    The Purple Pig did not disappoint!! Delicious BBQ and great service! You can't go wrong with any of the meats but I ordered a tasty brisket and pulled pork. Spicy collards and beans as my side were great and the huge cornbread cube made for a perfect meal. The burnt ends were large and Mac a cheese hit the spot. Not a lot of seating but 2 tables and a small bar area are available first come first serve. Takeout orders were flowing fast. Put this on your list. You will enjoy!!

    A year later and more sando's than I could count, The Purple Pig still is always a solid choice with great food and friendly service! They have made some changes like offering more specials and highlighting using local quality ingredients. Their brisket and turkey panini are my current go to items but you really can't go wrong here. Luckily, there are a many options to choose from so I never get tired of this place.

    sloppy pig. Made with pulled ribs a just enough spice. It's delicious. Only $10 with tots

    For a limited time.... We introduce the sloppy pig. Made with pulled ribs a just enough spice. It's delicious. Only $10 with tots. Very impressed with the food and staff. Not many seats inside so prepare to eat it to go

    If you like good BBQ the don't waste your time going. The ribs were ok, the sides were fine but nothing there is worth a second trip.

I could have ordered the menu dishes but took my choices straight from the grill, which they are also set up for now, along with inside and outside dining.

The Fish stew reminded me of eating in seaside towns in Spain and Portugal. The Flan for dessert was a taste of heaven on earth. You will not be disappointed!

The buffet needs to be changed and adjusted to reflect a more diverse selection of authentic Brazilian dishes. The main dining area needs to be outfitted with more of a Brazilian theme so it doesn't feel like you're sitting in a high school cafeteria, The identity of this restaurant must be a clear and present picture to the guest. The quality of the meat regarding temperature and seasoning was average. This restaurant has not been around for a very long time so I will give this one another chance down the road. Parking was average but the prices doesn't reflect the quality of food you would expect from a restaurant that claims that it's a Brazilian steakhouse. They have world class Brazilian restaurants in Worcester, MA.

The first time I came here was when I moved into the neighborhood and Ally waited on us. Service spot on and food spot on. The second time I noticed that the burger was not seasoned. After that I would come only for a glass of wine and Singo. Recently I stopped and thought I'd give them a try again. After all it's a burger joint and I'm sure some inconsistencies exist. I asked for a medium rare burger which arrived as well done as a hockey puck. yuck. When i inquired about it they said we are now only serving "juicy through" whatever that means. I was really disappointed as I have raved to others about that first burger. Not only was my last burger not juicy, It was inedible ( at least for me.) Whoever owns this place should step up and own this problem too. I mean come on...even burger king will "serve it your way."

    Alrighty, first off, this BBQ joint is actually more of a decent sized BBQ menu that is offered…read moreinside a Pizza Shop called Clockwork Pizza. Hense why the first thing on the BBQ Menu is "Cowboy Pizza". When I first discovered them I was pretty sure the descriptions got lost in translation of what kind of business they ran. But then I actually looked up their website and saw that the menu had pulled pork sliders, beans, mac and cheese, corn bread, all these typical BBQ items. So I figured what the heck and I gave them a shot. Not sure what the story is here of why its a whole separate endeavor but whatever. Don't look for anything called Uncle Joe's. I was actually a little surprised to see that they sticker label every bag of stuff. Very efficient. Had to give the Pizza a try, felt improper to not get pizza. A BBQ themed pizza at that. Cowboy pizza came with onion rings, grilled chicken, bacon, and honey BBQ sauce. Sounds amazing. Looked great. Tasted pretty good. Super soft dough, could taste all the ingredients, heavy pizza cause of the toppings but I think it's a heavier pizza in general cause I think the cheese is a bit thick. But actually really good. Pulled Pork slider had great bulky roll bread. Pork was super shredded and loaded with sauce to the point it was pretty much a patty. Cabbage Slaw came on the side to add if you want, which I appreciate. But the Slaw is very pickled and kind of smelled like it was going bad. I know that it wasn't going bad because it's just a style of slaw, but you know what I mean? like the cabbage is almost a little translucent, and the vinegar taste kinda makes you think the pickling has gone sour for some reason. I mean I eat it all the time but I really like a fresh crunch slaw on my pulled pork sandwich. The Mac and Cheese was the most disappointing part of the whole meal. Simple and cheap pasta that just absorbed all the cheese sauce and left all the flavor somewhere else. Beans were traditional. Just navy beans and onions and maybe a sliver of pulled pork pieces. Sitting in a soupy broth of maple and brown sugar gravy. Gravy didn't really stick to the beans that well. Onions could have cooked for a bit longer but still a good taste. I was intrigued by their selection of Wings and sauces so I had to try the Spicy Peanut Butter and Honey sauce on a few wings, also their Jerk sauce. So all of their wings are just deep fried and mixed with a sauce just like any wing place. This peanut butter sauce I swear to god I would think it's just a regular BBQ sauce. Tasted notes of all that other stuff but still would just say BBQ sauce. Jerk Sauce is AMAZING! That is pretty damn close to the real Jerk Seasoning sauce. Spicy Tropical, so good. Corn Fritters .... they are scallion pancakes made with corn meal. The Key Lime pie was nice. Stuff kinda stuck to the roof of the mouth a bit but it was still good. Banana Pudding looked pretty cute with it's mini wafers. This stuff is straight up Jell-O pudding but its just so god damn good. I like that they are trying new things. I think they'll get a following soon.
