    Spotted pig menu
    Catelyn H.

    I love the spotted pig! This place offers delicious bbq and sides. They offer several different sauce options, so everyone can find one they like. The restaurant used to have two locations- one in FairPlay and one in Clayton, GA. However the one is Clayton appears to have closed recently. The biggest star of the show at this restaurant their bbq eggrolls- which they often sell out of. That's the only downfall of this place is that you have to visit early to ensure you have access to their full menu. Service is a bit of a hit or miss- but the food is worth it.

    Brisket and ribs.  Brisket average, ribs - awesome.

    We were camping at Lake Hartwell State Park and this spot is located up the road. About average BBQ, nothing earth shattering. I gave an extra star because service was excellent, the local craft beer choices are excellent and the venue is very cool. But as far as actual BBQ, meh - I wouldn't rush back. Sliced brisket - I ordered fatty cut. Nope, got regular cut. It had a deep smoke flavor, which was a great flavor - no bark at all, bummer. The brisket was on the juicier side, but seriously, I asked for fatty cut - I wanted fatty cut. I thought she understood, oh well. Ribs. Touted as their specialty. These were above average, juicy with a deep smoke flavor. Very good. My wife ordered the pulled pork, she like it and said the home made potato salad was great. Mac-n-cheese - white cheddar, creamy as very good. Corn nuggets, skip - no flavor, very underwhelming. Also, what is up with their tiny portion of side dishes? Serously, eight corn nuggets? Is that Mac-n-cheese served in dressing bowl???? No value there, we got sides with our plates -- but if I paid $5 for a side and it came out in this portion, I would be very UN-happy (see pic). I am not sure we would go back, the locals in the joint were having seafood and that looked fabulous. Oh well, win some loose some.

    Brisket, BBQ, Mac n cheese, baked beans.

    Great Bbq, Brisket, and mac n cheese! Very friendly staff, and reasonably priced with an "at home" atmosphere. 10/10 recommend!

    Found this place by accident and sooo happy we did!! We were on our way to Gorges State Park for a hike and decided to get lunch to go. Pork sandwich was moist and delicious. The fries were very flavorful and crispy. Baked beans were sweet with big bacon chunks that added saltiness to it. Brisket was fall off apart delicious. Mac and cheese was some of the best I've had, each pasta had cheese coating it. The corn pudding had a sweet taste and it was delicious. We got the spicy sauce and was pleasantly surprised that it was ketchup based instead of vinegar! Had a nice kick to it offset by hint of sweetness. We are definitely planning to stop in again and dine on the outdoor patio. It's not surprising that as we were leaving they got very busy, some good que!

    One of t he best BBQ restaurants I have ate at. Food is on point. Excellent smoke flavor and everything thing is tender. Sides are awesome. I personally didn't care for the pork egg rolls. But everything else was superb including the staff. Kaylee was awesome as our waitress.

You order at the counter and they prepare your food as you are on the other side of the glass. There is one person that does the meat and then the tray gets passed to the next person who gets your sides for you. Then you move to the register where you give your drink order and pay your tab. You are given the option to pay with a card or get a discount for cash. You get your drinks and find a table. As busy as they were, we wondered if we would be able to find a table. There were plenty of they also have some tables outside but it was super hot. I had the pulled pork plate and my son and husband both had the chopped brisket. The pork was good but the brisket was amazing. Brisket is amazing when done right and this was done very right. Full of flavor and moist and juicy. AMAZING. You have three different sauces you can try. They are at the tables. Hot, regular and mustard based. All had great flavor and the hot wasn't real hot. As sides we had the Brunswick stew, Mac and Cheese and cheesy hash browns. The Brunswick stew is less chunky and more fine. The flavor was good. The Mac and cheese was very creamy in a white cheese sauce. It was really good. The hash browns were full of flavor. I would definitely order the Mac and cheese and hashbrowns again but probably would skip the Brunswick stew. Not that it wasn't good. I would just try other menu items first. Just FYI. No alcohol. But you're coming here for the food. You won't even miss having an adult beverage. The tea is freshly brewed and all you need. All three of us left stuffed. I took half of my meal home with me. They definitely give you plenty to eat. We shared a banana pudding at the end because my son wanted to try it. It was very rich and creamy. Not sure if it is available every day because the menu just offers a dessert of the day. Two of us shared it and there was plenty to share. Of course, this was after we each had already eaten our dinners. And we're already stuffed. But the person at the table behind us was raving about how good it was so we couldn't resist. The employees were friendly and they kept the line moving. There were two kind ladies out in the dining area refilling drinks and making sure tables were cleaned as soon as people left. This is the kind of food you dream about after you've been there. So very good. We will definitely be back soon.

    LEGIT SMOKEHOUSE !!!…read more About as mountainesque of a restaurant as you are going to find in the Smoky Mountains. Big gravel parking lot (do not spin out your tires). Two ways to enter - straight up stairs or multi level stairs, each depending on your knee strength - optional wheel chair accessible entrance at the front with a single handicap parking space. Upon entry, the scent of bbq smacked me right in the face. Greeted by two staff members and the bbq pit master. Not expecting a craft beer bar inside but it had a big brew selection on tap with cocktails and wine too. Ordered three full slab of bbq ribs with cole slaw and shoe string onions for $34.00, thought it was pricey until I saw the plate coming toward me by the server with two half slabs (see pic). The sheer girth and weight of the ribs were worthy of the price point. Bit into the first half slab and at the same time got a whiff of the sticky charred meat. Holy S*** it was fall off the bone moist with a nice smoky sauce, which brought an immeditate tear of joy to my left eye. I put some sweet sauce on my slab and onto my onions for added bliss. I have to commend them for the flavorful coleslaw with a light tang of vinegar. Lately, I have been getting bland coleslaw at restaurants but took a leap of faith here and was rewarded handsomely. The gender neutral ADA compliant bathroom was clean with a rustic theme. Dark wood walls with an oval mirror hovering above the wall mounted modern sink. Little gift shop at the entry door slinging Highlands Smokehouse items. Wonderful experience here and would recommend it highly to anyone that loves bbq in North Carolina.

    Usually I give most of my BBQ places the 1-2-3 punch, 3 tries or your in or out. This place got…read morethe 3rd try and was still in my mind some of the best BBQ I'd had in the area - so I wrote my previous review. Well, after try number 12 or so, I've got a bit more to say on the subject. If you read my previous review it's accurate about 3 out of 5 trips. There are a couple trips where the meat isn't his typical cut, like maybe a whole different source.... or he has the right meat and pulls the meat out to early. In my mind, you don't substitute, period. Once he told me the ribs would be slightly underdone and then got mad at me when they weren't edible AT ALL. Another time, he was to pull the meats off the grill after hours to give to me, then totally forgot about me. On Several occasions, it hasn't lived up to the 5 star I originally gave it and would actually have come in at a 2 star. On way more occasions than I can count, he has been out of at least a few primary items, if not most of them - early in the day. In addition to this, the owner is just not a pleasurable person. I appreciate when a place takes pride in its work and realizes that customer service is 50% of a business, whatever that business may be, if not sometimes 100%. He just doesn't seem to get that. After seeing what happened with Iama C. in his review, it really doesn't surprise me at all, and I wanted to make sure I came back and addressed the consistency/personnel issues in another review. Since making this final discovery about 3 months ago I haven't been back. It will be a while more before I go back. Realize that if you go here, you might get the 5 star experience, or you might get the 2 star experience. I hope it's the prior!
