Ribs were fine, sauce smoky but plain, salad fresh. Overall acceptable but forgettable, a fair three-star dinner. read more

Stopped in after a funeral and was really pleased to have delicious food. I had the ribeye sandwich it hit the spot and the green beans were great. I cleaned my plate and will definitely be returning. I don't live in the area but I told my sister about it and would love to pick up some cuts of meat sometimes. Good butcher shops are hard to find. read more

Bought a brisket from these ladies. All 3 of them were very nice and helpful. Gave me some good tips and were just overall welcoming. Thank yall! read more

Love the fresh meat, and the staff will answer any questions and give great suggestions too

Tried a little bit of everything. Brisket was chopped and sauced. Good flavor but I prefer sliced. My coworkers plate had a piece of sliced which he said was good except for trying to cut it with a plastic butter knife. BBQ was seasoned well, didn't need any sauce imo. My coworker said the baked beans were good. Definitely would come back. Hopefully they get proper flatware and maybe table service. read more

Whiskey Pig - Chopped brisket and bbq with fried okra and mac & cheese. - Butcher Near Me - Kinston, North Carolina

Bought one of their ribeyes today to celebrate a promotion... Cooked it as I was told... Best damn ribeye I've had in my 25 years of life.

The food is so good here. Don't miss it! Best for lunch as they close early. They grow their pigs and cows.

Just had lunch here. Great food with big portions. I had brisket with pulled BBQ pork. All Excellent. Also the fried okra are fantastic - fried whole, not cut up. This is a casual place, but well worth a stop if you're in downtown Kinston. It is also a butcher shop, in case you're shopping for meats. read more

We had brisket plates. The brisket was okay. They did not ask if you wanted sauce. My husband did not. Sauce was meh. Beans really really good. Okra was super good too. Mac and cheese was dry and not tasting cheesy. Loved the coleslaw and wished I had more. read more

Just don't order the Reuben sandwich. The pastrami was so fatty I couldn't eat it. I pulled out the pastrami and literally ate only the bread, cheese, and sauerkraut. Very disappointed. read more

It's the real deal, no fuss no muss. Simple menu. Brisket, and such. Not from here but game to try new items. If I lived here I'd buy their meats for sure . Local meats/ pasture raised. Such great looking meats. Simple / not fussy. Try it. read more

We came during the BBQ FEST and OMG. The Brisket Plate with two sides is the best thing ever. They were very busy but we got our food so quick. I definitely recommend this place! My boyfriend got the pork plate with baked beans and I don't even eat beans but they were SO amazing I liked the way they seasoned everything. Please try this place if you can. Best thing ever. Okra is also very good. I love the sauce they serve it with. 10/10. read more

This is a butcher shop and restaurant. We were welcomed by Kevin the chef and he helped us navigate the menu written on a large sheet of craft paper hanging the full length of the wall. He recommended the brisket, which had been cooking 16 hours. It was delicious and the sauce was spot on. Also shared entrees so we could sample more, tried the pulled pork on cornbread. Cornbread pretty much crunched apart and it had to be eaten with a fork. Loved the mustard that came with it. We didn't get the slaw that I thought came with it, but did get stir fried veggies as my side and LA had sweet potato fries. The restaurant is wide open, clean, modern and claims to be super nice to their farm animals before butchering them for us. My friend couldn't handle the sweet animal pictures hanging inside and went with children's grilled cheese and a side salad. What a deal for $3.50. The red velvet cake available only on Fridays and Saturdays wasn't very good--but I forced myself to eat all $5 worth of it. read more

Cute downtown butcher and deli with lots of bar style and regular table seating. Super friendly staff who were patient with first timers. Food was delicious - had the beef brisket sandwich. The meat was quality, from their farm, and the bread was perfectly toasted. Plus, the side of cole slaw was delicious and the perfect complement to the sandwich. Would absolutely go back! read more

This little gem is on a side street in downtown Kingston, NC. I had the Texas style brisket and it did not disappoint. Bark was great, good smoke ring and a layer of fat they somehow made kinda crispy. The collards are spicy and cooked with meat as well. Full okra pods flash fried and served with an amazing sriracha sauce were just as good. Side of coleslaw topped it off. I didn't have room but the homemade dessert looked phenomenal! read more

So delicious, so perfect!!! From the meat selection to the restaurant itself !!! My husband, his brother & I had such a wonderful experience at the Whiskey Pig! Friendly Staff & delicious deserts in the freezer!!! I seriously wish wish wish that the establishment was closer to New Bern or in Havelock right by the Cherry Point Base! Omg they'd be sold out and overrun with hungry happy customers for generations to come! read more

Wonderful place! We had the brisket sandwich. I prefer my brisket without sauce and if you do too, just let them know. Nonetheless excellent! The star however were individual whole fried okra pods... perfect salty, crispy, lightly cornmeal battered. And the corn and green bean casserole was delicious too. Great ambiance, friendly host (owner?) and gorgeous butcher counter that made me wish I had a cooler (and lived within driving rather than flying distance). Never been to downtown Kinston before; thriving cute downtown with lots to do. Will be back next time I am in NC and my local friend said Whiskey Pig will become a routine stop every time she heads toward the coast! read more

My family stopped in on a Saturday for lunch. It was terrific home made brisket and the customer service made it something special. The owner talked with us for several minutes about her family farm, the family history, and general conversation. You don't find places like this very often. I would highly recommend Whiskey Pig to anyone interested in supporting family owned small businesses and farm to table restaurants. Five stars!!!! read more

It's hard to find farm to table places anymore. That is why this place is a unique gem. All of their meats are grass fed and organic. Which makes it better and healthier all around for the consumer. Plus it is very high quality as well. It is also hard to find places that still butcher their meat on site. There is so much to choose from brisket to sausages!!! So this place also serves food as well. I ended up having lunch here. I wasn't disappointed either. I decided to try the Texas brisket. It was probably the best brisket I've ever eaten. It was perfectly done and the fat on it was nice and charred. I usually trim the excess fat of on any meat that I may order. But not this time. I also ordered fries with it as well. With the fries on the side you didn't get a lot. I also got a side of Mac n cheese. I was pleasantly surprised that it was smoked to. Not a morsel of my food was left. The place was also nice and clean. The only real complaint I have is it was a little too pricey and the portions were a little smaller than I expected. Would I eat here again? Yes I would. Would I recommend it to others? Yes I would! read more

The atmosphere is really nice here. The decor is awesome and it's in a great location. I like that they started offering some staples on the menu and combination meals. I would suggest the shrimp po boy. My friend really liked the cheese biscuit. It was large and hot. read more

This is just ok. The price isn't terrible for the really friendly service, and their products do seem great. But $28 for a lunch for two (with no alcohol and drinks in red solo cups) just seems high for this area. I could see this place working in an area like Cameron Village maybe, but it just doesn't seem to fit in Kinston for me. Our food was good and the people working there were just excellent. But I just don't see this lasting where it is now. read more

IMHO, the best BBQ in Eastern North Carolina, and it's from the restaurant division of Rainbow Meadows Farm. This family has been farming in Greene County since 1746, and their Berkshire pork is pasture raised on a diet that includes acorns, grasses, and herbs. The farm's American Devon cattle is grass fed and pasture raised without synthetic hormones, never finished on corn, and is dry aged for 3 weeks. They deliver from their extensive website every two weeks to New Bern and Raleigh farmers markets. or if you're up Kinston way, stop in, pick up your order, and have lunch. Meat and ready made items are available for take home from the restaurant as well. The BBQ is smoked for 16 hours on hickory and mesquite, and this transplant was happy it wasn't in a vinegar sauce. The brisket and pork were wonderful. You'll want to take some to go too. Get the fried okra as a side...it's whole fried okra...yum! read more

I've always enjoyed buying their meats and eggs from the farmers market in Raleigh, and I finally got the chance to check out the new shop in Kinston for lunch and shopping at the butchers market. Great atmosphere and super friendly service. My brisket sandwich was great and I went home with several steaks, spare ribs, bacon and some sausages. It's rare to find a high quality pasture raised butcher shop, and the prices were more than fair. Love the selection of meats and all the fun sausage recipes. You definitely need to check this place out read more

This place was amazing. Wife and I got the brisket sandwhich and the ribeye sandwich. Both very good but the ribeye was my favorite. Comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, mayo and pepper jack cheese. This isn't the typical shaved steak sandwhich most are used to. They legit give you a whole ribeye steak, and it is super tender and easy to bite into. read more

Excellent food! Lunch Prices are very reasonable. Bright and sunny dining room. Had brisket sandwich and it was amazing!

We just stopped in for a meal before the wood ducks game and I had the best burger I have had in a long time! Everyone got something different and were all impressed. This is a hometown small business, food made fresh from scratch (whole okra, not frozen cut pieces!). This is somewhere we will definitely go again! read more

I love a good burger and its hards to find places that know how to make one properly. The burger i had at whiskey pig waz a very goid burger. Fresh ground chuck cooked on a flat iron to give it a slight char. A simple soft bun with lettuce and tomato. A side order of fried okra was a trwat. It was nor your usual frozen okra slices rather a whole okra lightly breaded and fried. A good experience. read more

First off, I have only eaten here and not bought the meat there. This review is only for the food from lunch. For a business to say that they are farm to table meats and have certain cuts of meat the kitchen does them no favors. I have gone 2 times and have not been impressed. First time was a bbq sandwich on a cornbread, could not eat as a sandwich as the cornbread fell apart and it did not have a great flavor. Second time I had the beef stroganoff. When I think of that dish I think creamy and big chunks of meat. Instead I get ground beef and dry noodles with no seasoning. Need to update recipes in kitchen. read more

I agree that the brisket is good. Maybe a little too much bbq sauce for my taste. The fried okra was delicious!! The employees were friendly & helpful. I would love to go back one day. read more

Absolutely delicious! I had the lamb ribs with a side salad. The owners were very pleasant and offered a wide variety of meats.

My wife and I had heard good things about this place. Once I retired, we decided to try it and make it a nice lunch together. Turns out they closed the restaurant portion and are now only a butcher shop. Very disappointed. read more

Okay if you're in Kinston, NC this is a 100% must try! Their food is all homemade and delicious! This is the best lunch food in Kinston, and it's not even close. My wife had the Ribeye sandwich 10/10 and I had the Gobler a country take on an Amarican classic turkey sandwich 10/10. The sides where amazing! Pay the 1.50 and branch out past the fries. I had the Squash casserole and it did not disappoint. My wife had the loaded mashed potatoes. Stop in enjoy the atmosphere and great food. read more

The pecan pulled pork is amazing. Like best thing ever. Also bought some chips and some ribs to cook at home. Super great!!

Quite honestly the best meal I've had in a long time. I got a cabbage roll dish called Ukrainian Holuptsi. Not your grandma's cabbage rolls! The flavors were very deep, rich, complex, and spicy. My side of squash casserole was excellent, also the best I've had in a long time. The portions were very generous; I had enough to bring home for a good-sized snack. At $10 for the entree, the side, and tea or lemonade, it was a very good deal. If I lived closer, I'd eat there every week, or more. However, some of Ms. Pridgen's entrees are available frozen at the New Bern Farmer's Market, so at least I can get some of this great food from that venue. When I go back, I plan to buy some of the specialty meats, sausages, etc. to cook at home. read more

Prepared food is really good but portions could be larger for the price they charge. Have never bought any of their meat but intend too
