I put alot of faith in 1st impressions as to what the remainder of the experience will be. It didn't fail me on this visit. When I walked in the door I was met with less than enthusiastic staff. No personality at all. I hate talking bad about staff. Most work real hard, maybe it was just a bad day. I ordered the large pork bbq sandwich with slaw and a chopped brisket (what?) sandwich with slaw. And a side of baked beans (pint). The bun was very stiff and the brisket had no smoke smell or flavor. This is why I don't care for chopped brisket. You can't see the smoke ring or crust which is why I'm not sure what the cut was. It was a bit dry and chewy. The pint of beans had no flavor either. They seemed like they came from a can. The pork bbq was the same. For the price I paid for 3 sandwiches it definitely was not a good value. I'm afraid I can't give you a good review on this visit. Poor impression and poor brisket. Lethal combination. read more

I really liked the big portions that they give for the sandwiches. The cheese fries side was also ample and delicious. The hush puppies were good, as was the corn nuggets, which I LOVE, but it definitely isn't as generous as the fries are. The sandwiches were really tasty. The pulled pork was good, but I think the fried bologna was amazing. The bologna was super thick, charred, and topped with onions and peppers and cheese. It tasted like the most interesting Philly cheesesteak I have ever had. I will definitely crave this again. The cheese fries were really good, plentiful, and they had a slightly spicy kick, like maybe there was some jalapeño juice in the cheese? So good! The food is pretty inexpensive too considering. A sandwich piled high with pulled pork and coleslaw sets you back around $8, and add a few dollars more to get a fountain soda and a side. The bbq sauces were good, but nothing insane. I couldn't tell the difference between their sweet and spicy sauces, but the sweet peach one is pretty unique and tasty. I ordered a bag of pork rinds to take home and they were just okay. I've had some really spectacular ones that are made fresh, and these were made the day prior, so they were good, just lacking the warm, fluffy, melt in your mouth goodness that Hogshead has. I probably won't order them again, even though I did like the smoky seasoning blend they put on top. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is very clean, and the lady taking our order was very nice and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back. read more

Great food- pork, brisket,okra,hush puppies,vegetables &sweet tea!!! exceptional food for the price. Hoping to go back next weekend!

It was absolutely delicious. Special of the day was Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese with bacon. It did not disappoint. The fries are outstanding too. read more

The prices are amazing, especially in this economy! And the portions are great. We couldn't finish our food even though we wanted to. The food was delicious, I'm biased towards BBQ but I loved it. I wasn't sure about trying a fried pickle (because I dislike pickles) but I tried one and it was AMAZING. It was my favorite side. The fried food sits heavy (as any fried food), but it was worth it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute atmosphere too, would totally come again if we're in the area![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Smok N Pigz BBQ - Chicken, baked beans, fries, hush puppies - Food Trucks Near Me - Powhatan, Virginia

Finally was able to visit the Smok N Pigz BBQ restaurant and I was absolutely pleased with the perfect BBQ. I'm very finicky and they allowed me to taste before we purchased and I am so thrilled I now have a place to buy BBQ the way it should be made! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was also very clean , organized, and we were treated with genuine hospitality![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lastly they also have a butcher side where we purchased fresh pork sausage and it also was very good when we fixed it up for breakfast the next day. We will be back again and again. Thanks yall for treating some first timers so warmly! read more

I love Smok N Pigz BB the only place I get BBQ from. The best anywhere around great taste and great price. When my son comes to visit from out of town he says make sure you get some of the good BBQ. I always do. read more

Where has this been hiding?! We had lunch on a Friday and each had the pulled pork sandwich w/cole slaw and cheese fries. Easily 2 meals for me. A little too much bread for my taste, but they do not skimp on the meat. Big chunks of tender pork, yummy! Order taken by very welcoming and friendly staff and then brought in its own takeout container - like a backyard BBQ. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Table tops inside and picnic table outside under an expansive white cover.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices very amenable to the food portions you get. We will back and back and back.., read more

I eat a lot of BBQ around the country and this place ranks probably in the top 5 nationwide. We had, pork, chicken and brisket, along with some of their featured sides. The red potatoes were simply fantastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean, and the staff very accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will return next time we are in the area. read more

This is nearly a weekly routine for us. It's the best smoked meats we know. The smoked wings are each a full 3-section chicken wing. We love their Memphis heat bbq sauce and we love their Carolina style sauce. Good fries. Good fried okra and great corn nuggets. They might be called corn fritters. And we ALWAYS get a limeade for each of us. My 6'5" husband gets a pork bbq and there is enough in the Jr version of that burger that he never has to order the larger sandwich. I also have had their smoked 1:2 chicken and the ribs. We've tried nearly everything and would recommend any of it. You can't go wrong. Sweet employees. The owner is usually on premises. The bldg is shared with a butcher shop and they also sell some of the best desserts (made locally) in Powhatan. I truly hate posting this honest review, because I don't want all yall in line in front of us. We've had Memphis BBQ, St Louis BBQ, Carolina Bbq and Pierce's in Williamsburg, but Smok n Pigz BBQ is definitely best. read more

Delicious food and nice, friendly owners. Enjoyed bbq with rolls, slaw, fries. Everyone raves about how great it was. Price was good too for such great food. Will definitely order again. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch with my dad and we both enjoyed the brisket sandwich. It was very nice to get to talk bbq with the owner and hear how it all started for him. Keep the smoke rolling clean guys. Would recommend and we'll be back. read more

Great food, great service, great people. They catered our daughter's graduation party, and the food was a hit. I was very surprised at how affordable it was for the number of people we were feeding. They definitely don't try to teach you, we had a ton of food left over. The pulled pork was great and their sauce is awesome. Everybody loved the sides as well - slaw, baked beans and mac & cheese were all winners. read more

Chose Smok N Pigz to serve at a graduation party and I was very pleased that we chose them. Nothing but positive feedback from all of our friends who wanted business cards so they could their events in the future. The brisket and pulled pork are equally good and the homemade sauces are AWESOME! read more

I stopped by after reading the reviews for some ribs to take home. I got two half rack dinners, one spicy and one sweet. My spicy ribs were not done. The meat was tough, hardly any sauce and no bone showing from being undercooked. The sweet rack my wife got was cooked properly. You could bite through the meat. So after this experience will I come back? Afraid not, there are better options out there. read more

Don't order the brisket. Dry, tough meat. Disappointed. Is there quality control for this place? One would think the servers can see the quality of the meat as they are making the sandwich. My daughter liked her pulled chicken sandwich. Fries and hush puppies were good. Don't know if I will be back. read more

I got a pound each of sliced brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. I was disappointed in each. The pros: Price wasn't too bad and the meat was tender. However, the brisket had at most a 1/16" smoke ring and no crust... like they used 50cents worth of rub on it, smoked for 20 minutes, then put in a pressure cooker. The pork and chicken were similar... tender but flavorless as if they had been steamed. read more

Good food! Nice to have different options with your BBQ like the cheese fries and corn nuggets. Give it a try!

We've been on the search for good BBQ near us and hit upon this little gem on Hwy 60 near the Food Lion in Powhatan. Their BBQ pork sandwich was loaded with delicious, tender pork and their sides were spot on. Try them out-- you won't be disappointed! Joanne H. read more

I was excited to try this place since it's not far from my house. They were friendly and I like the set up inside. I got a pound of pork and a pound of chicken. The pulled pork is just OK, some good smoke on it. The chicken is really disappointing, no smoke flavoring and not one drop of seasoning. Like baby food bland chicken and found bones in it. And there's bones in the pork, come on man! read more

We were driving down route 60 and had barbecue on our minds and we spotted this place. Super nice and friendly staff. We ordered a pound of brisket which comes chopped or sliced, two pulled pork barbecue sandwiches, hush puppies and fried. All of the portions are generous and delicious. Pricing is really affordable for what you get. The brisket and pulled pork barbecue were on point and the fries and hush puppies were perfectly crispy. I asked about sauce and the guy gave me a fat stack variety of their house-made sauces. Which were all flavorful and different (in a good way). We sat outside at picnic tables because indoor dining is closed due to Covid. Definitely recommend supporting this small business during these times. It was just what we wanted! read more

When I don't make my own barbecue, I frequent Smok N Pigz BBQ. Prices are in line with locals, and their spicy vinegar sauce is amazing. Also be sure to try out the cole slaw. It's a solid 4 for me. read more

This is a great little place..my only negative comment would be the soda is awful! Everything else we have had is very good!!

Unless you have your own smoker and have the time to smoke your own bbq, this place is the best for the price any where near the area, mission BBQ is the only other place that can compete with this place and smoke n got the best ribs. read more

Smok N Pigz BBQ - the ribs in a basket - Food Trucks Near Me - Powhatan, Virginia

We Love their food. Brisket is good and so is the pork. But by far our favorite is the Chicken Wings we live them. We always get extra so we can a few the next day. Had them make up a few big orders for Birthday Parties and when we had family come in from out of town. Excellent job and plenty of food!! read more

Our go to place for BBQ! Great portions & prices are good! Friendly staff & Food is always delicious!

Great BBQ and you have to get the red potatoes! Quaint, clean place inside and room for folks to sit down. Even the fries were delicious. Adding this to PVA places to re-visit!!! read more

Just had the quesadillas. YUMMO...These are fantastic. We got one of each and they're both equally good. What a great idea to add these to your menu. And to add a little spice, we added some of the spicy red. Can't wait to try your smoked hamburger. Of course, must add a fried egg. read more

This eatery is awesome, great food, so clean and neat. Friendly and efficient staff. Definitely recommend!

Love love love this BBQ... back for 2nd time. We plan to ha be them cater our holiday party for 100+ people!

We got bbq from here for a party we had and it was a huge hit! We had eaten here before and it was so good, so it was a no brainer to share the goodness with our family and friends! We will be back! read more

Great food. Friendly service. Take-out only due to Pandemic, but outdoor picnic tables were provided out front. For us, it was too cold and windy for picnic eating. The corn nuggets, hush puppies, potatoes and pulled pork sandwich were EXCELLENT. The baked beans were good, but nothing to write home about. read more

This place is fantastic! My husband and I are pretty picky about bbq and we tried it & loved it. We stopped in one night to try it just on a whim. The staff was super friendly! We got a few things to go, the pork bbq & chicken bbq and we took 1 if each of the sauces. Everything was delicious, the meats were perfect and not fatty. Cole slaw was fresh & light! It will definitely be one of our new go-tos. read more

Just ate here for lunch for the first time and I must say, the food, service and staff were excellent! The ribs and hush puppies were dynamite! I will definitely be back and if you haven't checked thus place out, you definitely should! read more

I've been three times and the food is good. The ladies behind the counter are always smiling. It's small inside but it works.
