Smokin' Pig Bbq - Bowdon

Smokin’ Pig catered our wedding in Carrollton, GA. Telisha and her staff were an absolute pleasure to work with. The food was so good and the display and set up was perfect! I would absolutely recommend Smokin’ Pig. They worked hard to make sure everything was perfect!

I was very impressed by this family run restaurant, because they pay attention to all the tiny details from the bathrooms to the lighting to the condiments and the food was delicious. Let 's start with the service: we found them to be very friendly and willing to take time to explain the menu, and to show us our options. We were helped by three people: the owner, our server, and a young woman who delivered the food, and all three were attentive, without hovering. The food itself was very yummy, and tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. We ordered the BBQ Platter and the Chicken Fried Steak, and both were delicious. Nothing was greasy or dry, and we found the BBQ to be moist and tender, and the steak to have the perfect amount of breading. The sides we ordered were Coleslaw, Baked Beans and Mac Cheese, and all three were excellent. The baked beans come with a touch of pineapple, which was nice, the coleslaw did not contain mayonnaise, (which I 'm used to , but it was still REALLY good, and the Mac Cheese was surprisingly light and fluffy, and full of flavor. (I 'm used to having it served very dense and usually with much more oil. So this was a very refreshing change of pace, but quite welcome. Also, deserving special mention is the gravy which was SOOO good. I never do this, but even after I had finished my Chicken Fried Steak, I had some gravy just by itself, and it was just perfect. (And believe me, I 'm not someone who would normally just eat gravy by itself. Afterward, we ordered a slice of the Pecan Pie, (with a side of ice cream , and it was pretty good. It was light and easy to slice, as compared to some I had last week by a company which supposedly specialized in it, but made it so dense that it was like cutting through cold caramel with a fork. So this was definitely a huge improvement, but I think I 'm more of a Brownie guy than a pecan person. As far as the restaurant itself, it was very clean, well lit, and the bathroom was kept up quite nicely. (It looked like something you 'd see in a nice country, home, more than in a business. The decor shows nice personalized touches that you 'd expect to see in a non corporate restaurant, such as framed news clippings of local athletes, and other memorabilia which how that this restaurant has genuine ties to the community. The kitchen looked brand new, (which it turns out it was , and it was very bright and clean inside. I stopped to tell the chef how much we enjoyed our meals, and he was friendly enough to ask what we ordered, and was nice enough to take a minute to talk. The bottle of BBQ Sauce on the table was clean, and didn 't have the usual greasy streaks that are common in so many restaurants. [My only minor complaint is that I hope they add Tabasco to their list of available hot sauces. All in all, this was a great experience, and we plan to visit again and again. Which is why I 'm baffled by a couple of the reviews I saw that rate them with a on or two star rating particularly when it comes to the seasoning. The person who called the food BLAND was obviously not talking about the meal I had, which had seasoning which was spot on. And, as mentioned above, our experience with staff was very attentive, even on a Saturday Night. Nobody was rushed or hurried, and all the patrons seemed to be getting their food in a timely manner. So, Smokin ' Pig will definitely be seeing us again, because they earned it.

Overpriced especially for very mediocre BBQ. The day I stopped by To Go Order) all they had was Pork. No Beef another strike against them). Take my advice, do yourself a favor: EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
