Our favorite so far since moving to Washington 3 years ago from Texas. We know our BBQ. I understand they have a new owner now but definitely would recommend especially if in the Olympia/Tumwater area. read more

Enjoyed the sides. Mac and cheese and beans were tasty. But the ribs were dry. BBQ sauce was good though so I drowned them in it to help but still a bit disappointing. read more

The food was great, and the ONE person working there did the best he could to serve everyone to the best of his ability, but I can't give the place a "5" because the service could definitely be improved. read more

Tasty BBQ flavors!! This is a must stop for travelers and locals! I had a rib and pulled pork plate with Smokey Mac and cheese and garlic green beans. The ribs had an amazing sweet taste and you can add spicy bbq sauce if wished. I put the Caroline Gold sauce on my pulled pork, super good/ great match! Kids had pulled pork sandwiches one with Mac and cheese and the other with lime coleslaw, both enjoyed their food! My hubs had the brisket with M&C and he was pleased too! The Flaming Pig team is very CoVID conscious and we had a great time eating on the patio before our travels. We will return!! read more

The 1st time we tried this place had a bump in the road and was a little sad it wasn't what we hoped for....the brisket had to.much fat, chicken wasn't great and didn't feel like the amount was right....but thats over with and now...... Round 2: Wow what a huge improvement! We like to give business a 2nd chance especially family owned because i was raised with family owned restaurants...the brisket was crispy and tender, chicken was so moist, the owner put nacho fixings on the side to prevent them from being soggy and of course that mac & cheese got that smokey smoke!!! The owners saw how it was 1st time and asked us to come back and im so glad we did...very professional, friendly and just down to earth!!! Please go and support these awesome folks read more

Food was fantastic. Not shown is the roll that i ate very quickly. It was tasty. The sweet bbq and carolina sauces were very good as well. Complimented the brisket nicely. $17 so I cant go there for lunch as often as I would like, but definitely going to be back a bunch. My new favorite bbq spot in Olympia area. read more

Flaming Pig BBQ - Brisket. Mac & Cheese. Baked Beans. - Food Trucks Near Me - Tumwater, Washington

Don't go. Employees treat you like garbage, especially if you dont tip. It isn't clean. "Everything made in house." What a joke. The owner doesn't do anything besides moan around. Prices are insane. Don't understand how they won Best of South Soun, when others are much better in lots of ways. It's not worth even trying if you're in the area or new to Tumwater. read more

Delicious bar-b-queen chicken. And the coconut pie is dreamy!!! I'll be going back soon!

I ordered 10lbs of pulled pork, chicken and brisket for my daughters graduation party on Father's Day. It was ready on time and even waited for us to arrive to pick it up (my son and niece were late picking it up). Brought it home and was still hot. Everyone at the party ate it and had nothing but good things to say about the food and asked where I got it from. Mrs. Sadie Hill was great in her communications. I contacted several places and they took a while to respond, Mrs. Hill was quick and that's what earned my business. My son graduates in 3 years and I will be back for the food from them again. Thank you very much Flaming Pig for doing a great job!!! read more

Let's start with the good. The brisket is heavenly. Fatty, moist, the connective tissue cooked into yummyness. And awsome bark. Good sized serving also. Now I am going to offend all of you. The difference between real Q and white people bbq is collard greens. But you could tell from the strip mall. Next, the French fries are seriosly undercooked and single cooked as well. The smoky mac and cheese wasn't smoky and was described as gritty or mealy from to much flour and not enough cheese. It was very orange though. The pulled pork was pretty good. The sauces are good, watch out for the hot. It is. So thats five stars for the brisket AND good service with friendly people. Minus one for lack of collard greens, minus one for two bad sides on one order. And I will let the good pulled pork ballance the strip mall aesthetic. But really good brisket. I bet the burnt pork its are terrific too. read more

This was by far the best bbq I have ever had. Delicious brisket , melt in your mouth, so very good! The Mac n cheese was out of this world! I highly recommend this place!! read more

We wanted to try this new place since we saw that it was the closest to house. Turns out, the ribs were some of the best we have ever had. The meat was cooked to perfection and the sauce was very unique. We ordered online and it was ready when we got there. We will be back! read more

I've been eye balling this place since they first put a sign in the window. So glad they finally opened up the location. The food was great! And Good size portions! Glad to have a new option close to home. read more

This place, and the people who own/operate it are great. Friendly, responsive, and the food is really good. We will be regulars at this spot, for sure! Pro tip: order early online, or over the phone, for a scheduled pick-up. They sometimes sell-out of some items. (Not that you can go wrong with any second choice!) read more

Best barbecue I've had in the area. The mac & cheese with pulled pork/pulled chicken is incredible! I highly recommend. Love to go in and see photos of the owners family on wall, everyone's so kind, such an at home vibe. Feels like I'm my families! read more

The brisket is very tender and smoky. I also recommend the macaroni and cheese. Great spot for bbq!

I always seem to get the same thing but it never disappoints. Love the pig sandwich and coleslaw. You should definitely give them a try!

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and I was disappointed when I tried the brisket. Every single piece of brisket was nothing but fat. The pulled pork was amazing and so was the baked beans. read more

We ordered the family meal, which is a lot of food! More than enough for 3 adults and 2 kids. Pulled pork, smoked chicken, and brisket, plus 2 sides. We got the Mac and cheese and loaded potatoes. All of it was really good! My only complaint was they forgot our BBQ sauce (we got it to go and we're already 25 mins away) and more than 6 Hawaiian rolls are needed for the amount of meat. read more

Best bbq in Thurston county! Always fresh and flavorful, I'm very fond of their pulled pork sandwich & baked beans. read more

HOLY COW! the pulled pork sandwich is amazing....nice smoke, tender and juicy. Portion is perfect. 2nd time I've had this sandwich, I like mine with slaw, pickles, onions and Carolina gold... read more

Great BBQ, sauces, and people! I find the family meal is best value! I can feed family for a day or three!

Simply amazing BBQ! The ribs are perfectly smoked and have plenty of lean meat on the bones, and the perfect dry rub. The sauces are also simply the best. I have tried every BBQ place in our area over the years, and Flaming Pig is by far and away the very best of the best. Nothing else even compares. read more

First time here and ordered the family dinner special (3 meats) w 2 sides and ribs. When I went to pick up they had given my order to someone else - it was an honest mistake, they made another order right away and were super nice and apologetic. We thought everything was very good! Not only did we enjoy our food but when I checked my email, they had sent me a gift card for the trouble w the pick up...a gesture totally not expected! This is an example of a customer focused business. We look forward to returning! read more

If you love the taste of liquid smoke in everything, than this is the place for you. Also "smoked" meat with no flavor other than the meat itself. The baked beans were the only decent thing eaten from this establishment. The sauces all tasted like ketchup based, with no difference between the bold bbq sauce, and the sweet. Carolina sauce was alright, tangy dill lemon cole slaw had zero tang, zero dill flavor. It was just shredded cabbage with lemon flavor. "Smoked mac'n cheese"... One of there worst I have ever had! The liquid smoke flavor in it was so strong, I couldn't eat it. Along with no cheese flavor. Cheesy potatoes were all sour cream flavor. Not to mention the miniscule portions of meat for the price. I would expect with a $2 upcharge for brisket to receive at least the same amount as I did pulled pork. Ive never gotten a three meat platter and not been full with leftovers until today. If you want good bbq, cook it at home, don't waste money here. read more

I stop here after work often. They have the BEST baked beans I have ever had in my whole life. And I've had a lot of baked beans! Multiple types of beans, bacon and beef all in an amazing sauce. I also get their pulled pork BBQ in a cup and it is very good! read more

OMGOODNESS! The food can't be beat! The meat- pork, chicken, brisket, links and ribs are to die for! (I try to stop at food coma) I also love the sides. The folks are friendly and a tad disorganized- who cares- bbq at its best with a sauce variety! I'LL BE BACK! read more

Came here the other day with family to enjoy a meal and we even got to enjoy an auto show. The baked potato's ordered were deliciously stuffed with pork and one even topped with jalapeños. Ribs were falling off the bone good and vegetables just seasoned nicely. We had a great time enjoying our dinner and loved the fact that we could walk off our meal while seeing cool cars and trucks. Will be back! Enjoy! read more

I ordered some food ahead of time for a small party and I couldn't have been happier with the results. First of all, the owners were super accommodating and even agreed to let me pick up my order on Saturday when they are closed. When I arrived, everything was nicely packaged up and ready to go. Now, the best part....the food. I got two pounds of chopped brisket and two pounds of chicken and my wife and I have been arguing over which one is better for the last two days because we keep switching teams. As far as the sides go, I made a big mistake and didn't order enough of them because they were all incredible! I got the Mac and cheese which I expected to be the typical bland mush but it was great, the baked beans were meaty and delicious, and the garlic green beans were dynamite! I honestly can't pick a favorite, which is a good problem to have. Bottom line: The owners are very friendly and accommodating. The prices are good and the food is fantastic! If you feel like getting some delicious bbq, this is the spot! read more

Good BBQ, I think it's really worth a shout out. BBQ Chicken BBQ Ribs Pulled Pork all has been really tasty.

This place is amazing! High quality food, friendly staff. They can sell out on a busy day it's that good! The family meal deal is a lot of good food and everyone in the house loves it! read more

This is hands down the BEST BBQ I have ever had. It is better than the places I have had in Texas!!! The Carolina Gold bbq and the sweet sauce were AMAZING!!!! You gotta have the mac and cheese 9.999 out of 10. read more

On a whim, and thanks to my IG account, and the 10% off coupon, I decided to jump face first into some Olympia BBQ! Gotta say, I'm happy with it! It's COVID season and I could t done in som I placed the order online and drove to pick it up. The website ordering is SUPER easy and my order was ready before I got there (I live about 10 min away). Super friendly staff on hand! The place smells great like good barbecue should! I got the 2 meat plate, with a side of smoky Mac and red potatoe salad. I chose pulled pork and the cheddar jalapeño sausage. The Mac was some of the best bbq joint Mac I've had. The potato salad was good - which I'm not usually a fan so maybe it was great? The jalapeño sausage was awesome! The pulled pork was a tad dry but that might be the PNW effect? What mattered was the taste and it was great! I went with the spicy bbq sauce. I think all in it was about 20 bucks and it fed myself and my son. Good to go, I'll be back! PS I started taking pics but I had to eat. read more

The food is amazing! I'm not a huge bbq fan but the Mac and cheese, baked beans and baked potato with pulled pork are delicious! The service is very quick and friendly! Great place to grab lunch in Tumwater! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Yummy brisket. Had the loaded baked potatoes. Okra was the best thing we had. The kid liked his chicken tenders. Picked up to-go to take to a brewery. Everything was on-time and as expected. Would do again for this off the highway excursion to this brewery. read more

Flaming pig was amazing when they opened up at Old Towne Square. Now they are over priced and there BBQ is not what it was when they opened. It's sad because they were so good. Now, not worth the money. Paid $50 for my daughter and I to eat. Even my 14yo. daughter was asking me "where's the smoke flavor". They've lost themselves somewhere. read more

I am a bit of a bbq snob and can do a solid brisket, pork, etc of my own. I love bbq restaurants but often approach them with trepidation as they often disappoint. No disappointment about Flaming Pig after two visits this week. To me, good bbq is all about the smoke, the rub and the leanness of what can be really fatty meats. A good sauce is a bonus, but if you can't get the basics down don't hide behind sauce. Flaming Pig's brisket and pulled pork were both tasty enough to eat without sauce (though their sauces are good, too). Smoky, moist, yum. And, sometimes a bbq place will be solid on their meat and flop on the sides. Not here. The potato salad and coleslaw were lightly dressed, fresh and tasty. I am so excited to have a good bbq place in the area! Support these peeps so we don't lose them to the Covid crisis! read more

here I go about my experience at the Emerald Queen Casino arrive five. It was our 42nd wedding anniversary I decided to take my wife to the new restaurant on the 11th floor overlooking the city. The prices were kind of shocking, But what the heck it's our anniversary and I decided to have chicken Cordon Bleu the same dinner I had on our wedding night. Big mistake. Never in my life have I ever had a chicken Cordon Bleu made with dark meat and a bone. Not much ham or cheese. Totally disappointing. My wife ordered halibut. It was served well the crusty outer layer with mushy smelling like fish on the other side. I don't like writing bad reviews what to save someone else disappointing dinner with a loved one thanks for Reading my complaint. thank you. Larry mocardine read more
