the food will not be something I'd crave to come back for.

Food: I always come here for one thing only. The dominator fries with pulled pork. Don't forget the blue cheese gravy! I drench this with the spicy bbq sauce as well!Service: I never got the waiter's name. But he always remembers my order every time I come in. It makes it so much easier because I don't need to order anything else.Ambiance: it's a small shop that can seat about 8 tables and bar seating. Ample parking in the lot. These are the best bbq fries I've ever had!

Best kept secret in Orange County. Delicious tender BBQ on the daily. Taco Tuesday is a must. Freshly made tortillas and your choice of meats, pulled pork, brisket, tri tip, pork belly or shrimp. You can’t go wrong. I’ve also had a few events catered. All has been outstanding.

We ordered the three meat dinner. All the meats were super dry. The sides are very small. I was shocked that it has gotten such high ratings. The cook/help sit at tables on their phones as others eat at the restaurant which seems odd. Anyway, the food was not even mediocre.....I think the meat was leftovers from the day before....back to Mr. B's

Had the pastrami sandwich, was the daily special not on the menu. As a pastrami snob, I was really impressed. Great Mom and Pop spot!
As a long time Lead Belly customer I was a bit uncertain when I first came here... but the menu is expanded, many recipes are mostly the same (except the Banana Tower, which is new and fantastic) but the service is measurably improved.Damien is a little BOSS! Handling 2 tables, giving advice to her co server, checking the cooks plating etc. BBQ is back on the rotation people!

My go-to is the brisket sandwich and fries. Both the sandwich and fries are phenomenal, and I always feel stuffed afterwards.

I come here at least 1x a month, before it was even up to 2x a month and I always order the Dominator Fries ($16.99) It is loaded fries and comes w pork belly pieces and your choice of BBQ meat on the top! I also order it w a side of blue cheese gravy which brings the dish over the top w yummy-ness. The fries are a huge portion and enough to serve 2 people. I only order that and call it a day. I appreciate the portion size though, and if you come w a group of friends, it's definitely a nice shareable size.The server who is usually there is always so nice and knows our order the moment we walk in the door since we come that often and order the same order all the time. The place is clean and usually never that busy, I've never had to wait for a table. Parking is ample and easy and is located right down the street from CSU Fullerton.

Great food as it seems like the cook is the same one before the restaurant name was changed. Service was extremely slow as those was only 1 hostess/waitress/bus person cleaning up the tables. Yes 1 person doing everything...

Food was absolutely incredible! Got the brisket, tri tip, and ribs. All amazing with the mac and cheese and truffle fries! Good beer selection as well.
