Peg Leg Porker

The restaurant is proof that simple can be outstanding and I highly recommend. The place is great barbecue in a basic, counter-service style restaurant. The people were friendly, the service was prompt, and attentive--something you don't always see in a counter service restaurant. We had the pulled pork sandwich and platter. The pork was tender, flavorful, and had some good brown/burn for a little crust. The beans have an interesting flavor I have not experienced before--a different kind of smoke maybe? The potato salad was a nice texture and good mayo and herb combination. The sauces--hot and mild--both flavorful. The mild was a bit sweet. Will look for a chance to visit again on our next cross country trip.

Food: pork sandwich was excellent, Cole slaw on sandwich was much better, would have enjoyed either way. BBQ beans were good, nice mixture of BBQ sauce, bacon, and peppers. Glad they called them BBQ beans instead of baked beans. Mac cheese was creamy,thick and tasty. Pork platter was excellent.
We got there late, about 9pm, but there was still a long line but it moved quickly. They were out of ribs and yardbirds and we were concerned about quality of remaining food, but there was no need, for it tasted as fresh as if they had just opened. Ambiance had a nice mix of college town flavor and a southern BBQ joint with a good mix of background music. Definitely on the list for a return visit.
