Little Pigs BBQ At Surfside

Tried this for the first time and it will be the last. Ordered a rack of ribs. They were supposed to be baby back which are a smaller / leaner rib more tender ribs. These were big ribs that still had the membrane on them. Half of the order was still edible where you can cut in between the ribs. The other half was a hunk of something. The ribs were not well defined and the meat did not taste the same. I left a message asking for a partial refund and no one bothered to call me back. We also ordered the mac and cheese. It was watery and hardly had cheese. Worst BBQ in Myrtle Beach and over priced! Pictures speak louder than words. You be the judge.

We ate here yesterday, and this was a major disappointment based on food quality and execution.
I own and operate a BBQ business, so I don’t say this lightly—the brisket was inexcusable. It was badly overcooked, sliced with the grain, and dry and tough throughout. There was no proper fat render, no tenderness, and no balance—just chewy, stringy meat that was unpleasant to eat. These are basic brisket fundamentals that should never be missed in a BBQ operation. What made it even more frustrating was that what we were served looked nothing like the brisket shown on their website. The difference between the advertised photos and the actual plate was drastic.
The chicken was dry, even with sauce. The pulled pork came in a large portion, but the meat itself was dry; the sauce helped somewhat, though the minimal amount of slaw wasn’t enough to balance it out.
The sides showed the same lack of care. The baked mac and cheese, while southern-style, was underseasoned and bland. The green beans tasted straight out of a can, the baked beans were forgettable, and the sweet potato crunch was odd and uninspired. The banana pudding was fine—but nothing memorable.
Credit where it’s due: the sauces were solid. The sweet Jimmy Ray’s and the vinegar sauce were both well done. The sweet tea was also excellent—fresh brewed and properly sweetened.
BBQ lives and dies on fundamentals and execution, and this missed the mark across the board. You only get one chance to make a first impression. This one failed. One and done.

Best BBQ in Myrtle Beach!
Pulled pork, brisket, and ribs are all exceptional. Potato salad is great too.

I felt that the BBQ was nothing to get excited about. To me, it didn't have much flavor even with the sauce. I will say, they gave you a good amount of meat and the BBQ beans were excellent. Probably the best I've had lately.
I do feel it was slightly overpriced but maybe, there was a breakdown in communication. They definitely are out for extra money since the did away with the self serve soda machine. Cans of beverage are a little pricey too.
It will be awhile before a give them another chance.

I can’t believe that I’ve lived 7 miles from here and never ate at this restaurant. It was excellent BBQ pork sandwich and my husband had the brisket, baked beans and Mac& cheese which he loved . We now have a favorite BBQ restaurant. The portion on my sandwich was enough to take half of it to go for another sandwich later.

I doordashed an order, it was OK, the stew tastes like barbecue and tomato sauce mixed together, not really that great, the macaroni and cheese was super oily and curdly and it all around was trash. The ribs were great, shredded chicken was dry. Probably wouldn’t do it twice 🫶🏻

Very first bbq recommended I get 21 years ago and still coming. Have bigger sammies & better prices hands down than anywhere else. Thanks y'all for 21 years of consistently good food. Fire...🔥

Used to love this place. Super disappointing this time. Dry ribs (day olds or more ) dry brisket (fatty) Mac and cheese was okay, but cup wasn't even filled so portion was short. Their secret sauce is awesome as always and baked beans were awesome. I've been looking forward to this for days and it was a bummer...
UPDATE:
gave service 5 stars. Owner reached out and refunded me. Much appreciated and will be back. Thank you!

I love this place because the sides are awesome. Something has changed now. I just got potato salad straight from a carton. That was not a good change. Your potato salad was the best.

Picked up two sandwiches on my way to the airport so I had food for the wait and flight. Tried a few different sauces they had on tap. Delicious food and friendly wait staff. They had old twilight zone episodes playing. I'd love to have been able to sit inside and enjoy the atmosphere

My husband and I just left there. The food was so good. He got a pork plate and I got the chicken tender sandwich basket. The plate comes with 2 sides and a drink. The basket comes with 1 side and a drink. Pricing was very reasonable. We're definitely coming again !!!
