Pig N Out

Pig N Out

After touring the Reynolda House, I was starting to get hungry. I had originally planned on going to another restaurant, but couldn’t find it. I was absolutely starving and didn’t feel like looking anymore and decided I would pull into the next restaurant I saw. That is when I smelled the heavenly smells of BBQ coming from the Pig N Out. I parked my car and followed my nose.

The restaurant is located in the front of a strip mall. You walk up to the counter and they have a board laid out for you with the menu. Since this is a BBQ place that makes up the majority of the menu. Here you will find sandwiches, plates, and combos. In addition to BBQ you will find burgers, hotdogs, fried chicken, salads, and flounder. Those watching their figure or non-meat eaters won’t find much here. Of course I am guessing if you are in that category you’re not going to frequent BBQ places anyway.

I placed my order then waited a few minutes for my meal. The décor here is nothing fancy and nondescript. But BBQ fans aren’t coming here for the décor anyway. I ordered a BBQ sandwich, onion rings, and my Sundrop (a local soda). Just in case you have missed my previous BBQ dissertation, here it goes again. North Carolina BBQ has two different styles. In the western part of the state people like a tomato/sweet based sauce. The eastern part of the state has a vinegar based sauce (also known as Lexington style). So the BBQ here is Eastern style, pulled pork, and comes with BBQ or red slaw. BBQ slaw uses BBQ vinegar instead of mayo. And pork rules in the Carolinas baby!

After getting my order I sit down ready for my ‘Q. And boy oh boy is this stuff good. You get a huge pile of onion rings and they are amazing. Light and not the least bit greasy. My taste buds are happy. I am here about 2 and there is a pretty good crowd. While eating the owner comes you and talks to each customer asking if everything is OK. I tell him it was wonderful and I was glad I didn’t find the restaurant I originally was seeking.

Make sure you come here for some of the best BBQ around. You won’t be sorry.
