Hog Pit BBQ — Restaurant in Fayetteville

Finding it is very difficult if you don’t know where it is. Obviously where the Fayette County Bus Barn (school transportation basically) was they have built this whole “gathering” area. A park and a dog park and Line Creek Brewing, a pizza place an ice cream/candy store is all inside this building. Its backs up to an apartment complex (?) and it’s behind the county administrative office buildings.

Once you find it, you have to order from one or two windows via a iPad kiosk (unless you want to purchase wine then you get someone’s attention to show your id to purchase just that.) They send you a text (you have to put in your cell number when checking out) when your order is ready. Everything comes in a what I’m guessing is an eco-friendly cardboard like to go container. No markings on the containers as to what each one contains, so remember what you ordered.

Now food, we got three bbq pulled pork plates, all three with Brunswick stew, then Mac and cheese, baked beans and ‘home cut fried” and we got the catfish sandwich with Mac and cheese.

Pork was ok, it was dry. They give you this tiny (mad I mean tiny little container, think of a ketchup container) container of the sauce you picked. Definitely need to give more or advice you need to get more. The stew had potatoes in it. Uhm no! And it was bland. Baked beans were like bean mush and bland. Mac and cheese was greasy and literally some noodles (not even elbow noodles) and some melted cheese, that’s it! The only flavor it had was in the cheese. The “hand cut fries” were frozen shoe string fries. The catfish sandwich is basically frozen catfish nuggets on a bun with some mixed kale and lettuce leaves. Sodas are canned.

The young lady working there who seemed to be doing it alone was super sweet though.

Definitely not worth the money that we spent. Not somewhere I...

I’m not sure what is going on but lately the brisket has been tough and I just had the most over salted catfish in my life!! The piece of fish in the box I ate was like sucking a salt rock. I took a small piece and gave it to my son and then took a bigger piece and split it with my two sons. It was SUPER salty!! Like I couldn’t even stand to eat it. Took it back and asked for a refund they wanted to give me a giftcard but I only come here a few times a year so I declined. It took 15 mins for them to say they voided the order and it’ll go back on my card. Initially the chef declined the refund because he tasted a piece and declared it not salty. My son came in and also stated the fish was way too salty to eat and that’s when I got a voided slip and they said the money would refund to my account. I have all the feels about this when I first came the food was AWESOME but the last few times have been subpar.

**Waiting on the refund for the catfish to...

For the money you spend here the ribs should definately be a higher quality. If you like to spend $26+ on a half a rack of fat, than this is your place. I understand that they probably have heavy overhead being located in "The Bus Barn", but you have to spend some money on your product. The rib sauces were flavorless and the plastic ware is so cheap and flimsy that you are better off using your fingers. I don't typically write a review unless its good but this just plain sucked. We spend over 50 bucks on a half rack with 2 sides and a vegie plate. There is no overhead on dishes as everything is served on styrofoam "carry-out" trays, the sodas are in cans and the orders are placed on a kiosk.

On a positive note...They are located in a really cool place with a friendly bar. By the way, I saw a review that stated they had ribs and a beer, you get the beer from the bar next door, The Hog Pit doesn't sell...
