I sat at an outdoor table. The weather was beautiful and the server was awesome, she made an excellent suggestion to try the local brewed brown ale they had on tap. the BBQ was flavorful and smoky but not overpowering, the hash brown casserole was cheesy and potatoey & the Banana Pudding was Incredible! I loved it

Delicious Meal! Despite a full car park, we were sat quickly, service was friendly, and we got our meal quickly. Perfect stop for a sunny day before heading out to Incline Rail. We had the BBQ Pork Soft Tacos w/Sour Cream and Piglet's Pulled Pork Sliders. They went so well with their hot BBQ sauce!… we ate it too quickly… so there was no photo opportunity ?

Great food! Restaurant could use a refresh. The barbecue and sides were really very good and worth going, but a thorough restaurant refresh would quiet any niggling doubt.

Very good lunch today. Service was fast and friendly. The unique triple decker sandwich was great. Pimento cheese, chicken salad and cucumber salad! We shared a banana pudding and it was incredible!!

This little gem of a BBQ restaurant has been in the St Elmo/Chattanooga area for several decades and the wonderful food is a great as always has been! Fast and friendly service to boot, definitely a revisit in the near future.

Very friendly and great food. Based on other reviews we tried both the fruit tea and the banana pudding, both of which we agree are fantastic! I really enjoyed the rainbow sandwich too. Would visit again.

I had the pork nachos and banana cream pie. Both were outstanding. I had the fruit tea and it was probably the best tea I’ve ever had. Prices were reasonable and the service was outstanding!!

This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I did not dine in, but the takeout was great. Really good pulled BBQ sandwich!

This is such a neat little spot to eat next to the Incline. Love the mismatch eclectic decor. We smoke a lot of food at our house so can be picky. My husband loved the pulled pork. The smoked chicken on my tacos and one of our kid's little sandwiches (piglet pac) had nice smoke flavor and was still juicy. They were very busy but the staff still paid attention to us and our food came out quickly. Would definitely go there again to try more dishes.

Ribs were amazing! So good! Service was average. They aren't the friendliest but get you your food fast! I love the old style of the place.
