I had the wings and tried the warm banana bread pudding. The wings were excellent and the bread pudding disappointing. The Carolina Spice wings were hot and flavourful. The size was bigger than most places and the order includes fries. The fries were good too. When you get there, you order, sit down, and they bring your food to the table. This isn't bad except you have to pay before you sit. You have no idea what kind of service you will get thus can't make a good guess on the quality of service. Since this was my first time there, I was clueless and did the traditional 15% read more

Very good wings. The wife loves the ribs and there is something about the fries. Betcha can't eat one. ;-) read more

Love this place! The Carnivore Platter was enough to feed 6 of us with fries and corn bread as sides. They were also happy to substitute the pulled pork for an extra brisket (we just don't like pulled pork in general). The brisket is to die for and i always buy a bottle of the sauce they put on it so that i can use it at home. We usually go Sunday afternoons after church and we've never seen it too busy read more

Was excited to order from them as they delivered with uberEats. The reviews were great, we had people over so thought why not. Gonna review per item: - Smoked Wings in honey garlic sauce I think - AMAZING the most yummy. - The Ribs - the meat was falling off the bone yes, but the bbq sauce was bitter. Prefer the Baton Rouge ribs EVEN SWISS CHALET ones on a good day. the bitterness was really wack, more than 1/2 still in the box. - The Brisket Tacos - pretty yum. The brisket cooked nicely - taco trimmings. Spicy sauce. 2nd fave of the night. - The pulled Chicken sandwhich --- same sauce as the ribs.. all the meat is cooked nicely and juicy, the bitter sauce ruined. I wish we had the sauce on the side, what a waste of meat. The chicken sandwhich is also more than half wasted. Sides - fries - alright nothing special. - corn bread - not bad, average tho, have had better at copacabana lol. - mac n cheese - not bad, avg, the blue menu from pc frozen mac n cheese is better lol. Overall the experience was average. If I ever went back, it would probably be for the smoked wings or the brisket tacos. D read more

Soft taco combo is a good value, great smoky pulled pork, excellent onion rings. Comfortable seating. Can get busy at lunchtime when the local high school students arrive. read more

This was our first time here but won't be our last. I shared the Jr Pig Out Platter with my husband and we are taking food home for my lunch tomorrow. . The beef brisket was so tender and the ribs and wings were perfect. We shared our fries with our daughter and hardly got any - and she's not a big fry person. Her pulled pork was just how she likes it. read more

Ribs were burnt, beans were bland, burger only had the meat in it (no toppings), fries were so old tasting. Overall shit

I have to give one star but really it deserves a -0 this food was absolutely disgusting you should not want to throw up just by smelling the food the cook and owners need to rethink there are recipes read more

My husband and I just finished eating the Jr. Pig Out Platter. You get 1 lb of beef brisket, 8 ribs 8 wings 2 coleslaws, 2 pickles and 2 trimmings, so for the trimmings we got the Mac n Cheese an the onion rings.We also orders a large Caesar Salad. The food was pretty good, The Mac n Cheese was really cheesy and really good. The brisket,ribs and the wings sauce was really good, it was sweet but with a bit of a kick to it. We also ordered Pulled Pork sandwich for our son I tried a bit of that it was really juicy and good too. The bun was really soggy so he ate it with a fork .lol over all I would go back. read more

Pig Out Bbq - Jr Pig Out Platter take out for two - Barbeque Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

This is one of my favorite places to go to for a legitimate meal. The pulled pork dinner has yet to disappoint me and my buddies who come here. The service is great and the flavor of the food keeps telling me to order more, even though I'm full! I feel that the exposure of the restaurant is the only thing that prevents people from lining up outside, since it sits deep in that plaza on Kingston road. Overall a great experience! read more

So, haven't been to pig out in awhile, in the past has always been a 3- 3.5 star place, food great,service good, little pricey, slow when busy. Well, I think it's been bought and sold to new owners, because there have some BIG changes in food quality, and pricing. Service, was fast and friendly, the gentleman who was making my boneless rib sandwich, I'm pretty sure had never made a BBQsandwich before, completely inept. The large mac and cheese came out of the fridge and was put in Tupperware and nuked. I'm not sure, but I think it was powdered cheese, poor quality,and they wanted 6.95 for this abomination. My 9 year old can make better mac n cheese. All in all they wanted 18.95!!for a rib sandwich, and large mac and cheese,I would be embarrassed to give away to one of my beer buddies. Thanks for gut punch! I will never be back. read more

Used to go here all the time but their food safety has gone to shit. Recently found plastic in my food and the owners response was that it was busy (there was only 6 people in the restaurant at the time). I asked for a refund as I hadn't even touched my food luckily I found the plastic when I was presented my food and he refunded my food, I asked him what about the drink I ordered; his response was that oh didn't you drink it? I pointed to the unopened can of drink that I had returned to the kitchen with my food and he reluctantly gave me a refund on my soda. If they have this attitude to customers finding foreign objects in their food; imagine the other health violations at this restaurant. read more

This was one of the worst dinners I have had in my adult life. Bill for two adults and two kids exceeded $79.00. (Chicken Tenders Dinner, Kids MAC and Cheese, Dirty Burger, and Beef Brisket dinner with drinks) If that wasn't enough, when It finally arrived, there was little edible meat. I spent time sifting through it and what looked like beef was layered in mushy fat. Mostly blubber. They are new management. When I told them I was unhappy with paying $25.00 for a plate of fat with sauce on it, the man took 10 min calling the manager only to return and give me $5. Insulting; and he said it was "because you ate some of it." I assured him it was not edible. In either case I will never eat at Pickering Pig Out ever again. read more

After a recommendation from a friend, I went to Pig Out BBQ for lunch yesterday, & while I was a little concerned after reading some of the reviews, I decided to go ahead & try them out anyway. As it turns out, my apprehension was well-founded. This place is in southwest Pickering, & since I live in northwest Whitby, it was quite a bit further than I normally go for lunch, but since I had some errands to do in Ajax, it all worked out. They're located in a small plaza on Kingston Rd, & when I walked in, the atmosphere was casual, but tastefully decorated. I checked out the menu on the wall, but had to inquire about combos, since they weren't listed anywhere. It only listed a la carte prices for the sandwiches, sides & beverages. I ordered the brisket sandwich combo with fries & a can of pop, which came to just over $12 with taxes. I sat down to wait, & after a few minutes they brought my food out to me. I ordered my sandwich plain with their spicy BBQ sauce on the side for dipping, as I like to taste the BBQ before adding any sauce (when the BBQ is really good, I don't even use the sauce). Their brisket wasn't sliced like traditional brisket, but rather broken up into large chunks, which is different, & I can't say that I cared for it, because the chunks kept falling out of the bun, whereas the slices stay where they're supposed to. The brisket itself wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't remarkable in any way, either. There were some inconsistencies in that some pieces were a bit dry & tough, & others were softer & more tender. There was no smoke ring, & only minimal flavour, which was disappointing. The spicy BBQ sauce had a good kick, & wasn't bad, which was good because I needed to use quite a bit of it on my sandwich. The fries were hot & crispy, but sadly, they were frozen rather than fresh-cut. If a place is going to take the trouble to make BBQ, cooked low & slow with pride, then using frozen fries seems in direct contrast with this philosophy. The coleslaw wasn't bad, & the pickle spear was crisp & fresh, but that doesn't help much when the brisket sandwich was a big disappointment. It looks like I'm going to have to take my buddy to Buster Rhino's so that he can see what real BBQ is supposed to taste like. read more

We made a dinner reservation at Pig Out for 12 people. We showed up early and ordered our food shortly after. We then waited 50 minutes before any food was delivered. Even a milkshake took 20 minutes to come. We watched every other customer and table that came in after us be served before us. At the 35 or 40 minute mark, we asked the owner what the status of our food was and she had the audacity to look annoyed that we even asked. She said that our order was coming up "next" but then served two other tables before us. When the food finally came, it looked amazing. The brisket was delicious and so was the mac & cheese. But the ribs and pulled pork, which made up the bulk of our order, were dry and overcooked. Although the portions are good and the prices reasonable, save yourself the trouble and visit the Licks or Crabby Joes in the same plaza! read more

Have always been curious about this place. Tucked away behind these bigger franchise is a gem. On my trips to Texas, always yearned for a great BBQ. This place is the best I have managed to find. We got the Pig's platter for four to five people. It was a lot more generous. We have enough for seconds tomorrow. The ribs, brisket and wings are perfectly tender and delicious. I highly recommend this place for family dining or having a party. They deliver too. Excellent read more

Really good sized pulled pork sandwich for $3.95 ($3.99?) because of their Monday special. Even though today is Victoria Day, Monday special still applies. Comes with a saran wrap covered pickle spear. Pulled pork is fairly good. Had the smokey style. Also comes in sweet or spicy. Bun was a tad too soft for my liking. Good amount of pork. For that price, definitely a cheap eat. Regular price $5.95. read more

Not even in the top 20 Bbq joints. EXTREMELY dry poor quality meat. Must have cooked it several days in advance.

I was raised in the Southern U.S. After having married a Canadian and moved to Toronto, I sometimes find I miss BBQ. This place was like going home. The food was very good and the man who waited on us went out of his way to charm our 4-year old daughter. (She was crying because she thought we were going to Licks to get a hotdog.) He had her smiling in minutes. She proclaimed the mac and cheese to be the "best ever." We had the pulled pork sandwiches. The serving size was huge. We actually got two meals out of it. The only suggestion I have (and I mentioned it to the chef) is that sometimes in the south we served sweet potato fries with melted butter combined with honey and cinnamon. I think I have a secret hope that sauce will be added to the menu as an option. UPDATE: Ordered delivery from them tonight. Took 80 minutes, three phone calls and when the delivery arrived, he failed to have the credit card receipt for me to sign. The food was cold and everyone I spoke to was pretty rude. Not sure what was going on. This is unlike my previous experiences. read more

They Have great food. However if you order to go 10/10 times they will forget to pack something you have paid for. Food is worth hassel. Just make sure to have tour own forks, napkins and check your order before leaving! read more

When you hear of a BBQ food spot in the middle of Pickering, you don't usually have a high expectation. Having tried a lot of BBQ pits down south in the states, I do have a high expectation when it comes to quality of the meat and sauce. When it comes to quality of the meat and sauce, it's average to below average. I mean, I wasn't expecting something exceptional and I was right to assume so. I tend to judge a BBQ pit based on the quality of the pulled pork and in this case, it was just average. The meat was a little over cooked and sauce wasn't that flavourful. The beef brisket, ribs and wings were mediocre as well. I should praise the Mac n' Cheese, the bacon bits on top just made it all the more better. In terms of quantity, you will be blown away because man it's a lot of food. The serving sizes are classic southern styled and we had left overs after sharing a JR. Pig Platter and a Pulled Pork Meal between 4 people. So that's a bonus! Service was great and the one girl server we had was really nice. Seating is limited so if you have large groups, make sure you call in advance. read more

I went there a few years ago and we have never been back. We were served raw chicken and horrible dry ribs. I see some great reviews and some really bad reviews. I think it is hit and miss with this place. And I think I will keep my money and pass. read more

I love pig out, the food is yummy!! I'm a huge fan of the hamburgers and sweet potato fries. The thing I love the most is that you get pickles with your meal and the pickles are so addicting. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The place is also decorated really cute with all the little piggies. It's a good BBQ joint, people who bad mouth them are just being over critical. I'm picky and trust me the food and service is good!! A+ pig out!!! read more

I want to congratulate the owner of this establishment as he/she did a great job hiring the staff. They are soooooo wonderful and friendly. Not only is the staff wonderful.... The food is as well. It's affordable and very good portion sizes. read more

Had the daily special this Sunday - the Canadian burger - mozzarella, 2 types of bacon, hand cut chips, big patty. With fries for just $11. Loved it. Was so big I couldn't get my mouth around it would love to go back read more

Went with my wife to this place for what else, good BBQ, the food was good, not great and the atmosphere was tolerable. Considering the options for BBQ style food in this area, we would go again. read more

We enjoyed lunch with a group of 6. Some good barbecue items. It's really good for the area. Super casual. The only thing we complained about were the water glasses (not sure if the dishwasher didn't work or the glasses need replacing or cleaning). I do miss Buster Rhino's though. read more

I wish I knew it existed sooner. We drive by daily but never came til last week. Their smoked BBQ is actually genuinely smoked, and very good. Decor is nice, service is good although its " a la fast food" ordering and then they being you the plate. The staff seems to be all family, and they are happy to serve. I loved the BBQ porch ribs, I may try the beef brusque next time. Certainly worth the 15$ and I will be back soon read more

We went to this restaurant because it had pretty good reviews. The brisket sandwich was full of fat, and the Mac and cheese was basically kraft dinner. The pulled pork was pretty fatty too, the sausage was good. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates good barbecue. read more

Whenever I'm in Scarborough or Pickering, I love hitting up this spot for a pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries. I always get me a side of corn bread to go - and if I'm feeling like a real fatty, I'll order the warm banana bread with ice cream. Love it love it love it! read more

Amazing!! Not only one of my favourite restaurants in the Durham region but also my favourite BBQ joint!!! I've been to many and this one, in my opinion, is the best! To boot.. Best bang for your buck as well. Can't beat it!! read more

10/10 BBQ. Got the pig out platter for 70$ and it was WELL WORTH IT. Came with wings, ribs, sausage, brisket, pulled pork and 3 sides, plenty of food for 4/5 people. The sauces were delish and overall was worth the money. My only complaint is EXTREMELY overpriced cornbread, I'm talking almost 4$ a slice for terrible quality. If your in the mood for some BBQ try this please you won't regret it! read more

Went for dinner here last night with my husband and he had the Beef Brisket. It is the best Beef Brisket in Pickering. Perfectly moist and crispy edges. I had the Nacho Fries and that was amazing. It has beef brisket on it as well as nacho topping. We had the Pulled Pork sandwiches before here and they were good too. read more

I went to Pig Out BBQ and thought it was okay. Sometimes I want to explore signature sauces and flavors. This place lacked the special tastes I crave. read more

Went for dinner with the wife and a couple of friends around 8pm one evening. We were 1 of 3 couples in a very nice looking establishment. We ordered 2 Jr. Pig Out Platters which consist of 1 lb of ribs, beef brisket, 1 lb of wings Choice of 2 trimmings, coleslaw, pickles. We got the baked beans and mac & cheese. The server who took our order was very nice and very helpful when we inquired about sauces for our wings. The food took about 6 mins from the time we sat until the platter hit our table. My wife attacked the mac & cheese which was simply prepared but deliciously layered with warm melted cheese throughout. Let's just say I was lucky to have received a few bites! The meat, DELICIOUS........ I personally own a smoker and smoke meat regularly and the 1 thing I can say that really stood out is that the meat was not over smoked. There was a delicate balance of smoke to bbq flavor which we all enjoyed. We gave it our best effort but ended up taking home enough food for another meal the next day which we were both thrilled about. In short, you must eat here and I believe they are open till 3am on the weekends. Enjoy read more

Ate at the Toronto location a few times. I love there pulled pork sandwiches, the best I have had in a while. However the rest of the food I found hasn't been anything really special. I recently had the Jr pig out BBQ platter the ribs and wings were great wasn't so fond of the beef brisket and the French fries I had on the side were way overfried won't be eating those again rather just go to the food truck down the street. read more

My wife and I come here often on our way back from working in Markham. Like a craving, the brisket is amazing. She does the pulled pork. All so good. Great quality and great service. Not sure what else to say it's just a great spot to eat. read more

Second time there, but we also bought the big platter for take out once. Love the place. The brisket beef is very tasty, and just falls apart. Fries are very good, and the coke is ice cold. So much meat, I had to take a doggie bag - well, a styrofoam container. And the cole slaw is edible, unlike most places where it seems to be all vinegar. The wooden chairs are a bit wobbly. They should tighten them up a bit. Sit in the padded arm chairs if you can. They have a cool line of glass, plastic and china pigs on the counter. Everybody seems to have a favourite. I left my phone there today, and one of the staff brought it out right away, before I drove away. Very friendly staff. Wouldn't mind if they had another sauce to pick from. Not a problem, but the choice would be good. Will certainly go back. read more

This was our first time at Pig Out and we will certainly come back when we're around. Great food and very friendly staff.
