Smoking Pig BBQ

I Love Smoking Pig! I always order the pulled pork Sammy. It's nice and lean without fatty chunks. Their whole selection is great. Burnt ends are great as well. Not dry. I will say their dining area smells like stinky eggs... But hey. It's a small price to pay for good BBQ.

Great food, place needs an upgrade.

Was in town for the Lions game and was walking somewhere else and it smelled so good I had to stop. Great pulled pork sandwich.

I loved this place! ❤️ The food was amazing, and the service was top-notch! Loved the brisket, beans and mac and cheese. We just happened by the place because it was open near us while we were driving around. When we said we hadn't been there before, the guy taking our order gave great recommendations and made sure we left with ALL the flavors of BBQ sauce. Because of him (and the food), I will definitely be going back.

This was not my first visit to this location, but it had been a number of years since then (pre-pandemic) and this was a far more disappointing experience. The dining room itself just looks sad and uninviting and the gender-neutral bathroom is a disaster. (I didn't go into the men's one so I can only guess at that one's state!) If I hadn't needed to use it so urgently, I would have walked right back out of it and skipped it. The young woman who helped me order was nice, though I was disappointed that they didn't have any baked potatoes. Online info led me to believe they had them, but apparently only "Mondays before 2:00" (that would have been good information to have online, just saying). I ordered a brisket sandwich and I have to say the meat was delicious and plentiful. Far, far better than my last trip to Armadillo Willy's. They let you choose "lean, fatty or mixed;" I ordered mixed and it was indeed a mix. But the way it's slapped onto the really tasty bun made it hard to handle and awkward. Put on some BBQ sauce and it turns into a dripping mess. And the fries were not good. They have that potato-starch coating on them and no flavor (even though there appeared to be pepper on them, which I didn't appreciate.) I barely ate any of mine, so they were a disappointment. Considering the cost, the side should be a compliment and not a detraction. I plan to go back to try to score a baked potato, but not to this location. I'll go to one of the newer ones that isn't as sad. Parking: The lot is small and very awkward to navigate. I felt lucky that there was almost no one in it so I didn't run into a problem.

Great food and reasonable prices GO

Really enjoyed the pulled pork/brisket combo with baked beans. Would love to visit again next time I'm in San Jose.
