Please keep in mind that this review is ONLY for the specific meal I had today, to-go from Smokey Pig in Phenix City, AL. The atmosphere was standard ALA-GA. BBQ joint. It is clean and comfortable. Markedly, the two great ladies who were working at the he time were splendid, so very sweet and helpful. HOWEVER: my first job was at one of the Crown Jewels of the BBQ scene in the twin cities of Columbus,GA/Phenix City,AL...I am way biased Orded a "chipped BBQ" PLATE. i.e. knife chopped finely. The meat I got had been through, (mortal sin) A food processer. (GASP!) The texture is very off putting and like over cooked loose hamburger. Gravelly and gritty in the mouth. Sauce added, a basic mustard based BBQ sauce. Not great, not awful. The Brunswick stew was...well...NOT. it was the same ground up meat in a liquid more like chili soup with corn than any actual Brunswick stew. I LOVE good Brunswick Stew, this swill was pretty awful. Suggestions: throw that food processor in the fire pit before it destroys your business. I am sure the sliced meat is better at least. Once again, thanks to the so sweet Southern Ladies. read more

Service impeccable, the restaurant was clean. Best part food wash delicious. Different type of sauce but was very tasty.

My favorite place to eat since I was a little girl. The food is always delicious and fresh.

This was the worst customer service I've ever experienced. My husband went there to buy a chipped sandwich with no slaw, pickles, and no sauce for my dog. The issue is it was loaded with sauce. I called and was told the chipped meat sits in sauce. I asked why they didn't tell my husband that and he wouldn't have bought it. I was told I had to call the manager tomorrow. I called and got the rudest no named man. I really thought he'd make it right and just give me a sandwich with no sauce. He said he didn't have to talk to me and hung up. I won't be going back. I DO NOT RECOMMEND because I feel if I'm paying my money, I should be able to get a sandwich or anything else like I want it. read more

Awesome barbecue! Sandwiches. Ribs, barbecue slaw, potato salad! Everything is great!

I have been here 5 times. The first two times they were out of 3 items. The 4th time I didn't get an item I ordered and did not feel like driving back. The last time I was in they once gain messed up the order. I got something I didn't order. Drove back 10 minutes later and was asked to present my receipt. Never did they apologize ...just gave me the right item and told me to have a beer day. This isn't rocket science.... read more

So many good memories here. You have to be a fan of mustard-based sauces, but if you are, then it's a wonderful meal. The Brunswick stew is a must have. Get the pulled pork sandwich, some beans, and a side of the stew. read more

Moved away but whenever we're back in town this is one of the first places we eat at just love the stew nothing like it anywhere else and and excellent meats. read more

I really wanted to give it more than 1 star. Not being from here maybe I just need to get used to the mustard style bbq taste that the food was doused in . Upon walking in they weren't really friendly. The food really wasn't anything special. The salad was premade and not worth the price as it was low quality to say the least. The cucumber was old and the cheese made me sick. I wouldn't recommend going . read more

This was probably the first place I went as a kid to eat BBQ. I love the sandwiches. They are one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've ever had. They also have amazing sweet tea and slaw. The price is very affordable too. read more

I was raised on their brunswick stew and barbeque sandwich (I always get it chipped). As I grew older I graduated to the Old Timer Plate with BBQ slaw, brunswick stew, and 8oz of good old smoked pork. I would recommend this place to anyone, but is it the best barbeque restaurant in the area?!? No, that would have to be the BBQ House in Seale, AL. Still love me some Smokey Pig!!! read more

4 stars for a divey BBQ joint ambience, and 3 stars for the food. I was in town for a couple days, and some locals brought me here for lunch. The atmosphere was perfect; a non-descript, small run down exterior, and a minimal interior that looks like it hasn't had an update in 20+ years. Plastic chairs, a handful of tables, and big grill/smoker behind the counter. I followed the lead of my local colleagues and went with a '10 oz Plate' of smoked, chopped pork, and a side of the Baked Beans. While their BBQ sauce doesn't 'look' that appetizing with its greenish color, it is tasty. Definitely a southern, vinegar based sauce, and their 'spicy' sauce had just the right amount of heat. Overall the pork was moist and the sauce enhanced the flavor. Not quite as tender as some other BBQ places I have been to, and I would have liked to have a little more smoke flavor, but overall pretty good. The beans were decent as well. Not my favorite BBQ I have ever had, but I would stop back in if I was back in the area. read more

Food is great. Prices are somewhat high for the amount of food you get. Don't come here often but will come back I'm sure.

I grew up in Hawaii but my grandparents lived in Columbus and Phenix City and every time we came to visit from toddler to teen one of the first stops was Smokey Pig BBQ. My dad loved this place and for many of the visits through the years there was always a lady with a beehive hairdo serving behind the counter. I recently moved here to help my grandma and I stopped in for what my family considers the best BBQ in town and didn't see the beehive lady, but the food is just as I remembered. The first bite brought back a rush of good memories and was delicious as always. Now that I am living here, I have introduced my Hawaiian wife to the joint and we eat here everytime we want some BBQ. I love the sauce, love the chipped Old Timers plate and the chipped sandwiches with slaw and pickles. The sweet tea is always perfect. My wife prefers the bite sized Old Timers plate. I am so glad this place is still around and I hope they stay in business forever. Thank you for the great food, friendly customer service and the memories. read more
