Pigout BBQ & Southern Soul Food

"Plutot decus par cette experience. Nous etions venus un soir principalement parce que nous cherchions un vrai BBQ sudiste, notamment pour deguster un bon brisket. Pas de chance : pas de brisket ce soir-la. Ca peut arriver, donc nous nous sommes rabattus sur d'autres viandes. La viande etait correcte, mais les accompagnements, eux, etaient une veritable deception. Le mac'n'cheese etait rate : quasiment que du fromage, tres peu de macaronis, et aucun gout. Le coleslaw n'etait pas a notre gout non plus. Dans l'ensemble, peu de choses a defendre dans ce repas. Dommage, nous esperions une experience agreable qui n'est jamais vraiment arrivee."

"Let's start with the service. It was fantastic. We had an extremely nice waitress who was expedient with the service. The establishment was clean. There was not a wait time. Parking was ample. The food, especially the pork ribs, were delicious. Pricing was about what you would expect in a tourist destination. I recommend visiting this business."

"I have been all over the east coast from NY to FL and this has been the best BBQ I have had. Everything is home made and taste fantastic. Not to mention the staff is extremely friendly and the outdoor seating is dog friendly! And the prices are very reasonable"

"We stop in here every time we are in the Bradenton area! The food is amazing, we've had every meat that they make and haven't ever had anything we didn't enjoy. It truly is Soul food and hits the spot. The Service is always fast and friendly. I recommend anyone who likes smoked meat and good BBQ stop in and try it out. You won't be disappointed!"

"Great family vibe. Marley was our server & she was amazing. Service was great, food was great! Definitely going back. I had the Brisket sandwich. Only thing to consider ls less fat on the Brisket but I'm a meat snobb."

"Decided to order takeout on a Sunday I ordered the brisket and the mac & cheese and the potato salad. The brisket was OK. The mac & cheese was watery but had good flavor and the potato salad was absolutely disgusting. They put sweet potatoes in their potato salad that should be an abomination probably won't be going back. The service was good though the waitress was very nice"

"If you're looking for a no-frills, hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint with solid flavors and big portions, Pigout BBQ & Southern Soul Food in Bradenton is worth a visit. We ordered a half rack of spare ribs with pulled chicken and another with pulled pork, plus a mix of sides--potato salad, mac n' cheese, baked beans, and mashed sweet potatoes--so we could try a bit of everything. The ribs were the standout, with a great tangy and sweet BBQ flavor and a tender, moist texture. The pulled pork had a decent smoky flavor, but the pulled chicken tasted more like rotisserie chicken than slow-smoked BBQ. Both pulled meats were extremely juicy--almost too watery--but still enjoyable. The house-made sauces were fantastic, with a choice between a sweet BBQ and a golden mustard-based sauce--both were flavorful and complemented the meats well. Among the sides, the potato salad was my favorite. It's made with a mix of regular and sweet potatoes, giving it a unique pinkish hue, which might be unexpected for some, but I loved it. The mac n' cheese was a close second--creamy and perfectly cooked. The baked beans were good, but the mashed sweet potatoes were just okay. I noticed a lot of people ordering the fried okra, so that's on my list for next time. Portion sizes were very generous, and I even had leftovers--which is rare for me! The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a classic hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint--casual, laid-back, and no frills. The service was friendly, not the fastest, but welcoming. Overall, I'd definitely go back and try the smoked bone-in chicken, brisket, and fried okra next time. If you're in Bradenton and craving BBQ, Pigout is a solid option!"
