I arrived in town earlier than expected after a 3-hour drive and was looking for something to eat…read moreand drink. Unfortunately, options were limited--mostly fast food and a few pubs that were closed at the time. This restaurant was open, so I decided to give it a shot. The place was nearly empty, aside from a few locals. It's a surprisingly large space, which only made the emptiness more noticeable. The tap list was underwhelming--mostly domestics like Bud and Busch, along with a heavy focus on IPAs (not my thing). I ended up ordering a Corona, but it was clearly skunked, likely from sitting too long--suggesting slow turnover and possibly overstocked inventory. I ordered the half rack of ribs with baked beans and their corn coleslaw. Unfortunately, the meal was disappointing. The ribs were lukewarm, dry, and lacked flavor. No BBQ sauce was brushed on or offered--which is surprising for a BBQ joint. The beans tasted canned, and the corn coleslaw, while creative in concept, just didn't work in execution. No pickles, no bread, no condiments--nothing to round out the plate. I get that this is a small town, but when you're the only BBQ spot around, there's a real opportunity to stand out. Sadly, this place missed the mark. I don't like leaving below-average reviews, but in this case, I had to be honest.

The rice was overcooked, The smoked chicken was tasteless but good portion. It wasn't cooked all the way through so we had to bring it home and put it in the air fryer. The side portions were pathetic and its not worth the money at all. Totally disappointed. I didn't want to give one star because thats pushing it. Customer service was good, she was cool. Other than that Its a hell to the no!!! As of right now I don't feel well after eating the food. For $40 and we were still hungry, what a waste of time and money. Definitely won't be returning.

I came in to Smoking Fatty's with my family back in July for my birthday and ordered myself a pound…read moreof brisket--both lean and fatty cuts. I've been smoking meats myself for well over a decade, so I was honestly pretty disappointed by what I got. The brisket had clearly been rewarmed in some kind of liquid that tasted heavily of liquid smoke. There was no rendered fat or tallow on the surface--just a watery "broth" that left the meat bland. The bark was decent, but it got soft from sitting in the liquid. The flat wasn't tough, but definitely wasn't tender either. It needed more time on the smoker to break down the collagen. The real issue was with the point slices. What I got had nearly ¾ inch of solid fat left on it--should've been trimmed better--and it was sliced way too thin, thinner than a wood pencil. That cut should be served thick to showcase the richness, not shaved like deli meat. I'm not the type to normally complain to my waitress, but she cleared nearly half a pound of brisket off my plate without asking a single question, which surprised me. I know stuff happens and not every cook is perfect. But this was pretty bad for a bbq joint owned by a company with multiple restaurants here in Elkhart.

If disappointment had a smell, it would be whatever's coming out of The Prized Pig. This place…read moresomehow turns barbecue, a cuisine built on patience, care, and flavor, into an expensive lesson in lowered expectations. The meat arrives dry, tired, and joyless, like it's been reheated emotionally as well as physically. Each bite feels less like a meal and more like an obligation. Smoke without flavor, seasoning without purpose, and textures that make you wonder if the kitchen has ever experienced moisture. The sauces don't enhance anything, they just sit there, confused, desperately trying to distract you from the fact that the food underneath is beyond saving. For the prices they charge, you'd expect something memorable. And it is memorable, just not in the way they're hoping. You'll remember how much you paid, how little you enjoyed it, and how fast you wished you'd gone literally anywhere else. This is the rare restaurant where you regret ordering while you're still chewing. The atmosphere tries to sell "rustic farm charm" but delivers "neglected barbecue joint that mistook vibes for effort." It's not cozy, it's not charming, and it certainly isn't worth planning a meal around. I wish I could give this place ZERO stars. The Prized Pig isn't just bad barbecue, it's aggressively mediocre, which somehow feels worse. If you value flavor, money, or happiness, do yourself a favor and keep driving. This is not a destination. It's a warning.

They didnt have a price but when I checked my card it said I was charged $9 which I think was a touch pricey but worth it. I loved the crispiness of the fried avocado. I've never heard of fried avocado and can imagine it's not easy to perfect but they perfected it. They almost tasted like mozzarella sticks. The salsa was mild and the chips were crisp and tasty combined with the salsa. The food went well with my drink from Final Gravity. My best friend raved about their steak tacos. I definitely 1,000,000,000% would recommend. My only complaint was after you order it would be nice to have like a window and shelf type thing to have people wait at for food and to set the food on. I felt awkward and unsure of where to stand.

We were under the impression that it would be a half pig but turns out it was cut up in pans ready to eat and it was all dark meat so I'm assuming it was all pork butts that he roasted. Don't get me wrong, I love pork butts I just thought it was going to be a 1/2 pig so there would be some loin in with the rest of the dark meat. It was served with buns (just average store buns). The house-made corn dip with chips was really good and spicy. The cowboy caviar with chips was also good. It was corn, beans, peppers and tomatoes. It could've used some salt and it was a bit watery but I still liked it. The baked beans were alright, nothing special. Small beans with pulled pork, brown sugar and bbq sauce. They were also a bit runny but they seemed to thicken up a bit the longer they sat on the burner keeping warm. I wasn't a fan of the mac & cheese. I liked that they used cavatappi pasta, but it was very bland and was really soupy. I later read the menu to see that my assumption of it being made with cheese sauce was accurate. There was no baked cheese on top that I think would've helped maybe. The potato salad was made with quite large chunks of potato (larger chunks than I prefer) and they were a bit undercooked in my opinion. There was also black olives and carrots in it which I also did not like. Most of us questioned if it was store bought potato salad with added olives in it. The cole slaw was nothing special. It was very large pieces of shredded cabbage & carrots and seemed like maybe it came right from GFS and into a pan. They did bring 4 different kinds of bbq sauce that they make that were great. I personally wouldn't be ordering from here when I see them at a fair/festival/event nor will I pay to have them cater an event I'm hosting. I am glad I was able to try it and form my own opinion. I've even world class bbq and this was not it. I've attended Memphis in May a few times and also been to the Carolina's and Texas for bbq that have won many awards so I do feel like my opinion of this is accurate.
