The Pig On Beale — Restaurant in Memphis

As a big, giant, Fat man, my opinion on BBQ automatically carries more weight.

Pig on Beale is an easily overlooked kind of place that you would be sorry if you missed it.

I ordered the BBQ Platter that came with Ribs, Chicken, and Pulled pork.

I also asked for a little taster of their smoked turkey.

The pulled pork: the burnt ends were CRISPY, juicy, and filled with a beautiful smoke with every bite. I combined them with the spicy sauce on the table-

The Chicken: the jumbo wings had this crunchy, smokey char around them. When I bit into them this little bit of BBQ Chicken juice dribbled down my chin.

The turkey: tasted like someone sang love songs to the trees as they were growing in order to make them smoke that much better later on.

Saving the best for last.

The ribs. Omg the ribs!: The plate came out and the ribs looked like they were using all of their last strength to hold onto the bones, and just like Jack on that door in Titanic, they lost their struggle to hold on. They were hard to eat because they literally fell off the bones. They were smoked with love. Then, I added some extra rib sauce. I would drink that sauce if I could. It was a tangy, smokey sauce that danced with the crispy, crunchy, juicy parts of those ribs. I struggled and finally gave up, having to eat the ribs with a FORK!

Again, fat man, who has tried ribs in all varieties from Texas, to Chicago, to the Carolinas, to Alabama, and even to South Korea, so my opinion automatically matters more.

These are the 2nd best ribs I have EVER had in my entire life! Which means that you should plan a trip around coming here. It's...

I was initially really excited to eat here! After the experience we had i will never come back to The Pig when i am visiting Memphis again. We ordered the Bbq Lovers Feast for pick up. When the waitress brought us the food she had already tied up the bags and handed it to us with a smile. When we got to the car we checked our bags and noticed that we were missing 2 of the sides and the meat was burnt (not smoked). Everything looked disgusting! And the side of beans were all over the bag. Paying $50.80 i expected way more from this place. We went back to let me know that this is not what we expected and that we wanted our money back. The waitress went to the back kitchen. When she came back she said, “ Our policy states that once you leave the store and are gone for more than 15min we can not grant you a refund”. I asked to see “the policy” that she was referring to, because there were no signs stating anything like that or anything on the receipt. They never provided me with a “policy”. Plus we hadn’t been out of the restaurant for more than 10-12min. I even spoke to the owner on the phone and he was not willing to give acceptable customer service. While conversing with the waitress and some other random man (not sure if he worked there or not), two other patrons saw how we were being treated and stated to the manager on the way out that they would not be eating there again. At the end of all this we did not receive a refund or even an apology. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! But if you do, don’t expect great customer service from beginning to end. Hopefully i will be able to post pictures with...

I attend Memphis in May every year & this is usually 1 of my favorite spots. I literally go there every time I'm in Memphis. BUT..........This year myself & the motorcycle club I belong to attended the Bikers roundup being held this Aug & I insisted that we go here. Get in, get seated & the vibe felt off from the start. The waitress really acted like we were bothering her when asking questions about seating. She then cleans a table big enough for all of us to sit at, but left the table soaking wet. We used almost a whole roll of paper towels to get all that water off the table. She was really rude & rushing us to order. I was the last to receive my food. I had ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of coleslaw as usual. BIG MISTAKE!! I was chewing & felt something against my tongue & pulled the longest piece of hair out of my mouth. I was so disgusted. I asked for the manager & she comes out with a "why are u bothering me" look on her face. I show her what I had just pulled out of my mouth & the only thing she can say is I'll make u a fresh 1. I couldn't get too upset being im the 1 who chose the spot when everyone else wanted to go somewhere else. The rude waitress brings out another 1, but of course I'm not about to eat that but I do finger thru the sandwich & when I tell u they had cut up sooooo much fat in that sandwich. I WILL NEVER visit this place again not because it was the 1st bad service I have had there in years, but the lack of care they had when I showed her that long piece of hair & of course she walked from the back without a...
