Smokin Pig - Pendleton

The hype is real at the smokin pig! if they find themselves in the Clemson area, they have to go here. the ordering process is quickly easy. the menu is up.

Simply wonderful! if they are in the clemson area and like grill, they must have smokin' pig. everything is as good as all carolinas.

So if they go in here, they have to look at the board, decide and then give up their order. we chose our seat and the food came fast. jessica was ours.

This is definitely a dive! I would call the design “eclectic”. We didn’t get to enjoy mini golf or the other games, it was too hot. The inside is small, a few booths closely packed in. I wasn’t sure at first, but when a place is packed and the line is long, curiosity kicks in. I tried brisket for the first time and it was DELICIOUS! I enjoyed everything I got. Brisket, ribs, macaroni and cheese and the sweet potato casserole. The ladies at the counter were friendly and the food was ready in about 15 minutes. My husband and I will definitely be back. I gave it four stars instead of five because it was pricey for the amount of food we got.

Okay, initial review and it is open to change. It was GOOD, but I can’t say it was great. I only got two things; ribs and brisket. The ribs blew my socks off. If all I got was that, 5 stars no question. Melt in your mouth tender, so tasty and amazing. They were cooked to perfection, the meat fell off the bones. The brisket was good. Great flavor, amazing bark, but it fell flat on the dryness of it. If it wasn’t as dry as it was, it would have been 5 stars, sadly it was a bit much. I will 100% go back and eat there again, and I’d even try the brisket again.
