This is the best BBQ I've found in the upstate. Yes, there are other places, but this new, super clean, spot cooks everything perfectly; like every side is as good as the BBQ. Plus the ribs come un-sauced, with tons of sauce options, which makes the experience even better. The ribs blew my wife and I's minds. 10/10,

I'd gotten lunch a couple of times, and it was good. I went for dinner and again the food was good but the portions were so small and 2 dinners and drinks were $46.00, served in Styrofoam containers. I wasn't near full from the meal, even my wife who always has leftovers ate all of hers. I feel for the money I paid and small portions it's not worth it for me.

New barbeque place. Menu is a choice of 4 or 5 types of BBQ meat with sides and dessert of your choice. Good variety. Good portions. I had chopped pork. It had a little too much fat in it for my taste. Every other bite was fatty. My companions had ribs and they liked them. The atmosphere was basic order at counter and they deliver to the table. We were asked if we needed anything several times.

We visited this restaurant with 10 senior adults from an Assisted Living Facility in Greenville. The service was outstanding, the staff was very accommodating to our every need. And the food was superb! The pulled pork was simply the most tender and most delicious! Definitely a place I’ll go back again and again! Kudos to The Porkette in Pickens, SC

Good prices. Large portions. Friendly staff. The food tasted great; the fried corn-on-the-cob and collard greens were particularly good. We'll definitely be visiting again.

I visited the Porkette (Parkette?) for lunch and to experience local barbecue. I wasn't disappointed with my food choices (ribs and buffalo wings), and I look forward to trying the pulled pork. The portions were good and the price was reasonable. The young lady at the counter exhibited excellent customer service and kudos to the gentleman behind the window who convinced me to try the wings (I literally never order buffalo wings). I encourage local dining, and this place as one of the choices.

Good food and awesome people are much better than parkette. The chicken dumplings was not what I expected. It was good, but it was more like a biscuit in chicken and vegetable soup. Bowl on bottom right next to banana pudding.

The food was absolutely delicious. $15 for a lunch plate meal, but with the amount of food you’re given, it’s very much worth every bit. I ordered the brisket sub they have with squash casserole and macaroni and cheese and with a choice of desert. Very good food and friendly staff!

Outstanding! Especially the ribs. We took an order "to go" to share with family for dinner. The owner made some nice recommendations and we were all really pleased. The seasoning was great and we each commented a couple times how much we enjoyed it over dinner. Thank you! We'll be back.
