About Tickled Pig BBQ

Tickled Pig BBQ is a restaurant located in Madison, near Rutledge. The interior is spacious and clean, with a train car attached to the building. The service is friendly, with a lady at the front counter greeting customers and taking orders.

The menu offers a three-meat combo, which includes pork, chicken, and brisket. The chicken is served pulled off the bones. The restaurant also offers a brisket sandwich. Sides include green beans and smoked Mac & Cheese. They have three different sauces available on the table.

The pulled chicken is tender and has good flavor, although some customers may prefer chicken smoked on the bone. The pork is surprisingly dry, which is unusual since it is easier to smoke than the other meats. However, the brisket is the star of the menu. It is tender, juicy, and has a strong smoky flavor. It is some of the best brisket available in Georgia.

The green beans are solid southern-style, and the smoked Mac & Cheese is a great choice for a side dish. The Nutter Butter banana pudding is a unique dessert, made with crushed up Nutter Butter bars, but some customers may prefer it without the Nutter Butter.

Prices may be considered slightly high, with a total of $31 for a three-meat platter, a side, a drink, and a dessert. However, customers agree that the brisket is worth the price.

Overall, Tickled Pig BBQ is a great option for barbecue in the area. The brisket is a must-try, and the service is friendly. However, some customers may have been shorted on the amount of meat in their orders. If in the area, it is worth a visit, but it may not be worth driving from home instead of visiting a familiar barbecue place.
