I ordered the brisket tray with Mac n cheese and potato salad, my husband ordered the tri tip sandwhich for pickup. I must say the brisket has a very good smoke flavor and was very juicy. Mac n cheese was also very good and bread crumbs on top gave it a nice texture. My husband enjoyed his tri tip sandwich with the house BBQ sauce, it was tender and juicy. Had an issue with my order and called the restaurant and they were awesome and very apologetic. I would definitely come back in the near future.

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

Really quite dissapointed with the food here. We ordered takeout with a fried chicken sandwitch, and a tri-tip tray with a side of brisket. I don't usually like leaving bad reviews but the tri-tip here really confused me. On the surface, the tri-tip looked perfectly cooked with a nice pink color. However, the texture didn't quite taste right, and when I put the piece down I found that the bottom of the slice was actually overcooked. I really am not sure how we ended up with slices that were half perfect, half overcooked, but that's what we got. In terms of the other items, the chicken was quite dry and the brisket was overdone to my liking. The tri-tip was the biggest offender in my opinion though. We also didn't recieve our second side and cornbread with the tray, but honestly I should have checked the bag more carefully to avoid that. Overall quite let down by the food quality.

Most amazing ribs, pulled pork (especially the tacos), and collard greens. Tons of food, this is a great value for your money. Kid menu is good, too! Service is quick and friendly. So glad that 3 Pigs came to town!

First time here and ordered the chicken sandwich. One large breast on a large bun. Unfortunately even with the Alabama sauce it was very very dry and ended up having to get another portion of sauce. My son had the brisket sandwich which he said was much better and would choose this if I came again.

The San Mateo outpost of the BBQ joint. Their dry-rubbed ribs are decent but the highlight is really the grilled chicken! Friendly and helpful staffs and quick service.

I bought ribs, chili & was sampling the tri tip. The ribs were good & flavorful. The chili had a bbq sauce that I am not used to. I am a beets fan so I tried that too. This place is a nice place to go to & have ribs & chicken with the guys & sports fan. The owner is super nice!

For BBQ it's pretty solid around here, but it's not like Texas. I had the brisket sandwich. Very good, lots of meat no skimping so totally worth your money. I think the best menu item was the chili though. That tasted like a Texas BBQ classic. I would definitely go back for that.

First time @ 3P BBQ and it won't be my last. First and foremost, the service! Isaiah was a total rockstar! He helped me on the phone with finalizing my order through the app, walked me through the menu and suggested some of his favorites, and just could not have been more inviting through the whole experience. He recommends the fried chicken and collard greens the next time since I ordered the ribs and tri tip. The meat was so succulent-- had me drooling before every bite. The potato salad was hit as well. Everything was so fresh! Isiah freshly made my watermelon feta salad, packed my sides to the brim, sprinkled sesame seeds on my coleslaw, and so much more. I'm definitely sold and would 1000% recommend 3Pigs for to help satisfy any bbq cravings and get your delish, juicy, meat fix!!!

My wife and I were in need of good bbq. 3 pigs did not disappoint! The moment we walked in we were given heartfelt welcomes from the entire staff including the owner. I got the perfectly cooked brisket sandwich on a delicious role. My wife got the fried chicken which was excellent. The real standouts were the candy bacon and the chili, which were excellent.

Awesome briskets!

Delicious! Loved the ribs and brisket. All the BBQ sauces are great.

Kees Stokman

Great staff, mediocre chili, decent cornbread but flavorless dry fried chicken.

Excellent food. Perfectly cooked ribs and bbq chicken. Really good potato salad and coleslaw (although the coleslaw was a bit sweeter than I like). Collard greens were very good with some big pieces of pork in it. And the corn bread was the best! Slightly spicy with some chilis in it. Would definitely come again.
