The Smokin’ Pig — Restaurant in Grayville

We've been here twice and the food is good. My only complaint is that both times we've been, the servers weren't very knowledgeable. The first time, I think the young man was new so I was understanding of that. Rather than guess, he would find an answer to my questions -I appreciate that!

Most recently though, our waitress just guessed. It wasn't super busy so I'm not sure why she would do that. My question was in regard to the Southern Smoke Burger. She said "it's a big burger" so while we were deciding I hopped on Google to see if there were any photos of that item and came across what looked like a really big sandwich piled with bbq. When she returned, I showed her that photo and asked if that was the Southern smoke burger and she said she thought it was. Great! I want that! Well it turns out that that photo was not of this particular burger. What I received was much smaller. I didnt complain as what I received did have the mozz sticks and a spoonful of mac n cheese. But being that this burger was $16 I really expected more. It was good, I'm not disappointed in that; but I wished I had saved $5 and got the Chicken Sandwich or another burger instead. What irritated me was that the waitress guessed instead of getting me the answer. What made me even more upset was that a bit after the waitress brought the check and asked if we needed a box, we decided that we did need a box after all. I guess because we'd already paid (I left about 22% tip) the waitress was done with us. I couldn't get her attention to let her know that we changed our minds and did indeed need a box. Fortunately another waitress obliged. We will be back as I like the place, they have good food and the owner who we met on our first trip was very friendly. I only wish that this particular waitress would work harder to improve her people skills. I noticed on other reviews that a waitress was less than friendly. Unfortunately I cannot remember her name. Pictured first is the southern smoke burger: a good burger but not a big burger as described by our waitress. The second picture is what I thought I would be getting. If this item is not on the menu, I wish they would either remove it or tell the waitstaff what that actually is so that others aren't disappointed like I was. Btw the chicken strips were very good! ...

Been here a few times since there isn't much in the town to eat. I'm here for work from Houston Texas. We walked in and realized it was 10 mins before close so we didn't want to be rude and try an sit down. We work all day so there isn't a big window for us to get food out here with our work schedule. We'll we walked out and was about to go somewhere else an the owner came out an said "where yall going" to us we had mentioned we didn't want to be rude because It was almost closed. We'll he then invited us in to dine an enjoy our meal. So much hospitality I had to come leave this review. We had the wings which were delicious. Stuffed... all of us with the perfect smoked flash fried and sauced wings. He then told us that we could have the leftover wings so he is only selling quality fresh meat. Left out with wings for all the line crews staying here for our 10 day hitch. Thank you for making us welcome an ill be sure to drag all the rest of the line crews here after work next rotation!...

Waited for this restaurant to open today. Was so excited when we were told they have gluten free options. However, the wait at the door for someone to seat us was 20 minutes too long with tables open and not one of the servers told us we could seat ourselves. The bartender thankfully let us know. Waited another 10 minutes for the server to come to the table. I asked what on the menu is gluten free (nothings labeled) she flat out told me nothing. Short and snappy. So I asked her why the office would tell me they did. She said let me go check in the back. I did not stay long after that. So unfortunately my family and I will not be able to leave a review here about the food because we have never had it and we are not from here so we will not be back. Young staff here. Bartender was cool though and the restaurant looked clean...
