This restaurant was excellent!
Staff was amazing and very friendly and helpful for our first time there. The food was outstanding! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. We were in Thief River Falls for work and if I ever have to have to go back that way I would definitely stop and eat there again.

This place is a go to whenever we go to Thief River Falls!! I love the barbecue. Ribs were dry rubbed yet not dry,, huge and fell off the bone. Excellent. Pulled pork and smoked chicken are moist and very, very good. Our server was very attentive and super nice. I'd hire her! The only reason 4 stars instead of 5 is i wish they'd step up their sides, which were just ok and not up to the standards of the 'cue and the service!!

If you’re looking for a nice, private space to host a gathering or event, Piggy’s is a wonderful choice! They offer a great room and catering options that work perfectly for larger groups. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, the food was delicious, and the setup was absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Piggy’s, for helping make our event so special!

Just had my grooms supper last night at the Piggy BBQ in TRF and it was a great experience! Service was super friendly and professional! The back room is perfect for a large gathering. Food was amazing, we had the catered burger bar complete with Mac and cheese, garlic potatoes, candied bacon and salad on the side. Our group had some nice luck pulling tabs as well! Great place! Highly recommend!
The very first time that I ate from here was dine-in with a friend, a little after they’d first opened…That experience was Not great at all, and I almost wrote them off Completely as a result!
The issues encountered during that first visit were many, and included: the fact that seating yourself wasn’t displayed on a sign in the entry, so as to understand why no one was acknowledging us standing, waiting to be helped, for awhile; service was Terribly slow, in the sense that it took Forever for the wait staff to come take our order, or to periodically come check on our table…And our server seemed to keep changing; it took an Outrageous amount of time for the food to Finally come out (like maybe 1.5 Hours!!!); and, as we’d come in the evening, by that time, a large assortment of the main entrees that we’d desired to order were sold out for the day (like ribs and pulled pork sandwiches), smh!
BUT, The Piggy BBQ has Certainly redeemed itself since then, in my eyes!!! And, I appreciate that they now offer delivery, as well — I think through both DoorDash and UberEats, if I’m not mistaken. Plus, pick-up orders are many times ready by the time you arrive to get your order.
l've LOVED most everything that I've gotten so far! My faves include the: sweet and spongy cornbread (with actual corn in it), baked beans (with pulled pork in it), pulled pork sandwiches/sliders, the Incredibly tender ribs with meat Literally falling off the bone, the coleslaw, the salads and side salads, the unique and delicious key lime pie, and their BBQ sauce! And I’ve heard that the hopper poppers, jumbo tater barrels, candied bacon, and sausage appetizers are Must-Tries, as well! And lastly, I also really appreciate that they offer more unique beverage choices (like grape soda, ginger ale, and Celsius energy drinks), as compared to the typical fountain soda selection offered at the vast majority of TRF restaurants. However…I don’t care for their macaroni and cheese At All!! It tastes like it uses a combination of pimento cheese and pepper jack cheese, smh, so it seems that its name should imply as much (like, “Pimento Pepper Jack Mac-N-Cheese” or something).
But yeah, definitely check them out! You won’t regret it, and will be Very satisfied with the food!!! Plus, I think they’re even a great place for solos (parties of one) to go watch sports at their bar, from what a guy friend told me.
