Cork & Pig Tavern

Cork & Pig is definitely one of the best restaurants in Midland. Pizza is amazing, especially The Pig. Service was great and servers were helpful and kind. Atmosphere was great. There’s multiple nice decorations and you can see into the kitchen.

The smash burger is surprisingly very filling. At first glance, I didn’t think it was a nice sized burger, but that plus the large amount of fries definitely hit the spot. Very delicious. Admittedly, we also had the spinach and artichoke dip, which was extremely good. I wanted to try the mac n cheese too, which ended up being rather underwhelming. Will be back to try the ribs.

The food was delicious and the service was great. The atmosphere is welcoming. It’s located in nice walkable shopping centers with other restaurants and shops.

I don’t typically review restaurants but tonight I feel compelled to do so as the experience our group had went above and beyond. I called a few days before to make a reservation for a big group. Instead of turning us away Isaac made sure to make this a special night for our Special Olympics swim team to celebrate our time in Midland. This was our second year there and we absolutely love the food. Just wishing I lived closer so I could try more food on the menu.

Second time coming here and happy with the second visit! The food was pretty good and portions were decent. Service could have been a bit better but it was a busy Sunday! Will have to come back and try more of the menu

Midland/Odessa does not have many nicer restaurant options but Cork and Pig is one of them and a great one at that! My coworkers, a customer, and I had a reservation and we were promptly seated. Once seated, we had the best server ever. His name escapes my mind currently but he was absolutely amazing. I would go back just for him. We started off with some deviled eggs which were tasty and what you would expect. The halibut was excellently cooked with a crispy outer layer and juicy and tender in the middle. The side salad was also perfectly proportioned with all ingredients. I would definitely recommend going to Cork and Pig for a casual outing and/or a business meal.

The last time I went, the restaurant was full, but they had a table in their new room called the Tavern. My husband and I loved it and will ask to be seated there from now on. It was less like a bar environment, good temperature, easier to hear each other talk, and the seats were very comfortable. Along with delicious food, they have EXCELLENT appetizers, drinks, and desserts.

Really liked this place. They have many menu options, and everything I've tried has been excellent. The building and atmosphere are new, modern, clean, and open. They can seat a lot of people but it can get busy. The kitchen is professional and puts out some nice dishes with quality ingredients. I loved the french dip, pastrami sandwich, the soups, and salads. They also have fresh squeezed lemonade that is just right.

The calamari is ok, I liked the sweet and spicy sauce that comes with it. Came two different times this week: The chicken on the bed of mashed potatoes in a creamy sauce was good, recommend. The short rib with veggies and mashed potatoes was good too. Got a side of Mac and cheese that was ok, should've gotten one of the specials they had that week instead.

We met up for drinks. I love the vibe it's definitely a great place to meet up with Friends and Family. The staff worked hard to get drinks out quickly. I did not eat but the food I saw look tasty.

I love the new extension to the Cork and pig in Midland Texas. It's more calm and I was able to hear conversations. For some reason we kept getting different people waiting on us, but they were all nice. It was just confusing. The waitress suggested the drink in the photo and it was outstanding! I ordered the smoked chicken dish and potatoes. It was delicious and I would definitely order it again! However, my portion was very small compared to other visits to the same restaurant. The ambience in the extension part of this restaurant made up for anything else. We enjoyed our dinner thoroughly and are looking forward to our next visit already.

good ambiance - great food. was passing through and glad I stopped here. service was great as well.

Awesome spot! I had the steak salad and my friends had a veggie pizza and a the pig pizza. It was delicious. The steak salad had a bit of sweetness to it, which I would have been ok without, but that's just personal preference. The pizzas were tasty as well. I had a slice, I'd give a 7 out of 10. The service was TOP NOTCH! The food came out with perfect timing. Our server wS GREAT. And the atmosphere was relaxed but sophisticated. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Went with group from work. The first thing is to acknowledge the service. She handled our table of 9 like a champ. Friendly, cheerful, and helpful. A few people had pizza. One coworker said taste was great but he would have preferred it be cooked a tad longer. So if you like it crispy. Might let them know. Another dish I saw include the beef tips. Reportedly good. We ordered the off-menu cornbread. It was AMAZING! The spinach dip was good as well. Personally, I had their blackened ribeye special with their peanut coleslaw. It was all great, the steak was a little closer to rare than medium rare. But it was tasty. Always like the coleslaw (and I don't care for coleslaw typically).

Awesome Fun Place!! Cork & Pig Tavern!! Beautiful Place & Great Food!! Highly Recommend!!! Eddie Ray Tejano & Country Recording Artist!!! 432-889-8101

Everytime we've been here, the food, the staff and the entire experience has been top notch. Nothing but good things to say about Cork & Pig. Great location in a really cool shopping area. 10/10.

We had made reservations for a Sunday night. The restaurant wasn't very busy but the hostess was frazzled and clueless as to how to manage the seating for us and about 5 other people waiting. She asked us three different times our names. We tried to speak to the manager but she was just as clueless as the hostess so we left. Cork and Pig get it together.

We definitely needed a reservation and thank god we did. Our reservation was 7 and we got here at 630 and was sat immediately. The front staff were super friendly. Once we sat down we only waited a few minutes until our server came to introduce himself. We was very friendly and to be honest he's the reason I'm even leaving a star and review. For our appetizer I got the calamari and corn bread. I didn't care for the corn bread because it has jalapeños in it but it was sweet. Just tasted really weird. The calamari was okay, it definitely could have used a little bit more in the fryer so that it could be crispy instead of soggy. Whatever the white sauce it came with was delicious but the red sauce I highly recommend not trying it. Everyone in my party, which was 10 of us, thought it was absolutely disgusting. For my main course I ordered the 8oz filet with a said salad. I asked for no tomatoes and no goat cheese and it still had it on there, so they replaced the salad and put blue cheese which I wanted ranch. So again I got a new salad again and it was finally made correctly. I will note their ranch is chunky here. Then my filet came out but it came out cold as hell. At that point I was over this place and sent it back. I will never eat here again just because of the lack of the food quality. Definitely not worth the money. I have at a lesser steak places that was one, the steak was cooked and warm and two less than what they were charging. I don't mind paying money for a good steak. This place is not it.

As looking for something open late night and this was the place. I had the Parmesan chicken and a side salad. Both were really good. The bacon vinaigrette was a great addition. My friends had the pork pizza aka flat bred and enjoyed it as well.

When we got there, there was a 30-40 min wait so we sat at the bar which was first come first serve. The service was pretty good and one of the bartenders even offered us an exclusive cocktail not on the menu. We got our apps within 10 min of ordering. We also ordered the ultimate pepperoni pizza and salmon with charred cauliflower, which were both good but the salmon was slightly undercooked. Overall, a good meal with good service and ambience.

Very Good service food was amazing recommend this place it was fantastic good vibes only nothing!

Service was slow and inattentive (I could have grace for the other short comings if the service was improved. A smile goes a long way... hint-hint). We didn't see our waitress between taking our order/bringing our drinks and bringing the check. The food was above average but certainly not spectacular. My wife enjoyed her French dip sandwich. My fish and chips were good but the fries were meh. My daughter's pizza was BIG. She enjoyed it and said "it was ok" which is teenage girl slang for she liked it The atmosphere was nice (the only tv we could see was behind and center of the bar. Kind of hard to see if your game watching but, due to poor service, I'm nitpicking). The music was out of place for an upscale pub/restaurant (80's/90's pop. Great music choice for a chucky cheese or bowling alley but not so much for an upscale restaurant or any dining in 2024). If they improve the service (and change the music) it would help justify $100 lunch. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying another restaurant.

Food = was great, Service was phenomenal, ambiance was on point. Drinks were great! Would I recommend - absolutely!

I started with a jalapeño margarita which was delicious. Ordered the spinach artichoke dip and it was creamy. I got the pork chop which came stacked with 2 pork chops and it was so juicy. My favorite was the charred cauliflower. The sauce that came with it was delightful.

Salmon cooked absolutely perfect . Great staff . Warm friendly environment . Cannot say enough great things about this place .

I never have a problem with this establishment besides trying to get a table even on a Tuesday at lunch. My fault as I should make a reservation. Besides that it's a great spot. Consistent food and great cocktails. Plus the service? Can't beat it. Don't sleep on that steak salad, probably the best thing on the menu.

Went for lunch with a group. Everyone liked their choices. I had the steak salad and the steak was cooked perfectly (rare). Very good food and service.

So everyone RAVES about this place. Service was kind of slow. I order a Moscow mule and a glass of red cab that was good. I got the grilled artichokes which were great. Then the duo dip. Pimento cheese was ok however everyone else loved it. I loved the guac that it came with. I got a filet medium rare. And it was not that great tbh. And the mashed potatoes tasted like they put olive oil on top. It was very funky. I got the tres leches cake which was huge enough to split and it was really good. The place was clean and nice. Service was friendly but lacking.

Good food nice place to eat prices a bit to high for what they are serving though also think they should have a bigger menu

I have been to both locations. The 2 stars is primarily because my food was pretty decent, albeit cold. The problem I have is service. Short handed, I understand. Long waits are to be expected sometimes. We generally say nothing. At BOTH locations we experienced this: First of all, we were not at either location at peak times... At both locations, the people at the table next to us came in long after us. Our drinks, their drinks, took forever to arrive. Water never refilled. The table next to us complains quickly and literally gets the whole restaurant thrown at them. Apologies, extreme attentiveness. The manager at their table every 57 seconds. Meanwhile, we sit. Out waiter simply dissapeared for long periods of time. The manager was hyper focused on 2 tables of whiners while everyone else was just out of luck. The manager at both locations looked at us and our EMPTY GLASSES and said nothing while continuing to kiss butt at the whiney table...kinda odd but ok. So the secret of good service at off peak times is complain, duly noted. Could we have complained? Yes. But we were not in a hurry. My food, okay but cold. My boyfriend? Greasy, cold. Btw, we ordered the calamari appetizer. CALAMARI. we got a few pieces of calamari, a lot of fried onion and some fried artichokes. Don't call it calamari if it's a mixed basket...and it was not hot. This was my fourth and final time. It's a shame because my drink was amazing, (only one and I couldn't get a refill...but you know, the other table was more important). In the end, just bad service and poor timing and rather odd that we experienced the same management throwing themselves at the feet of one table of whiney buttnards and ignoring the rest of their patrons. Cold food, bar slow as heck and disappearing wait staff...just no. Ps, my unattentive waiter got a great tip. So, you're welcome.

Told the waiter that I have celiac disease/gluten allergy. The kid serving us said he had no idea if I could have anything on the menu. I told him he needed to go ask. He came back and said the only dish I could get was a salad. He brought us our food and set my salad in front of me with croutons on it. So frustrating. The education of kitchen staff needs to be better.

Great food. Excellent service. Can't go wrong with Cork and Pig. We got seated after a short wait on a busy Tuesday night.

One of our Favorites! We love the spinach and artichoke dip and pig pizza. I really like their Rum Punch or the piglet. They don't have a "kids menu" but do have a few items - if I remember correct there was a PB&Banana, hamburger and one more thing? Fries or fruit for a side. Not super kid friendly as it's a nicer restaurant but doable if your kids can stay occupied at the table. We prefer to leave the kids at home and do a date night here when we can though!

Went for brunch and ended up staying for dinner! The food, drinks, and vibes were great. The bartenders were amazing and attentive. Definitely recommend if you're ever in the area! Side note: I had the brisket hash for brunch and the grilled chicken Ceasar salad for dinner! Both awesome!!!

Wasn't impressed burger wasn't very good and way undercooked. Maybe just a bad day for them. The Child crazy Waffle is insane and should be a desert! The kids loved it.

My French toast was delicious! And I loved that it was only one slice, not an overwhelming amount of food. We had mimosas too, the carafe came pre-mixed, which I'm not used to. If you like minimal juice I'd ask if you can have them separate. Great food and service, will definitely go back if we are in town again.

More like a 3.5/5 Located in the ally village My partner and I came in the evening without reservations and lucky enough, there was one table available. If you don't want to wait and are going during prime time, than it's best to make a reservation. This place is the new American sort. Ambiance is great. Saw people coming for a date night and celebrations. Service is great. Our server, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks were really good! Highly recommend the nodding donkey cocktail. The beef short ribs were not as good as expected since everyone seems to rave about the food here. The whole dish was lacking in flavor, even the mashed potatoes. My partner said the Texas burger wasn't that great either... the shoestring fries were pretty good, though. Would recommend you order the cocktails, and something other than the short ribs and burger if you go

We went for happy hour. Got the happy hour menu items deviled eggs and veggie pizza. The waitresses asked if we wanted marinara or ranch to dip the pizza in and we said both. We feel they should have said "for $2 more do you want marinara sauce and .50 more for ranch" for your pizza. We were very surprised to be up-charged for items we assumed came with the dish..... and $2 is a lot for a marinara sauce.... We also got a regulator entree of fish and chips with a side of Brussel sprouts. All the food was good. The happy drinks were really overpriced for what they were. We'll be back since this place is pretty popular and the food was good but not sure happy hour was really any savings.

l love their weekend brunch! Especially the huevos rancheros!! So dang good! Great service at the bar! Nice Christmas music playing. Just such a fun relaxing time! Angelica was our bartender, such a sweet girl! Well done done Cork!

This is the worst case of the emperor's new clothes I have ever seen. I'm positive most of the patrons of this place just don't want to admit they spent $48 for a nediocre steak with one side. I had heard about this place forever and I was good. I iknew I was going to spend a couple hundred dollars , I just wish it was worth it. The best part of the meal was the deviled eggs, but $9 bucks for five egg halves was quite a bit (still it was the most reasonable thing in the menu. Tortilla chips with what seemed to be pimento cheese was our other appetizer at $14. Seriously, that's what it tastes like, pimento cheese. My date also asked for a small plate of spaghetti. Nothing fancy, nothing special. I'd guess it was less then 4oz. and I was charged $14. Drinks were also horribly overpriced. $11 for a shot of Apple Crown that we could get at any other bar for half that (it's the same apple crown everywhere). Still as I said, I knew it was going to be expensive. The $48 dollar steak though, that was a crime against meat. If you are going to serve a $48 steak with one side and no bread it should be the best steak I ever had. My dates was cooked wrong and had to be sent back. Mine looked correct, but it was so tough I had to saw through it and had to fight to chew it. I've had more tender stakes at Steak Express. Oh, and my one side actually tasted good (butternut squash) but I came across something hard and it felt like it almost cracked my tooth. It's hard to admit that you just played a small fortune for what was supposed to be an amazing dinning experience that wasn't. Just like it's hard to admit the emperor is not wearing anything, but seriously, that dude was frigging naked. Would not recommend.

I have tried anything here that hasn't been amazing! I love their steak salad. It is not a hot salad on a steak, but rather a wonderfully cooked filet with a salad on the side and a deviled egg.

I will maintain that the Odessa location is BY FAR the better (best if you consider the other two locations) experience. I got seated on the patio which was really nice... a bit chilly so they turned on the burner/heater deal which helped. The service left A LOT to be desired. It took forever for someone to get my drink order, never mind my food order. I ordered the Chorizo pizza which was really good and definitely up to their standards. That is the only reason this review is a 3-star. Aside from the food being good, the service was so lacking: from the hostess almost seeming like she didn't want to seat me to the server taking an extremely long time to get/deliver my orders (folks who were seated after me placed their orders AND got their food ahead of me). I'd rather drive the distance to the Odessa location than come back over here.

Total package! Sometimes when you don't know a city and you just choose a place bc they have outside seating you usually get lucky if either the food or the service is good. But here, everything was top notch. This place has me going "hmmm wonder when we will get to go back to Odessa!!?" I wish we could have tried the whole menu. All the dishes coming out looked scrumptious. This place isn't just "good for a small city", it's competitive anywhere. Our server was a Rockstar. Our steak was medium rare perfection. Crispy edges with chared black pepper. Worcester butter (that I am going to try and copy). Hell, even the asparagus (thanks to that house vinaigrette!) is write home worthy. Definitely get the deviled eggs, from there, I suspect you can't go wrong.

This is a cute restaurant and the food and drinks were good besides the artichokes being really burnt the chicken and steak were really good! The server was nice but she forgot a few things we asked for and our appetizer came out after our entrees and we had to ask twice about it.

The double cut pork chop was not consistent, but the beignets and deviled eggs were on point. Our server was very friendly and kept us well fed with drinks filled. The restaurant was dark in the main serving area, but fit the area well.

Medium-sized restaurant in a new building as part of a small upscale shopping complex--very attractive. The large bar was full at 6:30 when I arrived and there was a warm and busy vibe to the place. I'd give the ambiance a 4.5. I ordered takeout and took advantage of their ample selection of draft beers while I waited. I'm a stranger to Midland, but I'd say this is a great place to be. The deviled eggs were exceptional, in that they had a very generous portion of egg yellow in addition to the bacon. We split the steak salad since we eat modestly, and it was great--the dressing had a slight sweetness that I loved.

Now playing see why everyone says you must eat here, i have been to Midland on business many times over the past few years and everyone always told me to try this place and we'll I finally did. I was promptly seated the host was friendly and accommodating, nice atmosphere and very clean from what I can tell, I like that you have a view of the back of the house and nice looking bar area. Anyways my server Brooklyn was very friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a Michelob ultra and their deviled eggs for an appetizer, I loved the deviled eggs as that was the first time I ever found them as an appetizer at a restaurant. They were delicious. I loved the bacon and they had a nice spicy finish to them, but not too spicy. For my entrée, I had a double cut pork chop, seasoned with herbs and topped with a bourbon sauce. It wasn't overbearing, served with a spaghetti squash that was cooked perfect. They had lots of great menu, items and choices, and I can't wait for the next time that I'm in Midland to stop in here and try something else off the menu. The bathrooms were clean and just the overall experience was great. Service was awesome, lots of great choices for all sorts of appetites given vegetarians. It is definitely worth stopping in if you are here.

Very Very disappointed in the blackened Rid Eye Steak! Absolutely No Taste and very tough! It was like trying to saw through a flat tire! I can cook a steak 10x better than this!! Steak lovers of America Beware this is not the place for a good steak. $48 dollars should buy you a good steak.

Have a reservation!!! This was the second time in 3 months that we tried to pop in at 5:30 and were told it was a 45 min to 1 hour wait with 5-7 tables needing to be bussed. We love the food here, but won't drive through town without a reservation again. The food and service are great here if you can get in. It can be a little loud for high end conversations. Prices here are not cheap.

Made reservations for Friday night at 8:30 pm they were packed but we got right in. The place was quite loud. We started off with deviled eggs and then got the chicken parm and pork chops. The chicken parm was good but it had some spice in it that neither of us could pinpoint but it was not for me so we ended up trading dishes. The spice was overwhelming to me. The pork chops were great. The service was decent nothing to rave about but no issues either. Overall we had a great date night dinner. I might go back to try another dish and get the eggs. Its pretty pricey for what you get on some of the dishes.

It's 5:30 on a Sunday was told it's a 3 hour wait. They only have 3 servers Ridiculous

One of the most delicious steaks I have ever ate in my whole entire life lol!!! seriously not playing, come try this place out...

We went 2 days in a row, and it was vastly different experience each day. Our 1st visit our server Patrice was amazing knew the menu shared the daily specials very attentive, only downfall was all our food arrived at the same time. We had appetizer of spinach artichoke dip, spicy margarita and smashburger with salad. All the food was amazing and couldn't wait to go back the next day and take my son. Our 2nd visit our server was average she never mentioned any specials wasn't that familiar with the menu, she forgot one of our drinks. We had the crispy calamari appetizer which was overcooked and was 85% all fried vegetables and maybe 5 pieces of calamari. The menu doesn't mention anything about vegetables it reads as if you are getting a plate of crispy calamari, unfortunately that wasn't the case. My roommate ordered the salmon it was served pretty well raw and didn't look appealing at all. The smashburger my daughter had was good and the pig pizza which was good. I would probably go back and stick with smashburger and spicy margaritas

Patrice was excellent. Super friendly and on top of things. Never went thirsty or hungry. We ordered the Crispy Calamari (Not pictured as we were too hungry, they were delicious), Beef Short Rib with Mashed Potatoes, Fish & Chips, Veggie of the Day (Asparagus, not pictured, also really yummy), and to top it off the Beignets. Everything was mouth watering. Definitely will return to try out more. Absolutely delicious

I really enjoyed Cork & Pig in the beginning but this place has really went south. twice i have went and my food was horrible and cold. the first was a over cooked steak that was gave cold because it sat in the window and last time i visited i ordered the fish of the day and i could taste the sour. I told server and he said "it's fresh" we are in odessa Texas non of the seafood is fresh. so that was a waist of $45. drinks are still amazing

Great service and great food. I typically only to to places that take reservations when I know it's going to be busy. Been there twice and both times were fantastic
