Still the best ribs and slaw I have ever eaten. If I lived near here, I would eat here a few times a month. I also really like the ice tea. I mix sweet and unsweetened until I get the perfect taste. There is no better BBQ anywhere else in the world. read more

Sometimes to find a place you had been to many years before. That is exactly what I did again when I stopped in Richmond Hill and needed some gas for the car. That I got. But the real surprise was not the price of gas, but the step I took back into the SMOKIN PIG. This is always the hidden treasure that seems to get better with time. Nothing changes except the food and the quantity. It is still more than what you expect. The meals are great. The food, excellent. We started with a Beef Brisket sandwich in a fresh roll. There was a huge portion of meet cooked just the right way. We also had a side of home-made coleslaw. The right touch of vinegar and sweetness you do not always expect. Along with this we had a platter of Pulled Pork that was over half-a-pound. It filled the plate. It came with a side of baked beans (with a touch of pork and onions), as well as a side of Brunswick Stew. And if you never had this you will see that it is a special home-made meal that a friends mother would make for you at lunch or for dinner one night. It is made with fresh vegetables that can change every day. One thing to note, that on every table is the array of different BBQ sauces from sweet to hot. You can pick one, or two, or mix-and-match. It is your choice to consider. Naturally there was a slice of toasted white bread that was big and fresh and covered with butter. This is not a light meal. It is truly made int he kitchen and brought out to you to enjoy. As always, the price is right when you come here. The team is ideal and friendly. And if you are not there early enough it is packed with everyone who must live int he area. We actually sat next to a couple from Toronto, Canada. They mentioned that when they drive down from Canada they always stop here one night to get a dinner they cannot get back home. This is on my list, and in my phone. I will be back. The gas belongs in the car. The food belongs in my stomach. It is that good to enjoy. read more

Comfortable rustic atmosphere, food in my opinion was mediocre. Coleslaw bland, green beans good. Small piece of dark meat, good smoke flavor but dry. Piece of Texas toast on the side. Sauces on table good were tasty. I've had similar meals elsewhere that were much better. Prices on parr. Maybe this was an off day. Girl behind the counter was friendly who took our order. read more

Stopped here on the way home from Florida when all the chain restaurants were either packed or just looked nasty. What a pleasant experience! Friendly ladies at the counter who offered good advice on which sides to get. The ribs were great! I don't use much sauce but I'd have liked the hot sauce at the table to be a bit hotter. The greens and potato salad were great! If you're looking for a good stop off I-95 be sure to try this place! I'll stop again for sure! read more

Smokin Pig - Ribs, greens and potato salad. - Southern Near Me - Richmond Hill, Georgia

For my 100th Yelp review, it only feels right to feature one of our all-time favorite spots: The Smokin' Pig BBQ Joint in Richmond Hill, GA! Conveniently located right off I-95, this gem has been a tradition for over a decade. After a few years away, we finally made it back, arriving a bit early--but as always, it was so worth the wait. The Smokin' Pig delivers exactly what you want in a BBQ joint: simple, mouthwatering food and warm, friendly service. We shared the St. Louis rib platter, paired with creamy mac & cheese, perfectly seasoned green beans, and buttery Texas toast. Every bite of those ribs, with their deep, smoky flavor, took me back to cozy winter nights by the fire--pure comfort food bliss! We also added some sliced chicken for our picky dog (who had snubbed chicken earlier that day). But one taste of the smoky chicken, and even she was a fan! The Smokin' Pig is proof that BBQ doesn't need frills--just great flavors, great people, and a place that feels like home. If you're traveling I-95 and craving authentic, unforgettable BBQ, do yourself a favor and stop here. You'll be glad you did! read more

The long and short of it .. it just wasn't good. The pulled pork and brisket were dry and lacked flavor. The Mac and cheese was some of the worst I've ever eaten. The good - the potato salad was good, better than acceptable, with a good mustard flavor. The sauces are the best part of everything we tried. They could actually sell them ! The people are super friendly and service was quick. It's kind of what you expect from a gas station eatery.. kind of dingy and a little run down looking. At the end of the day, this is not anywhere near the best BBQ place and it's not one I would recommend. read more

This place was legit. We had the pulled pork and mac and cheese. Delicious! I was on a quest to find the best banana pudding before we left the south, and this place wins. read more

Love their BBQ pork. Service is always great . Quaint little place love the rustic look it has inside. read more

Tasty bar b que and comfort food. Fair-sized portions. Walk up ordering, quick service.

I was driving south on I-95 from Savannah to Florida and saw the sign for Smoking Pig so I thought I would stop! Blown away at the flavor price and service. I highly recommend the St Louis Ribs and green beans. Try their mild sauce its mustard based and incredible. Not a fancy place! Just REALLY good! read more

I exited Hwy 95 to go to Subway, and am I glad that I did! I switched gears and decided to give them a try and I wasn't disappointed. The ribs were absolutely amazing! The meat fell off the bone. I chose a mild sauce but it wasn't needed. The sides were good but you go to a barbecue restaurant for the meat and the meat is fine dining. The service was quick and I was back on the road in about 10 minutes. read more

Great option to grab a quick lunch right off the highway! I was hungry and didn't want to stray too far off the highway, so I saw Smokin Pig and thought some bbq would be good, it's attached to a gas station, so my expectations weren't too high, but it was tasty! Chopped chicken with Mac n cheese and green beans, I happily scarfed it down as driving. read more

Stopped to get gas. Then it hit me. The smell of the wood fire and the making of goodness. So I parked and walked in. A very simple interior and menu. Had the brisket sandwich...got it to go...should have just eaten in. It was juicy and made a mess of my hands so ended up walking back in to wash my hands. I would stop if you get the chance. It was delicious. Check out the photo.... read more

Been coming here for years. The food is great, never had any issues or complaints about anything. Keep up the great job.

I was looking forward to barbecue food, and I saw smoking pig off the highway. I had high hopes for smoking pig due to all the reviews, but not impressed whatsoever. I had the brisket plate, it was bland like it was boiled, overcooked & hard with no flavor so I piled up sauces for taste but I came here for the meat not the sauces. Mac & cheese is one of my favorites and I had to try theirs very unimpressive it was dry & lifeless mac & cheese out of a box would have tasted better than Smokin pig, I also had the Brunswick stew the only taste was the peas, & the toast was burnt. Would not recommend unless you like generic fast food tasting unappealing presentation food with careless workers slopping food on a plate. read more

The food and service is amazing and the banana pudding is off the chain! The lady at the counter was very friendly and they had my order ready when I got there. read more

Absolutely not. My family and I were passing through on our way back home and decided to give this "highly rated" bbq place a try. We stopped in at noon on a Friday and were served *reheated* bbq plates. The bread on the sandwich was cold-straight from the fridge- brisket was dry, Mac & cheese was curdled from being reheated, and potato salad was bland. Save your money and keep on truckin'. read more

Excellent BBQ stop off of 95. Counter service and Home style dinning area inside with paper towels and some seating at benches and couple tables. It's next to a gas station but don't let looks fool you. The brisket was perfect as well as the pulled pork sandwich. ribs were juicy and not dry. Their variety of sauces was perfect. Only wish they had fries because would go well with other sides but the potato salad and beans were both excellent. read more

I've had food from here with a friend at least 20 times. We love the food here, with my personal favorites being the dark meat chicken, mac and cheese, potato salad, the sweet bbq sauce and the mild bbq sauce. The service is speedy and the people are nice, I'm not very sure on ambience since we always do mobile pick-up, but it seems like a nice place to sit down and have a nice meal! read more

We had a fun meal last night. We had rolled into the area very late due to a flight delay and by the time we got out we were starving. This place was near our hotel and we saw the reviews, so we decided to stop in. Even though it was a Friday night, it wasn't very crowded although they were doing a huge takeout business. One table was filled with police officers. I ordered the pulled pork platter & my friend ordered the brisket so we could share. Everything was great. My friend was surprised by the lack of beer but made do with a coke. Everything was delicious and they have a nice selection of sauces on the table. I love barbecue & was glad we found this place. read more

Smokin Pig - Brisket, Mac & cheese, green beans - Southern Near Me - Richmond Hill, Georgia

This place totally fit the bill for our lunch stop during a road trip, when we were tired of fast food, but didn't want to take a long time for a sit-down restaurant. Got there right when they opened and had our food within 10-15 minutes. The barbecue was flavorful and not greasy, which I appreciated. It was fun trying the different sauces available at the table - and the spicy vinegar was my fave. The sides were tasty - I recommend the greens over the green beans, but the banana pudding was definitely the perfect ending. Make a stop here and you won't be sorry! read more

Smokin pig was some really good bbq. The pulled pork was excellent. Staff was very friendly and kind . Definitely a dive bbq place. Prices were cheap and the place was very clean. I will Definitely be back when I'm in the area read more

It's just yummy bbq! We came by got the pulled pork, Mac and cheese and green beans! Potato salad was yummy too.

Great eatery, one of the best bbq in the U.S. Steaming hot pulled pork to die for. Being from Texas, I know great bbq and this place is award winning read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. Even though place is attached to a gas station and the inside is simple and modest, the food was off the charts. Both my wife and I had the chicken dinners. The chicken fell off the bone and was delicious. We also had a brownie and the amazing banana pudding for desert. read more

Delicious barbecue! Ordered take out and everything was fresh. Sides had home made taste and great options of sauces. read more

Nicest people and great pulled pork----we will stop there again going to and returning from Florida!

Nothing fancy, but Really good food. I gave four stars because the bathroom could be cleaner.

Excellent food & service. A great find!! Definitely will return!. Loved the brisket (not fatty) coleslaw & Mac & cheese!!

Do not judge this book by its cover! Located next to a gas station, but very first notch 'que! I make a hobby out of stopping at BBQ places in my travels, and have made quite a few. This places makes it into the top tier of the list!!! If you're able to, definitely make a stop here. The pulled pork is served naked, no sauce. No grease. Perfect. Great flavor accented by a nice selection of sauces. Nice sides too (baked beans, Mac n cheese). read more

Buy a Traeger, this place sucks! The only flavor you'll get on your meat is from their sauce. Bland, gross waste of money. Because they are pretty much the only game in town, my former employer ordered this place whoever we had large events. After giving this place multiple opportunities to change my opinion, I never during our working meetings. read more

Our first time here while on our way to Savannah. The place had amazing Yelp reviews so we wanted to check it out for ourselves. We ordered two brisket plates, each comes with a choice of two sides. Here is the rundown: Brisket - was so so. Not the best one I've ever had. Way too fatty, my kids didn't want to eat it. I mean, I love the outside fat, don't take me wrong, but one portion seemed to have a lot of fat within the meat and was rather chewy and all I tasted was fat and not meat. Toast - was amazing. Perfect. Potato salad - super yummy. Tasty, fresh. Mac'n'cheese - disappointment. Greasy and not too much flavor to it. Corn - my kids favorite, they smothered it in butter and sweet bbq sauce and had to have seconds :-) Sweet BBQ sauce was da bomb!!! read more

Food was really really good, service was terrible. A bunch of kids were running the show. They packed our order for takeout though we said we were eating in. We waited almost half an hour and they still hadn't called our name (because our order was sitting waiting for pick up) and then we asked and they apologized but the food was then cold so they took it away. When it finally came we found they'd messed up the side orders. For that they gave us cups of dessert for free to make up for the confusion, but fact is they did a really bad job. But the pulled pork, Brunswick stew (which was a new food for me) and slaw were all very tasty. My partner's chicken was a meager serving so he helped me with mine. read more

I didn't hate it. My boyfriend and I were driving up north from Florida and after seeing a billboard for the Smokin Pig we decided to visit. We placed our order online and the food was ready as soon as we got there. I ordered a jumbo pork sandwich and my boyfriend had a plate of pork with a side of macaroni. The pork was just okay. It lacked flavor and it was dry. Their sauces were just weird. The options were very limited and they tasted like either ketchup or mustard. The macaroni and cheese was bland and did not taste fresh. The best thing about the Smokin Pig is how affordable it is! Pandemic note: No one was wearing masks inside. read more

While traveling, I don't like to eat at commercial, well known restaurants like McDonald's. While on a work trip, I stumbled across the Smokin Pig. Being an amateur pitt master, I decided to try it. The pulled pork was delicious, and the baked beans were decent. What intrigued me was the slaw, which was unlike any I had ever had before. I won't share the secret ingredients, but you should try it out! I look forward to stopping here again in the future! read more

Have always enjoyed the ribs from the Smokin Pig. The quality and quantity of food is fantastic. The staff has always been friendly. Service is quick. My kids love sitting at the indoor picnic tables. The decor is pretty cool. I always over order, but leftovers the next day are worth it. read more
