Food was really good, they had live music, musicians were great. 2 stars for service because they acted bothered by questions about the options of plates/meals or buffet.

In Williamston for Church event, so this was our first time eating here. I must say it was delicious and we will be going back next time we're in the area. Great portion sizes and we could not eat it all. Good thing it was in a take home container. Customer service was very friendly and the prices were reasonable.We are before going to our event, and was so glad to get to eat the rest after the event.I had fried, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy. My husband had ribs, chicken, buttered potatoes stewed vegetables.chicken was good and the hush puppies were also good. UPDATE:4/26/2024: The food was still just as good as it was on our first visit some years ago. ?

My husband and I decided to stop to eat dinner before heading home. I’m so glad we chose Porky’s BBQ. The young men serving were very friendly, and the food was very fresh and excellent.
I showed up at 7:09pm to locked doors with people inside. A bit of a let down honestly...

First time trying this place. I love home type cooking and BBQ so thought this might be it. Plate of BBQ pork was very dry and stringy. Sweet sauce just ok. Red potatoes and fried apples were delicious. This was just okay for me. Would stop again, but probably just for the veggies.

Not sure what kind of mystery meat BBQ I just tried to eat, but that was awful. The sides were ok. Never going back again.
My brother usually stops some well known place near Rocky Mount for BBQ, so today I stopped at Porky's claiming it was likely better. Nope. Sides were great, but the main event, bbq, was bad. Sauce was worse! Some sweet catsup crud. Not NC style not SC style. Yuck. Fried chicken was OK. Hushpuppies were unforgivably dry. A lot of great bbq in NC. Not here. Stick to chicken, mac&cheese and green beans!
BEST food I've had in Williamston ! Staff is happy to see everyone. The plastic ware is the ONLY draw back.Vegetarian options: I LOVE the lima and green beans !!

I wanted a home cooked meal and not fast food. I was really anticipating a good meal because it is usually very good. I got two plates because I wanted to take a plate back home for the next day. The pot roast wasn't beef it tasted like pork, the BBQ tasted like chitterlings was mixed in it and the brisket was mainly fat. I was very disappointed and the brisket plate was $22.99 alone! I'm just very disappointed how many of these businesses are charging astronomical prices for substandard services. Honestly if the food is good quality people will pay and won't gripe about the price if they feel like they got what they paid for. So basically the price of the brisket plate was the same price of the buffet and it was take out. I really wish I took a picture of the food but I was so disappointed that I trashed it because I couldn't eat all that fat. And if food is being passed off as something it truly isn't that's a concern because some people have certain allergies or beliefs that keep them from eating certain things. So I hope that's not the situation and I can't confirm totally but I know what certain things taste like and I'm just saying it didn't match my taste buds.. I get it that EVERYTHING has increased in cost but please don't cut corners to save money because people will know and instead of saving money businesses will lose money because customers won't patronize.
