Fantastic experience. Picked the place because the name is great. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the preparation and ingredients for allergy info. The food was amazing. Especially liked the burnt ends and baked beans.

I always love coming here when I am in town. The midas touch sauce was excellent, and the cornbread is a must have! The tri tip is hands down the best bbq you'll find anywhere in MT.

It's ok. I wasn't impressed. We went in for lunch last week. No line or waiting time. You order food at counter and they bring it to your table. And the food came out before we were settled with our beverages. Maybe it wasn't a good day for the cook/kitchen because my ribs weren't cooked. Appeared on raw side. The cole slaw was terrible. The service staff members were great and friendly. I guess I prefer Outback Steakhouse bbq ribs and the 1/2 slab is less expensive.Parking: Parking is usually not an issue in Missoula

The Notorious P.I.G. is certainly not a secret to most Missoulians. This review is primarily intended for visitors to Missoula.If you like good BBQ (and I DO), you aren't likely to miss with the P.I.G. I haven't had every item on the menu, but those that I have had are delicious. My favorite is a "Burnt Ends" sandwich. Burnt Ends come from the pointed fatty "ends" on a brisket. I view them as the "bacon" of the P.I.G. menu, as they are meaty but are laced with some very flavorful fat. Think of bacon with BBQ sauce and you start to get the idea. Like bacon, a steady diet of burnt ends isn't likely to be healthy for you, but like bacon, they are a fun treat.If bacon isn't your idea of a culinary "good time", then there are always the delicious ribs, which are more meaty and less fatty than the burnt ends. Both entrees are accompanied by a choice of sides. The beans are a must as a side. If I have an entree with a choice of two sides, there is a large gap for me between the beans and my second choice, which is the slaw. In fact, I usually get two sides of beans.Recently, cornbread has been added as a side and though I didn't try the cornbread, as I only got one side with my burnt ends sando on my last visit. Nothing is going to come between me and beans as my preferred side. However, next time I get an entree that comes with two sides, I'll try the cornbread.The only other entree that I have tried is the beef brisket sandwich. Since it also is part of the brisket, it has much of the same flavor of the burnt ends sandwich but is much less fatty. In my opinion, it is a healthier choice than either the burnt ends or the ribs, but my taste buds are in love with the burnt ends.There are two Notorious P.I.G. locations. The original location is in downtown Missoula. It has maybe only 4 or 5 spaces of off street parking next to the restaurant. After that you have to fend for yourself to find free parking, as downtown Missoula is pretty well parking metered up. If you are up for walking, the closest free parking on the north side of the Clark Fork River which runs through downtown, is to the east of downtown, near the library, maybe three blocks away from the downtown P.I.G.So parking can be a headache. In addition, I'm pretty sure that there is less seating either inside or outside the downtown location than the southside location near Larchmont Golf Course on the southwest end of Missoula. Finally, though ambiance isn't a high point at either location, the downtown P.I.G. is more crowded and darker inside than the southside location.So I prefer the southside location, which is a repurposed Jiffy Lube. They've done a good job with redesign. It is much brighter than the downtown location, and less crowded because there is way more seating, especially inside. And they have onsite parking, so no parking hassles. I think the bathrooms are also brighter and more spacious than the downtown location. (That's the cranky old man coming out in me)Is there any difference in quality of food between the two locations? Not that I am able to tell. However, the two locations sometimes vary in the BBQ sauces available to dress up your sandwich or ribs. There are usually four choices of sauces at the tables. Sometimes one, or perhaps two of the four sauces available are only available at one location or another. Sweet Cady's is commonly available at both locations, a sweet/spicy concoction, a good base sauce to dress up with one of the other sauces.I chose to review the P.I.G. because I have been a customer for many years and I still think they have the best BBQ in town. Chain BBQ is like a chain hamburger - not worth eating. Shop local and give your taste buds a burst of pleasure that they won't soon forget at the P.I.G.! I'm sharing a good thing!

Kaden, the cashier, and the manager, Josh, were excellent hosts. We were visiting for the Veteran's day weekend and my wife and I usually head out for the special deals because we are both Vets. Although there were no advertised specials Josh went out of his way to welcome us and thank us for our service and the food and service were top notch. Thanks guys!

Montana can throw down some mean BBQ. The meat was so tender seasoned well and all the the bbq sauces were on point. I did the 2 meat w/ sides which I selected the pulled pork and chicken and for the sides I did the baked beans plus deviled egg potato salad. The beans have a slight bite to them but they were so good. My niece had the sliced brisket sandwich and apple dessert for the side. I like that they repurposed an old Jiffylube in a restaurant.

I fount the Notorious PIG online while visiting Missoula and called in an order. It was ready in 10 minutes. Everything was just delicious. It was enough food for several meals for me and I enjoyed every bite. The service was just great too. They were funny and pleasant. The place was empty when I got there but as I was leaving three groups massed me on their way in.
