Great Bbq, Brisket, and mac n cheese! Very friendly staff, and reasonably priced with an "at home" atmosphere. 10/10 recommend!
Food was great, service was good. Usual decor for a BBQ place. Keep an eye out for daily specials (awesome) which are not posted.
Nice relaxing atmosphere. Very good service. Ribs were fall off the bone with a mild rub. The 3 sauces at the table enhanced the flavor. I would give 5 stars but the I could only taste the brown sugar in the sweet potato mash. Besides that disappointment everything else was delicious.
I love the spotted pig! This place offers delicious bbq and sides. They offer several different sauce options, so everyone can find one they like. The restaurant used to have two locations- one in FairPlay and one in Clayton, GA. However the one is Clayton appears to have closed recently. The biggest star of the show at this restaurant their bbq eggrolls- which they often sell out of. That's the only downfall of this place is that you have to visit early to ensure you have access to their full menu. Service is a bit of a hit or miss- but the food is worth it.
We were camping at Lake Hartwell State Park and this spot is located up the road. About average BBQ, nothing earth shattering. I gave an extra star because service was excellent, the local craft beer choices are excellent and the venue is very cool. But as far as actual BBQ, meh - I wouldn't rush back. Sliced brisket - I ordered fatty cut. Nope, got regular cut. It had a deep smoke flavor, which was a great flavor - no bark at all, bummer. The brisket was on the juicier side, but seriously, I asked for fatty cut - I wanted fatty cut. I thought she understood, oh well. Ribs. Touted as their specialty. These were above average, juicy with a deep smoke flavor. Very good. My wife ordered the pulled pork, she like it and said the home made potato salad was great. Mac-n-cheese - white cheddar, creamy as very good. Corn nuggets, skip - no flavor, very underwhelming. Also, what is up with their tiny portion of side dishes? Serously, eight corn nuggets? Is that Mac-n-cheese served in dressing bowl???? No value there, we got sides with our plates -- but if I paid $5 for a side and it came out in this portion, I would be very UN-happy (see pic). I am not sure we would go back, the locals in the joint were having seafood and that looked fabulous. Oh well, win some loose some.
The place has a laid back family feel. The waitress was sweet and attentive. The food...AMAZING!!! The best most tender brisket I've ever had!
My favorite BBQ of all time!!! Can't go wrong here, also love their mustard based bbq sauce! I will literally drive out of the way to eat here! Highly Recommend!
We ate here Sunday, food is good. Price wasn't bad. They had beer and bbq. They were out of chicken fingers for my youngest but he was okay with a grilled cheese. We waited 35 minutes to be seated, there was open tables everywhere so I guess it's just lack of food is why. Then it took another 30 minutes to get food. My daughter didn't like the very Smokey flavor of the meat, and my husband I want to note got the worst heartburn of his life. I'm giving 4 stars due to the wait. The heartburn is only a personal issue. But he wanted me to note he can't eat the bbq here again.
One of t he best BBQ restaurants I have ate at. Food is on point. Excellent smoke flavor and everything thing is tender. Sides are awesome. I personally didn't care for the pork egg rolls. But everything else was superb including the staff. Kaylee was awesome as our waitress.
Found this place by accident and sooo happy we did!! We were on our way to Gorges State Park for a hike and decided to get lunch to go. Pork sandwich was moist and delicious. The fries were very flavorful and crispy. Baked beans were sweet with big bacon chunks that added saltiness to it. Brisket was fall off apart delicious. Mac and cheese was some of the best I've had, each pasta had cheese coating it. The corn pudding had a sweet taste and it was delicious. We got the spicy sauce and was pleasantly surprised that it was ketchup based instead of vinegar! Had a nice kick to it offset by hint of sweetness. We are definitely planning to stop in again and dine on the outdoor patio. It's not surprising that as we were leaving they got very busy, some good que!
