    Beeper for when food is ready
    Lori H.

    Had a delicious lunch here on a Sunday at noon. Staff was friendly and helpful. You order at the counter, and after paying, you get a beeper to let you know when your food is ready. There are bussing stations both inside and outside for convenience. They have a few different seating areas both inside and outside, which gives a nice amount of privacy. Love that most seating areas outside are covered with plenty of shade. We ordered the 2 meat and 2 sides plate for $32. We chose smoked chicken breast and brisket for our meats, and cornbread and cabbage apple slaw for our sides. You also get to choose a couple dipping sauces. We chose the pimento cheese and maple ancho glaze. The food was absolutely delicious! The meat was smoky and moist. It had great flavor; it didn't need any sauces in my opinion. The coleslaw was really good; loved the apples and french fried onions on top for extra crunch. We really liked the dense cornbread as well. My hubby also ordered the Gin Trail flight for $10 and enjoyed it. Overall a great first visit. We're looking forward to our next one. Would definitely recommend.

    2 meat 2 sides

    This was our first time there. First time impressions are important. My first impression of restaurant was the decor. It's interesting and very black, including the bathrooms. The second thing was that it operates more like a food cart than a sit down restaurant. The food. You can smell the smoke from up the street, that's a plus. We had the pulled pork and the wagyu brisket. The sides were cornbread and tallow fries. It all came on a metal tray on parchment paper. The portions were small for the price, but that was offset by the quality. The pulled pork was extraordinary. It was moist, tender enough to cut with a fork, and came with a mustard sauce that made bbq sauce unnecessary. The brisket was not as moist and tender, but it was still good. The cornbread was not dry like a lot are. That was a pleasant surprise. Even the fries had a lot going for them, possibly due to being fried in tallow. All in all, it's excellent bbq. Just don't expect a wait staff.

    Really cool place!! It's all brand new inside. I loved the black and white theme. You got to get there early on the evening or else they might run out of all that good bbq. I got the two items bbq with coleslaw and corn bread. The chicken was a little under cooked for me but the pulled pork was pretty decent. The pulled pork had a little spice to it as well. The corn bread was sweet and very rich. Not too bad. The beets are cold and there is a pretty good selection of local microbrews. The drinks are amazing as well. She got some kind of pink lipstick drink and it was delicious. The staff there ate all top notch!!! I can see this place going a long ways in the future. Drinks, beer and bbq!!! What else more can you want, right?

    Banana pudding or is it

    I read the reviews and they were in the middle. I'm not sure how you can have a barbecue joint if you don't have brisket on your menu for a choice every day. It's definitely a Pacific Northwest pork barbecue joint. No mac & cheese. The spareribs were delicious and the sausage was good too. The fries and the coleslaw were decent. Take a look at this picture for the bread pudding. I'm not sure why it was so gummy, but the texture was offputting, not enough vanilla wafers, and not enough bananas. But the texture let me know what you think very, very gummy. Great service but just so you know, you have to pick up your own food at the counter and bust your own table.

    Indoor bar/counter to order your food at
    Paige K.

    Tried this place on a whim when we realized some of the other spots down the street only sell alcohol (we were hungry). And I gotta say this is the cutest spot!! It's an old house converted into a restaurant, so the decor is such a good vibe. They have indoor and outdoor seating, a dog friendly patio, a bar, and you order at the counter and wait for your buzzer to alert you the food is ready! I got the pulled pork sandwhich and I'm not usually much of a meat person but it was SO GOOD. Tender fall off the fork pork, covered in an array of sauces that fit the flavor so well. My group ordered the same and we all got different sides: the fries (good but not to die for), the corn salad (I'd skip this personally), and the rice side (so good). The drinks are cheap and yummy too! The service was quick, friendly, and 100% worth it. I will definitely be going back and bringing more fri

    I love this spot!! They were out of the brisket by dinner on Saturday but the ribs and the chicken were phenomenal. And the corn salad and corn bread are some of the best I've had. Drinks were not great, it's not often I leave a beverage behind but it was far too spirit forward for a girly beverage in my opinion (lipstick on a pig). Love the outdoor seating.

    Rice & pork belly, jalapeño cheddar sausage & tallow fries
    Nicole R.

    This was undoubtedly the best restaurant meal I've had in months, maybe even years. I got the cheddar and jalapeño sausage with tallow fries and my best friend got pork belly and the rice side. We shared it was amazing. The sausage was so delicious that I don't even care what it was made out of the tallow fries were soft and pillow on the inside and crispy on the outside. The pork belly was done just right and that side of rice was quite possibly one of the best things I've ever eaten in my whole entire life. The ambience is excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place 100% five star stars.

    Brisket and pork belly. That's considered full 3 portions in total.

    After reading couple of comments about this place we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is a remodeled house with a nice street view outside but limited space inside. We ordered brisket and pork belly. The food came out relatively fast but thats about all the advantage of this restaurant. 4 strips of brisket was fat, dry and not seasoned well. 5 pieces of pork belly got overpowered by bbq sauce. The lemonade is from a jar and was very sour and overly sweet as an imitation of lemon usually is. I had martini espresso that was very flat. Not nearly enough alcohol to call it a cocktail. The total bill was $85. For 4 strips of meat and 5 small pieces bacon with a flat cocktail it's way overpriced.

    BBQ was definitely missing from the Vancouver area so I'm very pleased that the owners had the courage to do a full 180 on the menu from vegan to deep-smoked meat. Similar to their other establishments, their food is super tasty and quality so I wasn't really worried there so we were excited to support another new local business! Service was pretty spot-on with any other counter service establishment and the place filled up pretty quickly during lunchtime. Would love to see them offer some decent sweet tea or fresh lemonade along with their BBQ. Excited to try their dinner menu in the near future!

    Stephanie R.

    Food was alright, but seemed overpriced for the portions, especially the ribs, which weren't very meaty or sauced - definitely still hungry! The drinks and ambience of the place would entice me to come back. It is lovely sitting out on the porch there and the staff is very friendly .

    Went to the Lil Pig today with my wife for the first time. This place is a hit in many ways. It is an order at the counter place and then find your seat. We ordered off the lunch menu. I ordered the Porchetta sandwich and she got the pork belly, lettuce and tomato sandwich. The bread was baked in house, the meat was made in house, the veggies on the sandwiches were high quality (for example the tomato was a big, ripe, heirloom variety) the sauce which looked like mustard was a curry sauce which was unique and very good and the bbq was a thin Carolina style vinegar based sauce. I mean nothing was what I expected and yet was outstanding. The menu featured $10 cocktails, which were strong and tasty. I had a margarita and an old fashioned. The margarita was a frozen type from a machine, but definitely authentic, no crappy mix. The bourbon in the old fashioned was pork fat washed and again just not what I was expecting, but very good. The owner Brandon came over personally to check our experience. He was very friendly and just took the time to explain the new menu and details. This place is on the same great level as the Smokin Oak, but in located in Uptown Vancouver. This was the old 3 Howls distillery, and still sells the same spirits to go, so I had to leave with a Lil Pig bourbon for $36. Yet another great restaurant has been added to the Vancouver dining scene!

    Frozen drinks look great!

    Had a delicious meal this evening and while the line seemed pretty long, they were awesome and that they came and offered us drinks while we were in line. My son and I shared a pulled pork sandwich and chose two sides. I really enjoyed the cornbread and the honey butter. Usually, I don't like cornbread at barbecue places because I'm really picky. We also chose a coleslaw type of salad for a second side and enjoyed it too. The pulled pork was delicious. I had some of the coleslaw it is also. The barbecue sauce is very different. It's not the traditional smoky tomato based which I'm used to being from the South. So, I was really skeptical. I have to say I give it a big thumbs up! We really enjoyed our meal. You'll see in the pictures that they do a few things that I thought were really great one is that they give you a pager so that you know when your food is ready and you go pick it up. Two, the napkins are black, which is really nice when you have barbecue because no one I know can eat barbecue neatly and I end up wearing some of it. The third thing is the type of ice they have in their drinks. It's the kind that's the little pellets and it's a favorite of my adult sons. So we were both really happy with our dinner. I would go back.

    Great place. Food was amazing. Drinks were on point. Nice staff. Only minus 1 star because it's open seating and have to spend most of your timing hanging out in line to order food. Would have rather spent those 20-30min sitting down with family and friends. Otherwise very cool place. They did walk around taking drink order while I was in line and brought us drinks fast while still in line. For me, will try next time during day and hopefully less busy hours. I prefer more of sitting down and being waited on when dinning out.

Unfortunately, the entire evening was a complete operational failure from both the kitchen and management. The oysters and mac and cheese were fine, but things went entirely off the rails with our entree. We ordered the filet mignon medium rare; it came out rare close to raw. We sent it back, an understandable kitchen mistake except when it returned, the outside was burnt to a crisp and it was so heavily over salted that it was completely inedible after a single bite. My wife had to spit out her piece. By that point, our appetite was gone, but we gave them another chance and ordered the scallops (which were fine). The service staff was polite, but the real issue is how management handled a two-hour ordeal. It wasn't about the money, it was about the total absence of goodwill, accountability, or basic hospitality. After wasting two hours of our evening dealing with a double-botched entree at high end prices, there was zero effort to make it right no comped drinks and no complimentary gesture. Instead, we found a hidden token "discount" on the ruined steak we couldn't even eat. When I originally posted an honest review of this experience on Google, they had it quietly and immediately deleted rather than addressing the failure. That speaks volumes about how they operate. A true fine dining establishment respects their customers' time, and owns their mistakes instead of scrubbing feedback. We won't be returning.

Pro tip: Do yourself a favor and specifically ask for Scott when you make your reservation. We ordered from the Prime Hour menu, which is an absolute bargain. You get to choose between soup or salad, two different entrees, and two different desserts. We both went with the seafood Tagliatelle, and wow. It was so rich, generously loaded with halibut, scallops, shrimp, and prosciutto in an incredible lemon pasta sauce. Note for future diners: They do automatically include a 20% service charge on the bill. However, Scott's service was so exceptional that we happily tipped extra on top of it. Save your pennies, do yourself a favor, and book a table ASAP. You won't regret it!
