Smokin' Pig BBQ of Anderson (Hwy 81) - Barbecue restaurant in Anderson - 1696 Evergreen Rd, USA

I'd like to first say that every person that spoke to us was so friendly. Our waitress was awesome! She was spot on with not only our table but all of hers in our area. The decor is simple but nice. A very relaxing place to enjoy dinner. The food had great flavor but our ribs were dry and a little tough. This place is worth a return visit

Some of the best BBQ I’ve had in recent years. Well worth stopping in. Highly recommend.

Excellent dining experience for lunch. We went around 2pm on a Saturday and there was no wait time. Great selection for sides and different way to get the pork (brisket, pulled, sandwich). Restaurant atmosphere was nice and and clean. All of the staff members were friendly. Our waitress was quick to bring extra condiments and refill our drinks as needed. The food was amazing! The meat had a great flavor to it. Will definitely be returning.

We stopped here for lunch. I had the pork platter with Brunswick stew and sweet patato fries. The meat was moist and tasted delicious. I had way too much food and will order a sandwich the next time around.

OH.MY.LAWD. My partner and I decided to do a South Carolina road trip and the Anderson/Greenville area was our first stop. I honestly never gave SC much thought for some reason and do I feel stupid. The bbq I had in SC was next level. I’ve had plenty of BBQ in my life in many places (FL, GA, AL, TX, NC, TN to name some) and I seriously think SC has the best BBQ… Smokin Pigs was sincerely delicious and I am grateful I was in the area on a day it was open. That is the biggest problem with traveling in the state, trying to get to the BBQ places you want when they are open! This place set the bar HIGH. Everything was delicious even the sides. So many sauces. So many yums. They bring pork rinds to the table when you sit down! It’s an order at the counter and they bring your food place. Food comes out quick. I wish I could go back now… The brisket and ribs were DIVINE! Texas, this brisket is looking at you. The pork was good but not the shining star. All of the sides were good, that never happens! My mouth is watering

My family loves this place! We live an hour away and it's worth the drive every time. The food is delicious. I especially like getting The cobbler as one of my side's. You just let them know when you're ready for it and they'll bring hit cobbler out with some delicious ice cream. AND the ocra...yum. They'll make it extra crunchy if you ask! The people have always been friendly and happy. The restaurant itself has such a fun vibe. Can't wait to eat here again!!

The brisket was good and the rubbed ribs were good the wet add a side ribs where tough, they deep fry them maybe that's why. Pulled chicken was dry and tough. Wish they had a BBQ salad. They have a potato casserole that is really good, and the sweet potato crunch is good. Potato salad is to sweet, the Cole salad is good. Sweet potato fries have maple syrup on it. no beer or wine. No smoked turkey.

Visited this location on Saturday 25-Feb after being told to check it out from locals in Anderson. Being from out of town I was looking forward to try some different BBQ. First, I would say the service was 5 stars (server was great). However the BBQ that day I'd say would not be competition style or close to award winning, it was average and expensive. Food arrived quickly, three brisket slices and three ribs attached together (not cut separately). Brisket rub was ok, not overall spicy and the slices were thin cut. If not eaten quickly the slices dried out where tug and pull was more than normal, meat became very chewy and non-flavorful. I would have preferred 1 thick slice over a few thin slices to retain moisture longer while eating. Ribs were average & disappointment, seemed like I received end cut of a rack, didn't taste fresh, and had been under a warmer for hours. While having smoke taste the ribs lacked any other flavor or rub seasoning. Ribs were hard to cut using plastic knife provided at table. So pulling them apart, all the meat fell off from the bones reflecting them being overdone, providing no clean bite off the bone with a satisfying chew. While the outside of the meat was warm, the inside was cool and lacked any juice... no napkins needed. As for the sides, they're all delicious. Roll was fantastic with butter, the cole slaw very fresh and tasty, and fries hot and crispy. With the price of BBQ... a two meat combo with drink $28 plus tip, it's a bit high for any lunch in the area and you'd expect more.
