Third trip in this place! Food is well made and the BBQ is great. Cold beer on tap - post fishing in the area and great little stop off. I'll Make it 4+ next time. read more

Went here with a friend a couple weeks ago after many months of not being here. I tried something new, which was a mistake, you should always stick with what you like. I tried the brisket nachos and their fake, runny cheese ruined it for me. Typically, though, I really like this place. read more

The Ozona Pig - Brisket nachos - Barbeque Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Had been referred this several times and finally was able to drop in after a ballroom dance less. I csn tell why so many people rave about it. A hidden gem for sure. Ordered the smaller platter so we could try just about everything and it was out watering. I'm extremely picky when it comes to BBQ as my fiancé loves to cook but man oh man what a change up. The brisket, pulled pork, and the ribs were the best. We had plenty for left over. Loved trying the different sauces as well. Staff were quite friendly as well. Was outdoor and indoor seating. Will be back. read more

The Ozona Pig - Barbeque Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

This is one of my top two favorites around here, especially for BBQ. I especially loved the pulled pork and THE FRIES are probably unbeatable. Service was great. Ambience is cute. Neighborhood also cute and is a great area to spend an afternoon or evening. read more

I've been a patron of the Ozona Pig for over 25 years off and on and have to say, they never disappoint!!! I ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket Plate which was excellent!!! My daughter had the kids Chicken wings which also was excellent!! Definitely had to have the Southern Sweet tea to go with everything!!! We were seated immediately upon entry!! Our server, Britt was very efficient and friendly with everything we needed!! Our drinks were never empty and our food was delivered quickly!! Everything we had was full of flavor and generous portions!!! The entire restaurant has interesting decor throughout the place which is interesting to see from every seating area!!Definitely recommend checking them out!!!

Had their food at a large gathering at Phillips Park this weekend. I have lived and traveled in the NE,SE, SW, MW for over 40 years. I love BBQ. Always have it everywhere I've gone over all these years. What I had at our meeting was in the bottom 5% of anything I've eaten anywhere else. read more

Great pulled pork plate. For just $3 more upgade other plate over the jumbo sandwich. Lose the bun, get 3oz more pork, baked beans, coleslaw slaw, deviled egg. Location is nice and service was great! read more

I give them an '6' on their ribs. Decent ribs, but end were dried out making parts of the ribs too tough to eat! But, the Brisket gets a FAIL! Chopped up with no fat whatsoever, tough and stringy, requiring lots of sauce to gag it down! Coleslaw was a 10 read more

We had the sirloin and the ribeye steaks, both accompanied by the tomato blue cheese salad. It was all excellent and done exactly as requested! The service was impeccable and we love the comfy relaxed surroundings. read more

Took a ride to Palm harbor and decided to check this place out. Parking lot in the back so easy to find a spot. Got a Booth and the light that hangs down is bright and honestly annoying. Lighting at the bar looks perfect so if we come back would definitely sit there. Service was nice and friendly. Ordered a draft beer and it was flat. Was gonna send it back but I was so thirsty so decided to drink it and switched to bottle. Bottle beer was fine and cold. Neighbors got the ham and cheese and rubs. Both Happy with selection. I got the smoked wings. Blue cheese good. The wings were good but not much flavor or spices. The flats were juicy but the drums were dry. Also got an order of coleslaw. It was creamy and good but could have used some spices for flavor. Hubby got the beef brisket. I felt it was dry and again not much flavor. The barbecue sauces provided are runny and nothing I would ever call barbecue sauce. In any event, it was a good night but I don't feel the need to run back and try anything. It might be your cup of tea, you never know. read more

This place was soooo very good. We were recommended to go here and are so glad we came. First when you get there, parking is in the back and the lot is small. I'd definitely come at an off time as I can't imagine the dinner rush. It's a small little place, some outside seating so if it's not summer, you could probably sit out there and it'd be nice. I've heard it can be buggy so, bug spray? We sat inside anyway and it wasn't too crowded so we sat right away. Service wasn't the fastest but it wasn't bad either. We got a half order of onion rings to start and absolutely devoured them - they were SO good. Hot with just the right amount of batter. We should've gotten the whole order tbh but the half order would've worked for two people, not the six we had. Entree, I got a half rack of ribs with mac & cheese and corn on the cob. The mac was excellent! The corn was decent but lacked seasoning & butter. I doused my ribs in the sweet sauce they offer (there's three sauce choices on the table) and they were amazing. A good amount of bark & the half rack comes with six ribs so the portion size was perfect. It also comes with a little slice of garlic toast and omg I could've eaten ten of those. I'll definitely be coming back here again! read more

We especially like the Cocktail, which has barbecue pork, Cole slaw, and baked beans in a small Mason jar. But it covers a whole plate - she ate half the beans before I took the pic read more

Just got the truck washed and had not eaten anything today. Remembered passing this place and decided to give it a shot. Came in and there was a team of girls so it was quite loud. For my appetizer I got two tamales with everything. While I put that in I decided to go with the BBQ Plate half beef and pork. The tamales came and were deep fried with the chili, cheese, and jalapeños. It was not too spicy but still had a kick. Good choice to start off the meal. I must have been hungry because I totally forgot to take a picture. Oh well my bad. Placed my order and now the wait. While waiting I must say that my waitress was very nice and offered help on my selection. She brought out a fresh carrier of BBQ sauces that were still warm. Two were vinegar based and she warned me to not squirt them towards me as they come out fast. Here is my order and it looks good. The coleslaw was average. I added some pepper it was a little too creamy for my taste. The deviled eggs were good. Once again a little pepper helped. Going with the Some Like it Hot BBQ Sauce first. The meat was good. It was a tad dry but that is what the sauce was for. The baked beans were sweet and paired well with the BBQ. I found it best to mix the hot and original BBQ sauces. All in all it was a good meal. I have had better but not in Florida so far. I will give this place 4.2 stars. read more

I'm a tough critic when it comes to bbq. Being from Georgia, I've had my share im my lifetime. I also feel that bbq is subjective and it's okay for everyone to have their own opinion of how it should be prepared. I stopped in on a weekday afternoon, restaurant was steady but not busy. Grabbed a seat at the bar and recognized that there were a lot of regulars that frequent this establishment. I went for the chopped barbecue sandwich sub Brunswick stew. I'm always going to give that a try when I see it on a menu. I was honestly very let down. Lacking flavor in the meat itself and all of the three sauces were not memorable. The stew was of nice consistency but too sweet for my liking. While the meat was tender, it was boring. Even with the addition of salt and trying all of the sauces. All in all, I don't see a reason to return. I hope this establishment does well, but it's not for me. read more

We were excited to try this place after reading all the good reviews. To our disappointment this place let us down in almost every way. The good parts were the staff was very nice, friendly and attentive. Also the portions were very well sized with a lot of meat. The not so good - the wait to be seated was extremely long and the food took over 40 minutes to come to the table after our order was placed. Those two issues wouldn't have even been brought up had the food been warm, fries not soggy and most importantly properly seasoned and had flavor. Every plate ordered lacked flavor in every way possible. BBQ should never be this bland IMO. We tried the brisket, pulled pork and pulled chicken and all disappointed Definitely will not return but wish this well. read more

Service was OK and we got our food in a timely manner. Our waitress was a helpful young lady The food was "OK" however the barbeque sauces were tasteless. All 4 of us agreed. read more

Great burgers!! Love this quaint little place in Ozona. It has a small town beach vibe. Great place.

Great BBQ, friendly place and an atmosphere that feels like home. Quant warm place a must stop!

Service was great! Ladies that were serving treated everyone like family and were very sweet! I ordered Brunswick Stew and it was delicious! (I am a Brunswick Stew junkie). My Fiancé and our friend ordered the Cowboy burger and fries and said they were very good! Fries are truly homemade, just like everything else and I almost ordered a basket for myself after trying them. They have their own BBQ Sauces and it was very clean. They have indoor and outdoor picnic table seating with umbrellas for shade. They were very busy and it seemed like a local favorite from all of the servers greeting customers by name. We sat there for 3 hrs visiting with a friend and no one bothered us like we had to leave. I will DEFINITELY be back to try the brisket! read more

I was looking forward to eating here on vacation. We saved it for our last night in town and our whole family of 8 got dressed up to enjoy the night out. We came in excited for some great bbq. We were told a 20 min wait and they were about to clear a corner table for us. We were encouraged to go next door to the brewery and enjoy a beverage while we waiting. 30 minutes and a very hungry 3 year old later, we went to check back in. We were bummed to discover the a "call ahead party" showed up and was given the table we were promised. To make things worst, two parties of six that came in after us were seated. When we asked for an update on how long we were told an hour. We asked if there was anything they could do to sit us sooner. The hostess said they could split us into two parties of 4 and out us in back to back booths. While this wasn't ideal, we were willing to compromise to sit quickly and agreed it. She told just 15 minutes to let another nearby table finish. 30 minutes later, I'm back in and there is two new parties in the booths that we were told would be for us. Frustrated, I asked why we kept getting pushed and I was told "I have to seat people when I can." I wish that rule applied to our party as well. The food might be good, but I can't say. After waiting an hour, we cancelled and the hostess simply said ok. We walked across the street to Molly's and enjoyed a wonderful meal with almost no wait to be seated. read more

Another great experience at the Pig!!! I stuck with the Boss Hog Special because you get a bit of everything. Same sides, beans, green beans and coleslaw. I had the OG barbeque sauce and the Hot. One thing I noticed with this take out, on a crazy busy Saturday afternoon, the waitstaff is amazingly patient with challenging customers. One of the waitstaff, sorry I didn't get her name as this was a take out order, received a crazy request from a table and would have thrown anyone crazy, did the request with such a great smile and great attitude. Unfortunate for any other barbeque places, but this is my number go to. Not just for the quality of food but also the great service they provide. Way to go!!! Thank you for your services!!! read more

Service was more than good, great! Me and my pal shared the mixed meats and it was so flavorful. read more

Many things on the menu were not available because they were closing for vacation...but the service was good !

Best burger ever very juicy. Service was sweet as well. Cute atmosphere very homey. My server told me to get the burger because I was torn but my boyfriend got the burger and i got the brisket sandwich. I ended up switching him plates read more

Wow! I've lived in Memphis twice for a total of over eight years and love their barbecue. Well this place is right up there with The Germantown Commissary and Corkys, both in Memphis. Ms. Bobbie is on point from the sweet iced tea to the barbecue to the tamales to the coleslaw to the potato salad!! This restaurant knows what it's doing and we are so glad to find true Memphis style barbecue in the sunshine state!! read more

This place won my heart. Finally came here after eyeballing it for years. Tucked away in little Ozona off the beaten path is this gem. You won't be disappointed! Parking: a few spaces out front but there's a huge gravel lot next door. Oh and did I mention it's free? Seating: you can sit inside or outside. Inside is a bit more plentiful but outside you can reserve a table if you have a large party. We sat inside with the air conditioning Atmosphere: down- home laid back southern causal. Don't worry about dressing to the 9s with this place. It's a very welcoming and homey place suitable for all Cost: Compared to the big chain bbq places, this place is much better priced. You can tell they're all about you enjoying your food and not robbing your wallet Food!!: they can literally do ANY switch-a-roo on the menu. I was in between getting ribs and pulled pork so she did 1/2 1/2 on a platter with sides. DELICIOUS!! I put the sweet bbq sauce on the ribs and the original on the pulled pork. Sooooo tasty read more

Great lunch at Ozona Pig! So, after 15 years in NC, we're slightly picky about our bbq. They're real serious about bbq up there. My small giant of a husband and i split the boss hog platter. Enough food for dinner tomorrow.. Everything was really tasty. The platter has brisket, pulled shoulder, 4 ribs, 1/2 a chicken, beans and slaw, toast. There are several sauces to choose from. The only thing I ordered I didn't care for was the deviled eggs. I love deviled eggs. these had an odd flavor for myself. The beer was cold. We sat at the bar. It was quite busy but the service was great, friendly, quick. There was outdoor seating if you wanted. lots of parking in the back. We'll be back to try the banana pudding. read more

Stopped by for dinner with a group of 9. They were able to seat us within 20 minutes. Once our waitress introduced herself everything was fantastic. She was amazing. Pulled pork was delicious. Ribs were ok but I have had better. Wings were fantastic! Definitely worth a stop by if in the area. read more

Great local place! Madison was our server and she was super friendly and attentive. Our drinks were never empty and her recommendation was on point. We got the full chicken nachos and asked for toppings on side as hubby and I like different tops. They make the bbq sauce in house and it's served warm which is great at keeping your food warm. The chips are also made fresh on site and are perfect. We also got hot and naked wings and which definitely had a little kick. We enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating which offers shade and fans on warm days. There were people who came with their puppy and the server brought out a fresh bowl of water. Definitely recommend and will be back!! read more

I've been coming here for years and it's far and away the best bbq joint this northern born old gal has experienced (and I lived in ATL for 10 years where there are really experienced bbq joints)!!! My fave is the pulled pork nachos because I create the perfect bite w each chip lol. I love the way the chicken wings r done also (we order them naked). The venue is cute and old school. I recommend! read more

Where do I begin with this place! You will not find the quality of food, with the huge portions for the price anywhere in florida. The food is delicious, well done and you can tell it's family recipes passed down with strong southern roots. The interior is decorated with photos, pigs, markings of local children's heights as they have come in and grown up. A very homey, country ambiance. The service is excellent, all staff members are helpful, friendly and will joyfully chat to you with and take their time with you. The food came out SO quickly so you can go for hours and hours or for a quick bite. They do catering and have tv's so plenty of options for everyone. You MUST go!! read more

Wow! My husband and I drove past this place a few weeks ago and thought it looked like a fun place, there were golf carts everywhere, live music, and it smelled amazing. We decided to head there for a date night this weekend and we were thoroughly impressed. Our server, Alliya, was so nice and attentive. The portions and prices are extremely fair- we got one soda, two waters, BBQ Ribs 1/2 Slab Dinner, The Cowboy burger, Mac n' Cheese, and of course banana pudding (which we found out that they sell out of this frequently!). Our total was just under $50 and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. I wish I would've taken a picture of the food but we devoured it. The ribs fell off the bone, I think I only put sauce on one of them and ate the rest plain, they were that good. I got garlic toast and potato salad as my sides, I would get the toast again but want to try the BBQ beans or green beans next instead of the potato salad. My husband is picky with burgers but loved The Cowboy! The fries were crispy and delicious. I've been thinking about banana pudding every day since we went. While the Ozona Pig didn't have live music on the night we went, the brewing place next door did and it was the perfect ambience, it felt like we were in a small town hallmark movie. We even got to see a group of neon lighted bicyclists go by and everyone was cheering. This is a must visit! read more

Sorry but not impressed. Had the brisket platter which was shredded and terribly dry and tough. Expected nice juicy slices like other places. If you want brisket done right check out Smoque in Chicago. Service was good, but skip this place. Oh, bar selection limited and not great. read more

Just left and couldn't wait to write this review. While they don't take reservations, they do allow call ahead. Which you should probably do if you don't feel like waiting too long, but if you don't mind waiting, they got a great bar, and plenty of seating out front to enjoy your group and drinks at. The ribs are so meaty, but what stood out for me was the steak sandwich, the captain. A 7 Oz filet that was cooked just as ordered and even in the car I'm thinking about how good it was. I'm making a trip back here just to try the full 36oz steak ribeye. The service couldn't have been friendlier. Great spot. read more

Excellent food and great service. The pulled pork nachos are amazing. Will definitely go again.

Dinner time felt like having some BBQ. As usual wifey and I are on the hunt for small businesses and this place is on the list. Parking is a little challenging and if you live nearby I'm sure you've been here but for those that are new to the area be careful as this area is a golf cart community so there are lots of golf carts driving around. Anyway, as you approach you can smell the smoker doing it's job. Depending what day it is I'm sure the crowd varies. We unfortunately decided to come on a Friday night and at the start of Spring break for the area. We decided to do take out. Not that the place is not a good place to eat at, we just didn't want to wait that long for inside seating and after a long day at work it was a little to loud for me or else I'd be okay with it (just wanted to chill). If that's something that doesn't bother than you'd be alright. They do have outside seating and that too was a long wait. It's a close knit community so everyone is friendly and seem to know one another (like the old show Cheers). As I sat here waiting for our togo order, I noticed their staff team is quick on their feet making sure their tables are good and have drinks, etc. We ordered the Boss Hog which is they say can be shared by two people. They lied!!! It's big enough for 3 maybe 4 people. It came with ribs, half a chicken, pulled pork, brisket, two deviled eggs, garlic bread, and two sides (we got baked beans and coleslaw). The ribs were cooked nicely and comes off the bone easily. The chicken was the same way. The pulled pork and brisket were not too dry. All items had a good Smokey flavor on them. The two sides we got was coleslaw which tasted delish. It had just the right amount of mayo in it. The baked beans was surprisingly good. At first I had it in my head like it's any other baked beans until I tasted it. It was sweet and savory I could probably eat that all day. We got two BBQ sauce a sweet one and their regular. We liked the sweet better. It was thick and stuck to the ribs. The regular was runny and tasted watered down. We ended up throwing it away. If i could describe it, it seems like they added water but didn't mix it. Similar to adding too much water in a ketchup bottle to get the a last few drops of ketchup, bland tasting. Overall, everything tasted good with the exception of the regular bbq sauce. I'm not making excuses for them but they were pretty busy tonight so could be been an oversight in the togo area. read more
