They offer a sample of their brisket. It is important that you say yes. :-) I got the 3 meat and side option. Around $30. Ribs - fall off the bone good. No sauce needed. Pork - excellent. Very smoky. Legit. I did use a little sauce - really just to try the sauce. I preferred the mustard based sauce. Brisket - fantastic! A near perfect brisket. Highly recommend.

BBQ is delicious! Brisket is their crown jewel of meats in my opinion. Yum Yum and Yum!!! There…read moreis turkey, there are wings, burnt ends, pork and extra tasty sides. Mac and cheese was our favorite side, extra cheesy with a heavy crust of cheese then we loved the baked beans. Sunday has fried chicken, was nice to find BBQ spot for a Sunday visit. Staff was friendly and good with suggestions. The spot is tucked in a corner of an older plaza, good news they are in process of a move to historic downtown Easley.

I know this is going to ruffle some feathers, but Smokin' Pig BBQ was an absolute yes for me…read more Let's start with the parking. We pulled in, found a spot immediately, and somehow survived the ordeal. Then the seating. My wife and I managed to endure the horrifying experience of sitting on a wooden bench while eating amazing barbecue. The restaurant was busy, which I foolishly interpreted as a sign that people enjoy eating there. As a couple, we spent around $50 and immediately regretted... not ordering more brisket. I was genuinely offended by how quickly it disappeared. The sauces were terrible if your goal is choosing just one. I kept going back for "one more taste" until I had sampled all of them multiple times. Now the food... Lord, the brisket. Moist, smoky, and somehow the complete opposite of everything I was warned about. The mac and cheese was great, the baked beans were great, and the sweet potato crunch actually had crunch. The only reason I'm giving this place five stars is because Yelp won't let me give six. Left disappointed in only one thing: that I don't live closer.

The Smoking Pig in Easley has some really great food. It's really good. But it's also very…read moreexpensive. And that is not a problem really, it's the mandatory tips you have to pay. I always tip when we go out to eat inside a restaurant. Not while going through a drive thru! You shouldn't have to tip just for someone to hand you your food out of a window. And this mandatory tip in the drive thru is multiple choice so the amount isn't even up to you really. I ask for the total when I called it in. What if that amount I was told over the phone was all I had? Would I not have gotten my food because I couldn't pay the tip? It's ridiculous. It's like giving out participation trophies. I don't like it. You shouldn't have to tip going through a drive thru unless you want to.

Lewis Barbecue was hands down the highlight of our trip. From start to finish, this place delivers…read more Service, atmosphere, food, and overall experience were all excellent. Right away, the service stands out. We were greeted and immediately offered a sample of brisket, which set the tone. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the ordering process has a really smooth, well thought out flow that keeps things moving without feeling rushed. We sat on the covered patio, which was clean, comfortable, and a great place to enjoy a meal. Now, the food. This is where it really shines. I'm a bit of a BBQ aficionado, so I'll be a little nitpicky, but none of this takes away from how great it was overall. The brisket was phenomenal. We tried both lean and fatty--both were excellent. If I had to critique anything, it leaned slightly salty, but the bark, smoke, and overall flavor were outstanding. The pulled pork was just as impressive. Tener, moist, and packed with flavor, with no wasted bits. The Texas sausage was incredibly flavorful, though slightly on the mealy side texturally. That said, the green chile cheddar sausage was an absolute standout. Loaded with flavor, chiles, and cheese. A must-order. The sides were the only area that didn't quite keep pace with the meats. The beans were a bit undercooked and lacking depth of flavor. The slaw was fresh and well-balanced, but not particularly memorable. The corn pudding was solid, but again, nothing that stood out. The sauces also deserve some recognition. All four were fantastic, each with its own unique profile. Honestly, I could've just sat there sampling them on their own. They paired perfectly with different meats and added another layer to the experience. Overall, this is an incredible BBQ spot. While it may not quite reach the level of some top tier Texas joints, it absolutely rivals them and stands out as one of the best you'll find outside of Texas.

When I came in, there was no line which was amazing! They let you sample the meats before you get it. You gotta get the brisket! Literally the best brisket I've ever had. I sampled a burnt end piece and fell in love lol The brisket was so juicy, tender and well seasoned. It had a nice crispy crust and just melts in your mouth. The pork ribs were also very good! The crust was so good. The meat didn't quite fall off the bone but was still delicious! The fries were also perfectly crispy, hot, and balanced out the bbq well. They have plenty of seating bunch of picnic tables outside and quite a few tables inside. They also have a bar inside. I wish I lived closer so I could come back more lol I'll definitely have to shop by again next time I'm in the area.
