The sandwiches and loaded fries were amazing
Not good food, meat and sides were both awful. No taste, very clean space, and friendly staff however. If I pay 45 dollars for a one person meal, I expect it to be at least halfway decent. Do not recommend.
Pulled pork was dry, sauces were good, potato salad lacking anything but onion flavor. Broccoli good, Brussels sprouts pretty flavorless.
First time coming in thinking it was full dining but you have to order at the counter. I ordered pulled pork sandwich and a side of potato salad. The portion of the sandwich was very generous and had great texture and flavor. The potato salad was okay. They had four types of bbq sauce at the self bar and they were all delicious. Will visit again.
Tried the sampler. Good choice for first time there. Very good. Must try
One of the best BBQ spots in DC! I have been going for many years and the quality and consistency is amazing. The sandwiches are really good size, a great value.
Ordered takeout. Brisket was dry, pulled pork was mushy, forgot all the sauce and the texas toast
5/1/25 was my first experience and I had ribs. They were fresh a juicy. Another important quality is that they didn’t need any sauce; on their own they were delicious. I ordered 1lb and they were very meaty! I may go back today and order again, they were that good!
6/11/25—- I’ve been back to the pig no less than 5 times since my first review and it was great 1 other time and dryer, possibly overcooked, not great unfortunately. I ordered a pound today and way too much dry rub AND hardly moist.
I’ve only known 1 rib joint that’s consistently great, Carson’s, but they’re in Chicago. It’s my hometown and I’ll just have to wait.
Enjoyed my meal tonight. Friendly and superb service from David!
The sweet potatos were a bit undercooked.

Food is usually on point especially the brisket. Brussel sprouts are tasty as well. Good and kind staff. I visit a few times a year.

Honestly, this was the worst brisket I've ever had. Cold, tough and chewy. No smoke ring, barely any bark. I've been here a few years ago, before the expansion, and the brisket was awesome. Hopefully it's an isolated case, but I won't be back for quite some time. Disappointed.
