Pig Iron Bbq

Worst service ever.

by tektronix at Citysearch

I have been going to Pig Iron for years and I am finally fed up with the place. I am telling you-- their service is the WORST in town. The wait staff are always rude and the food takes way way too long.

I don't know why they keep all these ill-mannered servers on the payroll. Why? My server last night insulted me for no reason and then 'forgot' our table to flirt with a chubby brunette for ten minutes. Geez. Then our food took 40 minutes to come out and he wound up getting my order wrong.

I wish I could say this was the first time I have had service this bad at Pig Iron, but no I can't! Please don't go there. Hoggy's is just as good and they actually know how to treat a customer right.

• Pros: Halfway decent food.
• Cons: Awful service.

Always Enjoyable.

I like it. The bar is small but intimate. Bartender is always in a good mood and serves you very quickly.

Even though it's a bbq joint, being owned by old bag of nails, I like to order the fish platter. I am always satisfied with the food, and it is more than a generous portion.

I have had the pulled pork which is excellent. Ignore the other review about the bad ribs, the ribs are great.

ENJOY!

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Small bar

Tasteless BBQ if you can call it that,

Just went to this place because of a half price coupon I got. Well, we went on a friday evening and was seated promptly. Drink order was taken quickly and recieved quickly. We ordered chicken wing appetizer. We then ordered two BBQ samplers, I ordered 1/2 slab of smoked ribs and 1/2 chicken with baked beans and mac & cheese. He ordered 1/2 slab of baby back ribs and pulled pork with coleslaw and steak fries. Ok, so the wings came and they looked like someone had allready eaten off of them. We questioned this and was told that they all look this way. We tried them and they were very dry and crunchy. The sauce was OK. Our main order came and we dug right in cause it looked very good. BAD decision. The food was not seasoned at all. His ribs were an odd color of beige. My ribs looked so good but the sauce had no taste at all. The chicken was also lacking in the taste department. His pulled pork was burnt and needed a ton of hot sauce to even make it edible. Normally we will clean our plates but we just asked for a box and packed it up for our dog. The price tag even after the discount half price coupon came to $32.00 Please save yourself and go somewhere else. Save your money and your stomach.

• Pros: Seated quickly
• Cons: Food lacks taste

amazing pulled pork barbecue

by jmbrow at Citysearch

first, i never take the time to write reviews, but the record needs to be set straight. i'm a barbecue fanatic, and the pig iron has consistently the best pulled pork i've had in my entire life. I've eaten barbecue around the entire United States, and the pig iron can not be beat for their pulled pork. The restaurants ribs and brisket are ok, but the pulled pork is off of the charts. Although the service i've experienced has been good, I could give a sh*t because the pulled pork is so good. I also like the homemade BBQ sauce.

• Pros: pulled pork barbecue
• Cons: non

Below average food, worse service

BBQ expert. Been in many competitions, and own my own smoker. First visit on a Saturday mid-afternoon...not busy at all. Seated promptly, but then waited for 10 minutes before we where greeted, and ordered our crab cake appietizer, and drinks. Waited another 10 minutes before before the waiter returned to take our meal order. I got a brisket sandwhich, and she got a pulled pork sandwhich. We then waited another 10 minutes before someone other than our server brought the crabcakes. The crabcakes were dry and room tempature. It was obvious they were "sitting" somewhere for a while. Another 15 minutes had passed, when again, someone other than our server (and the other guy) brought out our meals. The cole slaw and pickles were warm, and both our sandwhiches were luke room. It was obvious they had sat under the heat lamps for some time. The brisket was so dry, it had to be drowned in sauce to get down. Her pork was so fatty, she had to pick off over half of it...it was the worst pulled pork Ive ever seen or tasted. We also had to wait for an inordinate amount of time for refills. There was a coulpe seated behind us, who had came in 10 minutes after use, and was able to leave 15 minutes before us. Add the fact that they are sort of pricey, I cant recommend this place. Take your money to Hoggy's or City BBQ for MUCH better que.

• Pros: Authentic BBQ joint decor
• Cons: bad food, worse service, high prices
