Great bbq in Helen! After getting out the river we decided to stop by for lunch since they're located right across the street from Cool Rivers. We honestly had very low expectations with Helen being such a touristy town but we were def in for a treat! The staff and even locals were super sweet and friendly. My husband can make friends everywhere but one of the locals was just extra friendly this visit and made us feel very welcomed. I forget what the special was this day but we got a little of everything plus the special. They also have mini melts for the kiddos. Y'all when I say EVERYTHING was good, everything was VERY GOOD. Maybe because we had low expectations, or we were hungry, or we were influenced by the friendliness, but we were extremely surprised. Everything was seasoned well, bbq'd well, cooked well. I don't normally order chicken because of the high percentage it will be dry, but i did and the chicken was divineee. Crispy smoky skin and juicy tender meat. Very well done. Ribs, amazing. If I had to complain about anything it would be the brisket. We ordered our brisket sliced though it came sliced/shredded and could have used a little more smoke. Though still very tasty. Upon walking out the ladies up front asked how our meal was and my husband told them it was "actually good". Poor verbiage on his part, APOLOGIES!, but our expectations were so low and Flying Pig just blew us out of the park we had no words. Our whole experience was great and we would not hesitate to stop by, or recommend, the next time we are in town. read more

Good wings. Good sausages. Good fries. Good beans. We had the dog on a sunny Friday evening in early April: so we sat outside, but were not forgotten! Outdoor seating at both ends of the building: one end under a roof, one under the sun. Indoor seating, too, but we did not avail ourselves thereof. My first time here, but found out my kids have eaten here often with the youth group. read more

Food is good at very economical prices. The collard greens are the best I've ever had! The food came out quickly and hot. Big screen TVs played with country music videos while you're eating. There's inside and outside seating and on a nice day sitting outside makes the food even better! read more

Real Southern Style BBQ in Helen, Ga.? You betcha, yes I was a little surprised but after looking at the reviews and photos on Yelp we decided to give these guys a try. We stopped in for a late lunch so as expected this place wasn't very busy, a few customers on the outdoor covered patio and a few inside in the A/C. We were met at the counter by the super friendly and amazing Taylor - so much pressure spontaneously ordering at the counter since there is a plethora of meats and sides so she suggested we grab a few menus and find a seat while we looked over the offerings. This restaurant is a beauty and so clean and offers a great environment to grab a great meal. Finally the decision is in and we were ready to place our orders with a mix of meats so we could share - Pulled Pork (it comes without sauce) which I prefer so I can choose the sauce I like big plus in my opinion, Smoked Sliced Turkey large portions sliced thick, melt in your mouth tender, moist and one of the best smoked Turkey I've had in ages, fries, coleslaw and mac n cheese served with Texas toast and bottomless drinks. All this delicious food and I paid less than I did for breakfast a few blocks up the road, the quality and value is here. I am so glad we stopped in it was a great experience and it checks all the boxes so why go Bavarian in Helen when you can have BBQ... Pay cash and avoid the credit card fees - CASH IS KING! read more

Food was AMAZING!! Ribs are great, fries are perfect, and the complimentary Texas toast is a great add on. Service as well as all employees are also wonderful, Kyle in specific is great. One of the exits to the tubing is right next to it so it's location as well as the fact that you can walk in, order, and be served in as little as 15 minutes is extremely convenient. Very chill BBQ atmosphere often proves to distress after a long morning/day. Highly revome read more

This was our first Xmas in GA and we spent it in Helen - not a lot was open on Xmas day but the day after, we walked here after exploring the main thoroughfare in Helen. It's on the other side of the main street so definitely less crowds bc of that. It was an excellent choice - we all tried different items - pulled pork , rotisserie chicken and smoked carved turkey breast - all were so delicious - and wow oh wow the sweet potato waffle fries were soooo good. Prices were reasonable, hearty portions , cute place - so glad we had some good ol southern BBQ! read more

Pink PiG Southern BBQ - Smoked turkey sandwich with sweet potato fries yuuuummmm... - Southern Near Me - Helen, Georgia

The food was so good and I loved the sides. The sauces were to die for and I loved the pulled pork. We ordered to go since we had a long day and wanted to be back at the time share. But it was such a cute place and we may go back and eat in at some point in time this week. The people at the counter were amazing and helped us pick exactly what the family needed for dinner. read more

I really wanted to like this place! It is a small place with limited seating. It is counter service. I had the pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw and a side of collard greens. The pork was minced nicely but the flavor was just okay. The Cole slaw was delicious. The collard greens were horrible. They were cooked good but way under seasoned. My husband had the smoked turkey and he said it was mediocre. My friend had the platter special that brought ribs and some other meat and potato salad. She too, said it was just okay. I'm not sure that I would recommend this place. It was our first meal in Helen and it was during a busy time after Christmas. Maybe it's better when they are not so busy. Take a chance ... read more

Pulled pork meal was delicious. Pork was tasty and a good size portion. Sides were amazing including BBQ beans, Mac and cheese and Brunswick stew. Texas toast was crispy. We'll be back!!! The Reids from Tampa read more

We loved this place! The prices are fair and on par with BBQ places way down south where we're from, and not the south south, but south Florida. The side portions were smaller but INCREDIBLE. The food was hot, fresh, and ALL and I mean ALL of their sauces were AMAZINGGGGGGGG. We used literally all of them, i smeared the Alabama white allll over my bun, and dipped into the sweet, and the tangy sauces... THEN we dipped in the slop. Just really happy to have given this place a try. I also used the restroom which was so very clean. read more

Decided we'd check the place out because I love brisket and sweet potato fries. We were not disappointed. They have some of the best brisket I've ever eaten. When on vacation I never go to the same restaurant twice so we can shop around. Had to break that rule. Soooooo good. I love the garage doors in the front that open up to the patio. November is perfect weather to eat smoked brisket outside with a cold beer. They even were playing the Dawgs game. read more

Right across from the tubing. My family and I stopped in. I ordered the brisket plate with Mac and cheese and collard greens with sweet tea. The brisket was good the Mac and cheese was different but not bad and the collard greens were really good. The place was pretty busy but service was pretty quick. It's a smaller place with seating on the out side and only 8 tables inside. read more

This is fall off the bone ribs! Amazing! I was expecting a tourist rib place. It's not. This is out of the park amazing ribs! To die happy for! The service is awesome! I wish I could rate it higher read more

Came here for the first time on Friday to try this place out. The inside and outside seating and decor are quite lovely. It's extremely clean and upscale feeling for a bbq place. Tried their food and have some mixed reviews. The bologna burnt ends were tasty however they needed something else. I would have probably coating them in syrup or some maple with brown butter to get them sticky and coated so they're more of a sweet and smoky. The chicken burrito was quite good and was a highlight of the meal for sure and only 12$. The people I was with got the bbq pork sand which and the pork was very good However I feel the price and portion is off. Strangely enough I think they should charge 14-15$ instead of 12$ for the sandwhich and add more meat to make it a more filling meal. Definitely give this place a shot and try it out read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in here in between wine tastings. The location looks like a log cabin just outside of the Germantown of Helena. The staff was very friendly. The dining room had picnic tables. There was a self-serve area for their variety of losses. We got a number of meats. We also got a sampling of all of these sauces. Nothing was bad. The pulled pork was a little dry but had some good smoke flavor. The ribs pulled from the bone pretty cleanly though could have been trimmed or had the fat rendered a little bit more. The solid BBQ spot but not the best read more

All good, great people too! One of us had pulled pork and the other smoked turkey. Turkey really tender...

The service and ambiance were great!! The food was also very yummy. My only complaint would be the pulled pork was a little dry, however I slapped some bbq sauce on there and that made it perfect. I will definitely be back! read more

Great brisket and prime rib is the best. Service was fast and friendly. Tatar Tuesday has great stuffed baked potatoes

This place looked good and sounded good. I ordered a chicken basket and yes I know it's a BBQ place but I ordered a chicken basket and got 3 strips for 11 dollars and the food was terrible it looked and sounded good but I was not and it was way to expensive 5 dollars for a tiny cup of mac and cheese. I love mac and cheese but this Mac and cheese was terrible read more

A++, best brisket sandwich I've ever had!! Would definitely recommend if you're ever in Helen

The BBQ was like that of my childhood. The smoke line was amazing. The ribs were fall off the bones. The brisket melted in your mouth. Our table got one of everything and shared some generous sides. Nothing disappointed. It's super clean and there was a tv to catch the playoff games. And they didn't even care that I was screaming for Alabama to win. If you're in Helen, skip the German food and grab some of the best bbq I've ever had. read more

We visited here on 11/9/24 about 11 am There was only about 3 tables in use. We ordered Brisket Sandwich and Mac and Cheese, and Pork BBQ sandwich with fries. The first thing we noticed was none of our food was even warm except the Mac and cheese. The Brisket was so dry we tried BBQ sauce it did not help and same for the pork sandwich but also on the bottom the meat was burned black and hard The meat was not hot jucy moist etc. We wonder did they serve us meat leftover from the prior day. $35 for the two meals both of which we left mostly uneaten. This is the reason for the negative review. I wish I good leave no stars read more

Great food! We were surprised to see a new name on the sign. The pulled pork, brisket, fries, and slaw were all delicious. Glad we have good bbq back in Helen! read more

Customer service was nice but we went around 6pm and ordered I got the rib plate an my bf got the sausage plate. My fries I ordered were old and greasy my ribs were a little try on top, The Mac n cheese I got as my other side was fairly decent. My bf didn't even eat his food at all sausages old a greasy and cold he said they tasted like they been sitting in old bowl of grease . I feel like maybe it was just a bad day for them. I might try again possibly one day but for now me and my bf are weary of this place. The atmosphere was nice and customer service was nice an I feel like they have some potential but the day we went was just EW! Made my bf sicker than than ever! read more

Was not what I expected. Really cute place, but small. You order at the counter there's no server. The young lady was nice. The was okay, Luke warm to cold depending on with of us you ask. The sides were not good. They could have cut more of the stems off the collard greens. Ribs could use some flavoring, the smoked bologna was like saltlick, brisket had very little flavor. The best thing for us was the fries. I really expected better. read more
