The Big Pig was delicious and got to eat it over at the Truckers pub!!!!!

The brisket is off the chain, bbq chicken sandwich is scrumptious, and that pulled pork is the best I've had. I love the baked beans, garlic cheese curds, and the chicken wings are off the chain as well. They always take care of me anytime I roll through! Check it out!!!

Amazing! We found this on Google and the name caught our attention, but the menu really made us go. The Smoked Poboy is amazing. The pork is tender and juicy. The andouille is Smoky and spicy. The coleslaw is not over dressed. And the garlic herb cheese curds are good too. You do have to kind of take a flyer and drive around the trucker club to find them. And they did mention some indoor seating available.

New Address - 1707 Avenue of Mid-America. We were driving from St Louis to northeast Indiana when we decided it was time for dinner and started reading reviews for food in Effingham, IL. We wanted to try this because of all the reviews. We went to 3 different locations trying to find it because MapQuest hasn’t been updated and took us to their old location. It’s now BEHIND The Truckers Pub. Took a bit to find it but it did not disappoint. The food was delicious.we ordered the Big Pig, fries and coleslaw. Started with the fries and they were great - hot, fresh, simply made -A+. The coleslaw was awesome - not 100% sure but I think it’s both vinegar AND mayo. Then came the main attraction - The Big Pig! So much flavor! I like BBQ sauce but that was so tasty that it didn’t need any BBQ sauce. Will stop back in on our way back to St Louis next week!

I was traveling north on i57 and was lunchtime when I went through Effingham. I had to pull over because the name had me laughing. Great BBQ! I got the brisket which was freaking awesome. but do wish they had a platter so you get 3 or 4 meats. I'm going to find them next time I go through Effingham.

We've tried a lot of BBQ across the country and this is hands down some of the best! Chicken and brisket were perfection ? - coleslaw was really good as well. Highly recommend giving it a try! Guys were super nice!

My brisket was overcooked and dry. Very disappointing.

Food is excellent! Hands down the best burger in town. Service is top tier and the portion size is very generous. Pricing is extremely fair! I can’t wait to come back! ?

I was on a work trip, and our hotel was nearby. We decided to give it a shot on a nice day, and came here to say this place is legit. Literally better than anything I've tried in KC, and on par with some of the best I've had throughout the whole country. It's not good with a qualifier, it's just good. If I'm back in the area I'll return. Service was excellent, food was excellent, and the people genuinely wanted to see people enjoy it. 5 out of 5 rating is a no brainer.
