The Proper Pig Smokehouse

guys at the front were real nice. but the food just unfortunately completely missed the mark. i like barbecue to be made with soul, from the heart, and with some nice big portions. i feel like the $12 for the sandwich just wasn’t worth it for me.

The atmosphere is great, the selection is great and so was everyone there. The brisket, ribs, the pulled pork and the smoked turkey were all delicious. The brisket nachos were awesome as well. Definitely looking forward to going back.

Food was pretty good. Wish they had more sauces. Mac and cheese wasn’t that great but the brisket and pulled pork were good

For what we paid, we felt pretty disappointed. Sort of a rip. Small portions, and the brisket was a bit dry. The 2-meat one side was $18, and the sandwich one was $12. Meh. :(

Really good bbq and value. The sides have gotten a lot better over time and are really shine. Love the brand and Mac.

I have tried most of the stuff on the menu through DoorDash a few times to make sure I wasn’t getting it wrong and either the reviews that they have up here that are positive or fake or the people just don’t know good food because it is got to be the worst barbecue I’ve ever tasted in my entire life The sauce is terrible. The ribs are terrible. The baked beans are awful, and the potato salad has got to be the worst potato salad I’ve ever tasted. They would be better off buying it from the grocery store and just putting it in containers. I can’t say much for the atmosphere or the service because I’ve never actually been in the restaurant all the DoorDash

The bbq sauce tasted like vinegar based and I stupidly put it on all my food before tasting it and it ruined my entire meal

Oh man I wish this was a good review. I haven't eaten at the Proper Pig in nearly a year but I love to support small businesses. What happened to your food guys?! The smoked turkey was dry and the brisket was 75% fat. Yes I know brisket has fat for flavor but there was hardly any meat. $3 for a side of Mac and Cheese that is 2 tablespoons worth? I measured it because it was smaller than a child's portion. Is this your shrinkflation? And finally the potato salad. Which for some reason seemed to include horseradish (maybe)? I used to love the potato salad you served. $48 for food that is worse than fast food. I loved eating here in the past but this was my last time.

The brisket was very good. The turkey and pulled pork were dry and bland. Their BBQ sauce is good.

Been there, done that, went back. A friend from Texas and I had food there the other day cuz he's from Texas and he likes barbecue and I figured out why I don't go there more often. Sometimes I don't even go out to eat until well after they're closed.

Next time I'm looking for food earlier in the evening I'm going to go back. Not much on side dishes, not the cheapest place in town to drink but damn their smoked chicken breast is so tender.

And I will say I've never been a fan of corned beef but if theirs is anything like the pictures on the monitor. I have to go back on a Thursday.

Oh, duh, my friend from Texas likes their brisket.

A small BBQ spot with huge taste & flavor. Very affordable and worth every penny spent.

I highly recommend if you are in the area that you stop here for some really good food.
The bartender was friendly and the service was fast.
We had pulled pork and turkey sandwiches.
The food is amazing
