The Prized Pig draws BBQ enthusiasts from across the region with its devotion to slow-smoked meats and scratch-made sides. Owner Matt Ziegler, a South Bend native, combines techniques honed on the competitive barbecue circuit with a welcoming, unpretentious vibe. Local publications like the South Bend Tribune and Midwest Living have praised the brisket’s deep smoke ring and the rich, peppery bark on their St. Louis–style ribs. The menu’s rotating specials—think smoked turkey or burnt ends—keep regulars coming back, while the family-run feel and community events make every meal memorable.
