Piggy's BBQ, Wings & Fish — Restaurant in Plainfield

We are obsessed with this place! What a hidden gem of Plainfield!!! We haven’t been THIS excited about a restaurant and their food in such a LONG time, until we found this amazing place!

We stopped in late night, after the holidays, and it officially became our new favorite place! We walked in late night on a Friday and were made to feel very welcome.

The bartender Trina was super nice. She took care of us right away, we got our beers (They even have Werk Force on draft, love that they support local breweries!) and she took our order. Our food came out fast and hot.

We ordered the cod dinner (fish was so good, that tartar sauce was fab, I usually dislike tartar), greens, mac and cheese, wings and a Chicago St. Polish.

I am not usually a big meat eater other than fish but the wings and Polish were freaking fantastic! As was the mac and cheese… holy hella yum! And I had never had greens like that, such flavor!!! Everything! You could tell they put their love into making their food.

We finished eating and after enjoying kareoke, the DJ started playing all my favorite old school dance songs, the bartender even got me out on the floor! I hadn’t danced in years… but she brought me out there and made me feel like we had been friends for years, it was such a blast!

The place was fairly busy but everyone seemed happy and it just had this comfortable, fun, happy atmosphere. Everything was very clean, looked nice, we fell in love with the food, the place, the service and the people.

That night, I was so excited about going back, I actually had a dream about the food and the next day we went right back! Lol we were hooked.

This time, we ordered more greens and mac and cheese, as well as the brisket and also the brisket chili. Oh and the cornbread dipped into the greens and the chili too, the sauces… we even got to try a sample of their pork belly tips. HEAVENLY. All. Of. It.

How have I been missing out on all this FLAVOR my whole life?!?! We met the owner the second night and he was super nice too. We love their story and their food. We cannot wait to go back.

Plainfield, you must visit. Be patient if it is busy, it is well worth the wait (if you have to wait). This place turned me into a meat eater. Lol I am SO impressed and hungry for it again now typing this, darn it! It was THAT GOOD.

Thank you to Piggy’s and all the people we met there, you all are the best! See you soon, cheers!

P.S. These are just some pics, my phone died, but I plan on taking more next time. :) Also, sorry I wrote so much, just really excited...

Bad and Boujee All Wrong.

The food is not bad, but the waits usually are long and the customer service I received today was enough for me to part ways for good and advise others the same. I placed my order online just before 3pm I also received a call 5-10min later notifying me I could cancel for refund or accept the hour delay. Not sure if it was a system thing or shortage. I chose to accept the 5pm pickup to give myself more time. Upon arrival, I sent my 15 yr old inside to retrieve the order. After 15 minutes passed I also went inside to check on the status. The line was to the door and there was no one upfront. You would think a dine in establishment would have a greeter/ host. Another thing expected with all the waiting would be a proper waiting area instead of having customers huddled by the front door. Just before 530pm another customer and I received our orders. A young blonde woman emerged from the kitchen with 2 bags. I noticed the lack of and requested utensils. I also asked if there would be compensation for the drastic 2.5 hr wait, I received the most unnecessary, condescending, demeaning look and response from the lady, assuring me I was just another number out of a very long list. (20 for the day) Whether I was 19 or the 20th I’ve never been so diminished as a customer. After gathering my belongings, and the little dignity remaining we left. Upon checking the food I noticed missing items but couldn’t bring myself to step foot back inside. I ordered rib tips with fries, 2 brisket chilies with sour cream (extra charge) and a macaroni. I won’t recommend the macaroni but the ribs were fine. 2.5 hours and they neglected the requested sour cream. No compensation in the form of a drink or otherwise, just bad treatment...

A Carnivore's Dream: Pork Tips, Wings, and Fries Galore

Let me tell you, this meal was a symphony of textures and flavors that had my taste buds doing a happy dance. First up, the pork tips. These weren't your average, dry cubes of meat. These were tender morsels, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Each bite exploded with juicy flavor, and they paired perfectly with the accompanying barbecue sauce.

Speaking of the barbecue sauce, it was clear this wasn't your store-bought variety. This was homemade magic, a tangy, smoky concoction that clung to the pork tips and likely would have made a cardboard box taste delicious.

Now, onto the french fries. Forget those sad, limp excuses you sometimes get. These were a golden, crispy dream. Perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of fluffy potato on the inside, they were the ideal delivery system for the barbecue sauce. And let me tell you, the portion size was epic. There were enough fries to satisfy even the hungriest fry fanatic.

But wait, there's more! The chicken wings. These weren't just any fried wings, oh no. These were seasoned to perfection, with a secret blend that had me wondering what magical herbs and spices they used. The crispy skin gave way to juicy, flavorful chicken, and the barbecue sauce added another layer of deliciousness.

Overall, this meal was a knockout. Our waitress/ server Jill was amazing. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and had a very sweet personality. The tender pork tips, the unbelievably seasoned wings, and the piping hot, perfectly cooked fries were a match made in flavor heaven. It was a feast fit for a king (or queen) of carnivores, and I left feeling satisfied and wanting more....
