The wait staff was unable to come to the window to take my order. I attempted to call them at the ordering counter. There was no reply but I could hear the employees talking loudly in the kitchen Went back to my table. I saw a person come in and pick up an order. I walked up after she picked her order up. I asked what kind of drinks they had on happy hour. He told me as there is nothing printed to determine what beverages they have. I gave him my order and I said I need to get my purse. He said I only had 3 minutes to order on happy hour. I had attempted to order for 10 minutes and could not get my order by due to their delays. I ordered nothing and left. I will not go back their read more

Awesome bbq. Portions are big and the staff is really nice. They seem to run out of popular items pretty early though. Came at 5pm and they were out of the ribs already. read more

Best food that I have experienced in Tumwater. The environment is welcoming. Order at the window, take a seat, food is brought to you. Pretty big menu for a BBQ place. We ordered a 2 meat plate, brisket, pulled pork. Sides were Mac and slaw. Also ordered side of fries and pulled pork Mac for the kids. The slaw was bright, acidic, tangy and fresh. The Mac had thick bechamel type cheese sauce with curly hollow noodles. Cavatappi or cellentani type noodles. Brisket was chopped, I prefer sliced but chopped is fine. Good smoke flavor. Pulled pork was pretty moist, good smoke flavor. Had a couple of beers on draft I think they got our beer wrong, I ordered 7seas Pils which I've had many times and the beer we received was not that. The French fries seemed hand cut but I'm not positive. Looked like the real thing, someone cared about these fries. But the beer was fine I didn't complain I drank it, it's beer whatever. The food was good, on time, hot, 60$ after tip fed my wife and I and our young kids. Fair price for BBQ. I will visit this establishment again and I highly recommend it. I saw a dude eating smoked links that looked awesome I'm going to get those next time. The environment is clean, welcoming and crisp and it's not tightly packed, it's open with big tables. read more

Good food and especially like the bbq sauce choices. They give a good amount of meat too. Friendly staff read more

We're just passing through on our way from LA to Seattle and stopped for a meal that doesn't offer a drive through window. My husband is from NC, I'm a chef, and my daughter is picky. We really loved our food. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. I loved the brisket, pulled pork and red potato salad. I wasn't a fan of the beans - but you might be. If we pass through again, we will definitely stop by for some fantastic (authentic) bbq. read more

Flaming Pig BBQ - Pulled Pork - Food Trucks Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

Hands down the BEST BBQ around!!! By mistake we went to this place. We thought it was the one with the giant pig on the side of the highway (on the way to my parents beach house) instead it was the in the wrong direction on I5. We debated about going there. A bit out of the way, but man, was it worth it! We started with the cheddar/jalapeño biscuits they weren't too spicy but oh so flavorful. Then we moved on to the sides. We ordered the macncheese which was super tasty, the potato salad which was delicious and the baked beans. The whole ride back, I was perusing the menu. And I was thinking who would think that adding pulled pork to beans was a good idea? Let me tell you, it made the dish! Not spicy, the right amount of kick. They were my absolute favorite!!! Finally we had ordered 2 sandwiches, the pulled pork w/ slaw and their sweet BBQ sauce and the brisket with their spicy sauce. They were both outstanding!!! You can't go wrong with this place. We are already planning our next trip to the beach! read more

We went here on Saturday for lunch. I have to say this place has the best bbq around. I had the pulled pork sandwich. I was so shocked and surprised how fantastic it was. Moist but not dripping just enough sauce, not to much where it's dripping down your hand and makes a mess. What I loved about the flavor is he doesn't over smoke his meat or add liquid smoke that some places do . This is legit bbq. My husband had the lilpiglet and the sausage on that sandwich was amazing. Best I've ever had. I'm so glad they opened a restaurant because I remember seeing there food truck and eating at it a few years ago and it was great then. This is a weekly stop for us now, so glad it's near by. Oh and the girls taking the orders and putting out the orders are so nice and so friendly. I also love how the menu is down low so you can really see it and read it clearly. Very organized. read more

They catered a dinner for us at the VFW in Olympia & the Food was Amazing!!! The meat was Fabulous!! Very well done!!

Don't place on line orders. Waited 45 minutes after time was to be done. Emptied the restaurant then worked on online order, just because we insisted . Won't be back insider or on line. Food was not warm. read more

Flaming Pig is the best BBQ that I've had...and I've had a lot of BBQ. Everything we've had is amazing. My husband is stuck on their brisket. It's sooooo good! I love their Carolina Gold on their smoked chicken but honestly....the chicken is so good that sometimes I don't add sauce. We always get an extra side of their Smoked Mac & Cheese to have with our left overs the next day. The meaty beans are delish! We've used their online ordering for the past several months. It's super easy and the curb side pick up has been safe and convenient. I like to go long distance runs on Saturday mornings and am always so excited to reward myself with the deliciousness that is Flaming Pig! read more

Best BBQ we've had in a long time, possibly the best ever, add this is coming from someone that slow smokes coffee rubbed prime brisket in his traeger for 12 hrs on a pretty regular basis. It's very rare that every single thing you get at A BBQ place is good, let alone bomb, but we got the game day special with brisket, pulled pork, chicken, with Mac and cheese and baked beans and everything was incredible. It's safe to say we've found our new favorite BBQ joint. read more

Are we in Texas or Tumwater? This place is legit. This is Tumwater's best kept secret. I was never a huge BBQ fan until I went to visit a friend in Austin, TX. He took me to Black's BBQ and one bite of the brisket changed my views on BBQ forever. On another trip to Austin, I went down to The Salt Lick which is extremely renowned. Flaming Pig is on par with those places. The brisket is always delicious with an incredible bark. The smoked chicken is moist and delicious. My wife's favorite is the pulled pork. I've had the cheddar jalapeño sausage a few times and that was great as well. Great sides too. Our favorites are the mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes, and dill potato salad. I think we've probably been here at least eight times now. It's always delicious. Great BBQ is a labor of love and a truly great BBQ is hard to find. We're just glad we found one five minutes from home. read more

Went a while back with my entire family. Ordered for 4 people at the counter. When I paid the lady at the front handed me the receipt for me to sign. I signed and handed it back she looks at it and says "WOW" because I didn't immediately put a tip on there. Remind you all she has done at this point is take our order, I guess that warrants a exasperated "WOW" when she seen there wasn't a tip yet. Well we had cash for a tip, which we planned on leaving at the end of the meal. You know like normal people do when they go to a restaurant. We tipped $12 on a 80 meal because she was super rude, but that's $92 I will never spend here again. Sucks because the food is pretty decent. read more

We catered my daughters graduation and it was great !! We got (2) party packs & a couple racks of ribs and it was off the hook !! All the meats and sides were amazing and we feed (20) people with a lot of leftovers. I shopped around and this was best value when it comes to BBQ. I'd use them again. read more

A must stop. Me and my family were on our way to Seattle University to get me settled in my dorm, but our stomachs weren't patient enough to wait the rest of our drive. This was one of the first restaurants to show up near us and we figured we'd give it a shot. Let me tell you, the smell that wafts from here as you get close is AMAZING. It smells so rich and real, it will feel like you are floating through the door like the cartoons. The pricing is really good, and there were so many options to choose from. I got the last baked potato of the day with pulled pork, and oh wow it hit the spot. The warmth soft potato was so comforting, with butter pooled at the bottom. The pork had just the right amount of sauce, it was just made perfectly. I'm so pleasantly full. Thank you for a filling meal. read more

This place is Disgusting, The food is bland and covered in hot barbecue sauce. I'm not sure why all these people left 5 start reviews because the food is awful. I wasted $19.00 , it all went in the trash. read more

Great menu! We enjoyed the whole experience. I could not think of a single improvement. Thank you for a great "date night" dinner.

We had a fantastic experience at Flaming Pig. Unfortunately we don't live nearby and will need to wait until we visit family again. We chose to go there last night because of the menu, pics, great reviews, and owners professional attention to critical reviews. And a sincere craving for BBQ. We were not disappointed. We did a large take out order 30 minutes before close. Staff was super helpful, smiling, and patient with my first time ordering. Food was prepped in less than 10 minutes. Chicken and brisket sandwiches were excellent. Ribs fell off the bone, had an awesome rub, and the kids loved them. I couldn't decide on sauce or dry because the ribs were so good either way. We did sweet sauce and Carolina sauce- entire family thought both were excellent. And the Mac and cheese is smokey- I could eat a bowl everyday. None of our food was bland or dry, and it was all hot when we got to our hotel 20 minutes later. The place was spotless as I waited. Very nice spacing and decor. And to the woman who complained about the iPad/payment set up... yes they have the exact same chip/square reader system that nearly EVERY restaurant and coffee shop have these days for payment. And it always gives option for tip or you can skip. And yes, it's near the lady taking your order because it is a HUGE counter. I didn't find anything surprising about it or the price for REAL BBQ... Can't wait to return- we are a fan of the Flaming Pig! read more

I picked up a Happy Hour Special to go for my meat-eating partner: 1 lb of Pulled Pork with a side of Green Beans. He loved it! I had some of the beans- very tender and flavorful. He said the pork was moist and nicely smoky, would choose a more pungent bbq sauce next time. And there will be a next time! read more

Amazing quality. Exceptional portions. Get there early cus they will sell out. The spicy bbq sauce is honestly the best. The mustard and Mac n Cheese are amazing as well. read more

Update*** They are still serving amazing BBQ! And now they have a brick and mortar store open consistently every week! Definitely pop by and support a great local business with awesome BBQ!*** Excellent WONDERFUL BBQ! I had the pulled pork nachos with spicy BBQ sauce and the smoky Mac and cheese, and they were both so yummy I could hardly help myself from gobbling it all down! Huge portion for a very reasonable price, and the flavors and quality were amazing. It sucks they have such a fast and loose schedule. They do well with posting their schedule Facebook, but they've been moving around with their dates and times a lot so this is the first time I was able to make it to them. But I definitely will look more closely and track them down again! It's a BBQ flavor we are sorely missing in Thurston County! read more

Love their ribs. Good brisket. Awesome brisket chili. But the best thing there is the loaded chicken sandwich.

Great! I ordered their HUGE family pack last time. It was ready on time and fed 10 adults. Check them out! You won't be disappointed.

Not impressed, the chicken lacked seasoning, very bland. I love coleslaw and this had weird taste, the only thing I enjoyed were the bbq beans. $15 for a plate I didn't enjoy at all. read more

Flaming Pig BBQ - Smoked chicken, bbq beans, dill coleslaw - Food Trucks Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

ok but not great. I popped in based on the reviews. I think there are some serious issues here. The person before me who already had their food came to the window that the fries were missing. So they fired them. Then my fries came missing too. I asked and the guy says they are still in the fryer. So why bring me my sandwich dont prep it cuz I know the meat is already cooked and serve it together. So I finally got the fries after I ate my sandwich and they were not fully cooked. Soggy and not great. The folks were nice but the food was subpar. Pork was dried out and it tasted fine but was not really great. Fries had potential but just bad. Not getting all my food at the same time really ruined it for me. Not a repeat. I expected a lot better given the reviews. That said, this can be fixed with training. Also I want to point out the staff was very nice. no complaints on service or attitude. read more

This was absolutely delicious. Definitely a real representation of good barbecue. The staff is very friendly and lively. And it looks good on the inside as well. I will say that the Mac and cheese has its good days and its bad days but overall definitely delicious read more

Always a great choice. Their food is amazing. Best bbq in the area. They close when they sell out of food. They're also not open on certain days. read more

I ordered the brisket nachos at $15.50. There was maybe a tablespoon of cheese sauce at the bottom on the paper under the chips. Chips were terrible. There was a decent quantity of brisket and the brisket was very good. But I'm not sure these guys have ever seen nachos before. You can get better nachos at a gas station. The service was great and very fast. I don't think that I'll ever go back here again. read more

Quick service and AMAZING BBQ!!! Flaming Pig BBQ is the best smoked BBQ! The new restaurant offers a fresh family safe environment and delicious food with new items. It's a great place to quickly stop on your lunch hour or swing by and pick up food for the entire family. I would recommend trying the Pig Kahuna Speciality Sandwich, it's a family favorite for us and gives you a little taste of almost everything they have to offer on one plate. If you aren't that adventurous, go for the lil piglet! A side of their delicious honey rolls are definitely recommended too! The Mac N Cheese is unbelievable. The only thing you will regret, is not trying it sooner! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! From the food truck to the restaurant, we have not been disappointed! read more

First timers and we basically ordered the menu. My husband can't decide what meat he likes, I devoured my slaw (I usually hate slaw), and frankly you don't need sauce in any of the meats, they're soooo delicious. But, if you need is suacey I highly recommend the Carolina gold. The pit master knows what they're doing. This is BBQ done right. I've been all over the states and this is the best I've had. They could go toe to toe with the pit masters down South and hold their own. read more

Flaming Pig BBQ - Chicken, pork, brisket, sausage, slaw, cheesy potatoes, red potatoes, Mac. - Food Trucks Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

Ok, I really wanted to like this place after waiting for months for it to open. Super disappointed! I ordered the ribs and potato salad. The ribs were way over seasoned with the dry rub, like biting into a thick layer of seasonings, which had an odd flavor. They were already cut into the six pieces which made them dry out. Too much gristle and white rubbery parts. Not alot of meat on them, which is funny because the front girl said they were expensive because the meat prices went up. They were not quality cuts. Then the "Potato salad" consisted of a watery white substance, a ton of dill? and rock hard potatoes. Went right in the garbage. I hope you get the kinks worked out but in the meantime, ill continue going to Centralia for my BBQ. read more

I put in an order online in the morning . when I went to pick my food up later that afternoon, they were out of the food I had already paid for. They replaced it with Mac and cheese but it was all cheese with barely any noodles. safe to say, I won't trust putting in an online order with them again. read more

$30.00-per-pound brisket had better taste extraordinary--and, meh. Good, not great. The cuts of meat are not any better than other places with lower prices and better food. BBQ actually tasted left-over from the prior day and reheated? Macaroni and cheese also was just OK. "Cheesy Party Potatoes" were represented as scalloped potatoes and turned out to be left-over bakers in the Mac and cheese sauce--good, just not WOW. Lemon and dill cole slaw was very good. A good place, but they just have to get their prices into the zone of affordability for most folks. Total of $80.00, for just-OK BBQ. You decide. read more

Ordered from here for the first time using the website. (https://www.flamingpigbbqfoodtruck.com) Ordered after 5pm and so not everything was available! Make sure you order early!!! Ordered Brisket Nachos, Smokey Mac n Cheese, Brisket Mac n cheese, potato salad and the cheddar cheese cornbread muffins. The brisket nachos are a good idea, however the chips were a little soggy from the brisket. The brisket Mac n cheese was delicious. The meat was moist and tender. It had good flavor! The Mac n cheese itself was good for being a bbq place. It isn't all that cheesy, but is definitely creamy. The bacon in the Smokey Mac was just enough to give it a good flavor without being over powered. The cornbread muffins were delicious. Good hint of jalapeño in it! They were not dry at all! The potato salad had a bit of dill in it, which can be a little too much for someone who isn't used to dill. read more

So coming from Texas this by far the best BBQ I've had to date! Brisket was juicy! Pulled pork was amazing! The Max and cheese was so delicious!

Delicious!!!! We were blessed with perfect weather when we visited Flaming Pig BBQ. We enjoyed an assortment of meats and sauces. Meat was tender and flavorful and we didn't wait long to get it. Friendly and informative customer service! read more

The nachos were disappointing, just chips, meat and cheese...but what about sliced olives or jalapeños, scallions, or fresh diced tomatoes...something a little more nacho-like. The smoked chicken on it was good though and the portion was good size. But probably won't order it again. Our Other order was the the Pig sandwich which was enjoyed, actually practically inhaled. We will go back. read more

Overpriced for the amount of food I got. It was tasty though. I've never been to a BBQ place that had a higher price for chicken or beef choices over pork. read more
