Such a great spot! The food was delicious, the service was fast and the staff was super fun and friendly, and the overall vibe was perfect. Everything we ordered was spot-on. Can’t wait to come back!

10/10 outstanding! Everything from Customer service to food was fantastic and quick! The smokehouse platter (ribs, brisket and spicy sauce) was delicious with their BBQ sauce, sides were so tasty and the kids even enjoyed their cheeseburgers along with the apple cobbler for dessert. We would definitely recommend and look forward to the next time we come back here!

We had a great lunch at Pedalin’ Pig BBQ with our two kids, and the experience could not have been better. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual family meal, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Chance was our waiter and truly knocked it out of the park. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, especially with kids at the table.

The ribs were recommended to us and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Extremely solid and full of flavor. Everything came out quickly and was cooked perfectly. The kids loved their meals, which is always a win, and we left feeling happy and satisfied. This is a spot we will definitely be coming back to again.

We had the most absolute best meal here while in town! The atmosphere was laid back, great music, ice cold beer, amazing bbq food. But the best part by far was the attention of Chance, he was so attentive, didn’t even wait for us to ask for refills and was just so nice and welcoming! Thank you Chance from your Miami friends! ❤️

Disappointing BBQ Experience
We were excited to try The Pedalin’ Pig during our visit to Banner Elk, as it’s a well-known spot for barbecue. Unfortunately, our meal fell short of expectations.
The food arrived warm at best, not hot, which made it feel like it had been sitting out for a while. The meats lacked bold flavor—everything tasted bland and underwhelming, with nothing particularly special or standout about the preparation or seasoning. We ordered a meat platter expecting the usual BBQ accompaniments, but there was no bread (like buns, cornbread, or rolls) served with it, which felt like a missed basic for a barbecue restaurant.
The sides were average, and while the service was friendly, the overall quality didn’t match the hype or prices. We left wishing we’d chosen elsewhere. Might be worth trying on a different day, but this visit was a letdown for us.

The pork was really good as were the collard greens. The bananas pudding was also good and served with a good presentation.
