This Little Pig — Restaurant in Town of Clarence

first of all, they don't always update the menu on their website so don't count on getting whatever's on there because we drove all the way out there and had specific dishes that we wanted and they didn't have them. the jalapeno blueberry ribs (bacon bones) are great when you specify that you want them extra cooked for tenderness.. they use local ingredients/farms, and even organic at times. most importantly- its clear the owner has passion for food, its an art to him. the dishes are creative and he is constantly experimenting to improve and please his customers, and asking for feedback. The only complaints are the seating is too crowded in some areas, tables are way too close and there is no privacy unless you can manage to get a table next to the wall. Also, ordering is too rigid, if there is something you like that you want to order separately or a different side of something they won't allow it, most restaurants are much more flexible and allow you to order something separately for an added charge to keep their customers happy, not this place. The food is much better than it was 3 years ago they have definitely improved a lot of the dishes! The hawg wings with the jalapeno blueberry sauce were delicious, A nice light crisp char on the outside with the meat fall off the bone tender, and flavorful. I will get those every time! The piggy pipe bomb stuffed peppers were also amazing, super flavorful! Although the meat was a bit dense, it's as if they took a tender meat and wadded it up so tight inside the pepper that after it cooks it's just very dense, if they didn't pack it so tight it would be a softer texture. Loved the pimento cheese sauce and corn over them. Spicy but Fantastic. My friend got the vegetable side dish and loved them. We got the baked beans, I wasn't a fan, the consistency was too gluey, and I didn't care for the flavor either. The fried green tomatoes with pepper jam were excellent. The braised greens with ham and beans was decent, a unique flavor, you could taste the vinegar in it, the butter beans in it were so soft and tender. The beef ragu risotto that we got for the entree neither one of us cared for, the texture was okay but neither one of us liked the robust flavor of the sauce. The shaved brussel sprouts salad was pretty good, very different, very nice combination of textures with the plump blueberries, smoked peanuts, etc it was very fresh tasting we both liked it. Did not care for the meatballs, didn't care for the texture or the flavor, had a distinct vinegary taste. The pecan walnut pie with fresh made whipped cream was amazing. I reviewed this restaurant 3 years ago and the food has significantly...

I've visited this place quite a few times over the past year. This was by far my worst experience, although the food was delicious, the waitress was rude to begin with, although the hostess was smiling and nice. They advertise all day mimosas, which are a small amount of champagne with mostly orange juice. The waitress ignored our request for our last round of mimosas after we had paid our bill. We had someone at the table not having any at all. The waitress went to 3 other tables, took their orders, filled a pitcher of water, complained to the bartender who happened to be the manager (who was also VERY rude). We asked for the manager, she came over and when we asked her why our request for another round of mimosas was ignored her response, with attitude, eyeroll, and hand on her hip, was "we are slowing you down because someone at this table has had 6 mimosas". Our first complaint to her though, was that our waitress was being rude since we had gotten there; she didnt care and said the reasoning that we were being ignored was that we had had too many mimosas. We had not done anything to indicate, to any skilled bartender and/or waiter/waitress that we should be cut off or that we were inebriated. We were originally complaining of lack of service. We told her that we had someone at the table who wasnt having any alcoholic beverages at all. She claimed it didnt matter and we were a liability. I have NEVER been told I am a liability at a restaurant after having unlimited mimosas. This manager is a liability to the profits of this restaurant. There has been multiple occasions that I have been to this establishment and had more than 6 mimosas. If you advertise "ALL DAY MIMOSAS" then serve them, especially knowing there is a designated driver and we were not being loud, obnoxious, or disruptive. Or put in your menu that there is a limit to how many you can be served. This was my friends first time visiting here, and this was a terrible first impression. She was so embarrassed as she has never been put in this situation before and is hesitant to come back for a second time. Good food doesnt equal good service. Skip the dishes next time. Overall everyone at the table left here feeling disappointed. *writing this after having 6 mimosas, which probably equal out to 1 glass...

This was our first time at This Little Pig, we were not disappointed. We had heard about them from the Iron Chef event. We were excited to get a reservation for a table on the patio for our anniversary. Upon arrival we were greeted at the hostess station and could see the inside looked really cute. Once Covid is over we look forward to dining inside and enjoying the charming ambiance with friends. For those that prefer outdoor dining the patio is large and had a variety of table sizes for various groups.

We started with some delicious cocktails, the blueberry mule and passion fruit margarita, and some apps. We tried the piggy pipe bombs and the corn zucchini cakes. Both were out of this world! The piggy pipe bombs are a must for anyone coming for the first time. The corn and zucchini cakes were light and had the perfect ratio of ingredients. They were topped off with a light cream and blueberry compote which added some richness to a light dish. We also tried the trifecta barbecue board which had ribs, a crispy chicken thigh and pulled pork. We felt the chicken thigh was the real winner here. It came out hot and has the perfect amount of fat and crunch. The pulled pork was very juicy and flavorful and definitely an upgrade to other versions I’ve tried elsewhere. The ribs had good flavor but were a little dried out in our opinion. We chose summer veggies and the pimento Mac and cheese as sides. The Mac and cheese was creamy and tasty but we were wishing for a little more pimento flavor.

The staff was attentive and wore masks, we felt there were a lot of safety precautions in place for everyone’s well being. There are different specials here every night and they have different things going on here all the time, check them out on social media.

Great restaurant with a slightly different point of view on classics. It was very refreshing to try new things. We look forward to coming back...
