Georgia Pig BBQ & Restaurant

Great food at a really good price. The server was more than helpful in finding something I’d like and telling me a bit about the restaurant. The bbq is not smoked in the traditional sense. Rather it is cooked over a wood fire and gets its Smokey flavor from that. Either way it is delicious and I will be back.

My BF has been here a couple of times while working in the area. I decided to try this place while in town with him. I had the beef BBQ platter. Everything was delicious. Cole slaw was really good. We love supporting small local ma&pa restaurants. This place takes you back in time, feels like your leaving all your stress behind once you walk thru the door.

It was just alright. The pork sandwich was good, the Mac n cheese was good, and the coleslaw was probably the best part about the experience, but the BBQ sauce was very disappointing, unless you like the consistency of tasteless water 😏

I love this place, my first time here was in 2018 and I was driving back home after a meeting and drove by this place and of course It worth the u turn The atmosphere is charming and cozy, the time stopped several years ago The wedge salad is one of the best I’ve ever tried, ordered the brisket plate and with this can eat 2 persons for $30 bucks The server was a little bit upset but then a very kind gentleman explained to me that they just closed the kitchen and also the restaurant was already closed but I can stay there and enjoy my food (that was amazing) I was a little bit ashamed because of that, otherwise knowing that were about to close I would never walked in BTW I went for the ribs and were sold out, so I’ll be back to give a try soon (and in regular hours)

Went for a late lunch, as soon we opened the car door we could smell the smoke, which was amazing. We ordered two platters, one pork and one beef, both served with fries, bread and coleslaw. Plenty of meat with a sauce. Our waitress was excellent and we was served quickly. The place had an old time road smoke house feel to it. Very pleasant all round. Plenty of parking around the back.

This restaurant is hard to rate, in the sense that you have to compare it to others. In a world where everyone tries to be bigger, brighter, contactless, Georgia Pig doesn't, and it's perfectly fine. I mean, their checks are handwritten. They keep it simple and old school. It doesn't have a screen where you can order without human interaction, but if the smoky flavor of the firewood bbq doesn't drag you in, you may need to check if you have a pulse. The food is fabulous, hearty and tender. Everything I tried was really good. Not a huge variety of drinks, their iced tea is great, not too sweet. They advertise being open since 1953, which is awesome, now I think some minor upgrades to the infrastructure (so it doesn't feel like it's been untouched since then) would be great IMO. The bathroom is outside and very small, which I don't mind and it maintains the character, but maybe the sink should not be held up by a 2 x 4, it's my point. Service was fast and everyone was nice and friendly, looking forward to my next visit.

Tried and true community staple even after the change of original management/owners. Have been going to G.P. for almost 20 years, while a vegetarian and now as a carnivore, it doesn't disappoint. Same smokey goodness, same tenderness, same delicious flavor, same quality service. Keep it up GP, you'll be sure to last another 70 years in the community! My favorite is the brisket and daily meal specials. The sauces are also so complementary to the smoked meats.

We've been here several times. The food is good and the service could be better. Looks like they only have one waitress. The last time we went, my sons food was cold.

Great great oak stick cooked pork. Best in SFla. Been going since 1970. Never failed once

Vintage bbq restaurant with a real smoker! Good bbq ribs and plenty of food! Fast and prompt service.

If there is better barbecue in south Florida I haven't had it yet. This is the best around. Always a seat available and the food comes quick. Bring your appetite!

Great food. Nice people Local owner. Been there forever. Very small. Limited seats. Not open late.

Love the pork special very reasonable price query fries and slaw. Can't beat that for lunch. Fried chicken on Fridays only and so good.... Yelp is awful but the Georgiapig is great... can't recommendenough.

The food is Always delicious recommend the slice beef dinner or ribs and Collard greens

08/17 Saturday @ 12:30 Disappointing food and possible discrimination? We're a low key local middle aged gay couple. We've had good experiences in the past but this maybe our last. No issue with the staff we engaged with; everyone pleasant and hard working. Chili was made of quality ingredients but had a strange chemical taste? Pulled pork sandwiches where undercooked; contained bits of muscle/bone and a strange acidic after taste. Callard Greens were poorly seasoned with no identifiable pork pc's. French Fries were slightly soggy. BBQ sources on table not marked and both were too sour. Owner/manager went to every table to ask how the food was but not ours and we were in the middle of the restaurant? The drop ceiling panels in the dinning room are all warped with visible water damage and mold. Meaning the situation on the other side of the panels would be a nightmare. This is a relatively easy fix without much investment but yet nothing is done? When we got home we both had extreme stomach issues and diarrhea for two days. It's possible we were poisoned?

Went here for the first time today. Walked in and every table was taken but quickly got a seat. It was also lunch time but to me that's a good sign the food is good! When I first looked at the menu I couldn't believe how cheap it was! I ordered the Spare ribs which came with french fries, cole slaw, and a buttered roll. My boyfriend got the chopped pork sandwich and we shared mac and cheese and collard greens. I really enjoyed my spare ribs and the sauce that comes on it. I thought they could have been a little bit more "fall off the bone" but I also couldn't stop eating them lol. My boyfriend's pork sandwich was delicious! The mac and cheese was sooo good! I thought the collards could have been more flavorful but still not bad. Even the french fries were good! We have been hitting a lot of BBQ places lately in the South Broward area and this is definitely now at the top of our list. I also have to add the service was attentive and the food came out quickly. We will definitely be coming back to explore the menu.

Omg for 16.99 you can't buy food this good, it was a meal for two. Just outstanding BBQ right here in Broward county Florida.

Seriously Killer barbecue!!! So good I have to limit myself on going. You're forewarned. It's mad delicious and happily addicting. Enjoy!

Delicious food great staff and one of the cleanest places you can have lunch in south Florida. Congrats on a perfect score of cleanliness

This is a quirky little ancient BBQ spot. The value is good for what you get. The food is solid and has a very distinctive style, which is what you want in a BBQ joint: Something that stands out from the rest. There are some surprises on the menu, like awesome chili and the Brunswick stew. No fried okra, but that's getting harder to find for us fans. They have a few BBQ sauces and all were fine, but no truly spicy option (not a deal breaker at all, but we like spicy food!). Here's the quirky part... It's a mom-n-pop (which we LOVE), but mom and pop like to go to bed early, so they close at 6:45p and 4:45p on Saturday maybe for the Sabbath because they are closed on Sunday. AAAANNNDDDD... GOOD FOR THEM! Everyone needs a day of rest and they deserve it: You just gotta plan your visit accordingly.

Just because they have been there forever doesn't mean that they have an excuse besides being greedy to serve shit food to guest . I don't even have to explain . The city needs to know what's going on here I got extremely sick from this food . The sauce is shit . The prices are great because they are serving shit . Rats clearly . It's disgusting. The ceilings coming off . THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT GET RENOVATIONS ON A TIMELY MANNER . Now the buildings shit . I'm pissed off that I literally chewed a piece of activated charcoal and I got sick. The food is disgusting. SERVICE IS LAZY . Who owns this place ? TEAR IT DOWN

We went in here this afternoon for an early dinner. The place is pretty run down with all the old booths and tables, as well as restrooms that are outside. A very strange set up. The BBQ menu was totally disappointing with the lack of baby back ribs and the lack of brisket. I don't know why you would call yourself a BBQ restaurant without those key popular items. We ordered two platters, one with just pork ribs, fries, and macaroni salad, and the other with ribs, quarter chicken white, and fries with coleslaw. We also ordered a bowl of chili which was the best food we ate out of the bunch. The chili had some good flavor but the accompanied crackers tasted stale. The ribs were very tough and hard to eat. The fries were very plain as well as the macaroni salad. The coleslaw was far too sweet and watery. The quarter chicken white breast had no taste at all to it, which was very disappointing. We finished our meal with the banana pudding, which tasted pretty good, but for $4.75 you seem to only get four spoonfuls, which was shocking. The service here is about the only good thing I can mention about this place. Our server was friendly and quick. But, the main point is that the BBQ here is just awful.

Delicious southern bbq! All the sides were fresh friendly service and reasonable prices

Sorry I was disappointed!! I had looked forward to going to this restaurant! Service was good but really no bar-b-q sauce except a yellow something claiming to be sauce. Give me Robs anytime!!!

Really good BBQ spot! The prices make you feel like you're at a 1970's diner. Definitely worth coming here to try. BBQ pick 2 combo with bread & 2 sides was an absolute feast for like $17. Some feedback to improve: 1) a sign or a stand that says "please seat yourself". It eliminates the aspect of customers standing at the front not knowing what to do & waiting for a server who will just say "seat yourself" 2) A vent fan at the front door to keep any flies out. There wasn't many tbh but this should stop the probem 3) Add bacon to the collard greens & add a sauce with a little more flavor. Something a little spicy but not overboard 4) add 1 more type of sweet bbq sauce at the table (good spicy options, something sweet will round it out) 5) find out a way to make the bbq a little less tough and dry. Worth the price and all but this would take it next level & u would have room to increase prices & sales. Might be tough with your current method of cooking it though. I hope the owner finds this feedback well, and I do appreciate the hospitality I was given. Looking to come back and maybe see a few changes for the better. Overall awesome experience to start though for a first time.

In for something new. Always get a chopped pork sandwich. Ordered a sliced pork plate. Came with fries and toasted bread. Fries were old. Sliced pork would have been cut from a pork butt. The same cut the chopped sandwiches come from. Came out almost cold and had no smoke flavor. Unlike the sandwiches. Sent it back 2 times to be reheated. Will stick to sandwiches in the future. 4 stars for the service and sandwiches.

The people that give this place just a few stars are all disappointed because the place is kind of "run down". My argument is that it's exactly what makes THE GEORGIA PIG so great. Not only has it been here since the 50s, just stepping inside carries me back to the great BBQ I remember from my childhood. Growing up in rural South Carolina. Its clean. It's comfortable and it's full of happy. Friendly people and great food. The menu is rather limited to chicken, chopped pork. Chopped beef and a few other selections The food is all very good. And it's home to my favorite sandwich of all time.....The chopped pork sandwich. No need to add sauce or anything. Just unwrap it and get ready for some serious flavor! If I had a gripe. It's a minor one: Most BBQ joints have great GREENS. Not so here. I might be mistaken but I think these are out of a can and then fancied up a bit. At any rate it's not serious enough to remove an entire star. This is a true South Florida landmark and a MUST visit for anyone vacationing here as well as Florida natives.

It sure isn't anything fancy but if you like bbq this is the place. Absolutely delish homestyle bbq. I had the platter with ribs and pork chunks. It is cooked to perfection. Everything practically melts in your mouth. I also had a piece of pie which tasted sooo good. You will not be disappointed. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable.

This restaurant is a small, stand alone mom and pop style bbq stand on 441. The interior is small, yet cozy. There is a combination of bar seating, tabletops, and booths. Upon entering the building, you seat yourself. We were promptly greeted by a waitress and given menus and waters. We went towards the end of the night (it closes at 7) so they were out of the daily special. The table has a bottle of bbq sauce to add to any of the dishes. I ordered the bbq chicken platter. My husband ordered the bbq beef platter and his sister ordered the bbq pork platter. All the platters come with French fries, coleslaw, and bread. My bbq chicken was great. It was cooked to perfection and there was plenty of chicken. I also tried the other dishes, but didn't like them as much. The beef and the pork was kind of chewy. We all added more bbq sauce. The sauce was tangy and I prefer mine to be sweet/tangy. The coleslaw was delicious and it was sweet. The service was spectacular. They were very attentive and nice.

Divey, hole in the wall look and vibe. Inside is full of smoke, adds to the ambience, but it's a bit much. The prices are reasonable and fair. CASH ONLY!!! There is plenty of parking out back. The sliced beef was good. Solid smoke and tangy sauce. My biggest concern is why didn't the fat and gristle render out? I had several pieces with that issue and hence the low rating. Is it lower quality meat? Cool. But on to the next bbq spot.

We stopped by for a late lunch/early dinner. We weren't sure if they were doing only take out or you could dine in. Turns out, they pack everything for take out, but you can eat your food there. The restaurants is a small building on the west side of 441. It's considered classic, but is also a bit run down to be honest. Not the place for a fancy meal or first date. Bathrooms are accessed from the outside on the side of the building. I ordered the chopped bbq pork sandwich. Instead of fries, I got their baked beans. The four stars of this review are all for the pork -- which was fantastic! The meat was soft and flavorful and had a nice char/crust on the outside. It comes plain, but I did try some of their mustard based bbq sauce (the other choices are hot sauce or ketchup). So, if you can't tell -- get the pork. The beans on the other hand were just so so. In fact, I tasted them once and then didn't finish them. My husband also ordered the pork, but as a combo plate with two sides. For sides he got macaroni salad and baked beans. He felt the same way about the beans as did I. On the other hand, we both liked the macaroni salad -- not too much mayo mixed with elbow pasta. I think I'd like to try their potato salad next time, as well. We got a slice of their coconut cream pie to go. They said that this pie, plus the chocolate cream and the pecan pie are all made in house. (BTW, their fruit pies are made off site, but baked there). I had the pie at home later. The filling was okay, but the fake whipped topping didn't appeal. They only had a few booths set aside to sit in, but that was fine as we were one of only 2 tables dining there. The gal manning the register was friendly and personable. We saw a number of people getting takeout, while we were there. And they now accept credit cards (it used to be cash only).

A once great place that Ill never go to again. It's sad because I try to support Mom nPop places best I can, but Ga Pig has really become sub par. I ordered the 1/2 chicken and an iced tea, which cost $21. The chicken, apart from being a small portion, had a chalky texture . Im not the type to send food back; I'll just never return. This meal was disappointing,and it was in no way worth the money. The waitress was nice- all that. Its always been a charming place, but what good is it if the food is mediocre at best?

We've been trying to get here for months and finally made it in last night. The good news is, we found our bbq spot, the bad news is, we found our bbq spot. We ordered their Wednesday special, which was country, fried steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and bread for $10. We also ordered a pork and beef combo because we wanted to try everything! Service was quick, and everyone was so attentive. One guy saw that we were a few scoops short on gravy, and without even asking, came around the corner with a little extra bowl of it. The coleslaw was delicious. The french fries were perfect. We ordered two slices of pie because we couldn't decide from their selection. I thought for sure the pecan would out do the chocolate, and then I tried the chocolate. Every bite was better than the next. I grew up, going to barbecue restaurants in the Carolinas, and this made me feel like I was back there. It's quiet, it's homey, and the food could not be better! We can't wait to go back!

Been going here a long time and the place is consistently good. I saw that new owners came in some years ago but was happy that the place stayed the same. It's not a fancy joint with lace and china plates, but an old style BBQ place that serves good food. it's an old buildings and could be better in some small areas but what can't be? I'm glad they take card now and not only cash. Lot of repeat customers which indicates what they are doing is working.

I have been going to this place for years! Just a little advice to the young Pitt master cutting up our pork to make sandwiches!!!! If you are handling your phone and have one glove on and one glove off and who knows what else he was handling please remove DIRTY GLOVE and go WASH YOUR HANDS AND THEN COME BACK AND PUT NEW GLOVES ON AND then HANDLE THE FOOD!!! Sanitary is SANITARY......

Unfortunately, it's a NO for me. I pass this place on the regular and decided to finally give them a try. Staff isn't too friendly nor did I feel like I received a welcoming energy. I ordered a bbq chopped beef sandwich. Where do I begin, fries were super cold, sandwich is bland and lacks favor. What makes things more disappointing is the lack of providing quality BBQ. As I'm eating my sandwich I couldn't finish it due to the lack of flavor, chewiness and they obviously don't do quality checks because they made my sandwich with the lettuce wrapping still attached to it. I gave two stars for EFFORT and the history of this location but besides that, do better. Making BBQ is an art. Not everybody can do it and if you don't have the passion to cook great BBQ, than don't waste your time.

Stopped in here today for a quick grab and go (take out) . I heard about this being a pretty decent mom and pop spot bunches of times , so today finally decided to check it out . Apparently they've been around since the 50s and from the looks of the building structure and terazzo flooring , not much has changed since the opening , which is partly what gives it that cute south Florida dine-in vibe. The food however is very subpar. It hardly met the requirements of a decent BBQ joint. I came in and ordered the pulled pork sandwhich, hot dog and macaroni . The sandwich was extremely rubbery, super dry, and had ZERO flavor. I had to grab barbecue sauce out of the pantry to dress it up . I was very let down . There's not much to say about a hotdog because all hotdogs are filled with preservatives so you can't really call any of them "good food" I did have to add relish and catch up for taste however. Now let's get onto the macaroni..... if you're looking for any kind of Soulfood comfort... you will not find it here. Pasta had no flavor, no cheese, and was so watery it wouldn't stay on the fork . It tasted a bit old as well . I expected more from this place given being in business as long as they have... however I will not be a returning customer and I will not make recommendations to anyone to come here.

Ate there again this Saturday, eleven years after my initial review. I tried not all but a lot BBQ places in Broward and South Palm Beach counties, and the Pig still wears the crown. So nothing has changed, including my rating. Ok, except they now offer Espresso and Cortadito (yeah!), and specials like the new "Pig Bowl" [LOL] - Pork, Mac&Cheese and Collard Greens all in one bowl. Haven't tried it and not sure I will, but for a tongue-in-cheek pun on all those healthy grains/veggie/tofu bowls, the idea of a Pig Bowl is hilarious. Not ideal from a nutritional perspective, but then: does someone *force* you do order it? - See?! After all these years, The Pig is still highly recommended.

we live about 30 miles away and for a treat we drive there because the pork bbq sandwiches are so good. I love that the place is original. I have been to other bbq places they are never very pretty also. I like waitresses taking my order. Cant wait to get there again. Love my BBQ at Georgia Pig

First off, be aware that this place is a "Cash Only" operation. Georgia Pig Pit BBQ Restaurant was established in 1953 and from the looks of the place with its aged brick and old Assuro like terrazzo flooring hasn't changed one bit over the years. So, if you feel you fallen into a time warp, you in fact have. However, for me, that is one of the endearing elements of this place that I really like. It's Old Florida, not only with its BBQ but with its friendly down home kind of service. As I was there on a Thursday I went for the regular Thursday special of "Country Fried Steak" along with green beans and potato. When served it was full plate, plenty of food which at the princely price of $8.50 was a real bargain. Though the beans had out of the can taste and the mash potato was lumpy the country fried steak was perfect in taste and flavor. I can't wait to get back here to try their BBQ of which I didn't manage to get on nibble. It was enough for me to comment on, but good enough to make me want to return for it. Food wise, from what I ate it's only a three star but the unique Old Florida ambiance is a four star. So, even though it's not much of a place, sort of diner like, I can go four stars on it.

I stopped by for a quick bite to go. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich and everything was okay until I saw them put it in the microwave.Really?

We ordered delivery and it was great service!! BBQ beef was very good as well. Will order again.

We had take out of bbq pork and beef sandwiches. They were delicious and well worth the brief wait. The restaurant is small but cozy. Very good place to go for BBQ.

Breaks my heart to write this but my lunch today was not even edible. Absolutely terrible. Pure black pork.

Great food family run business. Definetly a favorite comfort food staple in tge niehhb

This the best bbq pork sandwich in Ft Lauderdale. This is an old restaurant that has not changed a bit in the 35 years I've been eating here. Don't expect high end just excellent down to earth food. And the pork sandwich is GREAT. Put lots of the sauce on it. It's a thin sauce. I believe pickle juice is the base but it's excellent on the pork. Also they're pies are great especially the chocolate cream pie!!

Definitely homemade! Too homemade for my tastes. The decor is dated but it doesn't detract from the place.

I was hungry and in a hurry. Didn't want the usual fast food burger. So, I remembered the smell of barbecue wood burning and it was on my way. So, I popped in, the restaurant was full and the smell of food was delightful. It took maybe 3 minutes and I made my to go order. I ordered a pull pork sandwich and frys. It took about 5 minutes, reasonably priced, the frys didn't make it back to the car. They were hot and delicious, my sandwich was so yummy. It had chunks of tender, juicy meat on a soft bun. Worth the pot stop.

Love the REAL pit baroque the smock draws you in and then the flavors make you stay enjoyed the food

Wow. The quality has gone down here since the owner sold. Just had my usual lunch special with the Brunswick stew and pulled pork and fries. The Brunswick stew was burnt and almost a dark brown the bottom of it was inedible. The pork was decent but there was no bark on it like they're usually is not sure if they've changed their style or technique but they used to specifically peel off the outside and then throw it back in so they could always have bark on it. Breaks my heart to give it 2 stars but they need to get their act together. New owner needs to tighten the ship and wait staff clowned around a little too much and eating behind the counter in full view of customers chomping away. Although I am a long time customer I don't think I'll be back.

I'm very disappointed at this restaurant. First impressions was great. But lost my appetite when I saw server put my food in the microwave to heat up. If I want microwave food I would've stay home. Beef was fat and tough. Not good at all.

Outstanding food, flavor, service, atmosphere I'm not a fan of BBG, but LOVE Georgia Pig! Check it out y'all! !

I've been a customer since 1977 it was always a treat to go to the Pig Sold to new owners which continued on In the same fashion food was great I move the way Don't go there often anymore but made the 35 mile ride to go have a delicious lunch and was totally disappointed nothing tastes the same the only thing that was still good was the cold slaw the sandwich we left behind and meet had no flavor very sad to share Believe the source was even changed

Went Into The Restaurant A Lil After 3:00pm Today. It Was My First And Last Time. I'm Sitting Here Still Puzzled As To Why Did The Cashier Tell 2 Other People Who Walked In The Restaurant And Asked If Me Any My Boyfriend Was Dining In Or Taking Out? It Was None Of Their Business What We Were Doing But Of Course She Responds, Of Course They Are Taking Out. What Does That Mean? We Were The Only Two Blacks That Were In The Restaurant So I'm Guessing If We Were Dining In, The Other White Couple Would Have Took Their Food To Go. I'm Pissed With Myself That I Even Let My Dude Pay For That Food. Customer Service Is Key. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Do yourself a favor make your way to 441 just South of Broward Boulevard and have the best barbecue in South Florida hands down. As a NOLA transplant I've been looking for good southern barbecue for almost 30 years, and it's right in my backyard and I never knew it. WAY too many Years of missed good barbecue... Pulled pork sandwich, best I've ever had. Tangy mustard-based barbecue sauce does Georgia proud. Delicious sweet slaw, amazing southern potato salad, and amazing fresh brewed iced tea. It's all good. And don't get me started on their breakfast. Eggs are always perfect. Bacon and ham are amazing. And hands-down the best grits I've ever had. And I am a southern boy! Oh, and don't forget the Friday night fried chicken. Just delicious. Thank you Georgia Pig!

An amazing jewel in Fort Lauderdale, tasting the BBQ Ribs & Pork They don't accept credit or debit card ONLY CASH but it worth the try Best brisket and pork in town Must have

My boss has been telling me about this place for years. Today he took me and my daugjter there for lunch... So. Good. I had the beef sandwich. She had the spaghetti special. I love BBQ and this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. And the sauce was delicious! She ate every bite of her spaghetti even though it was a fairly big portion. I will definitely be eating here again.
