The Purple Pig — Restaurant in Marlborough

If you're looking for the real deal TRUE BBQ taste, look no further than this gem!

Being from Texas, I hold a very HIGH standard to BBQ, especially when it comes to brisket.

I've been in the NE area since March and have been visiting Kosa next door since then. Every time I pick up my goodies, I always smell The Purple Pig and was tempted to try but never gave in until recently.

Our shop just moved down the road, and the other day after work I had a gut feeling and said to myself "it's time to try the pig"

Unfortunately, I arrived a little too late and the last bit of brisket was sold for the night. However, the girl behind the counter talked me into the Burnt Ends which I ordered on the Mac & Cheese (not pictured here) and turned out to be beyond my expectations.

While waiting for my food, I was scrolling through my phone minding my own, and heard outta nowhere "Hey, are you from Texas?" Turns out, a former coworker of mine from years back working back home, was standing there and recognized me! Completely mind blown!! Years apart, 2k miles from where we worked, millions of people in between, and we cross paths in a BBQ spot in the middle of Massachusetts of all places!!!

Today I decided I was going to catch the brisket before it sold out. And that it did!!!

Again, I ordered with the Mac & Cheese because its so dang cheesy and delicious, definitely made from scratch and not a box!!

The brisket was exactly what I expected after trying the Burnt Ends the first time. Flavorful, juicy, lean and tender! The bark, smoke ring, and overall appearance and taste made me feel back at home!! Seriously, I fell into a comfort state of bliss where for a moment it was as if I was sitting back in Texas enjoying it with family and friends!!

Please keep doing exactly what it is you are doing! I'm Proud of you and Texas...

Wow, talk about the most delicious cornbread ever to hit these tastebuds. This was it, no butter needed but when I put just a dab on, the entire flavor profile elevated. Seriously, it was an experience in itself. The cowboy beans are second to none, they had huge pieces of smoked pork and sweet as you would want, without crossing into candy land. The chicken wings are huge and tasty, went with the BBQ because that flavor…… mind blown. The pork nachos did the job and were plenty filling. Collard greens and the Texas meat chili slapped!!! This is BBQ at it best and I will make the hour plus ride anytime. The staff are amazing, they are proud of the product served and every one smiled as the accolades abound could not be held back. Good food and service this good has to be complimented. The three little pigs panini is outstanding! The sandwich has balance with the pickle cutting the mustard (did you see what I did there) so well that the sandwich stood tall with the accompanying tater tots. They are in a league of their own, for sure!!! You have to check this place, not one BBQ lover could ever have expectations that they wouldn’t meat! (I did it...

This place is AMAZING! Randomly found this place yesterday while at a baseball tournament down the road. We had the Nashville Hot Chicken, tater tots, hush puppies, and coleslaw. We loved everything. The Nashville Hot chicken was THE BEST. The heat and flavor was just perfection. Sometimes, when I order NH chicken other places it is just all heat and not great flavor but this flavor was just amazing. The chicken was crispy and the pickles on top tasted like they make them right there themselves. I am guessing they do. This was a hit with all 3 people I was with (one of them super picky btw). Before we left Marlborough today I asked the kids (teens 16-18) where they wanted to get food from before we got on the road and they all said "Purple Pig" immediately. My only regret is that we didn't find this place earlier in the week... there were so many more things I wanted to try on the menu!! Also, just wanted to note that you can eat inside at a table. We almost did not go in because we weren't sure we could sit down and eat. There are 2 tables in there so I am sure glad that we did go in! If we are near Marlborough again, we will...
