The best thing Zombie Pig BBQ had going for it is its advertisements. Seriously, their little zombie pig is on everything--shirts, hats, and even the frozen section of meals they have. It honestly was kind of cute and had I enjoyed this place, I'm sure I'd have bought a shirt there. That being said, meh on the food. The staff was super kind and polite, but the food left a lot to be desired. We shared a plate of all their meats, plus had two sides: Cuban black beans and macaroni and cheese. Shockingly, given these parts, the Cuban black beans tasted great. I wouldn't say they were authentic given that I'm Cuban-American, but compared to everything else, they were downright heavenly. The macaroni and cheese, in comparison, was pretty bland. I'd say a Stouffer's macaroni and cheese tastes better as it is typically better seasoned. Needless to say, not a fan. The meat platter, full of ribs, pulled pork and chicken, as well as sausages, was hit or miss. The pulled chicken was dry, the ribs did not fall off the bone, but the pulled pork was great. Cannot comment on the sausages as I didn't try those. Despite the meats not being properly tender or wet, the seasoning they used in itself wasn't bad. I just feel it was missing something. What that something is... who knows... what I do know is that Zombie Pig, for all its above average reviews, was average at best. I've definitely had better BBQ. read more

Meh.... Clean and quiet atmosphere, service was fine, and bbq was just ok. Nothing too special about this place. If you're looking for great bbq - keep searching. Had the 4-meat sampler. Ribs are served dry and weren't bad. Pulled pork was mixed with a lot of sauce and didn't taste fresh. Chicken was a chunky mix of white and dark meat and had weird textures at times. Sauce is SUPER sweet and didn't have a ton of flavor. Mac-n-cheese was not good. I wouldn't go back - tho I wouldn't worry about the food making you a zombie either. read more

Easy parking, delicious smells! Great seating and good prices! Try the 2 or 4 meat samplers and get some sides! Try ribs, smoked pulled chicken and pork. Beans, potatoe salad and Mac n cheese for sides. SAVE ROOM FOR PIE! Banana cream was a nice treat! read more

Zombie Pig BBQ - Sampler plate - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

See all

I went in the early afternoon, and the place was empty. That's not a terrible thing, as it is a weekday, and most people are at work. I ordered the 3 meat sampler and a side of potato salad. My meats were pulled pork, smoked sausage, and ribs. The pulled pork and smoked sausage were outstanding! The ribs were tough, and I didn't finish them. I like a Mayo-based potato salad, and this one was. However, it was pretty bland, so I'd probably get the baked beans if I were to go back. They serve Pepsi products, sweet and unsweetened tea. The sweet tea is good. I swear I saw in a review that they sold beer, which was one reason I was going to try out the place. I do appreciate a nice beer with my bbq. That being said, would I come back again? Yes. I just wouldn't get the ribs. read more

Zombie Pig BBQ - 3 Three-Meat Sampler - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Great southern barbecue and hospitality. They were patient and gracious to a large tired and hungry family right before closing. Every one of their house sauces was worthwhile. Their vinegar mustard sauce was not something I'd seen before in a long experience with a variety of southern barbecue traditions and their pulled chicken was in the top 5 I've had. For a quality test-I ate long after I quit being hungry and everything tasted just as good. Highly recommend stopping by here if you're in the area and making a trip if you're not too far away. In the 4 days we've spent in Georgia so far, eating out every meal, this one has been a common consensus favorite. read more

Great bbq place in north Columbus. It's a small restaurant in a short strip mall in a nicer part of Columbus. The employees were friendly and inside clean. Just a few seats. Not an extensive menu, but a few solid options. Their $8 lunch special is a good deal for bbq, two sides and a drink. Highly recommend you give Zombie Pig a try if you're a fan of good bbq. Some of the best bbq I've ever had - the pulled pork was very juicy and had excellent flavor, even without sauce. But their spicy sauce is also really good, though not very spicy. They also have a sweet sauce and mustard-based, but I didn't try those. A customer there recommended their "fire water" bbq sauce. The employee gave me that "are you sure" look. Fire water is an appropriate name; only try it if you like REALLY spicy hot food or just have a death wish. Their Brunswick stew is also really good. The baked beans were pretty good too, though not at the level of the pork or stew. A little spicy bbq sauce added a nice flavor to the beans; adding some pulled pork was good also. read more

An interesting name that will grab your attention. The owner or manager was extra nice and came around and chatted with folks. He mentioned that there would be a brisket special the next day and to come by since it's a rare occasion. The hubs and I came here around 10 ish to 11 so we had beaten the lunch crowd on this nice Thursday. As it got closer to noon, more and more folks came in to either dine or to go their food. My pick of the sausage mac dog was so so. This was what you'd imagine: a hot dog with mac and cheese. Oh. There were pickles atop that made it more unique. As interesting as it sounded, the sausage was a rather burnt looking thing. The mac and cheese sort of just toppled atop making this a rather messy item to eat. Overall, it was a unique experience, but I think I should have chosen the other dog (zombie sausage). The side of mac was okay. It looked pretty cheesy, but it lacked the flavor and wowness. Perhaps salt would have done it some justice. I do give them props since it had a nice thick, cheesy texture. It was creamy, but wasn't flavorful. The brunswick stew side was so so. It was a small sampling where I felt was pretty watery. It was more of a soup than stew imo. Though the appearance looked like it was packed with ingredients and all sorts of goodness, the flavor was meek. The hubs' 3 meats plate was a nice sampling of the variety: smoked sausage, pull pork, and ribs. The sausage was the same as in my dog so it's still burnt looking with a slightly smokey taste. The pull pork had a slight sweetness to it that made it really distinctive. The ribs were good, but you can't really dislike ribs. It had a slightly burnt profile with a balanced ratio of meat and fat. All were overall pretty average BBQ items. This place is really a solid 3 1/2 stars for me, but my experience was a positive one so 4 stars it is. read more

Drove almost an hour and a half to try something new, to get out of the house and blow the steam off safely. Read that customers needed to wear masks to go in and was happy about that, and was in the mood for some bbq. We had pulled pork and the sausage as they had run out of ribs at 415pm. After we ordered, we get it at counter and went and sat at table. As we are eating , we see one of the staff members has mask off behind counter and wondered why he took it off. We expressly wanted to give a local company our business. It wasn't a bad experience, but was missing something. Maybe it's just the time we're in, idk. read more

Serving size was excellent. Service was pleasant. BBQ flavor overall was just meh. Some fixings with the QTater like sour cream and chives would have been nice. Meat was particularly pepper forward. read more

The service and food was solid. I probably wouldn't get the Brunswick stew again, but the pulled pork sandwhich was good. My boss got the 4 meat late and really liked everything and it was the perfect amount of food. The team that helped us made good suggestions and we'd come back here. read more

Ok so on our travels between PCB and Atlanta we typically stop clear view BBQ isn't back open so we decided on another high rated BBQ Zombie Pig BBQ. I will say, don't bother. The ribs are shown to be smoked yet they had no smoke ring and worse no flavor. The special veg today was collards. Again the driest I've ever seen and made with chicken and again no flavor. The pork sandwich was better but thankfully their sauce is good. And the service is horrible, rude, not friendly at all. Beware read more

I would come back just for the meat. Sides are lacking in flavor. Service is great. read more

Zombie Pig BBQ - Stew taste like vegetable soup and baked beans straight taste like they came out of a can. The meat was amazing though. - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

The place is clean and inviting. They also have great marketing! Overall the food was good. Nothing out of this world. I recommend the Zombie Dog and ribs. Some of the sides such as the Mac N Cheese and coleslaw we're bland. However, I would definitely go back and if you're in the mood for BBQ, this is a good place to try! read more

I was in the mood for BBQ and this place had great ratings! We're passing through town so I placed an order through GrubHub (convenient!). We ordered two pulled pork sandwiches and a 2 meat platter (ribs and smoked sausage). As well as potato salad, baked beans and Brunswick stew. First off, the pulled pork was very flavorful and moist. Don't worry about wondering if a sandwich will be enough food for you.... they PACK the meat on. I was pleasantly surprised. The bbq sauce was really good (we had spicy and sweet). Though I was really disappointed that we were not given pickles or onions (even paid extra for extra pickles). They make the sandwich! Am I right?! The potato salad was sour cream based, which I didn't realize until I tasted. I have a dairy allergy so I couldn't eat it. Hubby and I both agreed that it needed salt. The baked beans were SO incredibly sweet. Like sugar sweet. They needed salt. Or something to counterbalance the sweetness. The Brunswick stew is being saved for later, so I'm not sure how it is. read more

I had the ribs and it was delicious. The service was great and friendly and the ambiance was good.

Service was cold and inattentive, the restaurant was clean, however for a bbq restaurant the menu was limited and set up like a subway version of a bbq restaurant. I didn't like that the food was already cooked and sitting in warmers out front. read more

We had Pulled Pork, Slaw, and Brunswick Stew as takeout and tried all 3 sauces, so the review is based only on those. The place was empty when we got there and the one woman working the counter was very sweet - great service. - The pork is fine. Not the best not the worst and has some seasoning beyond just smoke on it. Huge generous portion. 1 sandwich easily has meat for 2 sandwiches. - The sauces were mediocre. The mild is very thick and sweet. The Zombie is hot as you would expect. The mustard was sadly very hot too - was hoping for a medium at best. Was inedible to us. Don't mind heat, but want flavor not overpowered by heat. - The slaw was tasteless. It looked promising but the vegetables were so thin it had no crispness and the dressing was just wet with no flavor. The blandest slaw ever. - The Brunswick stew was inedible. One bite each and we tossed a pint away. It is thick and tastes like a bottle of ketchup. When we are back in Columbus would we try it again? Probably not. If we were local I'd give the other items a try. read more

Great bbq! What a treat. On our way home from the beach, our family of four stopped in for lunch. We tried a little of everything - pulled pork, pulled chicken, smoked sausage, and ribs (sampler platter is a great choice for two adults). All were excellent and we loved the barbecue sauce variety. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would recommend! read more

Can care for lunch after reading with some reviews we walk in and were greeted by a semi-friendly staff they just seemed a little quiet we could hardly hear them. They offered us help with the menu which was very kind. The lobby itself was clean look like an authentic barbecue joint, and I like that the menu was up on TVs and clear and easy to read. We ordered the zombie, sausage, dog, and the sausage sandwich meal. This is what breaks my heart. The barbecue sauce is on the table were good they each had label so you knew what you were getting, which is great, but each have their own levels of flavor from Smokey to spicy to Zingy. The sausage dog came on a bun for like sausage, mac & cheese, and some pickles. The goods about it was a decent portion full length dog was nice as well as a generous person and mac & cheese, and a nice top and the pickles. The downside to it was it was a generic hotdog bun that wasn't warmed up or toasted or steamed at all. The sausage was old over churned and over cooked. The inside was mush the casing had no snap. It was very bland for mac & cheese while it was creamy and had a good amount of noodles to sauce there was no flavor. It literally tasted like just macaroni and milk the pickles I don't know if they were homemade or not but those were some of the best pickles definitely like the pickles. For the sausage sandwich meal deal had a great amount of portion was honestly surprised by how much sausage came on the sandwich, so that was great again the downsides are generic basic bun that was not toasted. The sausage was as I said, previously horrid on multiple aspects. The potato salad was good, but bland as well. I only got hints of dill. That was it. The rest of it tasted just like nothing. Definitely needed some seasoning, and again same issues with the mac & cheese as I previously stated, I did enjoy the fountain machine that had the flavor combinations you could put in your sodas or beverages. That was a nice touch. The sweet potato salad, while you could tell it was homemade and have a good flavor was literally the size of a pinky finger. It was the smallest slice of pie I've ever seen. It was half the size of a kid slice I think . Can also appreciate the fact that they are a changing station in the restroom. That was lovely . Won't come back to this establishment unfortunately just buy the lack of flavor and authenticity we were hoping for. read more

I was skeptical, based on the strip mall appearance of the location, but boy, I'm glad I tried it anyway. The food was delicious and plentiful. It's not the best BBQ I've ever had, but it's quite good, and the price makes it well worth it. The price was way lower than near where I live. The Walking Dead touches were amusing. The take-home options and pricing made me wish I lived nearby. If you're ever near here, even if just going down the interstate (like I was), check this place out. read more

The ribs were large, meatballs and very tinder dry rub was tasty and we tried a couple os dauces, sweet and Carolina Alabama White. Both were wonderful.

We loved this place and are actively recommending it to our traveling friends! read more

We had lunch at zombie pig right after picking up our son from boot camp at Fort Moore. We ordered a full rack, a pulled pork plate, a sausage plate, and a few sides. We loved everything!

I've heard so much good reviews from people who posted and those whom I spoke to in person and they DID NOT LIE!! My family was NOT disappointed when we first dinned in for our very first time!! I've eaten here for lunch 5x times and enjoyed my time her every single time. Staff were awesome, food quality and quantity were amazing, scenery was basic and to the point! Smelling the aroma of meat, potatoes, all the goods being cooked and smoked in the back ground was always a PLUS!! Only reason I took a star out (MORE LIKE HALF) is bc the sausage was just a plain ole dog to me??!? So, please have diff styles of sausage. Maybe some Bodain sausages?? Either way, I'll be coming back as much as I can when I can. OH THEY GIVE MILITARY/ VET discounts!! read more

Not bad!!! The sauces make this joint.... great food, very friendly staff, very clean. Will gladly patronize them when back in the area! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for some time. We finally went last week. I am sorry to say it's not an experience I particularly want to repeat. I will say their ribs were the most tender I have had in a restaurant. The issue for me was their sides. I had black beans and rice. They were just flavorless. My husband had baked beans. They tasted straight from a can. Nothing special or particularly good about them. He also had the cole slaw. It had a very strange taste, maybe seasoned with something unusual? I did not really like their selection of bbq sauces either. I tried the mustard sauce on my ribs, but it was so hot that my mouth was still burning when we left. I might get ribs from there to take home, but won't bother to eat in the restaurant again. read more

The service and food were both excellence. The ambience made me feel rushed to eat and leave.

Delicious food. Friendly service, did I mention the delicious food? Definitely a gem.

Have you ever tasted sunshine, or happiness? Have you ever tasted the feeling, of the warm embrace from your mother while you have a cold? My answer would have been no, until I ate this delectably delicious, certifiably sensational food. I say "food" because everything there is good!!! All the meats are juicy, and all the sides are wonderfully crafted for a jolly good time! You might think I'm being a bit over dramatic, but when I say I would give my left thumb for this food... I mean it! Get ready to experience the childhood you always wanted when you try this amazing food, which screams America and freedom at your tastebuds! 1000/1 for sure! read more

Food is decent. I'm more of TX bbq kind of person. But the portions are good & service was extremely friendly.

We both had Pulled Pork - and both thought the BBQ was good and ample portion. Brother had BBQ on Baked Potato - the topping was limited to Cheese, possibly cheesewhiz - he was expecting more toppings. I had the Plate with 2 sides - Brunswick Stew and Black Beans & Rice. The sides were tasty but portions were small. The bread was 2 slices plain white Sunbeam loaf bread. The Service was basically Order at Counter & they bring out to the table. The ambiance was that of a sandwich shop - but very nice & clean inside. Extra point for having hot water in Women's RR altho it had to run a bit to warm up. Also a nice changing table in Women's RR. Men's RR also clean. There are some photos & plaques to recognize Military Service mbrs but not overdone. They also have a Freezer with a variety of prepared food to take home. We grew up in a NC town renowned for BBQ. We felt like this is one of the better BBQ places we've tried. Zombie Pig also offers BBQ Chicken or Ribs. There were few cars when we arrived at 6 pm which gave us pause. But several customers came in while we were there. It seems like it may be a more popular lunch spot. They were out of a few items. Zombie Pig is a place to try if looking for a reasonably good BBQ meal. read more

Yummy BBQ. The bbq sauce (clear bottle) on the pull pork was life!!!! And of course that sweet tea!! Had to bring some back to the hotel.

The service was super quick. Employees were very polite and helpful. The food was fresh and really really good. The value is hard to beat. You get plenty of food for a decent price. read more

Really great bbq! The frozen dinners available are also delicious. Have to get there soon as the bbq and sides will run out fast.

Overall an awesome experience at Zombie Pig. The barbecue was delicious and I REALLY enjoyed the ribs. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and peppery which complimented my 2 meat sampler very well. I loved all the sauces provided at the table so I really can't choose which one I really enjoyed the most. The staff was also very friendly, the man who I assume was the owner comes up to every table and asks if you need anything and to let him know whenever if you did. I really like the chill ambiance at this place and definitely will be back here again soon! read more

Took a chance on a small restaurant in a plaza. NO REGRETS. The Zombie Sausage covered in bbq pork and coleslaw was hands down the best bbq-sausage combo I have ever had in my life.

Five stars for our take out BBQ. Cannot rate the service but our BBQ was fantastic. Please order Moms Cuban black beans. They were amazing and as good as you would find in south Florida.

Zombie Pig BBQ - Sampler plate with brisket, ribs, and piggie. Delicious. Local craft beer as well. - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

My 300th review on Yelp! And of course, I would pick a BBQ place to review for my milestone review. First of all, props to picking out an eye-catching name when it comes to a BBQ joint. I bet Zombie Pig is an one-of-kind name. The decor inside isn't very decorative though. The menu hangs above the counter. I do not know if this is the norm or not, but my plate was handed to me before I walked away from the counter. I went with the 3 meat - ribs, pork, and brisket with slaw and potato salad. As far as a BBQ joint goes, all 3 meats were well-prepared. The ribs were huge spare ribs with a sweet glaze. The pork was pulled and covered with the same sweet glaze. The brisket was more like a roast. I liked the ribs and pork better, but the brisket was still pretty good. The potato salad is a chunky red potato in some kind of mayo or cream concoction with egg. I say it was ok. The slaw was crunchy and a lot of dill. I did not like it. I asked the owner, who was working the register at the counter, if I didn't like the slaw could I have something else. He said sure and made good on it. I went back to the counter and apologized about not liking the slaw. He said it wasn't for everyone and asked me what I wanted. I went with the mac and cheese which was definitely the best side. The mac and cheese looked like they poured a big can of Sam's nacho cheese on it but it certainly did not taste that way! There are 3 sauces that are each inspired by some zombie term. I don't remember the zombie terms but I can describe each sauce. The clear bottle is a sweet and rich sauce. I liked it the best. The red is like the sweet but with hot sauce. The yellow is a mustard sauce that I did not like. I usually love mustard sauce but this was an exception. It was more like a strong runny mustard. Besides the mustard sauce and the slaw, (which was replaced by the excellent service), there was one abomination that I could just not let go of. Pardon the pun but gold peak tea from a machine is an abomination I never want to see in any restaurant. I want freshly brewed sweet tea that costs a restaurant very little and makes a good profit off drinks. This is where I deduct a star on otherwise, an excellent BBQ joint with 5-star service. read more
