Mad Pig Bar-B-Q — Restaurant in Lawrenceville

The BBQ sauces offered had very little taste to them. I tried all three separately and could barely taste any difference. I ended up just combining them all so I'd have enough to cover up the dry and overcooked pulled pork that tasted like it had been sitting around for far too long.

The brisket wasn't much better. Almost no juices coming from it and no distinct smoke ring. It looked like it had been cooked a few days prior, left to cool and placed in refrigeration for some time, then brought back out, warmed up and cut into slices. It definitely didn't have the look, feel, and taste like brisket that had been made fresh within the last day and right out of the smoker prior to being sliced and served.

They said that they had run out of their homemade sausage, so they were trying something else. Idk what their "something else" was supposed to be, but it tasted like cheap store bought sausage link, which was also lacking flavor and was like it had been sitting out too long.

I got an order of potato wedges as well. They were decent size, but there was almost no flavor to them either. They were barely warm like they'd been sitting under an underpowered heat lamp, in a low temp oven or something for too long as they were dried out too. They tasted like they'd been flash fried then left to sit as there wasn't even hardly any moisture in the potato itself anymore.

Overall, not impressed. I like going to smaller bbq joints because that's the kind of place I worked at when I was in high school and I have respect for the work that goes into running such a place. I just feel like this place could do so much better, and maybe part of the problem is lack of business flow being in a small town competing with many other restaurants in better locations in town. Regardless, if the quality isn't maintained then the chances of patronage isn't going to increase either. People will go out of their way for good "Q" if word gets out that a particular joint is worth the drive. Right now I'm just not...

Best place to eat bbq and I’ve eaten bbq all over this country! We make sure we eat here every year on our trip to Illinois! Super friendly staff and owner! This is a must do bbq! No where have I ever found a bbq burrito! Where has this been my whole life! Can’t wait to come back again and again! I just wish they could ship these burritos to Alabama!! If you’re within 750 miles of the Mad Pig it’s worth the...

Wonderful food and excellent BBQ sauce. Wish they would sell the sauce on the side as I have never tasted BBQ sauce this good! I had a pulled pork potato. Never heard of it and it was fantastic. Huge baked potato with heaping mound of bbq pulled pork. So big I had to take over half home to eat later! Surprisingly large menu for a small place with lots of selections and meals that include sides! A must stop and try place on...
