Very sad that this location is now closed! Beware that website is still accepting online orders.

Took my catering order at 4 pm and had it read by 6 pm. Highly recommend the tender shredded pork and Mac and cheese for parties!

WOW.. ? You can smell the delicious smoked meat aroma of this place several blocks away. I got a 1/2 rack of ribs, tomato & cucumber salad and some Mac & cheese. The sides were ok, but the ribs are SO damn good. Definitely going back. Only 4 stars because the sides were ok, and they need a bigger beer selection.

Beware the pricing on the menus. Ordered up a 1/2 slab and two sides @20 bucks. Was charged $26. Seems they forgot to change the menu pricing. I believe that's illegal in CA..

I've been here several times and I've only gotten the brisket tacos. It comes with onions, a creamy Verde sauce and usually cilantro but, unfortunately they did not have this available when I came in this past Friday night. That's what makes it in my opinion. The brisket was very fatty, I couldn't enjoy the tacos because every bite was a mouthful of fat. The past times, it was more lean. My dad enjoyed his pork ribs, he said they were very tender.

Review is for delivery only, so I can't comment on location or service, but the food! Oh mylanta. I don't even like BBQ (my husband loves it), wnd I now crave this place! We ordered the ribs, Mac and cheese, potato salad, biscuits, and watermelon. Everything was well packaged and still warm! The ribs were some of the best I've had, besides Texas BBQ - they fell off the bone and were tender and flavorful. Not at all tough, which I hate about some BBQ meats. The side dishes were excellent, too. Potato salad and Mac and cheese hit the spot. No frills, just good food. The biscuits and watermelon were my favs. I'm not sure what's in those biscuits, but they are addicting! Maybe some honey? Crack? I mean, who knows. I could've eaten all 4 of them myself, though I'm sure my husband would have fought me! A little butter on those bad boys and that's a wrap *chefs kiss* I have no idea how the watermelon was so ripe and sweet, seeing as we are out of watermelon season; it was amazing! I ate the whole container in one sitting! Juicy and delicious! I'm looking forward to visiting this place in person to get some more of my favs and try more of their menu!

I've had some pretty spectacular BBQ chicken from this location in the past; ordered ahead, found easy street parking, and only had to wait a couple minutes after arriving. The chicken was smoked nicely and not dry. But now, inexplicably, they only have fried chicken; barbecue chicken is seemingly no longer available. You can get pulled chicken by the pound or fried chicken, but sadly, no more barbeque smoked chicken. No more BBQ chicken means no reason to visit them anymore. It's kind of sad given how good it was.

First time at 3 Pigs BBQ at this location. Located on a quiet street with plenty of street parking. They have outdoor seating in the front and a patio in the back. There were 4 of us and we got the Family meal Ribs & Fried Chicken, which comes with a full rack of ribs, a whole fried chicken, 4 corn bread and 3 sides. We ordered the mac & cheese, baked beans, and chili. The ribs were solid and had a nice smoky flavor to them, but were a bit less fatty than I've had in the past. Their fried chicken, however, was fantastic! The batter was super crispy and the chicken was so juicy. Highly recommend! Their cornbread is also very delicious, buttery, and has full corn kernels. I think the area they fall a bit short is their sides, which were fine, but nothing special. Overall, they shine where it counts, their meat!

So I was craving ribs, and did some research. I figured a place with 3 locations must be doing something right! I chose San Carlos because I figured parking would be easy, it was! My experience was great from the start! We were greeted warmly and were helped by Kelly who was very helpful and welcoming! My buddy and I both ordered the half rack of ribs. My sides were deviled eggs and cornbread, he chose chili and mac and cheese. We are not shy eaters so we decided to get a couple of pieces of fried chicken too!! Also got pig candy!Let me tell you, I felt that the ribs were perfectly cooked. Pulled of the bone clean and tender. Kelly brought me all four types of sauce to try. Spicy, medium, house, and mustard. I liked them all, my favorite was the Spicy! I was pleasantly surprised I like the mustard one a lot, especially since I'm not that into mustard. Cornbread was good and the deviled eggs were delicious. My buddy let me try his sides and they were delicious. The chili has brisket, hot link and pulled pork! Great flavor! Now I am not that big of a mac fan but their's was tasty, I believe it is smoked as well. The fried chicken was also a star. Pig candy was tasty, but I prefer it to be a bit more firm. But will get it again for sure.At this point Tony came by and checked on us , and inquired how we liked the cue. We responded we were very happy we made the 25 minute drive from San Francisco.As we were finishing up an English gentleman approached us and also asked what we thought of the food. We gave him our highly satisfied opinion and it turned out he was the new General Manager, Paul, on his first day. He was genuinely cool dude! We had a great conversation with him and we are most definitely returning soon! Can't wait to try other things on the menu! By the way, ribs reheat nicely and we're still tender. Highly recommend and want to give a 5 star rating to the service and attitude of the staff! Ownership should be happy that a first impression has created a loyal and satisfied customer!
The food was spectacular Brisket done just right ribs to the Die for

26$ for a brisket plate with 3 strips of brisket? I don’t believe 2 tiny sides makes up the difference. Was looking forward to a nice meal even with such a high price point but still, now I’ll have to cook up something so I’m not hungry as well.

I decided to try a brisket tray and was surprised and upset by tiny portion of 4-5small pieces for $26 with tips. Taste is okay too. I’ve tried better at other places. Wouldn’t come back again.

3 of us had dinner at 3 Pigs BBQ on Wednesday and we are giving it 3 thumbs up. We highly recommend the pulled pork sandwich and I loved their coleslaw. We'll be back for sure

Ordered the tray; my choices were BBQ chicken and Tri-tip. sides of cole slaw and baked beans. Also, you get a piece of corn bread too. The chicken, while tastey was a bit dry. Flavorful though. The Tri-tip was delicious, beefy and melt in your mouth. Cole slaw and beans were good too. Customer service: Excellent
