Order: 2 meat 2 sides plate (pulled pork, brisket, fries, and mac n' cheese) Service was quick and friendly and the meat and sides were all very good. But the portions were way too small. Especially when the brisket is $4 extra and you only get one piece. Every BBQ joint I've ever been to loads you up. Why so stingy? Double the size of the meat and I'll double the stars. read more

Don't let the outside looks fool you! Come on in and enjoy some really good food. I had the two meat with two sides. The pulled pork was well seasoned and extremely tasty. The wings were also flavorful. The wife had the pork sandwich. Mac & Cheese was phenomenal. Our waiter, Anthony, was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable on the menu. I highly recommend you try this place out if you are in the Surfside SC area!!! read more

Very, quant, little place with indoor/ outdoor seating. Service was great, server was very friendly. We started with Appetizers the Deviled Eggs and Brisket Loaded Fries. Both were Delicious. The cornbread is amazing. My husband had the Bbq Pork Sandwich which was very tasty. The macaroni and cheese was okay, I wasn't really a big fan of it but my husband enjoyed it. We would definitely eat here again. The cook was serenading everyone as we ate belting out certain parts of songs through out our meal. read more

Second visit in as many weeks Consistency and quality are the leading pluses Lunch portions excellent Choices are also Hard choices between pulled pork and brisket I had the combo first time and if I wasn't cooking tonight I would have repeated good qty Recommend to locals like myself and tourists alike read more

DELICIOUS FOOD! Good price and you get a full tray to enjoy! Nice cornbread was moist and perfectly cooked! Service great. Beautiful place to eat with great atmosphere. Heaters if it's cooler- outdoors games. Gotta give this place a chance. The pulled pork melted in my mouth with the white Alabama sauce yummy! One suggestion make a 3 meat 1 side option.... I want the meat sweats! read more

Gracious Pig Smokehouse - This was the two meats two sides. Got two nice meaty ribs and a hunk of pulled pork! Cole slaw and Mac and cheese tasted great - Barbeque Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Out of several meats and waitress got the order wrong. Then had to wait long for food that was just average. I hate leaving bad reviews but there are too many good options in town. We will not be back. read more

This is a well done concept. They know what they want to be, and they are exactly that. A non-pretentious barbecue joint where the food takes center stage and the staff plays a supporting role. The decor is a rustic/barn type and it is comfortable and welcoming. It is not a big place, and we visited about 11:30 during cold winter season, with construction happening out front- but by 12:00 noon every seat was full. Our server Jess was friendly and accommodating, recommending the fried okra and the corn pudding. Sadly they were out of butter beans & Brussels sprouts - that was disappointing but we are living in tough times for food distribution.... We all ordered drinks, 2 pig punch mules & a Surfside madras. They were delivered quickly, presented in Deep Eddy metal drink cans (very cool) and they were delicious! We started with the deviled eggs which were exactly as expected. Freshly prepared delicacies garnished with crisp diced bacon, chopped scallions and a pickled okra bonus item! An excellent, shareable, affordable item. The six deviled eggs were devoured immediately by our party of three, with each of us licking our chops and commenting on the savory deliciousness! Our entree food took about 11 minutes and was delivered hot and fresh. The pulled pork was moist and flavorful and the Kansas City sauce was sweet and tangy. The brisket sandwich was well prepared, however I found the ciabatta roll to be a bit overpowering for the tender juicy brisket inside. All of the components worked & I really liked the POP of the jalapeños, however- Totally my personal preference, I found myself wishing I had gone "component style" with the stand alone brisket & 2 sides. I ordered a side of collards with my sandwich which I never received. We must have been well fed because I didn't even notice until we had left. We were charged but no collards ever arrived... I will take the blame on that. The coleslaw was sweet and creamy with noticeable notes of celery seed, the macaroni and cheese was sticky and cheesy with all the right flavor profiles, the fried okra was hot and crispy, but the star of the day was the corn pudding. If we were a bit less civilized I believe we would've fought over it! We finished with banana pudding which was sweet, creamy & totally satisfying. One serving was sufficient to share among the 3 of us. We found $102 with tax & tip to be acceptable for an area this close to the beach. At the end of the meal Austin came out from behind the line to thank us for stopping in - he was friendly, polite, and sincere explaining to us his entrepreneurial spirit and visions to expand upon his bright young future. That's when we knew our food was genuinely prepared with love. I would consider this place a "must see" for BBQ in Myrtle Beach. Thank you Gracious Pig! read more

This place is great! We ordered takeout and the staff was very accommodating to my many questions about pricing, order sizes, and flavor nuances of their sauces! Yummy sides, delicious and crispy wings, great ribs. Really friendly staff. Thanks again! read more

I was not really expecting much from this place. While the outside is super cute, I was skeptical about BBQ at the beach. Well, it exceeded my expectations! I had the basic pulled BBQ sandwich and it was really flavorful and the meat was tender. They had a lot of different sauces to try which was fun. The collard greens were INCREDIBLE! I also tried the roasted potato medley and the portion was large. The drinks were also great. Our waitress Jennifer was attentive and really helpful. I have to say it was all around a great experience and would highly recommend it! read more

TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT. Called restaurant to confirm wait time and they stated they were able to sit immediately. Arrived and paid to park and was told there would be a 1.5 hour wait. Two tables that arrived after us were sat before us. POOR MANAGEMENT. After waiting for a ridiculous amount of time, they sat us at a table that had been available our entire wait time. Then we were informed that they were out of all of their meat, except sausage. No apology for the inconvenience for the poor planning of their kitchen. So not only did we wait and pay to wait because of parking, we didn't even get to eat. Would not recommend. Management had an extremely crappy attitude. All of this while trying to entertain a 2 year old. The restaurant should've known they were going to run out of food by the time we would've been sat. We happily would've left and found another restaurant. Also don't use the restrooms, it doesn't lock, it's smells horrible, is sticky, barely has soap (just some random bottle from dollar store) and it has no air flow so it's hotter than the sun. The floor where you eat has food all over it, with no signs of being swept in some time. The picnic tables are wobbly and could fall over at any time. read more

Wow!!!! Gracious is right. This is what we have been needing - a smokehouse! Lunch was even better than expected - but knowing what this group puts out across the street (Pizza Hyena) - we had high expectations and they hit it out of the park! Lunch was Deviled Eggs and 3 Meats/2 Sides. The ribs were falling off the bone and the brisket was so tender you cut it with a fork. Wings were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Mac N Chz tasted like grandmas and the Brussels Sprouts - I am still thinking about. I am so gracious y'all have opened - naturally We asked what was going next door and now the countdown is on for Chimichanga llama! Can't wait to see what y'all are bringing us next - I know it will be amazing!!! read more

Great food and fun location. Seating area is small. A bit pricey, but delicious. Nice option in the area.

We had the pick 2 meats and 2 sides plates. The beef brisket and pulled pork were delicious. Very juicy and flavorful. Although it came with your choice of sauce, we did not even use it. The sides were also very good! read more

*Russell Peters voice* TOO GOOD, TOO GOOD! Every sauce they have is amazing also. I have nothing bad to say. There's always live music, the vibe and look of the restaurant is awesome, the staff is SUPER friendly and helpful with recommendations, I could go on and on so I'll stop now.

Great bbq downtown surfside. Quick and friendly service. We had the bbq plates and southwest salads. Both were delish. The mac and cheese wasn't my favorite but good none the less. We sat outside and there were a ton of flies that came around when we got our food but could have been the time of day/year. Great spot and people watching too! BBQ Plates Pick 2 Meats read more

Awesome food! Best pulled pork I have tasted! Love the Alabama white sauce! Definitely will come back. read more

In Myrtle for a six week golf junket. Tried this place on our last night for takeout something different, I.e., not seafood. The brisket is some of the best I've ever had. It truly melts in your mouth. Had it with Kansas City BBQ sauce, which was also very flavorful. Sides were comprised of baked beans and slaw; both very good. My only regret is not trying this place earlier, because I would have gone back several times. This will definitely be on the rotation next year. read more

Today I had ribs with corn pudding and potatoe salad. Service was quick and pleasant. Our servers name was Taylor, she was sweet and enjoyed my little banter with her. Food was good, not competition bbq, but read more

Such kind people, and the food made it even better.Dog friendly patio which made the experience 5/5

Excellent BBQ food. Pulled pork sandwiches and fall off the bone ribs. Great margaritas. Highly recommend.

Visited the Gracious Pig for some Good Southern barbecue. Fantastic service and cocktails seems that beer is an afterthought. Food selection is awesome with numerous sides. Wife had two meat with two sides ribs and brisket, beans and coleslaw. I had pulled pork and smoked sausage, collard greens and baked Mac and cheese. The place is portrayed to be a old gasoline station and it delivered on that ambiance. There is also ample outside seating BBQ Plates Beef Brisket, Ribs Brisket Sandwich read more

Items ordered: Ribs, Wing Dings, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Turkey BLTA, Mac and cheese, corn pudding, baked beans, okra. For a BBQ joint, this was the driest ribs we have ever had. First off, the order came with two ribs which seemed to have been sitting in a warmer all day. There was no sauce at all on the ribs, it was served in a small cup on the side. The wing dings were the same - deep fried to a crisp, dry as dust, and no sauce. The smoked turkey was probably the best meat out of our order, but still not the best. The turkey BLTA barely had any bacon. Also, the "A" in BLTA stood for avocado, for which there was none. I had to ask for it to be brought out and was given three small slices. The sides were ok, probably better than any of the meat we tried. I don't know if it was just an off day or what, but we were utterly disappointed. read more

Causal bbq place, with quality food. Portions are bigger than most places in the area. Friendly and attentive servers. We will definitely be visiting again. read more

Enjoyed some delicious bbq here, however the bun our sandwich was served on was stale. Service was great. Fried okra excellent!

We have been talking about going, and today was our first time to the Pig. It was absolutely worth it! Our party of four split the loaded brisket fries appetizer - the brisket was sublime; the toppings were excellent! We had the brisket sandwich, BLTA sandwich and a bologna sandwich. My brisket was smoked/cooked perfectly, and the jalapeño peppers gave a nice little buzz on the taste buds! The BLTA sands were apparently quite tasty, as was the bologna. Service was good, atmosphere is nice, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Highly recommend!! BH - Surfside read more

Deviled eggs and brisket sandwich is kc style and. fabulous. Easy ride from ocean lakes.

We have done online orders two times. Food is always ready promptly. Excellent food. The wings are great. The ribs and the pulled pork barbecue are the best we have had. My husband enjoyed the highway 9 bologna sandwich and it was excellent. read more

BBQ and brisket were on point. Several good bbq sauces to chose from, they brought a sample of each at my request. Seasoned fries were good and the baked beans too. Def a good spot if you are looking for good bbq. read more

We ate breakfast and dinner here this week. Both were excellent. Great food and great service. Regarding dinner, I couldn't believe how much brisket was on both the brisket sandwich and the brisket mac n cheese! The smoked chicken salad sandwich was delicious as well! I highly recommend the Gracious Pig! read more

As I local I try to support local businesses. I stopped in last month for lunch for the 1st time and it was fantastic so good went back 3 days later. I called today to place a take out order. They just opened and several items were not available as they were still prep/cooking them. I wanted ribs but they were still being smoked and would be ready till tonight/tomorw. Really??? I order the 2 meats & 2 sides Smoked sausage and brisket which has a $5 up charge. I went in to pay my order wasn't ready yet. After I paid I looked at the receipt and saw I was charged twice ‍ Worker removed one charge. Came home and was disappointed the brisket was pulled not sliced like the last 2 times I had it and had quite a bit of fat. Sausage was good Mac and cheese had no flavor and was cold. Collards had more stalls/stems then leaves and not much flavor. Very disappointed in their inconsistency. Instead of opening more establishments try focusing on doing one excellent. read more

The Baked Beans are canned, seriously? The Mac and cheese was reheated, not made fresh that day, and they run out of it at 6:30pm on a Friday night. So only one of us could have it. As if that wasn't bad enough, part of our order wasn't ready, and it came out after we were finished eating. Unfortunately, it didn't looked like it was cooked all the way. I will never go back to eat there, or recommend it to anyone. Unless I really dislike them. What a waist of time and money. The only positive thing was the young lady working the front, very apologetic, and attentive. read more

My sister and I went for lunch this weekend,and our lunch was amazing. Morgan was such a great waitress, friendly, kind and of course great service!!! The ribs were unbelievable, best in town!!! Smoked chicken was also very good. You really can't go wrong here. loved that the owner came to the table to check in with us, and chat. See you again Morgan, Cheers from Boston. read more

Can't speak for the food, but the customer service is terrible. We had a party of 11, including kids. We were told they only had one table to accommodate our group and it was already full. We asked if we could sit at two separate tables, and again we were denied because "that's not a good idea with kids." read more

Food was good -- Clean establishment -- Friendly staff -- Good service -- Smells delicious inside and out.

I gotta say, they do a pretty good job with the Q. I am super picky. Great spot in the center of Surfside Beach. Be patient and enjoy watching the world go by because it will be worth the wait. I had the two meat platter. Smoked sausage is SPOT ON. The pulled pork is not traditional low-country style (vinegar based) but given they have to appeal to a wide variety of tastes, you can choose your sauces and it is great. Moist, smokey, full of flavor, great portion. They smoke the meat on site daily. DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY RUN OUT!!! That is the sign of artisan Q. The Mac N Cheese was pretty good and unique. The rice and gravy were good. All in all, a winner. Highly recommend. WILL RETURN. read more
