Drove through while on a road trip and everything was phenomenal. Mustard BBQ sauce at its finest, sweet tea, pulled pork and brisket. A SC legacy and delicacy finished off with a generous banana pudding made for sharing. Thanks Maurice.

Friday night about 8, driving from Myrtle to Greenwood, and where can we stop for dinner? It won't take me too long to find a BBQ joint that someone has recommended to me and tonight that BBQ joint is Maurice's Piggy Park. We hustled up and arrived about 45 minutes before close. The restaurant was very empty but clean.
If you've read any of my reviews… you know what I'm here for. The BBQ Pulled Pork comes in several options, there is a Big Joe or Little Joe sandwich or the Pitmaster Plate. Since I was approaching bedtime, and I didn't want to overstuff myself, I opted for the Big Joe sandwich.😉 There is also an option to make it a basket which includes fries, slaw and hushpuppies, but it was getting late. Unfortunately they had already broken down the machine for the evening so there wasn't any sweet tea available. I guess that's the price I paid for coming late.
The Big Joe BBQ sandwich came on a nice large brioche bun, and was piled high with BBQ. The pork has a definite golden color to it, but it didn't taste like mustard sauce. I couldn't find any bark or smokiness to the BBQ. The flavor was very mild but I found some good sauce to smother it with. I sampled their Vinegar BBQ and Hickory Red BBQ sauces and both were good. I decided to stray from my normal vinegar and went with the Hickory Red. I really liked the flavor of this sauce.
Overall, Piggy Park BBQ is somewhere around the middle of the road for fast food BBQ. (Is that an oxymoron?) Don't set your sights too high and you will not be disappointed. But then again if it's late night BBQ you crave… this could be a home run.

I love Piggy Park was raised on it but live out of town now. Everything was good I gave it a 4 because it is pricey. Guess maybe I was still expecting a Little Joe for a buck fifty

Have been eating here for years! Big Joe basket is the way to go. Great sandwich and some of the best fries around. Pricey though!

I had a brisket sandwich and it was to die for. Reasonably priced and food was hot and delicious. The woman who took our order was very friendly and accommodating. We had our two dogs with us so we ate out at the picnic table under a tree. French fries were hot and freshly made. Cole slaw was delicious too

Not a fan of South Carolina mustard style BBQ sauce and the pulled pork is not made any other way.. brisket was pretty good.. probably wouldn't go back though.

This is the ONLY place that makes brisket the way I like it and how it's made on Texas. The staff is always amazingly nice and helpful. I try to go at least once a week, it's just that good.
