Van's Pig Stands Reviews
$55 for two people - called in a to go order and they didn’t send any utensils. We’re not apologetic in the least. We are from out of town and are visiting here on business. We are at a county fairgrounds and can’t even taste our food. I’m so upset. $55 -absolutely zero reason to not include silverware.
Usually Van’s is great. Ordered hamburgers for lunch today for my mom and me. Ordered them with everything except miracle whip. They arrived with ONLY miracle whip. For what they cost that is unacceptable.
Can’t recommend Van’s this time. Made a special trip to Van’s for two take out orders expecting a great meal while watching the Thunder game. Ribs were dry as if they had been sitting under the lamp pre-cut. They were cut off at the top joint, so not even full sized ribs, not very meaty and some burned too hard to even eat. It’s happened before but thought it was a fluke and didn’t want to review then. But, this time I had to. So disappointing. Two times is unacceptable.

Van's Pig Stands is a popular restaurant known for its BBQ, especially pulled pork and chopped brisket, which many find delicious. While some mention that the food can be a bit pricey, the quality and taste often make it worth it. The ribs are generally enjoyed, though some prefer a different cut, and the sauce is highly appreciated. The sides, including beans and mac and cheese, are flavorful, with some customers noting that the sides may look simple but taste great.
The restaurant is praised for its friendly and attentive service. Staff members often check on guests and go out of their way to make special occasions memorable, such as bringing extra desserts or little extras. One customer highlighted the kindness of the staff and their effort in making a wedding anniversary celebration special.
However, there are some inconsistencies with brisket, which some find dry or tough, despite previously enjoying it in the past. In general, the experience is positive, with fast service and a comfortable environment. Many recommend trying the mac and cheese as a side and appreciate the overall quality of the meal. The staff, especially those who explain menu options and assist with purchases, receive high praise for their professionalism and friendliness.
