Smokn Pig BBQ - Valdosta (GA)

5 /5 Chris Manning: While traveling down to Florida we decided to give a BBQ restaurant a try. So, I popped open Google Maps and searched for BBQ Restaurants near me. Off we went a couple of exits down the highway. The restaurant was a little over a mile off the highway. The short detour was worth it because the food was good. We ordered a couple of pulled pork combos that came with 2 sides and tried 4 different which were pretty tasty. The only thing that we agreed on was that the greens were a tiny bit salty for our taste. Everything else was pretty spot on. The service was great and we were checked on plenty of times. Overall we enjoyed this BBQ restaurant and it was a great place to stretch our legs on a long trip.

5 /5 Steph: Absolutely AMAZING service, DELICIOUS Food at a great price point. The restaurant was extremely busy ( after church rush on a Sunday) however they handled it so well. Our food came out quickly and hot. There is a salad bar that had some basic options but everything was very fresh tasting. BBQ chicken was tender,juicy and had great flavor. The salad bar has a dessert option that includes banana pudding and peach cooler. Quaint decor inside, staff is warm and welcoming. Worth stopping in and having lunch!

5 /5 Mark Elliott Miller, MPH: So glad we discovered this awesome BBQ place on a visit to Valdosta. Having lived in Texas and near Kansas City, I know good BBQ and this restaurant has it down! I enjoyed the St. Louis ribs with a side of cole slaw and Texas toast. The ribs were meaty and tender. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich with baked potato and Brunswick stew. The pulled pork was lean but a little dry, although the sauce made it tasty. The Brunswick stew was excellent! Our waitness was attentive and lunch prices were great. Atmosphere is patriotic and perfect for families.

2 /5 Misty: I hate to be negative, but I want to give an honest review. We did not have any of the pork or ribs, so I cant review on that. Pros: The tea was really good. The salad bar was nice, fresh and well stocked. A good price at only $3 to add to your meal. The atmosphere was upbeat and inviting. Cons: The burnt ends did not look or taste like brisket. I usually dont eat brisket because it holds too much of a smokey flavor, but this had none. Maybe it was the pecan wood they used, because Im used to using hickory or mesquite. The brisket itself only came sliced and not chopped and was half fat. My hubby loves chopped brisket but did not care for theirs or the burnt ends. The baked beans tasted like they were from a can. All of the bbq sauces were sweet based. Even the Carolina was more sweet then vinegary or mustard. The fried okra was too tuff to eat and my smoked chicken was so dry I needed tt take a drink just to swallow the breast.

5 /5 Kathleen Jacobs: If you’re in Valdosta and want a great, convenient BBQ stop, with big portions and a comfortable sit-down environment, Smok’n Pig is a good choice. My husband had the St Louis ribs and I had a burger and both were really good. Steff D was so very nice. We didnt have time to so on the gift area but theres lots of sauces, t-shirts, and spices to take home with you.
