Big Pig Barbecue & Catering

We recently had Big Pig Barbeque cater our company family Barbeque for 150 guests. They were excellent! They came in early and set up, cooked on site and handled everything from food to drinks to paper goods. They also handled the tent company and the alcohol company so I didn't have to deal with multiple vendors. Most importantly everyone raved about the food! I would definitely recommend them for your next event.

We had the pleasure of working with Big Pig Barbecue for our “Fall in Love with Charter” renovation celebration, and they were incredible from start to finish. Their team arrived two hours early, set up seamlessly, and in no time had everything ready to go. The food was outstanding—tender brisket, juicy chicken, and perfectly seasoned pulled pork, with the smoky aroma filling our courtyard and sparking conversations. Their spread included baked beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, a fresh garden salad, and the surprise stars of the table: their homemade pickles (and onions!). Big Pig truly thought of everything—plates, utensils, wet wipes, and even to-go containers—making it effortless for us to focus on our guests and enjoy the event. We’re already looking forward to booking them again for a pig roast in the future. And here’s a little bonus for my fellow vegetarians: they even offer a delicious pulled jackfruit dish. Highly recommended!

We recently had the pleasure of enjoying a catered BBQ lunch at our company, and it was an absolute hit! From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and—most importantly—delicious. The variety of meats and the sides were outstanding! everyone went back for seconds. The homemade BBQ sauces were amazing. The service was equally excellent. The catering team was prompt, professional, and friendly, making sure everything was set up seamlessly and that our team was well taken care of. We’re grateful for the experience and highly recommend Big Pig BBQ and Catering to anyone looking to bring people together over great food. It was a wonderful way to treat the team and boost morale. Thank you for helping us make the day so memorable!

Outstanding to say the least. These guys work hard and the quality of the food shows! The brisket is fantastic, the burgers and dogs, the chicken, all solid. The sides pair great! Really nice crew and they were greatly accommodating for our surprise party. They were on time, provided everything needed, helped serve, couldn’t ask for more! Really 10/10 recommend them!

My wife and I used Big Pig BBQ to cater our son’s birthday party for 40 guests. We ordered sausage, ribs, chicken, mac and cheese, potato salad, and cornbread. This was a 10/10 BBQ experience. They packaged everything so we could heat it up the next day, gave us a full packet of reheating instructions, plenty of extra barbecue and other sauces, and even helped load everything into the car while explaining best practices. That kind of service goes a long way. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every single person at the party was raving about it. The sausages were hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and the ribs, chicken, and sides were right there on the same level. Nothing felt like an afterthought. We’re already planning to come back to Big Pig BBQ for lunch or dinner soon and will definitely look for excuses to order more catering from them. Highly recommend.

Best decision to hire to cater our end-of-the-year marina party in Salisbury. Big Pig was great to work with from start to finish. Chris was great to talk to and put 3 of his best guys to cater our event. The food was amazing it was a hit with all the guests! We had the Brisket , ribs pulled pork , mac and cheese , coleslaw, and cornbread and the flow was great to get the guests fed in a timely manner . Highly highly recommend and can't wait till they open in Salisbury in spring 2026 ! Thank you guys from Cove marina !!

This BBQ is amazing!!!! I stopped in just before closing the other day and they only had pulled pork left so I grabbed a sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was so juicy and tender and packed with perfectly cooked pulled pork. I ended up trying a bunch of sides too. The baked beans are fantastic, super cheesy Mac, tasty collard greens and the corn breads like a cake it was so good. I can’t wait to come back another time and try the rest of the BBQ and shout out to the super friendly staff

Big Pig Barbecue did and amazing job at our wedding! Everyone raved about the food, and they managed to grill chicken perfectly even in an absolute downpour (with tents of course). They were professional, easy to work with, and went above and beyond to make sure everything turned out amazing. Highly recommend!

The Big Pig recently catered a corporate Employee Appreciation luncheon. The food was fantastic and great customer service. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with Big Pig! They catered our company's annual summer picnic and we couldn't have been happier. We got the Backyard BBQ package with hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and steak tips; all delicious, juicy and tender. They had a wide variety of homemade sauces to choose from, and the sides were a hit -- we chose the smoked corn and black bean salad, potato salad, and green salad. All their staff were friendly and helpful, they left everything spotless and even packed up the leftovers in to-go boxes. The also gifted us with a cute boxed sampler of their BBQ sauces! Pre-event communication was a breeze. I do a lot of events and this is not the usual -- I'd highly recommend Big Pig for any catering needs!

I recently tried Big Pig Barbecue in Everett. The guy working the truck was so nice and helpful when we were deciding what to order. My roommate is going to be catering a party using Big Pig so we wanted a taste of everything. We tried the brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, house sausage, and wings. The brisket and house sausage were absolutely delicious. The pulled pork and chicken were good, and the wings were just okay. For sides we tried the mac and cheese, cornbread, power slaw, and corn and bean salad. I thought the power slaw was a bit too oily, but everything else was pretty good!

Holy smokes, this place is DELICIOUS. I repeat, quite scrumptious! This place was catering at the end of the Reach the Beach Ragnar race and their chicken and pork WERE incredibly tender. I could taste every bit of flavor infused with every bite. The mac n cheese were nice and cheesy. The cornbread was fresh and had good texture. Holy moly, it was such a pleasant surprise to eat this at the beach~

If you have an upcoming event, you have to book Big Pig! I took a chance on them for our backyard wedding shower this past weekend without having tried the food beforehand, and they absolutely delivered a first-class experience from start to finish. We chose the on-site BBQ package and also rented the tent, tables, and chairs through them--which made things so much easier by only having to coordinate with one vendor. I also added on the bistro lighting for some extra ambiance, and I'm so glad I did--it looked amazing and took their team 10 minutes to set up (which would've taken us an hour!). Chris, the owner, was incredibly responsive and reassuring. He made it clear that every detail was handled, so I didn't have to worry about last-minute errands for condiments or paper goods. The food was a huge hit--my fiancé said the steak tips were the best he's ever had--and several guests grabbed business cards to book them for their own events. Truly, Big Pig went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

We recently used Big Pig BBQ/catering for a party with 75 guests. The delivery was on time and the food set up was great. We ordered pulled pork, bbq chicken, brisket, baked beans, corn bread and potato salad. The whole BBQ meal was awesome! Huge portions! Every guest commented about how tasty the food was. We enjoyed the leftovers for a couple days as well!!! Chris was great-he answered all of our questions about possible allergens and they also provided an allergy info card with the meal. Many guests appreciated knowing the ingredients for the food items. We will definitely order from Big Pig again!

Everything from the first original phone call to Chris to the end result was amazing. They were very accommodating. The two young men that came and cooked for us at our celebration were amazing. Logan and Ted were very personable helpful, respectful polite! we had a barbecue for 60+ assisted living community I highly recommend them! Food was delicious. They cleaned up after themselves ! It was amazing! I Can't wait to have another event again. So We can have Big Pig Barbecue & Catering back

Had a company luncheon and used Big Pig again since my company loved it so much when we used them in November. We got the same menu as last time but switched out the ribs to try the pulled pork sandwiches. So yummy with their awesome barbeque sauce and pickles and onions. This place is awesome!! Thanks, Chris.

Big Pig is great! We had them cater my wife's 40th birthday and they did a great job. Chris was easy to work with, the on-site staff were very friendly and accommodating, and all the food was fantastic. They worked with us on a custom menu including chicken breast, steak tips, and brisket -- all of which are easy for catering companies to botch -- but Pig Big nailed all of them. Chicken was tender, steak tips were cooked perfect medium, and the brisket was extremely tender and fall-apart. People were texting me about how great the food was even through the next day. We'll happily use them again next time we have a party.

Big Pig seems to be a friendly cozy New England BBQ spot in Peabody which started off as a catering only business. I accompanied a friend of mine here on a sat afternoon who was doing a marketing collab with them and got to meet a few people running the show. Pitmaster Tony was such a nice guy and gave us a great tour of their offerings and we got to know how they started just before covid hit. The brisket and the stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon were the stars. Had a nice juicy brisket after a long time and I see myself stopping by whenever I am traveling up north of Boston. I was not a fan of their bourbon and maple glazed pork belly as they were really sweet however having it with their hot bbq sauce helped cut down the sweetness to some extent. The ribs were good and tender too however felt a tad bit dry by the time we ate it. Not sure if it was because we had it in the end. Maybe have it as soon as it's served. The coleslaw was however a bit overloaded with mayo and the crunch of the cabbage and carrots were lost. They do have 5 different bbq sauce from sweet to hot of varying levels and none of them were ketchupy which was such a happy relief. Most of the bbq sauce turns out to be too much ketchup mixed with paprika but theirs was really balanced. The food they serve do show their care and passion about bbq and can't wait to go back however this times it's gonna be around 11/11:30 AM right when they work their pits to catch those chunks of meat coming out hot. They are also going to open up a drive through which is going to be a great addition. A drive through bbq place for take out? Will take it any day. Definitely recommend them to one and all of you are in Peabody area or even if it's around 15-20 mins.

Used Big Pig for our second time for Swampscott Rotary Installation dinner and had a blast. Food was plentiful, quality amazing and staff was over the top. They can't do enough to please. Professional and great all around. Thank you Chris & Staff!

Absolutely fantastic! Ate here when the food truck came to park 9. We got three smash burgers, the nachos, and a large fry to share amoung 3 people. It was SO much food. The smash burgers were HUGE and really perfectly made. They had homemade pickles, three patties and special sauce, like a fancy big Mac. The fresh were huge and nicely prepared and the nachos were awesome, with freshly pickled red onion and jalapeños! We were so stuffed after lunch we skipped dinner! Also, the prices were extremely reasonable!

The food was delicious, and the staff, both professional and exceptionally helpful! I have used Big Pig four times, and will continue to use them at least once a year!

This is the very best barbecue that you could have. The staff is extremely helpful! The food is always outstanding. They have catered our barbecue for the past 3 years and it just seems to get better every year. Everyone that comes to our barbecue cannot get over how good the food is. Thank you, Big Pig,

We all enjoyed your catering job thoroughly . Your guys were excellent grill masters, friendly and professional . The brisket was unbelievably good. Thanks!

first time ordering from them -- it was truly excellent and everyone loved it! Can't tell you what my favorite was -- pulled pork, ribs and sausage were all soooo good!! We had BBQ delivered for a graduation party. They showed up on time, and set everything up so there was no work on my part but for putting out the tables. Pay attention to the e-mail they send ahead of time on the space you will need, and that it really does take about 30 minutes for the set up. Everything was hot or cold, depending on whether it was the BBQ meat or salads. Highly recommend them!!!!

Recently used Big Pig for our backyard party and we were so happy with how everything came out! The food was delicious, they were on time, very friendly and communication was great. Hope to use them again in the future!

Chris was great to deal with on ordering and customizing our order. We had our order delivered and set up. The set up was great, everything was in a warming tray. The food was delicious and got rave reviews from all of the party goers. The ribs were a huge hit, but my favorite was the steak tips.

Great team, great food. Had a pig roast at my house with about 70 people and it was a blast. Thank you!

The Caribbean chicken was delicious and the vegetables were super highly recommend the food

another great job by the staff at the big pig. they did a pig roast. food was fabulous, staff friendly. would highly recommend.

Can't say enough! Arrived on-time, set-up was ready on-time, clean-up was great, the staff were personal and very accomodating! This was for a 200+ employee, company BBQ. Staff raved about the food! This was the easiest catered event to schedule and manage with Big Pig BBQ. One or two phone calls and all was set! Sheila Crown Uniform & Linen Brockton, MA

I hired them to cater a 75 person event and everything was spectacular; food and service! The ribs are amazing as well as steak tip, salad, everything was top shelf. Chris was so responsive, delivery on time and efficient. Great company. I highly recommend.

We recently used Big Pig Barbecue for our son's and D daughter n law's family "I Do " barbecue. The food was amazing ! I was concerned about having the tips, ribs and pulled chicken plus sides delivered thinking they would be over cooked by the time they were set up and served. The food was perfect. Our family was raving how tender the tips were and how savory the ribs and chicken was. The delivery person was polite, engaging and sincerely interested our occasion. Outstanding would reccomend for any gathering.

Excellent. I grew up in Louisiana and Texas, and this checked almost all the boxes. Both of us had the beef brisket sandwich. Tender and piled high. Choose your own sauce. BBQ beans are sweet, tangy with a bit of heat on the finish. My only ding is the sweet tea. It tastes more like instant than brewed.That said, I'm comparing it to my mama's sweet tea, and that's a high bar. What are you waiting for? Get your Big Pig butt over here!

I would give Big Pig BBQ if there was 10 star. I had use the catering for the past 3yrs now, the food is delicious and there a lot different catering full or half pan to your liking. Delivery staff and Catering coordinator is spot on with there service Albany St Bus Garage

We had Big Pig while at Park 9 Dog bar over the weekend. I gotta say I was pumped to hear they were able to get set up at one of our favorite places close to home. We got the pulled pork grilled cheeses (pepper jack), mac and cheese, spare ribs, wings, and mixed greens. Everything was delicious and double endorsement on the wings tossed in their homemade sauce. Special props to Tony and his staff who were able to provide some recommendations to people in our group. Can't wait to head back there and try more of the menu soon!

Is another place it's a little hard to find going south on route one just before you reach the car wash keep your eyes open. It's set in the back. It's the real deal. Everything here is delicious. Just look at the pictures of the menu and it's all edible and very goodparking in the front it's a little busy at times

All I can say is wow! So we had their pulled pork and sausage, onions and peppers, corn bread, and all of the accoutrements! Everything was fresh and delicious. The pork came in big chunks and could see how beautiful the meat was, and wasn't slathered in barbecue sauce and the sausage onions and peppers was just so delicious and really fed a multitude of people! I was catering a party for a football team in New Hampshire and everybody was thrilled! The staff at Biig Piig was very helpful because I was nervous amount about the amount considering it was a football team and boy did they take care of me. Everybody got a nice big filling and we had some leftovers and highly highly recommend for big or small parties and chris and the staff at Biig Piig will take care of you!

Big Pig BBQ was a big hit! Ordering online was easy and efficient, fair prices for the quality of the BBQ! I ordered The Backyard BBQ everything was so delicious everybody couldn't stop talking about how good the steak tips were, all the sides were fresh and delicious! The smoke on the wings and sausage was excellent- delivery guys were professional, efficient and super nice! I'll order again thanks Big Pig making my party on Saturday May 11 a hit!!!

I had an amazing 50th birthday party that Big Pig catered. The food was so fresh and delicious. We had steak tips, chicken, burgers, hot dogs, corn bread, and mac and cheese. Our guests went back in line for more. They are still talking about the steak tips. The team arrived early, set up beautifully (smelled so good.) They served our guests and helped us bring the leftovers in the house. We were excited about the menu but never could have imagined how juicy and delicious everything would be. We will be using Big Pig again. Great job! 10 stars.

I highly recommend Big Pig BBCU We used them for a party we had Saturday Aug. 19th. In Merrimack NH This the second time we've had their food and just like last time everything was fantastic! They showed on time, the food was ready on time and everything was delicious and fresh! Very friendly and professional staff. They clean up and all trash away. I really can't say enough good things about this company. Just GREAT!!

Without mentioning it on the menu, Big Pig adds a $1 "support and give" charge and a $2 "OG Sandwich" charge to the price listed on the menu. Gee guys, do you think it's morally right to sneak these charges in without mentioning them to the paying customers? Down to one star. Update: Why two stars? Two reasons. First, I was over charged for a $13 brisket sandwich. Second, they ignored me when I wrote to them about it. So enjoy the food, but be watchful of what you pay for it. Keep the receipt and dispute any over charge with your credit card issuer. END OF UPDATE Extremely good bbq. Not the very best, but up there. Even approaching Austin level (not there yet). Great quality meat and other ingredients. My lack of an extra star is because of the $17 brisket sandwich I had at their spot on Rt. 1. For $17 I expected at least one side.

We did take out for the Super Bowl from The Big Pig on Rte 1 in Peabody. Talk about exceptional customer service. Placed a large order online, got a confirmation,exact pick up time and it was all perfect. I couldn't believe the system they run there. Order was spot on, everything was excellent, and made for a great, relaxing afternoon. I highly recommend https://www.bigpigbarbecue.com

Decided to finally try Big Pig for super bowl food and boy I'm glad I did. They were extremely busy but they were so nice and even gave out some stickers to my daughter to keep her happy while we waited for our takeout food. The way they treated us as customers was enough for me to want to go back but after getting home these were some of the best wings I've had in my life. You must try them if you haven't already

We have driven down Route 1 so many times and finally tried their BBQ for takeout last week. Unfortunately, we were disappointed and the search for bomb bbq in MA continues. Nothing beats Texas bbq I guess. We ordered online around noon for pickup at 3 and they had given us 1 order short of the brisket. We called and they were able to refund us. Ribs were good, pulled pork was decent, brisket was fatty and the sauces were mediocre (more on the vinegary side). It's a bit pricey imo and we probably won't return.

This BBQ is amazing!!!! I stopped in just before closing the other day and they only had pulled pork left so I grabbed a sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was so juicy and tender and packed with perfectly cooked pulled pork. I ended up trying a bunch of sides too. The baked beans are fantastic, super cheesy Mac, tasty collard greens and the corn breads like a cake it was so good. I can't wait to come back another time and try the rest of the BBQ and shout out to the super friendly staff

Absolutely amazing and yummy meat! Can't say enough tasty things about this place. You just have to trust me and order your meal there!

Impressed! This is one of the best BBQ places in New England! And some of the best BBQ joints I've been too started out as a catering business. Looks like that what these guys have been doing for awhile! Now they have their own little smokehouse and a Drive Thru! (planned to be operating sometime by mid April 2020) They have a little tiny "café bar" can fit maybe 5 people with no elbow room. 3 tiny tables for 3 people max with no elbow room. And one table fit 4 people comfortably enough. They keep their Chopped wood right outside the door utilizing every square inch they have. Combo option spelled out "Brisket, Pork, and Chicken" Order came out really quick and I was maybe the second customer of the day. There were about 8 guys moving fast in the kitchen getting everything ready, so I was impressed and grateful that the food came out so quick. Everything looked amazing! Brisket, Chicken, the sides, and the Pork obviously wasn't Ribs so I was disappointed for about half a second and realized how good the pulled pork looked too. Even came with some pickled cucumbers and onions, I would have eaten more of those too! Started right away with the Brisket. I was afraid all the moisture and heat would quickly leave the meat if I left it alone for a minute. Still trying to figure out what exactly are the qualifications for great authentic brisket but I would say that this is one of the best in New England hands down. Extra tender and full of that smokey brisket flavor without using too many other ingredients. Little bit of that black pepper taste to the rub and it worked perfectly. Fatty parts melted in your mouth like Smokey butter. Chicken was amazing. Got a Leg and a small Thigh. Super good rub to it. Flavor was the best I've ever had in a chicken. Only thing was that it almost felt like there was "extra" moisture to it because the skin was like a water balloon and when I bit into it all the juices poured out. I'm talking literally poured. Not like a little squirt, I could tip the leg at an angle and a shot glass amount of chicken grease came out. For a second I questioned it but the meat was perfect and the skin tasted amazing so I didn't stop. I feel like people that grow up on a chicken farm know exactly what this is about and it's actually what is supposed to happen. Pulled Pork, still trying to figure out what pulled pork is supposed to be. But I think this is the closest to what Real Good Pulled Pork is supposed to be. I've seen Pulled Pork on all sides of the spectrum. Sometimes it's ripped to the point it feels like a mushy hairball, other places they just chop up a pork loin. This was right in the middle, not crazy shredded and not just diced a little so it's a bunch of chunks. Super tender and moist and had a great Smokey flavor. A very subtle BBQ taste to it, definitely cooked with at least a tiny bit of traditional sauce but didn't interfere with the natural flavor of the pork. Combo came with 2 sides and a cornbread. Got some Pit Beans and Mac and Cheese. It was crossed off on the menu when I went but they seem to have Watermelon Salad at times. Again I'm only assuming what it could be but something tells me it aint just cubed watermelon. Mac and Cheese I was pretty impressed by, wasn't expecting anything great. White Cheddar taste, creamy, bit of black pepper I could barely taste, white cheddar wasn't overpowering, very heavy as mac and cheese is supposed to be. Beans were Crazy! The sauce was like a sweet mesquite, apple bourbon, and maple zing. One of the best flavors I've ever had in my mouth. I was even eating it with a fork so you would imagine all that sauce would fall through but the sauce was so infused in the beans and it was just thick enough to still be drippy and hold onto the beans too. Actually I was almost afraid that eating with a spoon might be a little too much. Cornbread was great too. Not individually baked in paper cups or mini tins. No kernels though, I like the kernels. Not sure how to describe the texture, it's like gritty and dry but cold and sticky at the same time so it was like moist going into my mouth but for some reason it made my mouth feel super dry. This isn't a unique thing, I just can't put my finger on what other kind of cake has done that. But it wasn't a bad thing, really. The corn bread was great. If you're a BBQ enthusiast like me I Strongly recommend this place. It's some of the best flavor I've ever had. I would recommend dining in if you can but they are tiny so try to plan accordingly. If you can't eat in then grab as much as you can to go.

The restaurant is finally open and was worth the wait! (Not that I want to share how good it is because it's a smallish place and I hate to wait ) everything was great! The brisket was perfectly cooked and sliced. So juicy! The hot link was Texas worthy. The beans were sweet and gooey. And the chicken wings were awesome. We really liked the Carolina Gold sauce The staff is super attentive and friendly. Can't wait to go back to try their Dino ribs...Definitely worthy of a good old fashioned meat coma! Edited to add...went back for Dino ribs, Mac and cheese, and corn bread. All excellent!

We used them for a company anniversary event. Everything was flawless. They showed up on time, cooked everything on site, set-up the buffet beautifully and cleaned it all up when it was over. I didn't need to worry about the food at all. They even catered to our vegan/vegetarian folks with a variety of options for them to enjoy. The whole process of ordering, arranging a taste testing and overall communication with the crew was excellent. The food was a big hit with all the employees. I would absolutely use them again for future events. Thank you, Big Pig.

We had a backyard wedding reception for my daughter and new son-in-law who is from Florida. He requested a Pig Roast, because he has never been to one (neither have I) and I have to tell you that the food was delicious! We got so many compliments on the food. The staff was great! They were so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Big Pig Barbecue & Catering!

We booked Big Pig for my husbands birthday party and had on-site grilling come to our backyard and it could not have been more perfect! The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Everyone raved about how good the food was and it made the event that much better! I would highly recommend their catering services and if I'm in need of that level of service again I will absolutely be going back!

The brisket was some of the best I've ever had. I work in Texas a lot and would put Big Pig up against some of my favorites like Terry Black's and Franklin BBQ in Austin or Burns BBQ in Houston.

This place is AMAZING. I will tell you everyone, 40 adults, at my Labor Day Party were screaming about the food. Everything arrived hot. Everything was delicious. The first to go a full tray of that brisket. Fabulous. Ribs, steak tips, chicken all excellent and cooked perfectly. The sides, Mac and cheese, beans potato salad, Cole slaw all delicious! And whatever is in the cornbread made people fight over it. I will definitely recommend this place and I will definitely give it 10 stars. The food was delivered right on time in hot boxes with all the accessories. Chafing dishes, plates, sauces and to go boxes.

Big Pig was a big hit!!! We used them to cater a graduation party for a bunch of Bentley football players so we needed to make sure there was plenty of food for all. They brought the smoker and grills and cooked it up right on site. Everyone commented on how delicious and tender the meat was - we had the pig, beef brisket, pork ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken wings. Some people swore they were the best wings they ever had! Even the brownies and cookies were great. We will use them again and I'm looking forward to visiting their spot. I can't recommend the Big Pig enough!!

Ordered dinner takeout for a Friday night and the whole experience from ordering to licking the plate clean was fantastic. You can conveniently order ahead online so I did this around 3pm for a 6pm pickup. No glitches on their website and all options were clearly stated even if things weren't available. Communication around Covid safety pickup was superb. I got a text that my order was ready and when I pulled in they had signs ready to direct you. If your order online you pick it up through the drive through, you don't even need to get out of your car. Pickup was simple, efficient, and fast. They've got it down to a science. The food was so so good. It was hot when we got it home, didn't taste like it had been sitting out for long. We got the 1 meat plate and a 2 meat plate. The serving size for meats and sides were the perfect amount. A few leftovers but nothing excessive. We had ribs, brisket, Mac and cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, and cornbread. The cornbread comes with the plates which was really nice because most places make it a side. So really for the plates you get three sides. Everything was delicious. The meat on the ribs were hearty and the brisket was tender. Mac and cheese was really good. They also give you three sauces on the side, you won't have the option to pick online (I'm sure you can write it in the notes) but having al three was a bonus. There's not many BBQ places on the North Shore and lucky for us the Big Pig is doing it right. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!

Finally was able to have Big Pig for some lunch takeout and it was worth every penny! I have been eyeing this place for a while and was so happy to see that they offered smaller meals and not just catering. For lunch my boyfriend and I ordered the two protein plate. We chose the brisket and pulled pork for meats, and for sides we got the Mac and cheese and beans. This also came with a small piece of pulled pork. We also ordered some potato salad and 2 buns to make some sandwiches. It also came with some sauces and pickles/pickled onions. We ordered online, which was quick and easy and picked it up within 30 minutes of ordering. This was one of the best barbecue meals I had in a LONG time! The brisket was so tender, filled with flavor and just enough char to make it taste smokey. The pulled pork (my favorite) was fantastic with the additions of the bbq sauces they provided on the side. The tangy sauce? Don't skip on this, seriously it elevated that pulled pork to a new level. You could tell that the meats were made by some experts, all the flavors were spot on. For the sides, the potato salad was a big hit for us, would definitely order again. I loved the Mac and cheese, a bit plain but a great accompaniment to all the sauces and meats, so for me it was perfect. The beans were probably our biggest let down, but not due to lack of trying. You could tell it was homemade and had great flavor, but it was too sweet for us. We think it was the caramelized onion that added such a sweet flavor, or brown sugar, but we will pass on these. The cornbread also seemed very fresh, it was soft and tasty. The piece was a bit small so if you plan on splitting a meal, I suggest getting more cornbread. The buns ($1 for 2 buns) worth it as well! Also the picked onions/pickles I LOVED! Great addition to the plate. Overall I would highly recommend giving this place a shot. All the food tasted like it was made with love and expertise in southern flavors. The price is a bit expensive, but I would rather support a small business who has great flavors than pay something cheaper for cheap quality. Again I say worth every penny!

Great service, delicious bbq. Had the brisket with Mac N cheese and some great cornbread!
