    Sides (Mac and cheese, collard greens, fries, corn bread)
    Valerie N.

    Now this place is what I'm talking about - tasty food, friendly and quick service, and happy hour deals. We shared the meat trio platter (pork BBQ, brisket, and ribs), as well as the Mac and cheese, corn bread, and collard greens for sides. Every single thing is good. They also have happy hour deals on some appetizers and mixed drinks. They also serve draft beers, which isn't mentioned on their site so I wanted to mention it here. If you like the meats, don't pass this place up!

    MINCED NC STYLE PORK BBQ
    Lena M.

    Pig & Brew is a wonderful spot to dine-in or order takeout at. They offer cool daily specials and great variety of BBQ style meals. From the times I've gone, I've loved the way they flavor their meats. There is a lot of seating available indoors. The last time I visited, it was a very rainy day, so it wasn't too busy. Our server was really kind and took the time to explain things on the menu for my father-in-law. I loved the kick my minced NC-style pork BBQ had. It really elevated the flavor. My fiance got the burnt end brisket sandwich with fries. I loved the fries and extra crunch they had. I'm excited to try more things on the menu on a different visit. I also really enjoyed the music here. Can't wait to come back to try the drinks.

    Fish Dinner with fries and the best slaw I've ever had.

    Pigs in brew is a cool and relaxed place, that remind me of in greenwich Village NY The server was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. There are daily special for food and drinks. The weekend is included for Happy Hour Drink Specials. The Food was hot, and delicious. I'm sorry that I get photos of the outside.

    The food was amazing. 10 out of 10. I had shrimp, fish, and cheese grits and my husband had the barnyard. Amazing.

    Macaroni and cheese
    Donita J.

    The ambience is really nice... The service was impeccable. I saw so many reviews on TikTok and Instagram so I had to see what all the hype was about. I ordered 2 fish sandwiches, fries, 3 barbecue sandwiches and an order of macaroni and cheese. Well the macaroni and cheese was extremely dry and I wouldn't recommend it. The barbecue is a vinegar based and seasoned really well and served on a toasted bun. The serving size was good and the bun was toasted to perfection for me. The barbecue was seasoned really well and had a spicy finish to it. My sister said her fish was good but the fries were somewhat fried too hard for her. I was extremely disappointed with the macaroni and cheese. It was dry, I could not taste the cheese because it wasn't much in it, and the seasoning was ok. I don't think I'll visit this establishment again because it wasn't what I expected. I don't know if it was like this because it was on a holiday (4th of July) but I'm considering going back to give them another try.

    What a nice location. It has a nice vibe, nice music and an amazing happy hour! The customer service was really warm and professional. The menu is straight forward (not a lot of options). Standard Bar-B-Que bar food but with flavor. I liked the fact you scan your phone for the menu. The prices are fair and the cocktails were tasty , not too strong but not too sweet. As for the food, I have mixed emotions. I ordered the "Fish" entree with 2 sides (Mac and cheese & coleslaw). I thought I was getting at least 2 pieces of fish with my 2 sides but only received one very dry fish sandwich instead. I am happy to say that the fish was fried to a crispy sensation. The mac and cheese was okay (little buttery for my liking). The coleslaw had an acidic taste instead of the classic creamy consistency. The show stopper for me was those SMOKED WINGS!! They were falling off the bone. Flavorfully good! The parking can be a little tricky depending on your time frame. The restaurant is seat yourself and they have a long bar seating area. Also there is 15 or 20% gratuity automatically applied to your bill. All in all, it was a nice vibe, nice drinks, nice pricing, nice staff! Definitely would come back again.

    Ribs

    This place is probably better for brunch but I did not like the brisket. The wings were cooked really nice and crispy. They were probably the only thing I liked. I didn't like the beans either.

    10/15/23 6pm Pig and Brew on Hull Street Today I wanted a barbecue sandwich nothing fancy just a regular old-school barbecue sandwich with coleslaw. The nearest thing to me was Pig and Brew, so why not. When I walked in, I was greeted by the host, who was very very kind and helpful. I left my glasses in the car, but he was willing to listen to what I wanted and help me out. I told him that I really just wanted a plain old regular barbecue sandwich with french fries. The barbecue sandwich was spicy. Not sure if it's the coleslaw or the barbecue but I don't like spice. I took the coleslaw off, went to KFC bought some coleslaw and it was still spicy. So it was one or the other or both. I wish restaurants would tell people when something is spicy because a lot of times they don't. What's not spicy to you could be very spicy to someone else. Personally, I think hot and spicy takes away the flavor from the actual food. The french fries taste good, although they were no longer warm when I got home. If you like spicy food then check em out. If you don't, ask questions get a sample try to learn from my mistakes. Unfortunately, I will not return because of the spice it was too hot for me. $14/$15 for the two items.

    PORK SPARE RIBS / TWO SIDES (4 bones) COLLARD GREENS MAC & CHEESE
    Arisha H.

    Was excited to check this place out based on reviews and videos. The location is easy to find with street parking. Bright bar style restaurant with welcoming staff. Our bartender/waitress was Gigi and she was amazing. Very attentive and accommodating. The food however was disappointing. Maybe an off day. I ordered the pork ribs with two sides -Mac and cheese and the collard greens. The Mac and cheese was bland and not cheesy. Traded it for the baked beans that tasted nothing like baked beans. Almost tasted tomato based. The greens were tender. The ribs were tender however when I removed the meat I noticed the bone easily broke in half. Checked the next bone and it already appeared broken. When I pressed with my fork the bone crumbled broke completely down. I've never seen this with any ribs. Gigi was kind enough and helped me choose a replacement - shredded chicken sandwich. It was delicious. The sauce was tangy slightly smoky and the coleslaw was vinegar based so together it really complimented the chicken. Next were the wings with the omg sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly however the sauce had a weird taste to it. Hillbilly fries with the pulled chicken had a sweet taste which didn't go well with the cheese. We didn't have any drinks but the bartenders appear well experienced. We were visiting the area for the weekend and Gigi treated us as well as what appeared to be regulars.

    We opted to doordash, but it did not disappoint. The Fried wings were cooked perfectly fried hard & not too salty at all which I prefer. The mac & cheese was pretty decent, also cooked decent with just enough cheese. Collards will need some extra vinegar but they were average. Best items in the meal were the baked beans w/ just a hit of sweetness and a slight undertone of spicy & those fried wings. For a bbq spot i'm glad they do not coat everything in a ton of salt..but you can also add more if that's what you prefer.

    Road sign!!

    A must stop in the downtown Richmond area!…read more It's truly a speakeasy with the door posing as a bookshelf. To get in, you must know the password or tell the host a joke that makes him laugh. We were escorted in and quickly noticed that this was more than a speakeasy-it was a full restaurant. We stopped in for drinks, but it was nice to have tapas. I got the popcorn with the Tequilla lime butter, which was the perfect balance of salt. I had a mezcal drink which was perfect! I'm such a fan of mezcal and am excited when I see it on the menu. Our waitress was a delight-super attentive and also a bartender so she was able to answer all of our drink questions. It was very spacious with outdoor seating. Definitely a 10/10 experience. I would definitely go again!

    The parking is a sh*t show around here. We walked here, so I can't fault them for that…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by an enthusiastic young man dedicated to his role. He asked for the password and we, unprepared, had to tell him a joke or an interesting fact. Luckily, my partner had one on hand. The atmosphere was lovely, very reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy, or at least what you'd imagine it to be like. Our server came by within a few minutes of us being seated. She lacked enthusiasm, unlike the host, unfortunately. Her service turned out to be lackluster as well. We ordered the chicken pot pie and the filet mignon with asparagus. For drinks, the Grape Gatsby and Maine root beer. The food, like our server, lacked appeal. The saving grace was the host and the atmosphere. The view was lovely and the intimacy of the setting was a welcome experience. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding, and it was tasty, though nothing special. The burned odor that we smelled prior to its arrival turned out to be the bread. I can recommend Grandstaff and Stein as an experience, but you should not expect much in the way of culinary delights or exemplary service. We probably won't be back, but if you've never been, it's worth trying at least once.

The parking lot is small, and there is a pothole in the alley near the parking lot entrance that will bottom out an SUV. Apparently, there is additional parking, but we didn't see it in the dark. The restaurant is cozy, Hawaiian-themed, and clean. We were seated within moments of entering the host's periphery, and received menus and ice water within minutes. I had the poke bowl last time, and I remember it being chilled and gently flavored. The avocado and spicy mayo did a lot of the heavy lifting. It was filling and very healthy. My partner enjoyed the Ipanema Sandwich last time we visited. This time around we snacked on the fried halloumi (fried cheese and mint yogurt dip) and Lumpia, taquito-type beef rolls, with sweet and sour dip. We absolutely demolished the coconut cream pie for dessert. The pie was so delicate and lovely that even my partner enjoyed it, a typical coconut detractor. I recommend Little Nickel to anyone looking to try something unique and ambitious that veers from the well-trodden culinary path. The staff here were courteous and helpful, the restaurant was clean, and the food was firing on all cylinders.
