I'm a college student who frequents this place every time I come home from school for break. This past week (Spring Break), however, I went to their new restaurant, Wood & Iron, to try out their food. Impressed as always by their massive salads- can't go wrong with fried goat cheese and candied pecans! That said, I regret not stopping by the Pig for one of their juicy burgers or their stuffed grilled burrito. I cannot get enough of their homemade queso. Tbh I'm back in Harrisonburg and just craving their food so I came here to check out their photo gallery and remind my taste buds of what I get to come home to this summer. 10/10 apps, entrees, and desserts- ALWAYS splurge on their desserts, they easily serve two or even three (unless you're like me and can't get enough of homemade Key Lime pie) ***Forgot to mention their atmosphere I got so lost in their food: so. many. TV's. sweet party feel in a section off to the left of the bar: perfect for sports nights (March Madness jealousy) but also privacy for more quiet nights or families in the form of booths set away from the bar and the TV's to ensure the perfect volume for solid conversations. I've been able to catch up with my friends there just splitting an app and hanging out. Perfect for any and everyone. read more

So good! They have a great selection of food and drinks. The tacos are my favorite... I know a BBQ place with tacos... trust me, they are amazing! read more

Tried this restaurant after my son's recommendation and we have found our home for BBQ. Ian recommended the Brisket. My wife had the platter and it literally melted in your mouth. I had a Brisket taco... not sure what I was getting into but what a surprise, perfect blend of brisket, pico de galo and a mild spiced Mexican sour cream. I had the hushpuppies as the side and they were perfect and came with a whipped honey butter. I can't wait to go back and try the other menu items. Service was friendly and very attentive and we did not wait long for the meal. It is a little tough to find in the shopping center but well worth the search. I will be recommending this to everyone as this was the best barbeque that I have ever had. read more

I was pleased to see that there was a barbecue restaurant opened up near where I live, but then was slightly disappointed with service and pricing. Before going to eat at this location I tried on four separate occasions to order food over the phone , it was a disaster and I ended up hanging up and not ordering anything. So I finally had some time today actually go in and place an order, the menu looks pretty good except for the prices, way too high for a barbecue restaurant. I ended up ordering a burger with basic toppings, added bacon and it ended up being right at $12. The burger was okay but nowhere near the neighborhood of a $12 dollar burger. It was a take out order and I was at the bar and normally I'm used to them asking if I want anything to drink while I wait, which I did but was not asked. My friend had ordered ribs about a week prior that I had tried and they were good, I saw how much they were on the menu and was shocked. I think all in all the food is good but they need to do a better job training the wait staff, especially taking orders over the phone. I think this place is on the fence, better service = longevity, or the crowds will begin to dwindle away, people in this area are very picky. read more

Just got back from eating at the flyin' pig and I could not be happier. I got the half rack of ribs, bbq baked beans, and french fries (along with the cornbread that comes before the meal-DELIFIED) Every bite was absolutely amazing; best meal I've had in a long time! Friendly staff, short wait, and I have an amazing lunch of left overs for tomorrow, can't wait to eat it again. read more

this place is our favorite! amazing food, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and incredible sides. Their wings are to die for, and dont even get me started on the poppers! also, that apple cake is made from scratch and not to be missed! read more

The Flying Pig is an amazing family friendly restaurant. The menu is delicious, with their BBQ sandwich, grilled burritos, tacos, and burgers. Don't even get me started on the desserts. We shared a Oreo dream bar, Cinnabon cream bread pudding, and cinnamon apple cake with ice cream. They were delicious and savory . I enjoyed every bite of each of them and recommend all of them. Lexie, our waitress was so sweet and made the experience so much fun. Every bit of it was great and I can't wait to go back! read more

I have ordered take-out several times since I moved into the area and I have never been disappointed! Regardless of how busy they are, the staff is always friendly and easy to work with. The food is always good and it is now one of my favorite places! I like how they always check my order to make sure it's right before I leave. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Best bbq in the area! Make sure to stop in and try this place out!!

I had a 1:30 PM meeting near the Flyin' Pig on Thursday, April 17th. Last summer I attended an event that was catered by The Flyin' Pig's. I remembered that I thought the food was pretty good, so I decided to go there for a quick lunch before my meeting. I entered the restaurant about 12:35 Thursday afternoon on the 17th and was seated right away by a rather impersonal young man at the front. I waited 5 minutes before the waitress found her way to my table. She finally showed up asking what I wanted to drink. By this time, I had perused the menu and knew what I wanted. I went ahead an ordered my meal. I ordered the pulled barbecue sandwich lunch special with coleslaw and an order of fries. I felt that the preparation of a simple meal like that would take the least amount of time. It took longer than I expected. A young man brought out the order. He said, "I will get her to bring you some sauces." I asked him to tell her I also needed ketchup. He said he would. I did not see the waitress for a while, so I decided to taste the food without any sauces. The barbecue, though not the style of barbecue I prefer, was quite good. The fries were excellent. The coleslaw was very good too. I really liked the pineapple in the slaw. About the time I was half finished with the sandwich, she brought over the carrier with multiple sauce selections. I reminded her about the ketchup. I continued to eat my lunch. I saw her at other tables, taking orders and/or delivering meals to the other tables. She finally walked over and asked how everything was and said . I reminded her about the ketchup. This time, she brought the ketchup right out. By then I had one last bite of my sandwich left and about half my fries. I realized that if I was going to get out of there on time, I needed to get her to bring my check right away. I asked her for my bill. I pulled out my credit card and left it on the table and waited, and waited, and waited. Again, while I waited, I decided to pay with cash, figuring that if I gave her a credit card for payment, I might never leave the restaurant. Finally, she brought the bill. The best I can remember, the total was $8.37, or something very close. I left $9 on the table when I left. The food was very good. The young lady that waited on me was very pleasant. She just seemed inept. Perhaps this was her first wait-staff job. Perhaps she was not trained properly. I don't know. She did not seem to be able to handle multiple tasks at one time. read more

I went in for their tacos. I had the fish, as they were recommended by an employee. The whole evening and next morning I was ill beyond belief. Not to be crude, but both ends of me were screaming. This is the 2nd time I've been there and the 1st was just overall bad. I didn't get sick, but I wasn't impressed with the food or the service. The menu is WAY over priced for cafeteria style food. And the staff just seems to run around and act like the high school girls that they are. No real concern for guest service at all. And from what I understand from others, the management staff are actually the owners. Which to put the cherry on top, doesn't say much for this place. read more

This place is amazing! The food is delicious and they have a great atmosphere and lots of beers on tap. Locally owned! The choices in BBQ sauces are plentiful and so yummy! Good sized portions live music and a great staff. We have also ordered catering from here and it was a wonderful experience. read more

I try to support local businesses as much as possible. My wife and I tried the Flying Pig for a second time and was not impressed either time. Overall the resturant is filthy. The staff is nice and pleasant,but they are not educated enough in their products to make suggestions or to answer questions about their menu. For a local Resturant I hoped their quality standards would have been higher and I could have seen the staff do more than stand around and socialize with each other. They have a good menu that just needs some TLC so they don't end up being another southside dive. read more

Great local hangout for swarms of flies. I've been here a few times and there are always flies buzzing around, which makes the whole place feel dirty. Our hush puppies were over cooked and my chicken sandwich was pink on the inside, which completely ruined my appetite. The fries and chicken both tasted like the oil they were cooked in. Severely disappointed, and I won't be giving them another chance. read more

If I could give this less than one star I would. The family and I would go to The Flying Pig bi monthly and we would get the wings, bbq, appetizers and burgers so a little bit of everything, we actually really liked the place. The last experience was so terrible that we will never go back. The table ordered three bbq burgers, fries as an appetizer and another cheese burger, when we left my wife didn't make it to the car before getting sick, my father was violently ill for two days and my Mother didn't feel well either. I called the owner to explain and asked if anyone else had any issues, he said there was no way it was from his place and passed the blame onto me. I wasn't looking for any handout here just wanted him to be aware, I also wasn't looking to be told I was wrong that we didn't get sick from his establishment, which caused my parents to be in town for an extra two days because my father was to sick to travel. The last thing the owner said to me on the phone was hope to see you again, are you serious? read more

Food is always good...brisket tacos and side of mac and cheese are my staple every time I visit. I will say that the service (waitstaff in particular) has dropped off in my last few visits. A lot of standing around talking to each other while my table and surrounding tables are running low on beverages, table needs to be pre-bussed, or even a table that left already is still dirty 15 minutes after we have been seated. Tonight was the worst experience I've had at the Flying Pig, for a Saturday night, not really that busy but seemed like a cluster as soon as we walked in. I knew it would be bad as soon as we checked in with the hostess, and she asked us to wait 5 or 10 minutes since the server was covering 2 sections tonight.It was a solid 10 minutes after we sat down that we were even greeted by our server. Another 5 to get our drinks, and close to 10 minutes to place our order. Half the food came out and 15 minutes later, after being told our food was on the way several times during that 15 minutes, the other half came out. Frustrating night and no one seemed to give a damn. Manager offered some desserts, that we declined. The kicker....as we were leaving we walked by the hostess stand, as the manager and 4 waitstaff standing around talking, and not one of them acknowledged or thanked us for our business. The manager that came to our table when we complained about how the food came out, had nothing to say. Coming from a multi-unit restaurant management background, I know the small details in service, along with high quality food, matter to guests, and that's what keep us coming back or finding another place to take our business. I hate to say it because the Flying Pig has been our spot for a few years, but tonight was our last visit. Sad to see such a great place go downhill so fast...it's a damn shame. read more

This was our last visit to this place. The last time we went we had a problem with our food my wife ordered the shrimp salad with NO tomatoes it came out loaded with tomatoes. They took her plate back to the kitchen and scraped off the tomatoes and brought it back to her and when she went to eat it there were still tomatoes on it. I asked them why there were still tomatoes on it and the girl said we just scraped them off. Well we went back again tonight because we always like to give it another and make sure it was just a over site on their part NOPE!!!! We ordered the pulled pork nachos with the pico de gallo on the side NOPE!!!! all over the top of the nachos. Now mind you we have been there for 40 min before we got the nachos and when they came out we waited 15-20 min and never received a our nachos. We told our waiter that we will just pay for our drinks and leave. The manager came over to our table and said we will take the nachos off your bill. My wife said we didn't eat the nachos and he said well you and he was cut off right there and we told him yes we did get them but they were WRONG so of course you will take them off the bill. I gave the waiter our card to pay for the drinks and he came back and said we are all good no charge for the drinks. He did get a tip for getting our drinks. read more

My family and I had dinner plans with another family...made reservation for 10 for 6:30, we were called back to change our reservation to 6pm so the restaurant could better accommodate a larger party of 30. No problem. We arrived our table was ready. Our waitress took our order...with 6 kids she put the kids orders in first, came back got our orders and all was well. Appetizers were amazing!! Kids orders arrived...kids loved their food. Great portions. 40+ minutes later the adults still don't have food (we had two salads, fish tacos and a house specialty bbq sandwich). Waitress never came back to the table. I hunted her down asked about our order..was told she would check, in the meantime a gentleman came by to ask us about our dining I explained to him that at this point 50 minutes later, our kids were finished eating and we had yet to received our meals which should have been taken care of by now and he also assured me he would check on it. He never came back to the table, the waitress explained that the meals would be out shortly and she was unsure of what happened. At this point we just want to box them up and take them home since the kids were done and now antsy and one had fallen asleep. Moments later food arrived....we quickly engulfed it and were presented with the check for a little over $100. I asked to speak to the Manager who ironically happened to be the gentleman that never returned to our table. I explained the situation and expressed to him while I thought the food was great, the experience was not and I felt he should offer some sort of concession. He said he'd see what he could do...never came back to the table, but sent the waitress back to give us a bill that had a $5 discount for almost $100 bill. Needless to say we paid our bill, had a moment of silence because the food was great and it's minutes from our home, but we discussed not returning based on this poor service and ability to make a situation right. Unacceptable!!!! read more
