My family and I tried out Little Pigs BBQ because we wanted some good barbecue. Unfortunately, this was middle school cafeteria barbecue, and they got my order wrong on top of it.
Did a cursory search for the best barbecue in Myrtle Beach, and this place was always near the top. (...Now, I think that's really because there aren't that many options around here.) We wanted to support local, and so we called them up to place an order. I don't think they use online ordering apps.
The menu isn't really online and asked what I should get. The "family pack" was good enough for four people, and they certainly focus on pulled pork. What little information is online, it just says "a half pound of meat" - I understand the name of this place is Little Pigs, but is it pulled pork or slabs of pork or pork ribs, is it another way? I also asked if the beans had meat in them, since a lot of places in Kansas City put burnt ends or bacon in beans. He had no idea and it seemed like he had never been asked such a question. Not a good sign.
My interaction in the restaurant was very quick, I just grabbed my food and left. The inside was very much like a diner from the 60s. No frills.
The family pack comes with two sides and tons and sweet tea and meat. I didn't inspect the food they gave me because it was all wrapped up and I can't just chill in the restaurant. What I found was that the meat was put in a Styrofoam cup that I thought was the sweet tea. And so then there was no sweet tea. You would think they would have to go orders a little bit more thought out than putting a pound of pulled pork in a sweet tea container...?
For someone who loves BBQ, the food was very mediocre at best. The pork was not seasoned and had no flavor. The beans were basically out of a can, but not even Bush's Baked Beans-level. And that's saying something. The mild sauce was unremarkable, and the hot sauce was just the mild sauce with cayenne pepper put in. Tasted like it was from a jug. The coleslaw was shredded into oblivion.
Overall, not a good meal, and that's unfortunate.
