It seems like a great spot for groups of friends and families, with a welcoming vibe. Our server, KK, was very friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, with generous portions that definitely gave us the energy we needed for the rest of our drive. The pork steak was a standout for me--well cooked and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, which were crispy and satisfying. All in all, The Fishin' Pig is a good place for a laid back, hearty meal.

1 Star -- Spoiled Burger and Very Concerning Response…read more My friend and I stopped at Fishin' Pig in Poplar Bluff for supper tonight around 5 PM. What started as an ordinary dinner turned into a very concerning food-safety experience. I ordered the Holy Cow Burger, and my friend ordered the brisket po boy with an extra order of fries. His sandwich did not seem to be brisket at all--it appeared to be pot roast and contained a huge piece of fat. He also never received the extra fries he ordered; the portion he received was no larger than mine. We had the missing fries removed from the bill. The much bigger problem was my burger. I immediately smelled that the meat was spoiled when it arrived. My friend smelled it as well. I took only a couple of very small bites and stopped eating it. I sent it back and, understandably, had completely lost my appetite and didn't order anything else. We told our waitress what was wrong. Unfortunately, she did not seem particularly concerned and mostly shrugged it off. It also appeared that the kitchen staff had not been made aware of the problem. Things became even more concerning afterward. My friend posted about our experience on Facebook, and the manager responded almost immediately. The manager then checked the burger meat in the kitchen and apparently discovered that the meat was indeed spoiled and disposed of all of it. That is a serious food-safety failure. I'm an older man, and spoiled food can potentially cause significant illness, especially for older customers and those with health conditions. The fact that management ultimately found the meat bad enough to discard it makes the situation even more troubling. An elderly couple was actually ordering burgers as we were leaving. I sincerely hope they noticed the odor and did not eat the same meat. Thankfully, I only consumed a couple of tiny bites. Hopefully that will spare me from any health consequences, but I shouldn't have to wonder whether a meal I ordered at a restaurant is going to make me sick. The food quality was poor, the extra fries were never delivered, and most importantly, spoiled meat was served to a customer. Even more troubling was the apparent lack of urgency when the problem was initially reported. Fishin' Pig needs to take this very seriously. Food safety isn't something a restaurant can afford to shrug off. I will not be returning, and I strongly recommend that management review its food-handling, inspection, and employee-reporting procedures.

Inconsistent food, slow kitchen, and disconnect between the kitchen and service. Orders come out without any organization or timing. We put in our order and waited over 20 minutes for our food, meanwhile, the table behind us was seated while we waited and their food came out before ours. When the food did arrive it was lukewarm and you could visibly see it was dry from sitting under the lamps for a long period of time. My husband's steak was overdone and dry, the edges of my omelette were dry and crispy from the lamps and they forgot the sauce on my omelette I was charged extra for. The system isn't working. They have wait staff that take orders and get drinks, kitchen staff cooking food, and food runners who bring the food out without know who or what was ordered. Breakdown in communication and no accountability makes it a poor experience for the customers. The remodel looks nice and the breakfast menu is small but welcome to a town that has extremely limited Sunday breakfast offerings. The staff is friendly but not problem solvers. Nothing was said or offered when I brought our issues to our server not even removing the sauce that was missing from the bill, yes, we still had to pay for what I didn't get. They crammed a family of 7 into a table for 4, so cramped I couldn't see where they were going to set plates. I suggested to our waitress they move the table next to them together for more room (a party had just finished from doing this so I know it could be done) she said she couldn't but would relay it to another. Yea when we left they were still sitting on top of each other and they sat a couple of 2 at the empty table so nope no consideration for guest comfort. The first time we went I brushed off the errors as they had just reopened but now they've been up and running for over a month and plenty of time to fix the bugs. We won't return, it isn't worth it I would rather drive out of town for a good meal experience.

I ordered baked beans as my side. Well, the upgrade to large was surprisingly small. The beans came in an extremely small container. There was one choice of sauce, which was OK, but I like a little more kick. Couldn't eat two bites of the sandwich as they were gristle. The decorations with all their awards was impressive.
