The food is excellent and the staff is simply the best around anywhere. Our favorite place to dine out!

Head’s up! We just tried stopping here (Sun 12/28/25 11:30am) and it’s not open with a “Help Wanted!!!” sign taped to the door. Hope they get some help soon- we were looking forward to trying it!

Always good food I love me some beef brisket they have the best BBQ sauce in my opinion I also love the ribs and the pulled pork but you got to get here fast most days because it'll be packed and no run out
Update as all restaurants do the food starts going downhill the brisket is more like a roast and tuff/dry

We arrived to have lunch at the spotted pig on Sunday ready to dine on the wonders of the other white meat, but x couriously they were out of pork. I asked if this was the spotted pig because you would think a place with pig in its name would actually have pig, but I was wrong. Bon appetit!

Mine was a to go order. I ordered the sampler, a side of corn nuggets, and a side of sweet potatoes. The pork butt was good. The ribs, brisket, and chicken tated like lighter fluid or gas had permeated the meat. Do not waste your money!!!

We love The Spotted Pig! The pulled pork is always a great choice — tender, never dry, and full of that perfect smoky flavor. The sides are delicious, and the hush puppies are absolutely amazing. They stay busy on the days they’re open, but that just shows how popular and well-loved this small business is. Highly recommend!

First time here. Sundays are one of there busiest days so some of the favorite items were sold out. Friendly service. Good people. Double D sandwich was huge and really good. Brisket was really moist, baked brand and Mac n Cheese were good.

Amazing!!! I had the chicken tenders and I kid you not..the BEST chicken tenders I have ever eaten in my life. So juicy and tender on the inside and super crispy and delicious seasoning on the outside! So sad I’m not from NC because I would be hitting this spot up all the time 😭 oh! I also had the Mac and cheese- also super delicious!

So for the third time, after visiting family and friends, we swung by the spotted pig craving for some brisket and ribs. I'm disappointed to say it was not to my liking like my previous two visits. I ended up getting the sampler and the chicken was dry. The pulled pork was dry and the ribs were very tiny and burnt with barely any meat on them. The brisket was decent but my previous visit is what wowed me about the spotted pig. I don't know what happened in the past 8 months since our last visit but I am not able to give this restaurant four or five stars. As far as service, the waitress was polite and checked on us periodically, the atmosphere was a little dull, barely any people. I do hope that they can make a change and improve on the quality of the food cuz I do miss that smoke barbecue flavor taste that at first was accustomed to.

I wondered why my friend never recommended this restaurant. Sat down on the back patio and it was so nice! Great atmosphere, lovely service. I was shocked as to why. I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of mac n cheese and Brunswick stew

The sides were great. Great Mac n cheese, great Brunswick stew.

What was disappointing was the brisket. Brisket is supposed to be so flavorful, and this was flat out bland and flavorless. Honestly the worst brisket of my life by a country mile. It wasn’t inedible… it was just very flavorless. Flat out needing the BBQ sauce at the table in order to provide semblance of flavor. I will definitely be ordering something else should I go again, however if you’re looking for top tier brisket, this is unfortunately not the place. I would be willing to try again though, because service, staff, and atmosphere were top notch!

We ordered pick up.

Ribs = dry and very salty
Mac n Cheese = had an unidentifiable strong season in it that was not complimentary to the dish
Pulled Pork = not too bad, but dry
Potato salad = awful; tasted like plain red potatoes with no flavor
Corn Bites = pretty good

Cheese cake = not at all worth the $$

We drove out of our way to eat here, but won't make that mistake again.
