The Tattooed Pig - Media

We've gotten pretty gorged on BBQ, spending 5 or 6 weeks per year in GA the past six years. I have…read moreto say, Sterling Pig's pulled pork is a decent substitute this far north. I'm grateful that Sterling Pig has the taste and integrity to serve real potato French fries. I've stopped buying fries most places because it's all reconstituted junk anymore, but Sterling Pig's are legit. Thank you! Pulled pork is well rendered with expected flavor and is just simple and satisfying as it should be; grilled meat. No hint of a water bath or any of the cockamamie things some cooks can do to pork meat. Not super smokey but it doesn't need to be, and it doesn't need sauce either which means it's good meat to eat alone. Brisket had all the desired flavor but loads of fat. I don't like paying for gristle and fat when I pay by the pound. Otherwise, they are one of the few places up here who can get flavor right. Big Bad Wolf in Aston used to make great burnt ends with delicious flavor but quality waned last time I tried it. All in all Sterling Pig is pretty good and if you're not used to weeks of GA BBQ every year like we are, you're definitely in for a treat among local options.

Interesting stop while in Philadelphia. I was interested in trying some of the fruity beers or…read moresours but they were out of everything. The bar tender kept saying that they just tapped those kegs but what he meant is that the kegs 'kicked' as they were no longer available. Our flights were ok but not the best craft beer I've tried. I liked the set up and the outdoor beer garden. If I were back in the area I'd try it again to see if their fruity beer or sours were on tap.

After sitting down, the sandwiches came out shortly afterwards. No provolone at all in the one. The sandwiches were tender but under seasoned and the roll could have used a bit more heft.

Nice and clean interior, guy at the counter was not helpful nor was he rude. He didn't really care and was just there. My thing is, how are you a Pennsylvania establishment, close off to Philly, yet you can't make a Philly cheese steak properly? That's a whole embarrassment. I don't see this to ever be a thriving business. Portions are weak, flavor isn't there and overall an experience you want to put behind you. I was really hoping to write a positive review but I can see why it was nearly empty and every patron on the street didn't give them a second look. They get the 1 star for being clean.

Run don't walk! Actually run from a very far distance to work up your appetite for their Handcrafted Sandwiches, Bowls, Tacos & Quesadillas. Very generous portions. All absolutely delicious and worth every penny. We ordered the Rocky Balboa, the Luv & Comfort, Bob Marley Bowl, Birria Tacos, Cubano Quesadilla, a side of fries & handmade juices from the fridge (definitely try the juices!) The layers of flavor & spices were spot on. Not only is the food delicious, the laid back atmosphere keeps your attention with whimsical decor.

I always want to support a business in my hometown. I was excited at the idea of this place being…read moreas great as reviews claimed, but my experience (after $64) was not at all what Yelp reviews led me to expect. First, after one taste years ago, I will never put a batter-dipped fry in my mouth. This foodstuff creation of reconstituted potato, cornstarch, flour, and God knows what else, is an insult to foodkind, and to customers. My husband read reviews raving about the fries and assumed a place making "craft" type sandwiches would have handcut fresh real potato fries. No! So about $15 wasted there. I'm sorry to say the cheesesteaks were overwhelmed by cheese, and I could barely taste the roll, while the meat was texture rather than flavor. So disappointing. I was extremely hungry after a long day and not ready to jump up and cook an alternative dinner after $64 in takeout that reviews promised would be great. I honestly could not stomach this thing because it had like 1/2 lb cheese on it. The American (we ordered the old standard which I'd hope would be flawless) was so consuming of the meat it was one big goopball. I honestly cannot rate the meat because it was that overpowered by cheese. And sorry to go on but there's more! This American was not great quality. It was a bit elastic, certainly in its goop-factor, like the blob when it congealed with the meat. I can feel it sticking to my insides. Could not finish it, was desperately hungry but did not want to finish that. I was honestly insulted that this was served to me as sustenance. It was super junky, The egg rolls? Got cajoled into those from reviews too. Just like the cheesesteaks, exact same taste except soggy in the plastic-lined container by the time it got home (need vents for that steam). Just so disappointing to spend that much for what we got and not even want to (nor physically be able to) finish eating it. I'd be more generous with pity stars or you're-in-Media-so-here's-an-extra-star if they hadn't cost so ridiculously much for just 2 takeout street food meals. At an affordable price I'd be willing to try them again but $64(?!?!?) heck no!
