I finally got to try the Pik N Pig this weekend when I was in the area visiting family. Â They've been talking about it for quite a while. Â We called in an order of 4 bbq plates, and when we went to pick it up, I was totally bummed out that we weren't eating there! Â The atmosphere of the place is great. Â Right before we got there, I laughed at the "Low Flying Planes" sign, then, low and behold a plane flew right in front of us and nearly scared me to death. Â There is a landing strip adjacent to the Pik N Pig. Â The restaurant is actually an old post office, and they still have some of the original decor inside. Â I loved it. Â Plus they have a huge, covered, outside sitting area with fans, where you can watch the planes come and go. Â
For lunch, I had the pork, cole slaw, fries, and corn muffin. Â The pork was really good, coarsely chopped and moist. Â Their bbq sauce was pretty good. Â We actually got extra because we all like our bbq spicy and saucy. Â Kudos on the jalapeno butter for the corn muffin! Â The slaw was very fresh, but it was mayo based, which is not my preference, but it was otherwise good, and the fries were fries. Â I can't wait to actually eat in and try their chicken or ribs. Â I hear they are just as good or even better!
This place is great! I had the pulled pork plate that was delicious, son had pp&j and other son had a hot dog that he absolutely loved!
By far the best feature was that they left a whole pitcher of tea on the table so I could refill my own glass! That right there is an indication that they are isolated from the Yankee influence plaguing the urban areas around here!
The airstrip and P-40 replica were icing on the cake!
