Best bbq ive ever had hands down. Owner is accommodating, food is visually stunning, building is clean and nice, and the sauce is 10/10. Place has my loyalty to bbq. Bear bbq, hoodoo browns, cookhouse, etc have nothing on this place. read more

Six of us had dinner here on Friday and the food was terrific! Everyone, even one of us who had spent time in real BBQ country down south, was blown away by their dinner choices. Another review mentioned the sauces--all created by the owner/chef and spectacular. The restaurant recently added space and the dining area was very comfortable. We will definitely make this one of our regular restaurant night choices in the area. read more

Best BBQ around stopped in for lunch had the Jambalaya Bowl my wife had the Brisket Sandwich just great. The corn bread, beans, potato salad is to die for. Better than the number 2 BBQ house in Texas we had dinner in. Chef Owner please do not stop doing what you do. We will be back again well worth the 1 hour drive. Thank you Bobby G read more

My wife & I stopped by When Pigs Fly South. Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic atmosphere! A go to must! Owner Bennett Chinn checked in with us often to make sure our food and our experience was good. When dinner was over (we were the last in the joint), in true southern style, Mr Chinn sat with us and we shared warm conversation... if you want a great dining experience, this is a great place to find! read more

Yelp reviews brought us in around noontime when we were out driving recently, enjoying a lazy Saturday. Definitely agree with most Yelpers who commented on the friendly staff. Always a must, especially when the food experience is simply average. On the plus side, food quantity and price points were decent (salad a bit on the smaller side however). The hubby and I split the barbecue shrimp salad and a full rack of ribs. I am not partial to wet ribs, preferring a dry rub and sauce on the side. Ribs had good flavor but were dry, definitely as if they'd been made the prior day. (We sat outside and easily noticed that the smoker was not on!). The accompanying bbq sauce was flavorful and helped with the dryness. Potato salad and deviled egg sides are deserving of 4 stars. Very tasty. Just disappointed that the ribs weren't moist. I'd give it another try if in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

My wife and I have eaten at WPFS BBQ about a half a dozen times with various friends and Yes, we are fans of Bennett's southern cooking. We're very happy to see that he has remodeled the building and it's very nice to now be able to sit indoors when the weather isn't nice for eating outside. I've found that the bottom part of the slider buns get soggy, but I don't mind then to use a fork to finish the sandwich. I've found the sides, all in all to be very tasty and enjoyable. The times that Bennett has been present, he gives a very warm, friendly welcome. It's a beautiful ride to Sherman from our home in Washington and that adds to our dinning out experience at WPFS BBQ. read more

Sorry, this place blows. My daughter and I got the Brisket sandwich. First bite she asks "is yours all fat"? sure enough mine was half loose greasy fat and tasted like it. My wife got the ribs and there was zero smoke flavor. Tasted like a bad oven roast with a hint of lighter fluid. Couldn't taste any dry rub or classic BBQ essence. I inspected the smoker out back while waiting for our order and the unit was stone cold. Evidence the food was not prepared that day or the night before. So wanted to discover a great BBQ place but this is definitely not it. AVOID. read more

Great BBQ, portions are plentiful. Ordered 2 meat platter, had left overs for 2 more days, just as good also. My husband had the brisket, it was fantastic, melt in your mouth. Sides were fresh, very tasty. Employees are very nice, attentive. Lemonade was delicious! Great small place. Sitting outside was such a treat. Even though, Sharon is quite a distance, this place is WORTH the drive! Definitely will be returning read more

Driving up from NYC to New England to go skiing, we deliberately made a 40 minute detour to pick up delicious food from this truly amazing barbecue place! We ordered the pulled pork sandwich, turkey cobb salad beer can chicken, full rack of ribs, brisket. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted delicious. The food is prepared with a lot of love and care by a chef who knows how to make fantastic barbecue. He also understands the value of customer service and treating people well. I only wished I lived in the neighborhood so I could eat this wonderful food more often ;-)! read more

Had the ribs for dinner today and they were mediocre, at best. There was zero spice and the sauce was just okay. Ribs were overcooked as well. Collard greens were good, black eyed peas were only okay, and cheddar jalapeno biscuits were dry and tough (probably overmixed and overbaked). If you're heading south, just keep going to Big Ws on Route 22. Much better, and with an impressively giant smoker. read more

I don't usually Yelp but man I downloaded this app just to give these guys an awesome review!! The ribs are amazing and everything about this place. It's def a dive hole in the wall but man is the food good!! read more

We worked with Bennett to have an event catered at our home over the summer. He was wonderful and helpful to work with, the event went off without a hitch, and the food was phenomenal. Our guests loved every bit of it and I was happy to have the food for our party fully handled from delivery and setup all the way through to cleanup. We would highly recommend them for your next event and can't wait to book him again! read more

Their food is amazing. It's a little whole in the wall place but it feels like you were transported to the south by stepping through the door. The collard greens are to die for! read more

Five years since my first review of what we fondly refer to as "Piggies" and we're glad they've stayed in business. We took a group of 20+ family members there recently and they handled us with aplomb. The food is consistently delicious, the service is attentive, they've done great things with the space. read more

Very good job boys! Brisket and beans are my favorite!!! Collard greens are outstanding....

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. We will return to this restaurant to explore other dishes. Very pleased with everything we have had to date. read more

Shrimp and Grits were the best I ever had! I love the diversity of the menu with Memphis Barbecue and Cajun. Everything was great!

Mid day they were out of many items. The corn muffins we ordered were overpriced for the size, the size of a bon bon, not really a muffin size at all. It's one of the few restaurants in the area so if you don't know the area and you are hungry, you have no choice. read more

What a great little place. Came in for lunch. Ordered at the counter, food was brought to the table. Between my wife and I, we had the brisket and ribs. Both were great. Not too smoky. The brisket was moist. Had a Georgia peach sauce on the side which was very good and spicy. The Cole slaw was excellent. The beans were unique and a must have. The corn pudding was sweet and yummy. I will be returning again. Thank you when pigs fly south. read more

Food is amazing!! We have been slowly making our way through the menu but he had me sold at ribs and wings. Owner is very sweet and attentive! He may be busy sometimes but he makes sure he makes everyone feel welcome! His blueberry peach bread pudding is to die for. Five trips and you get ten percent off bill. Only downside is it is cash only. The Louisiana influence can be felt in the gumbo and po boy crab cakes. Don't hesitate worth the trip. read more

I really enjoy the meats - especially the pulled pork and brisket, but I also LOVE the peppery creamed corn and Mac and Cheese! It's not too expensive, either, and service is quick and friendly. I recommend it! read more

I want this place to succeed, but never seems to be open during posted hours. Get your act together-- if you want good reviews, people need to eat your food. I know so many people who live in the Lakeville/Sharon area who are frustrated by driving to When Pigs Fly at 6:30pm (open until 7pm) only to find it closed. I host many events that I could use catering for, but I have almost given up on this place because whenever I stop by, it is closed! read more

GREAT BBQ!!!! my sister had this place cater her graduation party she loves it so much. fav sides are thr mac and cheese and bbq beans. Great little place!! read more

A meal at When Pigs Fly may be so satisfying, in part, because it is so unassuming. The tiny house sits across from Sharon's fire station. It's just large enough to hide the big black bar b que tank parked in back. That wood and charcoal-burning contraption produces all the delicious ribs, chicken wings, pork butt and other treats on the menu. The owner-operator Bennett is a CIA-trained master chef. He modestly says he's still fine-tuning his brand of BBQ. but for three hungry men who stumbled across the quiet little corner, every bite was tender, juicy and packed with flavor. Order the home made macaroni and collared greens, and you will want to write your own rave review. Don't wait; go to Sharon and taste When Pigs Fly. read more

Wonderful food, made with love. I went in right before closing and the owner made us feel more than welcome, chatting with us and making sure our needs were met in every way. I'm a vegetarian and my uncle is a true carnivore, and we both enjoyed outstanding food. The honey butter cornbread is to die for. An honest BBQ joint run by an honest staff. Keep it up! read more

Ate here twice over Labor Day Weekend: our experience was decent food, but with no hint or evidence of smoked meat. I'm guessing the meat is oven roasted ahead, then reheated to order. However, we did enjoy the brisket, ribs and pulled pork--the meat quality was good and I enjoyed the sauce. Sides--especially the baked beans--were very good. read more

Beignets for my breakfast birthday brunch. On the house I might add! This place is off the green in Sharon Ct. Parking is in the back. Interior is warm reds,with gas fireplaces in two walls, very old maps of Ga. hanging on the walls, and some food that just is as good as it gets. Pancakes that were light and so very flavorful. Organic maple and blueberry syrups from local farms. Crab cake Po'Boy sandwich was full of crab, crunchy outside, delicate inside, with a flavor that stood up to it's surroundings. Crab Gumbo with a silky, sweet finish,great balance, and a pop of heat. Little mini sweet corn muffins were the perfect side. The take home pecan pie was a surprise. This was one of the better pecan pies I have had. The crust could have been worked a little less, but that did not take away from the flavor, texture and the outstanding , slightly crunchy, crumble topping on this pie. The chef/owner makes a very nice hot sauce, all his own. Open seven days. Cozy, comfortable. Priced right. Excellent product. Kicky presentations. Very well done in my opinion. I will be back to taste the BBQ. read more

Had a wonderful visit. The owner and staff were wonderful, allowed us to taste some of the items. We enjoyed the ribs, pulled pork and the sides. The gumbo was also good. Great atmosphere. read more

I'm from Nashville and definitely know something about real southern food. We're up here due to being active duty. While we know how to cook up some southern grub ourselves, we have been missing going out to a good ol meat and three type place. OMG yall are AWESOME! GREAT customer service (something that is unfortunately starting to disappear in the south as well as up here) and BLOW MY MIND perfect BBQ and sides! Best mac n cheese we've had outside of our house, black eyed peas, corn pudding, and greens!!! And many in the south even get grits wrong. This place knows how to cook good grits! I can't believe it! I don't know HOW the Hades anyone would give this place a bad review unless they don't know nor like real southern food or their tastebuds are broken. We will be going back frequently for family outings and to try the rest of the menu. Thank you for giving us a delicious slice of home!!! read more

The food is fresh and delicious. It's a really nice, cozy spot, and the guy who runs the place is super nice. We loved this restaurant. It's my daughter's favorite restaurant, and her parents loved it too! read more

Love this tiny little southern barbecue restaurant! Visiting the area with our son's family, we were looking for a local eatery and found this place online. You will not be disappointed...the food is excellent, especially the brisket. We sampled some of almost everything and can say that we will be back for more! The owner was very friendly, as were the other patrons. Highly recommend! read more

GREAT surprise! Pulled pork sandwich was very good- hubby had brisket sandwich which was SO tender! Will definitely make a trip back here. Very reasonable prices also. read more

As a lover of southern bbq I was looking forward to enjoying WPF with my husband and daughter. Unfortunately that wasn't our experience. We placed our orders and that's when it fell apart... my daughter ordered the California Citrus marinated chicken sandwich, I ordered the same kind of chicken only their salad option and my hub ordered a pulled pork/pulled chicken bbq platter. They ran out of marinated chicken so they put on what they had and added reg pulled bbq chicken to the rest of the sandwich and for mine they just brought me bbq pulled chicken. Now, honestly, I don't have a problem with them running out of an item it happens and that's ok. What I have a problem with is that they ran out of the item and tried to cover it up in the sandwich and simply told me when they served me that they ran out so they replaced it w the reg bbq pulled chicken. How dare they assume that it would be OK to do that. How dare they not come to us and simply state that they are sorry but they don't have enough of the requested chicken for a full sandwich or for the salad and allow US, the paying customers to decide if that's ok or we want something else?! It wasn't OK. I did NOT want reg bbq pulled chicken nor did my daughter. I was going to say something when he asked but I was so angry I didn't trust my mouth. Afterward he noticed I wasn't eating and asked me again. I told him how I felt. I also told him that I did not place all the blame on him as the back kitchen staff should have been communicating to the front of the house things like that so customers could be informed. He wanted to get me something else but when I get upset I can't eat anyway. I also told him we would pay for all the food since my hub said he would have it the next day. Before we left the owner came out followed by a female employee who must have been his backbone as she had nothing to do with any part of our interaction at WPF. He said "I hear there was a problem." Yes, a statement not really a question. I have an issue here because I was talking to his very nice employee about the issue and never asked for a manager or any compensation and wondered why he showed up at all and very much after things were done. But there he appeared with his backbone support trying to soothe me... patronizing clod... I explained AGAIN that my daughter had two types of chicken on her sandwich and he said well yes we use white and dark meat and I said I was well aware of how it's prepared and he pointed to my pulled chicken and said what's the problem it's the same color as yours and I said yes it is BUT your marinated chicken is much lighter and in a different sauce aka flavor CITRUS MARINADE. Oh, he said. There is no OH, you tried to cover it up and served a sandwich that wasn't what was ordered and thought it was ok. And then went on to serve me a meal I didn't order and think that was OK. Let me just say I don't care about paying for food and I had already stated I would pay my bill in full since my husband was taking home the food. That doesn't mean I won't call you out on underhanded business. Moving on... the restroom lights didn't work and he told my daughter he'd been having a problem with the breakers so he went and shut them off and on to see if that worked. No it didn't work. Then he said, and this kills me, well do you have a phone? He expected her to use the flashlight on her phone as a light IN A BATHROOM. Yeah, ok NO. When my daughter said she wasn't using her phone he threw up his hands and said well I will go try again. At this point my daughter said lets just go. I've already had enough. NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. NO I WILL NEVER GO BACK. I HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR THE FRONT END EMPLOYEE THAN I DO THE OWNER WHO CANNOT FUNCTION UNDER PRESSURE. Get it together bubba.. BTW the reg bbq pulled chicken is very dry! That concludes my review. I don't do reviews unless exceptional service is given or they just totally missed the boat on all of it. Their boat sunk! read more

Not consistent, , I use to get ribs or brisket once a week here but each time felt like a gamble.

We ate at "When Pigs Fly South" on Friday, when we took my son-in-law there for a late lunch after visiting his wife (my daughter), who just delivered their new daughter at Sharon Hospital. The owner of "When Pigs Fly South," Bennett Chinn, sat down with us and talked with us for quite awhile about himself, about BBQ techniques, and about his delicious menu. He was most hospitable, and the food was incredible. We had the Crab and Shrimp Gumbo, the Jumbalaya, Beef Brisket Sandwiches, BBQ Beans, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, BBQ'd Chicken Wings, and Mac and Cheese. Everything was moist, tasty, and with the right amount of spice and smoke. We lived in Florida for 10 years, and I've had some great BBQ in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina... and "When Pigs Fly South" rivals any BBQ that I've had anywhere. Congratulations, Bennett, and we'll be back for more, even though it's a good drive for us... well worth the drive. read more
