We got the ribs and the meat was falling off the bone, Chicken was tender also. For my sides I had the Mac and cheese, Greens and rolls although they forgot my cornbread. The food was good although I found the sauce to be a little watery! But I would definitely revisit the place. read more

Contrary to be he average rating, I've consistently had a good experience with most food menu items and staff. You can order brisket and other meats by quarter pounds and if you're looking for a creamy Mac n cheese, they have it. What they don't serve are cocktails and other mixed drinks. They serve their own soda brand, limited wines and brews. This is a nice spot to take a break from shopping and their seating ranges from bar, high tables, and outdoor seating. read more

I seek out good que where ever I travel. I found this place on Yelp... of course and rolled up. It is in the local mall so busy busy but it was brisket and pulled pork. Mac and cheese was solid too. Service was friendly and fast. The really had some diverse sauces that represented different BBQ Mecca's which I found super cool. Tried them all I did. The World Cup was on the TV's so this was a win, win. Give them a try, oh, the pickles are fantastic too. read more

Wow, so my husband listens to sports podcasts and heard about this place and since we were traveling, it was not that far off our path, so we stopped in. The meat was soo delish. The chicken was great, the chili was ok, not our fav, but everything else was great for us and our kiddo. Large portions, plenty of seating, great views. read more

Let me just start off by saying that I am really hesitant on eating BBQ outside of the home let alone Texas. I was visiting the area and was going for a burger. I noticed PIAP and decided to try. I decided to order the brisket (lean), greens, Mac n cheese, cornbread and a side of pickles. I wasn't expecting much since I can be picky. I just want to say that everything was amazing! Beyond my expectations! The mac n cheese was cheesy and not lacking on any cheese sauce. The cornbread was good even with the small bits of jalepeno. The brisket was so tender and seasoned so well! It literally fell off the fork! The pitmaster had to have been here before!! The meat was perfect! But when I tell you the greens topped the icing on the cake! Now, it is cooked with meat so if you are not into it, you will be! I ate the greens with the cornbread and it was the best balance of flavor!! I just needed a little hot sauce and I would have thought these were made in someone's grandma kitchen! PIAP will always get my $ when I am in the area! Also, even though you order at a menu, the customer service is wonderful! The team member answered all my questions to ensure my order was right. Now how can I get this shipped back to Texas.... read more

About 30-35 minutes north of Union Square San Francisco, Pig In a Pickle is located in a mall in the city of Corte Madera. Parking is easy as the mall parking lot is plentiful. The restaurant is also facing the street, so it's easily accessible. They are across from Starbird. They probably had really long lines before (or learned from their other location that always has lines). They now have kiosk ordering for take-out and QR code menu on the table. The only time you saw a server was them bringing food to your table. There is a water station next to the entrance. Pay with credit card if you order on the QR code (Apple Pay accepted). If you pay with cash, you get 4% discount and you have to waive down a server. Brisket was good. Baby back ribs were fall off the bone. We had a party of two, which we noted in the order, and we ordered a small size, which comes with three bones. They gave us four ribs! The sides here are so flavorful. The potato salad was great. The mac n cheese was so cheesy and creamy with white cheddar from Wisconsin. The dill pickle was sour. The B&B pickles were sweet. I would love to try the beef brisket chili next time. The sauces here are definitely lacking. Only the spicy BBQ sauce was good and actually had a spice kick. The eastern carolina and white alabama are not even worth tasting imo. The public restroom is across the entrance, on the same side as Starbird. read more

I noticed the reviews for this spot were quite low but still wanted to give it a fair shot. Unfortunately, this might be one of the worst BBQ spots I've been to. The ribs were extremely small, the brisket was very fatty, and the mac and cheese was watery. The cornbread also tasted like it was a day old and wasn't even warm. To make matters worse, my stomach started hurting almost immediately after eating. Definitely won't be returning. read more

I don't usually eat barbecue, but I came to this restaurant a couple times and it's really good. The flavors are incredible. I had a Reuben sandwich once and I also had ribs another time. Straightforward barbecue menu with good beers some seating inside with other tables outside perfect during the warm months I recommended to all the carnivores read more

Terrible experience. Rude hosts, was very dirty inside and we should have turned around before we even sat down. We ordered food off their QR code, our daughter is young and allergic to eggs, they didn't have much for her beyond some chicken we ordered, so we bought a small French fry across the way and they wouldn't let a two year old eat fries while we ordered a $100 of food for 3 adults. We canceled the order, and they gave us a phony receipt for the cancellation and we had to then go through our credit card company to get the refund. Food looks like trash anyway. read more

This was my first time dining here. You order through a QR code, and they bring the food to your table. Water is self-service. I ordered the ¼ lb beef brisket (marbled cut) for $10.00. It was good and not overly burned. They offer different sauces, and I tried the mild, mustard, and spicy. I preferred the mild sauce, which paired well with the brisket. The portion size was just right--filling but not too heavy. If I'm in the neighborhood, I would dine here again. read more

This is one of the best bbq spots in Marin. Their brisket is amazing and it falls apart and melts in your mouth. That is my go to meat to get. The Mac & chese is also good too. It is a nice little spot where you can sit at the bar, they have tables inside and outdoor seating. The waiters and staff are friendly and you can order from kiosk or online. Can't forget about their ribs, very tasty. They got several different bbq sauces, but I like the flavor of their meat and use sauce if I feel the need for it. read more

I ordered a 1/4 pound brisket, 2 pieces of chicken, potato salad, brisket chile, mustard sauce, & a vinegar sauce. To go. My youngest has dietary restrictions, so he has to order next door...no outside food here! Yes, exclamation point! But the real problem was asking for hot sauce off their tables. Had I ate in, it would have been free. But one of the managers awkwardly said they have to charge me. I moved on. The brisket was excellent. Marbled, a fat top, nice bark. Moist & flavorful. The chicken was moist & tasty. Killer gold sauce, not available at the tables. Fantastic potato salad. Chile brisket was awesome, with green chiles. I make BBQ myself & salute the craft here. Yes, in a mall in Marin. $35 with a $3 tip...great value for what you get. Still, the attitude about table sauce irks. The best BBQs across the USA give you sauce. Even to go. I get paying for the OUTSTANDING mustard gold sauce. But table BBQ sauce? So it's a 2 star. Easily could be a 4 star. With a better attitude & service. I'll be back. I'm a sucker for good BBQ. Without my family, eating alone. It is what it is. read more

Third time for take out ! Baby back ribs and eastern Carolina barbecue sauce! This place doesn't get more South Carolina on the pallet than probably anywhere in the north Bay! Friendly staff we've got games on the TV so you can park your hubby while you do your holiday shopping it Towncenter nice selection of beer too! And I think the prices are quite fair for the quality of this smoke and sauce! read more

Pig In a Pickle - My first time here - Barbeque Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Stopped by Pig in a Pickle for a quick BBQ fix and was really impressed. The pulled pork sandwich was tender and packed with flavor, and the 1/4 rack of baby back ribs was juicy and fell right off the bone. Sides didn't disappoint--ranch-style beans were hearty, and the cornbread was warm, moist, and just the right amount of sweet. Ended on a high note with the rich and silky butterscotch pudding. Big shoutout to the super friendly staff --they made the whole experience feel extra welcoming. And the housemade sauces are a major win. Loved the self-serve urns so you can sample as much as you want or take some to go. Definitely planning to come back and try more! read more

I wasn't able to order. I can't comment on the food since they don't take orders. I tried placing the order using the qr code at the table and the site crashed so I tried to place the order at the register but they wouldn't let me. They insisted I should hand them my phone so they could "fix" it instead of just taking my order. I asked to place the order directly and they said they thought I wanted them to take my phone from me right out of my hand. No order. No food. Nice! read more

I've been getting their salads here for a number of years. Always with brisket & ranch dressing. Yesterday was the last time because the quality has slid way downhill. The brisket was dry, the ranch dressing was watery & nearly tasteless. Plus you pay $1 for extra dressing now. The asparagus in the salad was also nearly flavorless, barely cooked & some pieces were so woody in texture I had to discreetly return them to the serving platter. With a tip, that was more than $30. I'm happy to pay for quality food, well prepared. This wasn't. read more

I've been here over a dozen times in the last year and it's one of my go-to spots. The vibe is what really keeps me coming back--casual with a laid-back, almost dive bar energy. It feels like a true locals' place where people come to relax, and I always have a great time here. Sitting at the bar is the move. Justin is the best--if you have a sense of humor, you probably won't leave without a few good laughs. Every interaction I've had with the staff has been friendly and easygoing. The owner is also awesome and clearly cares about the place. Food has always been solid in my experience, and the house-made pickles are a must. Great food, drinks, people, and atmosphere. I'll definitely keep coming back!! read more

It's interesting that the first time I came over I wasn't impressed but the second I came by I kinda enjoyed the food here. The place is in a mall so parking shouldn't be difficult. It's easy to make a reservation online but there is probably not a need to as I havent found it difficult to get seating. Most of the people ordered to go so there is usually some seating available. The seating at the patio seems to be more popular but because the location can get really hot I prefer it indoors. The people working here are usually really young and they do try their best and I'm impressed that they cleaned up without feeling grossed out by the leftover food. I really enjoyed the ribs and the sauces are great. The sausages are not bad either but I think pork ribs are the best chicken on the menu. It can be a little dry without the sauce but that's why the sauces are available. Although they charge for sauces when you order to go but you can ask for sauce when you take leftovers after dining in. I like the vibe of the restaurant even though it doesn't seem like a good fit for the decor of the overall shopping center. Overall I'd say I've had better BBQ but in the Bay Area this is good enough if you miss BBQ. read more

Walt reporting for Walt's Adventures and I find myself in Corde Madera, California. Pig In A Pickle is a BBQ restaurant. It's one of many eateries gathered together at the Corde Madera Town Center. The eatery has both indoor and outdoor dining. The outside dining option does have coverage depending on where one sits. We were encouraged to order via a QR code. Upon completion and not more than 5 minutes later, we had our drinks. I dare say that our meals arrived no more than a lapse of 10 more minutes. The food we found to be outstanding... it matched their presentations. We chose a group selection so that our group could share. Our only reservation is that the restaurant depends on the restrooms from the Town Center to serve their patrons. If you're looking for a great BBQ and gathering place for family and friends, then look no further than Conde Madera. read more

Love it on a nice 90 degree evening. Meats are already cooked so service is extremely fast. Sauces are amazing. I always get a little extra mustard and spicy sauce with any leftovers so that I can use them for sandwiches at home or as a dip for chips while watching football at home.

Jessica was great! She talked to me after my meal to see how I liked everything -- I've got to say the Brisket is really really good. I got more of the fat on my brisket! Honestly one of the best briskets I've tasted -- I also enjoyed the coleslaw and pickle! I came for lunch time and the ambience felt good inside with the wooden bbq theme they have going. It wasn't busy and service was fast. I'm going back to try more of the brisket! read more

This restaurant turns on the charm and welcomes you from the moment you walk in the door until you leave. This is a rare breed of restaurant that welcomes you with a smile, lets you know how their QR code menu works, food comes out quickly and it's hot and the presentation is very aesthetically pleasing as well. The bartender and waiter both check on you multiple times and let you know there's free refills on the soda and to just give the bartender a waive to let him know. Food was great - BBQ chicken 1/4, 3 baby back ribs, cornbread, and the Mac and cheese. And when you depart - they give a nice goodbye and thank you! Color me impressed! read more

We ordered brisket chili n did not like it. It was too greasy n asked to take it back. The waiter called the manager n we said we wanted to order the beef riblets n lay the difference. But the manager said he would just give us quarter of it call it even. But when we left looked at the box he gave us the wrong thing. I don't think he wanted to help us. First n last time bc of the service. He was rude n the waiter never came back. When we came in they didn't even offer if we wanted something to drink. Sucks read more

I don't know maybe I hit it on OFF days on prior visits. Today I stand humbled. Point brisket, ribs, beans, cornbread, potato salad--all dang delicious. Mild and Eastern Carolina BBQ sauces hit the spot too. Next time bring a bigger group and pay cash that's the ticket. Smoke it! read more

Fast service (QR code ordering at tables or staff service at bar) and a modern/industrial ambiance. The waitress told us the pulled pork, the brisket , and the macaroni and cheese were the best sellers. The macaroni and cheese (3.5/5stars) was above average for a run of the mill barbecue shop, but it was a little bit on the overcooked side, and didn't taste much different to me than a box of white cheddar Mac from a grocery store. I thought the brisket was good (4/5 stars for my husband, he requested & loves wet cut brisket) but I was disappointed by the available sauces (about four bottles of hot sauce, and three flavors of runny barbecue sauce - regular, spicy, and mustard). read more

What a great find! This place is actually pretty nice, all bad reviews here are definitely written by depressed Kevins and Karens. Cozy atmosphere, QR code system works flawlessly, the drinks come right away, and by the way, the IPA on draft is served in perfect chilled temperature. Highlight of the experience is the waiter Ben, he is a rockstar and deserves a salary raise and a promotion. The food is delicious, sides are flavorful and brisket in special is comparable to the best Ive had during my many years in Texas. The ribs are on the small side but they are meaty and smoked to perfection. They have outdoor seating too which is great for people watching and catching some sunshine All tables have a rack with 6 different sauces. Go there, have fun, don't be a hater and thank me later! read more

The moment we walked in, we were greeted, the bill of fair is diverse, we had the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, we placed our order which arrived quickly, tasty and on the table there's more than enough choices for barbecue sauces.

Well, I guess I have to come in at about the average of 700 other reviews. Three stars. This place is a conundrum. The food is a five. It's great. Man do they know how to barbecue. The is a zero. And I don't mean that they don't get you your stuff, or even get it . I mean that they just exude this entire attitude of superiority that they do not care about you and do not want you to be there. I've been there multiple times and every time I walk away feeling abused. They are condescending and just not nice people. It's like they want to cook, but not the business and they're stuck in the business. And this comes from the top and I mean this about the owner. And definitely the bartender. It comes from the senior people in there. It's tragic because this place could be a on five if they were just nicer to people. read more

Walking up the smell was great. The pulled pork absolutely had nothing to do with that delicious scent. It tasted boiled. The sauces on the table tasted watered down too. Additionally, you are asked to tip when you order the server was very nice. read more

Great BBQ place!!! Service is topnotch! We drive an hour just to eat their brisket. First two trips were great but unfortunately the third time we were a bit disappointed with the BBQ ribs. They were a bit tough which were totally different from the first two visits. Cornbread was really good. So still 5 star but they should make sure ribs are rhe same quality each time. read more

My sister ordered a kids brisket for her 1 1/2 year old and they gave us a peace that was 70% fat. We nicely explained that to the worker and he was very rude and refused to give us another small less fatty piece, mind you we're ordering for a toddler not like he's eating much. This is a cute mall where people bring their kids and no worker should be treating their customers like him. Hope to hear from management as this behavior is unacceptable and refusing to share your name when calmly and respectfully asked is crazy!!! read more
