Pig-N-Chik BBQ

Nice little BBQ place to eat at. The staff was very welcoming and explained the menu! We had brisket, ribs, and turkey and it was good. The sauces are on the table and the spicy sauce was good just wish it was a little thicker. Overall, a good meal in a nice environment! P.S. their sweet tea is perfect! 👌

Some of the best bbq. Smoked pulled chicken was tender and delicious - no bones in sight which is a major win for me. Fried okra is some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff goes above and beyond - always smiling and kind. Love this place!

I loved this little hidden gem in fountain oaks. I am from South Alabama and this place brought me back to my hometown roots. The flavor of the pulled chicken sand-which on the Texas toast with the baked beans, fried pickles, green beans, and celery was awesome. I smothered it in their BBQ sauce they had at each table and was it a 10/10! I’m very picky about my pulled chicken too!! Y’all should give this place a try. I went for lunch with my fiancé and we ate every bite. :)

The wings, catfish and potato salad were the ⭐️ components of today dishes! Everything else was just ok, not bad-but there other places that I know those dishes taste better. I like the whole nostalgia feeling & laid back serve yourself atmosphere. The manager and employees were very helpful recommending the best sauces to try with what meats. And they have moon pies, a childhood favorite 😁

For $43.07 I expected much better! Wife had the chopped pork plate with corn and fried okra. Pork was salty and extremely greasy. Corn seemed to have been poured out of a can. Fried okra was horribly breaded and undercooked. Breading was falling off and okra was stringy and chewy… My plate was chopped brisket. Fried okra. Potato salad. Brisket was greasy and full of fat. Okra was same as my wife’s. Potato salad was worse than any that I’ve ever had. These orders were both supposed to have had Texas toast. Sliced white bread is certainly NOT Texas toast! Very sad experience and we will not return!

Nothing amazing. The price paid for the amount and condition wasn't worth it. The food was cold when picked up, and the sides had no flavor. The meat was cooked well and seasoned well. It's not the best sit-down environment for newcomers. Order to-go pulled pork meal with fries and corn

Went to this place as it’s in walking distance to where I live. I’m new to the area so I thought I’d get some good southern BBQ. Wrong! The meat was dry and the sides were pretty forgettable not to mention they served me the food almost cold. Not a great spot for BBQ. Will not be back! I assume there are better spots for this kind of cuisine in Atlanta. I’d skip this place.

Great bbq even better atmosphere. Loved my combo platter pictured. Whenever I am in town, I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Great and friendly service with amazingly delicious food, a tad expensive but all good barbecue is! They're all family recipes so I definitely would recommend. Also the best cornbread ever!

Grabbed a bite fur lunch, to-go. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with a side of the sweet potato tots. Comically I think this is probably the tiniest bun I've ever seen served for chicken salad sandwiches. Nevertheless the chicken salad was good - Savory, but not a standout in terms of seasoning. The tots were more than plentiful in the serving amount, much to my delight. There is ample seating with some tables for outside dining as well. And the service was quick and easy.

I wanted to share my recent discovery on Yelp. I was doing my usual grocery run at Kroger's, and I spotted Pig-N-Chik BBQ, one of my all-time favorite Atlanta barbecue restaurants. They have opened a location in Sandy Springs/Buckhead! Pig-N-Chik BBQ was my go-to spot back in my Chamblee days. Their food is reminiscent of authentic North Carolina barbecue, with flavors that are authentic and delicious. The owner, Jim Graddy was at this location, and made me feel so welcome. We chatted about the new location, and barbecue. I only picked up the beef brisket this time and wasn't able to shoot a pic of my meal but it was so good. I promise to come back armed with my camera next time and share the deliciousness with you all. So, if you're in the mood for some great barbecue and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Pig-N-Chik BBQ is the place to be. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Love pig n chick. Always good. Great service. Neighborhood go to. Fun trivia night. Favorite is chicken, steamed broccoli and love their wings

I had the mild chicken wings and they were good. I would have given 5 stars, but they did not cook my chicken hard (extra crispy) as I requested. This has happened twice and I had to cook my wings again in my breville. Otherwise, the chicken is good and I will order again.

The customer service is outstanding. The gentleman took our order, chatted with us and even made funny jokes. The food was delicious. The fries were hot and the barbecue was outstanding. The ambiance is unique. I truly enjoyed my food. Took a star away because my to go order wasn't correct. Didn't get my corn and got baked beans instead of green beans. Our dine in order was perfect.

Outstanding catering for our 4th of July party! The barbecue chicken was smoky and shredded and so delicious. The coleslaw was some of the best I've ever had. Everyone asked where we got it. They included four different sauces that were all delicious. The kids ate all of the mac & cheese, it was a big hit! We can't wait to use them again for our next event. They were so easy to work with and had everything ready.

My youngest daughter and I loved to come to this place. We always got the Turkey plate with fried okra and broccoli. The side of chicharrones excellent. She still asks to come back, but unfortunately, I found. Myself made sick from what I presume was I sweet tea left out for too long (we both ate the same stuff except for the tea, but then I was sick)

Grabbed takeout. Service was a tad slow but when it arrived and got it home, it was great!!! Juicy, right hint of smoky. Greens were DELICIOUS!!! Most places never get brisket right but not here. Portions generous too. I tried the key lime pie Will be back !!

Great bbq with friendly service. Chicken wings with lemon pepper sauce are awesome as well

I'm a strong believer in having superior customer service so if your a believer like me Stay away from this location ! The middle age lady working the front counter is rude ,disrespectful and unruly. On several occasion me and my boyfriend has visited this location . Despite the food being tasty we always seem to leave with a bitter taste in our mouths due to her attitude and snappiness . Today was the day we politely expressed our concerns the manager intervened and was still clueless .

We haven't done any IN-house dining since all this madness hit. I'm in the restaurant world and even find myself slow to decide if, when and where I'll go back to eat (*which I am dying to, for the record*). But we have done take out five times now, after last night. Each holiday that's come around - how strange is that we've been in some form of lockdown for at least that many commonly celebrated occasions? - we've gotten a treat of take-out. Last night, for Memorial Day weekend tradition, my husband wanted BBQ. PnC was an easy choice and a treat. We called around 430 not knowing how busy they might be with to go, but right at 5 ours was ready. Brisket for him, a pulled pork sandwich for each of us, sides of green beans, mac n cheese. My meat was perfect- tender, no sauce needed, and on that good fluffy white TX toast they serve. The beans were just little too peppery for me. He reported flavorful meat all around. I *might* eat BBQ once a year so this was a nice treat for plenty of reasons. Getting our restaurants up and going - especially the independent ones (sorry Brinker & et al, y'all have enough funds to figure it out and get differently structured support) - is going to make such a difference in many people's economic and emotional lives.

I didnt really get a smoky flavor with their bbq, so i was disappointed with that. Mac and cheese was mediocre. Fried pickles were crunchy, but a bit on the salty side. Service was fast and friendly, decor and atmosphere was so-so. I may come back to try their fresh pork rinds, but other than that, everything was about mediocre for me.

I was unfamiliar with this quaint lil BBQ spot when I originally moved to Georgia so I was eager to try it. I tried a variety of their wings at a catered event and enjoyed so decided to go on my own. I am in love with okra and always love theirs as well as the fried pickles. The fried pickles are a bit salty but no complaints paired with the wings. I must admit that when I have a taste for smoke wings, this is my GO TO. At times, I think, the wings can be cleaned better and have spotted distasteful hairs on a few...that is such a turn off to me when eating wings and a sign of poor cleaning. BUT I must say, I do enjoy the flavor of their smoked wings. The sides are pretty bland so I'd play it safe and stick to the chicken. What I love the most and can always appreciate is the friendly and helpful Southern hospitality and service.

Go to BBQ in ATL. Pulled pork is moist and delicious, great Brunswick stew and Mac and cheese. Cole slaw is very good. Dropped one star bc the restaurant itself is a little run down- get takeout or catering instead!

Love the wings but can't say so much for the customer service. On numerous occasions the lady who take the orders have been rude. I brushed it off several times but today when I decided to say something the manager paco decided to step in and take my order. As I politely expressed my concerns about the lady who takes the order he told me I was being rude because I told her it might be better if she asked guest "dine in or take out" before people start ordering instead of cutting them off mid sentence. This has to the the second or third time she's looked at me as in a manner to say "how can I help you" just to cut me off mid sentence once I start ordering to ask in a sarcastic tone "Is this going to be dine in or take out". She's a very rude person and makes me feel like she don't want us there

THIS is good BBQ. The smoky flavor that is throughout the rib and the chicken wing portion that I got was so good. I have to say I was a little disappointed with the wing only because it was an add-on to my order only because the price that was displayed on the overhead menu led me to believe I was getting a whole wing. Now I know. They also have a Brunswick stew that is out of this world GOOD! This location has outdoor seating and I think indoor is open to dine in as well but it was such a nice day that everyone was outside. I did see covid protocol being followed

I totally pre judged. I don't know why but for some reason sitting in my car outside this place on Labor Day trying to find something open.... I thought this place would be a little honky tonk and out back water ran!!!! I never thought this for anywhere else in GA, why now, no clue. I went it, it was clean, very homey, and everyone was really professional and on their service game. I called in the order so it was ready in 10 minutes of that. I had the red neck nachos with brisket and broccoli. In the pictures the portion looks somewhat small but the takeout portion was huge! I would say it feeds 4 people as a side. The brisket was good, the broccoli was meh. I would definitely come back.

I went to this restaurant after I saw the Restaurant Review on ANF. The people were nice, the restaurant was clean. I thought a typical bbq restaurant style atmosphere. I ordered the Brisket plate and 2 sides. I thought the Brisket was good, but disappointed that it came to the table at room temperature after a wait , and the bread on the side was not toasted at all. The sides were coleslaw and their green beans. The beans were a peppery mix but good and the coleslaw was good as well. One of my friends also ordered the Brisket and had the same results. He was with me at the time. They also charge a fee for using a credit card. If they tweak their food temperatures I think they would get better results.

It's okay for a quick, fast, dinner option. The pulled pork was delicious with the bbq sauce. I gave them three stars because I like when the sides complement the meat well. They have some opportunities. Although the gentlemen said it was his grandmothers recipes.... I was only a fan of the coleslaw. The Mac and cheese was good. I'm just really picky on how Mac and cheese is made overall. I prefer Mac and cheese baked not cooked on a stove. This is my second time coming here with my boyfriend. He seems to love it and always orders it on Grubhub. His usual pick is ribs. The space is inviting. We also walked in on trivia night on Thursday's with an older crowd. If that's your kind of night then this is your type of environment. Location is close to sandy springs and buckhead. If you're in the neighborhood and don't feel like going out of your way then you should give them a shoot.

Not a bad place for BBQ, if Yu are in the Roswell Road area. A coworker and I went here a few days ago and we found both the service and the food to be very enjoyable. Standouts (that we tried was the pork, mac and cheese, Coke slaw and the sweet tea. They also have a lot of beer to choose from and Moon Pies!!!

Do you ever have one of those days you don't feel like leaving the house & stayin in your jammies then you smell the neighbors grilling out and your stomach gets to grumbling and well cooking is not an option ? If you're tired of Chinese and a bag of popcorn won't due try Pick n Chick they deliver, the b.b.q. is reliable so all you have to do is make a phone call and it will show up in a jiffy. Eat yourself silly, relax, then back to bed for a nice nap sounds good right ? Ribs are ordered on occasion while not my favorite (in town) are tender, the Smoked Turkey & Pulled Pork will satisfy. Oh my the Smoked Wings (.50 each) mmm I've become a bit addicted to these they are highly smoked, seasoned and need not a drop of sauce. All meats can be bought as sandwiches, plates or by the pound and several sides can be purchased in two sizes. Moon Pies large or minis can be snapped up at the counter. Sauces are on the tables if you are getting delivery let them know what kind(s) you want. Beer is in the cold case and catering can be done. Sometimes when walking the dog a pit stop is made here the staff will even bring the dog water, nice. Pick n Chick closes at 9:30 just be there before then or you may not get what you hoped for.

Solid place to get some bbq. Nothing fancy here. Your food is served on paper plates and you order at the counter. Which if you ask me, are signs that it's legit bbq. I had a brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket was pretty good and the Mac and cheese was delicious. Very convenient, very good, check them out!

What's great about Pig-N-Chik is the atmosphere and the people. The food alone isn't worth driving out of your way, but it's perfectly fine for what it is (solid bbq.) However, this is a very inviting, casual little spot that hosts super fun trivia nights on Thursdays - if that's your thing, I recommend checking it out. There have been two different hosts in recent months, both of whom keep the game moving quickly and have friendly personalities. The staff and management couldn't be nicer, either. Like the restaurant itself, which is covered in sports memorabilia, they're laid-back and want to make their guests feel comfortable. Those guests run the gamut - you'll see people of all ages, races, and walks of life here. Nestled at the edge of a shopping center on Roswell Rd., Pig-N-Chik has a small menu. They have a few specialties and try to get those right. You have the option of a sandwich with beef, pork, or chicken, or a plate with the same meats. Meats are served dry, and there is a pretty good sauce on the table (it's smoky and tangy, which I like - but if you want sweet or vinegar, you may have to ask specially.) You can also opt for "Redneck Nachos," which is your choice of meat over crinkle-cut fries, topped with shredded cheddar cheese. As far as the meat goes, the pork is your best bet. The chicken has been a little dry the couple of times I've gotten it, but let's be honest - I was just gonna douse it in sauce anyway. If you simply want to hang out with your friends and get a pretty decent dinner at a very affordable place while in a comfortable atmosphere with friendly staff, Pig-N-Chik is worth the stop!

Their stuff is decent ... they deliver.... it's fairly quick and filling. Nothing to rave about... the taste consistency isn't the same each time but I would say it's good enough for "fast" bbq plates. And they often forget plastic ware

Oh Lord, please help me!! I ordered combo #2 and I feel I'm being punished for my pride; the platter is served up like an ark of deliciousness with seemingly two of every meat, bread, Mac and cheese. And Brunswick stew all for $23... I should have paced myself but I was so excited that I couldn't hold back and I paid the price, now I've got 3 meats left to go and a to go box of shame next to me... Forgive me for having sinned against these meats and not finishing them properly...

Decided to order from here while in town and wanting a taste of the south. Good call on my part I would have to say.. I ordered the chicken dinner with a side of collard greens and Mac a cheese. With an order of sweet tea and banana pudding. My greens were so yummy, my Mac and cheese I didn't care to much for. My chicken was cooked just right and my sweet tea you can tell was made fresh. Didn't even make it to the banana pudding to tell you about it. There bbq hot sauce is a plus in book be sure to ask for a side or two of that. Other then that they get two thumbs up from me!!!

I really do love this place. Being a Georgia native I grew up with good BBQ being comfort food for my family. If you want to know what Georgia BBQ tastes like this is it. The staff is super sweet and the food is always amazing.

We were just passing through when we decided to stop for a quick dinner. We took a moment to order as we examined the menu. My friend ordered the medium pork BBQ plate with mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. I ordered the small plate with Brunswick stew and baked beans. The BBQ was incredible, the sauce was tangy with a kick and we both really enjoyed it. The sides were incredible! I don't know what who made the Brunswick stew but bravo! We will definitely be stopping here anytime we are in the vacinity!!!

I hit up Pig-N-Chik BBQ with some friends after church on Sunday. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. The waitress's name was Sarah too, and couldn't have been nicer. They brought our food out all at once, and we dove in. There were several different types of BBQ sauce to try - one more vinegar based, another mustard based, and a sweeter more classic one. All were good. I ordered a half pound of the pulled pork, and it did not disappoint. There were plenty of paper towels to go around, and we had a blast. Overall, great Atlanta BBQ!

A little hard to find on the lower corner of a two story strip mall, but definitely worth looking for. Pig-N Chik has some of the best brunswick stew in the city, a great brisket, and top notch pulled pork. Pig-N Chik is family friendly; it feels like every time that I have been there was a large family or a youth sports team attacking plate after plate of barbecue after a baseball or soccer game. The service is good and the turnaround time on orders is very quick. They sell pulled pork by the pound, which makes for a great quick to-go item to take to a party or a tailgate. Overall, a very solid entry into the Atlanta Barbecue pantheon.

Pig-N-Chik is definitely one of my favorite Q' places in Atlanta. First and foremost, I have to agree with many of the other reviewers that the pulled pork is some of the best I have had in the Southeast - served hand pulled, it is moist, juicy and plenty good with no sauce at all. However, what I feel obligated to pay homage to in my review is the Redneck Nachos! My buddy and I make a weekly pilgrimage from our office in buckhead to scarf down this often overlooked medley of goodness on our lunch break. What are "Redneck Nachos" you may ask - they are a layer of french fries, topped with a layer of cheese and finally topped with a layer of pulled pork. Lather liberally with your favorite BBQ sauce and/or Ketchup and you have yourself quite a feast. If you end up taking a trip to Pig-N-Chik, do yourself a favor and don't overlook this slice of heaven!

I had this place before years ago. I thought I remembered it being pretty good but my memory failed me. The ribs were dry. I got a half slab and should have saved my money. The place does offer delivery which is convenient but will only lead to disappointment when you get your food. Don't waste your money. It's best if you drive a little further to a better spot.

I was craving a BBQ salad and didn't know where to go. I had always passed by Pig-N-Chik but never ventured enough to try. I pulled up Yelp and read a few other reviews and thought it was worth a shot. I am so glad I went with Pig-N-Chik. I called ahead to place my order Togo, and the gentleman that answered the phone was patient and helpful when I ordered. He made recommendations and helped me order exactly what I wanted to eat. When I arrived, there was a short wait due to an indecisive customer and I really appreciated how apologetic they were for the wait. The smell in the restaurant was so intense I ended up ordering a plate of smoked wings to add to my order. The food: delicious. The meat was tender and the smoke flavor was intense. I ordered a combo turkey chicken salad with cheese on the side (the menu mentioned how much they like to pile on the cheese. They weren't kidding). There was a decent amount of meat on the salad. I really liked my salad. And the smoked wings were delicious. I wasn't a fan of the BBQ sauce, but it won't deter me from coming back. Because I'll DEFINITELY BE BACK.

We stopped at PigNChick on the way to the Brave's game. It is off Interstate 285 at the Roswell Rd exit.BarBQ is the star of the show.I had the chopped pork and chopped chicken that was tenderer and flavorful. The Mac and cheese and cole slaw were ok but not competitive with the top tier BarBQ restaurants in Atlanta. However, I was happy we made this stop versus the astronomically priced options at the Braves stadium. We will be back!

It's alright. The chicken was decent but the collard greens are weird and they aren't very tender. The Mac and cheese was not good at all very disappointing.

This is definitely a solid barbecue restaurant. I've been here a few times and have had the smoked chicken wings, greens, and chopped chicken. The meat is tender and has a great flavor; I love the house made BBQ sauces. They offer about 3 different flavors, and the spicy sauce is by-far my favorite. The greens have a great flavor, and they use chicken not pork, which is great for a non-pork eater like myself. The people who work here are always pleasant. I will say, however, that you may want to get your food to go, because there are always flies in the restaurant, and that can get a bit annoying. Overall, it's not the best BBQ I've ever had in my life, but it's solid and reasonably priced. I look forward to trying other dishes on the menu.

The Pig-N-Chik is a pretty decent Q joint. I think the food served at the Peachtree Industrial area might just have this location's food beat by a bit, seems like they could have used a little more smoky flavor. Last night we hit up this location of Pig-N-Chik because we were craving BBQ and this is the closet we have. We almost made the drive to Fat Matt's or Fox Bros, but decided with the traffic that we'd just go here. I ordered the sliced brisket with mac and baked beans as my sides; the girl got the pulled pork with mac and Brunswick stew. The brisket was good, but the pulled pork was way better. As far as the sides they were not all that great, the mac n cheese had little taste, the beans tasted like Bush's canned beans, and the Brunswick stew just didn't do it. Although I've had a lot better bbq the Pig-N-Chik did the job. The main dish was good, but the sides need a little work. The service was great and friendly. A good solid bbq place for being in Buckhead / Sandy Springs.

I enjoyed the rib sandwhich, fried orka, and baked beans. The ribs have a great Smokey flavor. The orka was fresh and hot. The baked bean was seasoned well.

The meats were really good, ordered the Brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. All had good flavors. Brisket wasn't dry like most BBQ joints. Worth trying, some of the sides were a bust. The greens were good imo, potato salad and Mac n cheese were good. Beans tasted like it came out of a can. Corn had no seasoning. Ordered on Grubhub and was delivered in a timely manner. Happy with the order being correct. The sides were ok and they didn't bring any utensils for us to eat the sides with. We had it delivered to the hotel so we had no utensils. Luckily the hotel had some.

Oh Lord... Hot Lemon Pepper wings are the bomb. Good customer service and the cashier was extra nice and put a lot of care giving us good customer service. Try the fresh pork rind s! Delicious!

I walked in on a Sunday, it was slow and the waitress seemed restless. I ordered a combo plate for me and my husband to share. The pulled pork was good, the chopped chicken had no flavor. The two ribs given were so small it was a joke, we got the end of the slab. I did not like that they wrapped my chicken and pork in the same foil. I expected buttered Texas Toast and was given toasted white bread. I gave 3 stars because the guy who came from the back was nice and explained things which I liked he was patient. Oh my husband got the banana pudding and did not enjoyed it he went to Publix for theirs.

We've been here a few times now, since we live just up Roswell Road. I've never been terribly impressed, either way, but after our recent visit, we may put it on the regular rotation. My five year old is not a good eater. We're trying to go out every Sunday after church to try something "new". We were the first customers, around 11:30 on a Sunday. I chose the pulled chicken with green beans. Jimmy got the ribs with mac-and-cheese. I got chicken tenders with broccoli for one son and corn dog with baked beans for the other. After ordering, choosing a booth, hiding the condiments container with paper towel roll from the little guy, the cashier informed us that they didn't have mac-and-cheese, so Jimmy chose more baked beans instead. There are a few arcade games to entertain the kids and a bucket of broken crayons with a few coloring books. The cashier also brought our orders to the table. I liked the chicken, adding the mustard sauce. The green beans were standard fair. My son liked the chicken tenders, though after we convinced him to try my chicken and Jimmy's ribs, he preferred those, probably due to the dryness of the chicken tenders. The broccoli was a hit, as it was steamed to softness and still quite juicy. Simple barbecue and simple sides, served quickly on a Sunday. We'll be back!

These guys are great corporate citizens. They give 1st responders half off, the way I know this is that I bought lunch for 9 people and it was only $38.00. When you're in there just remember $5-6 bucks to buy a 1st responder a meal is nothing.

Ordeeed delivery while staying at a hotel overnight. I regret nothing. I got ribs and brisket with baked beans slaw fries and pork rinds and it was all fantastic. Delivery was quick and the food is well priced

This PnC BBQ location has a picnic table style set up. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and fries, and I had 1 rib. Yes, just 1 rib. :) The pulled pork was moist, but could've been more moist. (I know my coworker hates the word moist). Coleslaw wasn't too mayo saucey, so it was a great side. The crinkle cut fries were good ol' fashioned, just the way I like em. The 1 rib that I ate was on the thinner side, could've been beefier, although it's not beef. Anyways, the sauce is where it's at! They have spicy, mustard, and regular (sweet). I smothered my sandwich with all three! Yum

Oh yeah, I'm a fan. And this is why: 1) Super close proximity to my parents' house. 2) Delightful pulled pork, served on thick white bread. I got a few yucky end pieces, but all in all it's seriously solid. Lies somewhere between Dreamland and Fox Bros. in terms of quality BBQ. 3) Great beer selection. Even though we did take out, I took notice of the litany of local selections, as well as a gluten free option in addition to cider. Yay for beer. 4) A nice selection of sides. Whether you're craving mac and cheese, slaw, baked beans, or hushpuppies, they've got it. Good for those who like options, bad for those (like me) who are incredibly indecisive.

Atlanta has a serious problem. It believes that it knows bbq and has some authority to write Yelp reviews on such. I have had the fortune of traveling outside of Atlanta for some cue. My eyes were opened, I saw the light, that good cue is done in a smoker, for many, many hours, till the meat itself is the focal point of bbq, not the sauce. When you drive past these places, you smell the cue long before you get to the doors, it's this first experience that begins your lunch or dinner journey. When the meat is so tender, especially on a rib, that a plastic fork is all you need, it shaves off the ribs and you see the juices, and you can TASTE both the the quality of the meat itself.....smokey flavor infused into the meat, while retaining original moist, texture qualities... THAT is cue, only best described in a run on sentence. I had both the pulled bork and the ribs right before the lunch crowd, on a Saturday. The meat was not at all as I described above. It was only edible. It was not three star, it did not melt in my mouth, nor do I believe it had the capability to do so. The quality of the meat was just not there, nor was anything reflected in the meat of the cooking process. As for the sauce, now if I could just rate a sauce, I'd give it 4.5 stars. I do like a variety of sauces, and while this is a sweet full sauce, I really dig it. I could buy a bottle, but never darken the actual doors of the place again. I pray for you, Atlanta, that you will find the holy grail of cue, Pig N Chik does not hold it.
